Renaissance Siena : Art in Context
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Figures -- Abbreviations -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Reality and Ideality in Sienese Renaissance Cityscapes -- Palace Façades in Late Medieval and Renaissance Siena -- The Rebuilding of the Church of Santo Spirito in the Late Fifteenth Century -- Narrative in Context -- Ambrogio Spannocchi’s “Bella Casa” -- A Fifteenth-century Sienese Fabula -- The Rise of Saint Catherine of Siena as an Intercessor for the Sienese -- Selected Bibliography -- Contributors -- Index
The art of Renaissance Siena is usually viewed in the light of developments and accomplishments achieved elsewhere, but Sienese artists were part of a dynamic dialogue that was shaped by their city’s internal political turmoil, diplomatic relationships with its neighbors, internal social hierarchies, and struggle for self-definition. These essays lead scholars in a new and exciting direction in the study of the art of Renaissance Siena, exploring the cultural dynamics of the city and its art in a specifically Sienese context. This volume shapes a new understanding of Sienese culture in the early modern period and defines the questions scholars will continue to ask for years to come. What emerges is a picture of Renaissance Siena as a city focused on meeting the challenges of the time while formulating changes to shape its future. Central to these changes are the city’s efforts to fashion a civic identity through the visual arts
