- Summary
- "Strong Women in Renaissance Italy explores women's live from the fourteenth to early seventeenth centuries by drawing on a wide range of artworks: paintings, prints, and sculptures, as well as velvet panels, illustrated books, embroideries, woven narrative images, and even a box decorated with cut straw that emulates gold. By asking new questions and reflecting on new approaches to the study of the Italian Renaissance, this book and the exhibition it accompanies use the stories these objects tell to illuminate how Italian Renaissance women forged paths to creativity as well as found ways to exert power and influence, even in the face of great challenges. This broad view encompasses works made by women, including the many women whose names are lost to history; works commissioned or influenced by women; works made for women's use; and images of female exemplars of power, strength, and wisdom"--
