The Art Collector in Early Modern Italy

Transforming the Church Interior in Renaissance Florence

Andrea Odoni and his Venetian Palace Monika Schmitter | University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Screens and Choir Spaces, from the Middle Ages to Tridentine Reform Joanne Allen | American University, Washington DC

Art historians, historians, curators, collectors, Italophiles, and lovers of Venice will appreciate this book about the sixteenth-century Art collector, Andrea Odoni, an immigrant and a non-noble citizen of Venice, who became famous for his palace, his possessions, and especially his portrait

by Lorenzo Lotto that depicts him as a collector.

• Recreates in the imagination through words and images the material culture of the Renaissance home in Venice • Examines how non-dominant elites and immigrants used culture to make names for themselves • Shows how works of Art can present cultural and social arguments

In Renaissance Florence, churches were once internally divided by monumental screens, impressive Artistic structures which separated the laity from the clergy. This book reconstructs the social and visual effects of these layouts and examines the religious and aesthetic motivations behind the elimination of screens in the Counter-Reformation.

• Reconstructs the original spatial layout of church interiors, explaining common architectural forms (with a glossary), Artistic features, patterns of patronage, and devotional and functional aspects • Introduces readers to the functions of screens as divisive, inclusive, or controlling devices which determined how laymen, laywomen, and clergy interacted in the church interior • ChArts in detail how and why the internal screens were removed from the churches of Florence in the later sixteenth century, explaining the motivations of crucial figures and the influence of the Council of Trent

Criticism, Performance, and the Passions in the Eighteenth Century

Performance and Modernity Enacting Change on the Globalizing Stage Julia A. Walker | Washington University, St Louis
