The Arrival of Cosimo’s Neptune: Early Works and Influences from Abroad 2. Art and Festival: The Neptune Fountain in the Piazza della Signoria and the Entrata of Johanna of Austria in 1565 3. Granducal Florence and the Age of Francesco I, 1566–1587: Courtly Pleasures and the Decline of Public Authority 4. A Revitalized Age: Ferdinand I and the Wedding of 1589ReviewsThe Politics of Water gets to the bottom of the observation formulated at the outset from several perspectives and, in addition to studies on European festival culture, art history, urban planning and architectural history issues, also evaluates a not insignificant amount of archival sources published for the first time. In addition to the presentation of profound knowledge of the political festivals in and outside Florence, Felica M. Else succeeds in tracing the integration of maritime topics in the Medici public space. This gives a comprehensive picture of a dynasty that managed to 'take up the fight against water' within the 16th century and make it fruitful for 'its representation'. - Anna Lisa Schwartz, Sehepunkte Author InformationFelicia M. Else is Professor of Art History in the Department of Art and Art History at Gettysburg College. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
