Summary; "In 1440, on the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, Florence unexpectedly defeated Milanese forces near the town of Anghiari in eastern Tuscany. Nicholas A. Eckstein reveals the impact of this celebrated victory on Florentine public life and how it could have triggered the custodians of the Brancacci Chapel, the Carmelite friars, to seek the completion of frescoes by Masolino (1383-1447) and Masaccio (1401-1428).

The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies,22. The essays in this cross-disciplinary volume mark a major advance in study of the famous early-Renaissance frescoes in Florence's Brancacci chapel. Exploiting the challenge posed by a virtual absence of contemporary documentation, authors from several disciplines here mark out new parameters for analysis of chapel and frescoes, of their creators - Masolino, Masaccio and Filippino Lippi - and the relationship of the iconography to 15th-century Florentine history, piety, devotion, liturgy, theatrical performance, and contemporary workshop culture. I saggi di questo volume interdisciplinare segnano un importante avanzamento nello studio dei famosi affreschi del primo Rinascimento nella Cappella Brancacci di Firenze. Cogliendo la sfida della mancanza di documentazione coeva, autori di diverse discipline tracciano nuovi parametri di analisi della cappella e degli affreschi, dei loro creatori Masolino, Masaccio e Filippino Lippi e del rapporto fra iconografia e storia, religiosità, devozione, liturgia, rappresentazioni teatrali e cultura delle botteghe del tempo nella Firenze quattrocentesca. Firenze, Villa I Tatti, 6 giugno 2003. A cura di Nicholas A. Eckstein.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume advances our knowledge of continuing trends over the longue duree of European history. It also exposes many differences separating contemporaries from their medieval and early modern ancestors. In putting the concept of social capital to the test, the authors also expose the strengths, weaknesses, and limits of the 'Putnam thesis'. The essays address fourteenth-century English fears of old-age neglect; childhood, friendship, scandal, and rivalry in Renaissance Florence; rebellion in an Italian village; social capital and seigneurial power in southern and north-central Italy; guild violence in Calvinist Ghent; civil society in early-modern Bologna, Naples and the Papal State; gender in High Renaissance Rome; and critical analyses of the transition from religious to secular sensibilities that scholars (following Jurgen Habermas) have identified in eighteenth-century Europe. In each case, the topic is considered in relation to recent theories of 'social capital': the informal, intangible bonds of trust upon which, social scientist Robert Putnam argues, every human community depends. The result is a series of highly original case-studies which reveal the workings of late medieval and early modern European society from new and often unexpected angles. Sociability and its Discontents offers a series of highly original case-studies showing the workings of late medieval and early modern European society from new and often unexpected angles. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
