This book provides a reassessment of the theory of magnificence in
light of the related social virtue of splendour. Author James
Lindow highlights how magnificence, when applied to private
palaces, extended beyond the exterior to include the interior as a
series of splendid spaces where virtuous expenditure could and
should be displayed. Examining the fifteenth-century Florentine
palazzo from a new perspective, Lindow's groundbreaking study
considers these buildings comprehensively as complete entities,
from the exterior through to the interior. This book highlights the
ways in which classical theory and Renaissance practice intersected
in quattrocento Florence. Using unpublished inventories, private
documents and surviving domestic objects, The Renaissance Palace in
Florence offers a more nuanced understanding of the early modern
urban palace.
