This fourth volume in the European Festival Studies, 1450-1700
series breaks with precedent in stemming from a joint conference
(Venice, 2013) between the Society for European Festivals Research
and the PALATIUM project supported by the European Science
Foundation. The volume draws on up-to-date research by a
Europe-wide group of academic scholars and museum and gallery
curators to provide a unique, intellectually-stimulating and
beautifully-illustrated account of temporary architecture created
for festivals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, together
with permanent architecture pressed into service for festival
occasions across major European locations including Italian,
French, Austrian, Scottish and German. Appealing and vigorous in
style, the essays look towards classical sources while evoking
political and practical circumstances and intellectual concerns -
from re-shaping and re-conceptualizing early sixteenth-century
Rome, through providing for the well-being and political allegiance
of Medici-era Florentines and exploring the teasing aesthetics of
performance at Versailles to accommodating players and spectators
in seventeenth-century Paris and at royal and ducal events for the
Habsburg, French and English crowns. The volume is unique in its
field in the diversity of its topics and the range of its
scholarship and fascinating in its account of the intellectual and
political life of Early Modern Europe.
