Broschur / paperback Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Sehr guter Zustand / Very good condition. - Winner of the American Association of Italian Studies Book Prize for 2006. Cover Illustration: Agnolo Bronzino, "Portrait of Maria Salviati with a Lapdog, ca. 1526." / The status of portraiture in the sixteenth century how it was viewed, and how it mirrors shifts in the philosophy and theory of the portrayal of women and the ruling castes are recurring themes in this study Each chapter is devoted to a Medici woman, with chapter 3 devoted to girls. In the course of this exploration, the actual lives of Medici women were often revealed to be remarkable - courageous, tragic, vain, tempestuous, pious, intellectually brilliant, reckless, discontented, and charismatic, some even unenviable and depressing - as seen by those who recorded them. Their biographies are woven through these pages to commemorate them, but they stand, too, as a sharp foil to the distinct court conventions and canons developed for their portrayal.

Portraiture Especially Served The Dynastic Pretensions Of The Absolutist Ruler, Duke Cosimo And His Consort, Eleonora Di Toledo, And Was Part Of A Herculean Programme Of Propaganda To Establish Legitimacy And Prestige For The New Sixteenth-Century Florentine Court.
