Many famous Italian Renaissance artworks were made to celebrate
love and marriage. They were the pinnacles of a tradition---dating
from the early Renaissance---of commemorating betrothal, marriage,
and the birth of a child by commissioning extraordinary objects or
exchanging them as gifts. This important volume is the first to
examine the entire range of works to which Renaissance rituals of
love and marriage gave rise and makes a major contribution to our
understanding of Renaissance art in its broader cultural context.
Some 140 works of art, dating from about 1400 to 1600, are
discussed by a distinguished group of scholars and are reproduced
in full color. Marriage and childbirth gifts are the point of
departure. These range from maiolica, glassware, and jewelry to
birth trays, musical instruments, and nuptial portraits. Bonds of
love of another sort were represented in erotic drawings and
prints. From these precedents, an increasingly inventive approach
to subjects of love and marriage culminated in paintings by some of
the greatest artists of the Renaissance, including Giulio Romano,
Lorenzo Lotto, and Titian. Published in association with The
