Description

Explore the deep historical connections between Renaissance Florence and the great cities of antiquity. In this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press, Irina Chernetsky examines how the city was promoted as a reincarnation of Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem. This study looks at how humanists, patrons, and artists shaped a specific image of an ideal Florence through various forms of expression. Readers will find a detailed analysis of how this concept appeared in chronicles, histories, poetry, and prose. The book also traces these mythological themes through art treatises, religious sermons, paintings, sculpture, and sketches. By looking at the buildings erected during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, Chernetsky shows how these symbolic ideas became a permanent part of the city's identity. This text is an essential resource for those interested in the history of art, Renaissance culture, and the evolution of urban identity in Italy.
