This book examines the multi-media art patronage of three
generations of the Tornabuoni family, who commissioned works from
innovative artists, such as Sandro Botticelli and Rosso Fiorentino.
Best known for commissioning the fresco cycle in Santa Maria
Novella by Domenico Ghirlandaio, a key monument of the Florentine
Renaissance, the Tornabuoni ordered a number of still-surviving art
works, inspired by their commitment to family, knowledge of ancient
literature, music, love, loss, and religious devotion. This
extensive body of work makes the Tornabuoni a critically important
family of early modern art patrons. However, they are further
distinguished by the numerous objects they commissioned to honor
female relations who served in different family roles, thus
deepening understanding of Florentine Renaissance gender relations.
Maria DePrano presents a comprehensive picture of how one
Florentine family commissioned art to gain recognition in their
society, revere God, honor family members, especially women, and
memorialize deceased loved ones.
