Winner of the 2011 Bainton Prize for Reference Works A Companion to
Early Modern Rome, 1492-1692, edited by Pamela M. Jones, Barbara
Wisch, and Simon Ditchfield, is a unique multidisciplinary study
offering innovative analyses of a wide range of topics. The 30
chapters critique past and recent scholarship and identify new
avenues for research.
First published in 2000, Confraternities and the Visual Arts in
Renaissance Italy: Ritual, Spectacle, Image was the first book to
consider the role of Italian confraternities in the patronage of
art. Eleven interdisciplinary essays analyze confraternal painting,
sculpture, architecture, and dramatic spectacles by documenting the
unique historical and ritual contexts in which they were
experienced. Exploring the evolution of devotional practices, the
roles of women and youths, the age's conception of charity, and the
importance of confraternities in civic politics and urban design,
this book offers illuminating approaches to one of the most dynamic
forms of corporate patronage in early modern Italy.
