In this book, Irina Chernetsky examines how humanists, patrons, and
artists promoted Florence as the reincarnation of the great cities
of pagan and Christian antiquity - Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem. The
architectural image of an ideal Florence was discussed in
chronicles and histories, poetry and prose, and treatises on art
and religious sermons. It was also portrayed in paintings,
sculpture, and sketches, as well as encoded in buildings erected
during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Over time, the
concept of an ideal Florence became inseparable from the real city,
in both its social and architectural structures. Chernetsky
demonstrates how the Renaissance notion of genealogy was applied to
Florence, which was considered to be part of a family of
illustrious cities of both the past and present. She also explores
the concept of the ideal city in its intellectual, political, and
aesthetic contexts, while offering new insights into the experience
of urban space.
