Summary:

"Art, Memory, and Family in Renaissance Florence examines the relationship between the production of objects and the production of memory and history in fifteenth-century Florence. Recent studies of Florence by cultural, social, political, and economic historians have resulted in extensive knowledge of family life in this period and the significance of family, kin, and neighborhood in the social and political life of the city. Investigating the means and modes of formulating and recording those relationships, the essays in this study illuminate the connections between society, art, and collective memory."--Jacket.
