Routledge Apostolic Iconography and Florentine Confraternities

Apostolic Iconography and Florentine Confraternities in the Age of Reform explores the art and architecture of three different confraternal organizations in Florence. Published by Routledge as part of the Visual Culture in Early Modernity series, this study focuses on artists and architectural complexes that have not been widely covered in English-language publications. Through an examination of their specific art programs, the book looks at renovations that featured decorative cycles centered on the apostles. A primary focus includes the complex of Gesu Pellegrino, where a fresco cycle depicts the apostles in their roles as disciples and proselytizers. This work provides a detailed look at religious visual culture during a significant period of Florentine history.
