This book examines the sociocultural networks between the courts of
early modern Italy and Europe, focusing on the Florentine Medici
court, and the cultural patronage and international gendered
networks developed by the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, Vittoria della
Rovere. Adelina Modesti uses Grand Duchess Vittoria as an exemplar
of pan-European 'matronage' and proposes a new matrilineal model of
patronage in the early modern period, one in which women become not
only the mediators but also the architects of public taste and the
transmitters of cultural capital. The book will be the first
comprehensive monographic study of this important cultural figure.
This study will be of interest to scholars working in art history,
gender studies, Renaissance studies and seventeenth-century Italy.
