The Biography Of The Object In Late Medieval And Renaissance Italy
Material culture is not static: objects are created, used and re-used, sometimes for centuries, and their lives interact with the people who made and used them. This book discusses the 'social lives' of objects in late-medieval and renaissance Italy, ranging from maiolica, through sculpture and prostitutes' jewellery, to miraculous painted images.
