In this book, Leah R. Clark examines collecting practices across
the Italian Renaissance court, exploring the circulation, exchange,
collection, and display of objects. Rather than focusing on
patronage strategies or the political power of individual
collectors, she uses the objects themselves to elucidate the
dynamic relationships formed through their exchange. Her study
brings forward the mechanisms that structured relations within the
court, and most importantly, also with individuals,
representations, and spaces outside the court. The volume examines
the courts of Italy through the wide variety of objects - statues,
paintings, jewellery, furniture, and heraldry - that were valued
for their subject matter, material forms, histories, and social
functions. As Clark shows, the late fifteenth-century Italian court
an be located not only in the body of the prince, but also in the
objects that constituted symbolic practices, initiated political
dialogues, caused rifts, created memories, and formed associations.
