Street corners, guild halls, government offices, and confraternity
centers contained paintings that made the city of Florence a visual
jewel at precisely the time of its emergence as an international
cultural leader. This book considers the paintings that were made
specifically for consideration by lay viewers, as well as the way
they could have been interpreted by audiences who approached them
with specific perspectives. Their belief in the power of images,
their understanding of the persuasiveness of pictures, and their
acceptance of the utterly vital role that art could play as a
propagator of civic, corporate, and individual identity made lay
viewers keenly aware of the paintings in their midst. Those
pictures affirmed the piety of the people for whom they were made
in an age of social and political upheaval, as the city
experimented with an imperfect form of republicanism that often
failed to adhere to its declared aspirations.
