Description

Explore the complex history of the Venetian glass industry through the eyes of historian Patrick McCray. This volume moves beyond technical details to examine how glassmaking functioned as both a technical and social phenomenon during the Renaissance. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how demand, production, and distribution shaped the industry. The text evaluates how luxury goods were sought after during this period and how technology changed as a social process. It also looks at the relationship between industry and government, providing a necessary look at how these forces interacted to shape a world-renowned craft. By placing this industry within its broader economic and cultural context, this book offers a fresh perspective on a craft that has traditionally been viewed through a limited lens. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of art, Renaissance economics, and the development of specialized industries.
