Description

Irina Chernetsky's scholarly examination reveals how Renaissance Florence was deliberately reimagined as the reincarnation of antiquity's greatest cities - Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem. This comprehensive study traces how humanists, patrons, and artists promoted this mythological identity across multiple mediums and disciplines. The book explores how this idealized vision of Florence appeared in chronicles, histories, poetry, prose, treatises on art, and religious sermons, whilst simultaneously manifesting in paintings, sculpture, sketches, and the actual architecture constructed during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Chernetsky demonstrates how the concept of an ideal Florence became increasingly inseparable from the real city itself, shaping both its physical form and social identity. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work provides essential insight into the cultural construction of Renaissance identity and the power of classical mythology in shaping urban consciousness.
