"Venice has always prided itself on its glamorous and exclusive style, and the term 'Venetian' has been associated with beauty and opulence for centuries. The quality of the Venetian syle has softened the divide that traditionally separated arts from crafts. In the city on the lagoon, where famous painters such as Titian, Tintoretto, Guardi and Tiepolo made Venetian scenes famous throughout the world, other, lesser known but equalliy important workshops contributed to the excellence of Venetian arts and crafts. With their creativity and excellent taste, master craftsmen gave shape to a variety of materials. Stone, wood, iron, bronze, gold, silver, glass, ceramic, stucco, cloth, and leather turn into masterpieces of unique beauty and perfection in the hands of expert Venetian artisans. This book, subdivided in four sections corresponding to the art materials -- the solid arts, the malleable sarts, the fragile arts and the soft arts--provides a showcase of magnificent objects, most never seen before, many of which are housed in the aristocratic palaces of Venice. Doretta Davanzo Poli, an expert in what has been called, inappropriately as this book will prove, the 'minor arts', proposes for each chapter a chronological reading of the artisan guilds whose artistic production, adapting to the changing times and fashions, is documented in over two hundred illustrations. The extraordinary photography by Mark E. Smith, whose sensitivity to detail and familiarity with Venetian life captures the essence of objects and decorations, emphasizes the material itself and its transformation into objects d'art and artistic maseterpieces. Where should one look to appreciate the splendor of Venetian decoration? In the lightness of marble panels, the varied chromatic quality of the floors, the sumptuousness of the ceilings -- sculptured and gilded? Or in the virtuosity of the wooden inlays, the unique forging of the grillwork, the transparencies of glass and the masterful stucco decorations? Here, and in many other examples of outstanding craftsmanship presented in this book, the reader will find the elegance that raises Venetian ornamentation to the status of true art"--Publisher's description, p.

How 16th century Venetian silk manufacturers met the challenge of demand for lighter and cheaper fabric. The manufacture of luxury textiles, such as silk, was central to an Italian Renaissance economy based on status and conspicuous consumption. From the rapidly changing fashions that drove demand to the jobs created for craftsmen, weavers, and merchants, the wealth and prestige associated with silk throughout Europe made it Italy's leading export industry. In this important book, Luca Molà examines the silk industry in Renaissance Venice amid changing markets, suppliers, producers, and government regulations. Drawing on archival research and a vast amount of European scholarship, Molà documents the innovations Venetians made in manufacturing and marketing to spur the silk industry. He uncovers the alliance between manufacturers and government to promote the industry in a changing international economic environment. Through flexible laws, quality was regulated to meet the varying requirements of an increasing range of customers. Molà also analyzes state policy that favored the development and organization of silk producers throughout the Terraferma. His findings contribute in an important way to the ongoing scholarly assessment of Venice's place in the economy of the Renaissance and the Mediterranean world.

Did you grow up believing in fairy tales of youth suggesting that you could have a "happily ever after" life story? Or maybe your experience was more along the line of someone telling you that you would have a wonderful life if you just (fill in the blank). Most people will say that disappointment in life is a common experience that we all share. Maybe it wouldn't really surprise you at all to find out that life is meant to be a test of endurance, filled with trials and tribulations that are specifically designed by a loving God meant for your benefit. Even so, there will be times when you will trip and fall just skinning your knees, while at other times, you may lunge straightforward into a dark abyss. As someone who passionately believes that we all have a story to tell, Jane Stowe offers spiritual insight gained from her passage down a road of breathtaking brokenness into a life of gratitude. She carries the reader from her early years to develop a story that weaves excruciatingly through innocence, profound loss, confusion, and her own personal failures toward a heart-wrenching acceptance that all we can ultimately control is not what happens to us as much as how we respond to what happens to us. Her desire is that you will see within these pages that her spiritual journey was assuredly blessed by God's grace and His love and that we can have hope that a happy ending is available to all. However, she also acknowledges that refresher courses may be required from time to time. Jane believes there are no coincidences in life, and perhaps even finding this book in your hands may have been assisted by divine providence.

This book is a survey of the history of work in general and of European urban artisans in particular, from the late middle ages to the era of industrialization. Unlike traditional histories of work and craftsmen, this book offers a multi-faceted understanding of artisan experience situated in the artisans' culture. It treats economic and institutional topics, but also devotes considerable attention to the changing ideologies of work, the role of government regulation in the world of work, the social history of craftspeople, the artisan in rebellion against the various authorities in his world, and the ceremonial and leisure life of artisans. Women, masters, journeymen, apprentices, and non-guild workers all receive substantial treatment. The book concludes with a chapter on the nineteenth century, examining the transformation of artisan culture, exploring how and why the early modern craftsman became the industrial wage-worker, mechanic or shopkeeper of the modern age.

Described as ‘the most beautiful book ever printed’ previous research has focused on the printing history of the Hypnerotomachia and its copious literary sources. This monograph critically engages with the narrative of the Hypnerotomachia and with Poliphilo as a character within this narrative, placing it within its European literary context. Using narratological analysis, it examines the journey of Poliphilo and the series of symbolic, allegorical, and metaphorical experiences narrated by him that are indicative of his metamorphosing interiority. It analyses the relationship between Poliphilo and his external surroundings in sequences of the narrative pertaining to thresholds; the symbolic architectural, topographical, and garden forms and spaces; and Poliphilo’s transforming interior passions including his love of antiquarianism, language, and Polia, the latter of which leads to his elegiac description of lovesickness, besides examinations of numerosophical symbolism in number, form, and proportion of the architectural descriptions and how they relate to the narrative.
