In Augustinian Art and Meditation in Renaissance Florence, Antonia
Fondaras reunites the fifteenth-century altarpieces painted by
Botticelli, Piero di Cosimo, Filippino Lippi, and other masters for
the choir of the Augustinian church of Santo Spirito in Florence.
Departing from a conventional focus on artist and patron, the
author illuminates the engagement of the Augustinian Hermit friars
with the composition and iconography of these pictures, and
discusses how they were used to fashion the choir into a space
suited to the friars' institutional and spiritual ideals. Fondaras
includes a close reading of the choir's most compelling and
original altarpieces, which were grounded in the writings of
Augustine and provided a focal point for the friars' sophisticated
meditative practices.
