Originally published in 2000. Fashioning Identities analyses some
of the different ways in which identities were fashioned in and
with art during the Renaissance, taken as meaning the period
c.1300-1600. The notion of such a search for new identities,
expressed in a variety of new themes, styles and genres, has been
all-pervasive in the historical and critical literature dealing
with the period, starting with Burckhardt, and it has been given a
new impetus by contemporary scholarship using a variety of
methodological approaches. The identities involved are those of
patrons, for whom artistic patronage was a means of consolidating
power, projecting ideologies, acquiring social prestige or building
a suitable public persona; and artists, who developed a distinctive
manner to fashion their artistic identity, or drew attention to
aspects of their artistic personality either in self portraiture,
or the style and placing of their signature, or by exploiting a
variety of literary forms.
