An international journal for comparative historical studies.
The theme "L'arme e gli amori" involving Ariosto, Tasso and Guarini was taken up in Florence during the late 16th century, not only as a literary model but as an ideal for aristocratic behavior. It became a favourite subject of academic debate which nourished art, literature and politics in a way that inspired dynastic and civic allegory. The pictorial arts, theatre, music and ceremonial all took advantage of these literary formulae, creating new traditions and conventions.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.
The taste for chinoiserie, which originated and developed in the West during the 17th century, reinterpreted the themes, ornamentation and decorative techniques of the Far East and China. This volume is the first published on Italian Chinoiserie, a style developed slightly later in Italy than at other European courts, but which flourished rapidly and spectacularly during the 18th century when a passion for the Orient heavily influenced the rococo style. Throughout the peninsula many of the Italian courts - from the Bourbons in Sicily and Campania to the Savoys in Piedmont, from the Veneto to papal Rome and including Florence and the Medici, later Lorraine, Grand Duchy - indulged their enthusiasm for chinoiseries creating some intriguing works of art. No field was left untouched and the author of this volume has taken pains to cover them all: from architecture (the Chinese Palace at Palermo) to interior decorative painting (the rooms frescoed by Tiepolo in Vicenza and the 'Chinese' rooms of Naples and Palermo), from ceramics and porcelain (the Capodimonte Porcelain Room) to cabinet making (Venetian lacquered furniture in particular, but also the Lacquer Room in Turin), to fabrics and all other decorative arts.
