Mr. Lopez reinterprets the civilization of the High Renaissance in Italy as a dramatic succession of three ages: Youth, 1454-1494; Maturity, 1494-1527; Decline, 1527-1559. In the first period, political and economic stabilization brings forth a mood of confident expectation which expresses itself in literature, art, and philosophy, all reaching for a goal of "self-centered aesthetic harmony." In the second period, a series of foreign invasions shatters the political and economic well-being of the Indian elite but does not slow down the artistic and literary drive. Whether in hope or in sorrow, in response to shock or in escape from reality, the Renaissance attains its glorious climax. The third period is torn between conflicting tendencies. The political battle is lost but there is a second economic revival; art and literature give out despondent notes but successfully explore new channels; philosophic permissiveness comes to an end but scientific reserach comes into its own. Mr. Lopez's tripartition of an age which is usually described as a single sweep adds depth to the definition of the Italian Renaissance. It is enhanced by his fresh translations of Renaissance poems and by twenty-four illustrations which pick out from the incomparable wealth of Renaissance art a few historically significant works. All the famous names are there, from Lorenzo de'Medici to Ariosto, Machiavelli, and Cardano, from Botticelli to Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Palladio; but one also meets a large number of minor figures and anonymous people in the street. America is discovered; new diseases appear; anti-Semitism reawakens; religious unity is destroyed - these and other events form the backdrop. The sparkling narration is thoroughly grounded in contemporary sources.

"This book explores grace as a complex idea and term that at once expresses and connects the most pressing ethical, social, and aesthetic debates of the Italian Renaissance. Grace surfaced time and again in the period's discussions of the individual pursuit of the good life and in the collective quest to determine the best means to a harmonious society. It rose to prominence in theological debates about the soul's salvation and in secular debates about how best to live at court. It was absolutely central to the thinking of Reformation figures such as Erasmus and Luther, and just as central to the Counter-Reformation response. It played a pivotal role in the humanist campaign to develop a shared literary language and it featured prominently in the efforts of writers and artists to express the full potential of mankind. Grace abounded in the Italian Renaissance, yet it was as hard to define as it was ever-present. The courtier and writer, Baldassare Castiglione, for example, described it as that 'certain air' which distinguished excellent courtiers and court ladies from their mediocre counterparts, while his artist friend, Raffaello Sanzio (Raphael), saw it as that quality produced when one conceals the hard work and effort of art behind a veil of nonchalance and ease. This classically-inspired grace was used by many as a way of claiming distinction for themselves and of arguing for the pre-eminence of their chosen disciplines, but it drew criticism too from those who saw it as self-interested and superficial. Quarrels about the meaning and value of grace involved theologians, artists, writers and philosophers and intersected with the most famous debates of the time about language, society and the role of literature and the visual arts. As well as shedding light on what grace meant to those who invoked it, this book aims to trace the interdisciplinary transactions that the word made possible. Each chapter combines consideration of pivotal texts and images with interdisciplinary approaches, examining what grace meant to protagonists of the Italian Renaissance and exploring the correspondence, whether direct or indirect, between them. What emerges is a network of friendships, rivalries, agreements and disputes: a sketch of the interconnections that made the Italian Renaissance"--

Italy in the Age of Renaissance offers a new introduction to the most celebrated period of Italian history in twelve essays by leading and innovative scholars. Recent scholarship has enriched our understanding of Renaissance Italy by adding new themes and perspectives that have challenged the traditional picture of a largely secular and elite world of humanists, merchants, patrons, and princes. These new themes encompass both social and cultural history (the family, women, lay religion, the working classes, marginal social groups) as well as new dimensions of political history that highlight the growth of territorial states, the powers and limits of government, the representation of power in art and architecture, the role of the South, and the dialogue between elite and non-elite classes. This thematically organized volume introduces readers to the fruitful interaction between the more traditional topics in Renaissance studies and the new, broader approach to the period that has developed in the last generation.

"This beautifully illustrated book is the first to look at the role of the urban Italian house in the development of Renaissance art and culture. "The Renaissance Home" brings together a wide range of objects, from furniture and kitchen utensils to popular prints, jewellery and everyday dress, to reveal how the homes of the upper- and middle-classes made a crucial contribution to the flowering of the visual arts in 15th- and 16th-century Italy. Drawing on a wide array of sources including inventories, account-books, letters, treatises, and archaeological and conservation reports, it offers a completely fresh exploration of the fascinating domestic world of Renaissance Italy."
