What is Renaissance Siena: Art In Context (Sixteenth Century Essays & Studies, 71) about?

The Art Of Renaissance Siena Is Usually Viewed In The Light Of Developments And Accomplishments Achieved Elsewhere, But Sienese Artists Were Part Of A Dynamic Dialogue That Was Shaped By Their City's Internal Political Turmoil, Diplomatic Relationships With Its Neighbors, Social Hierarchies, And Struggle For Self-definition. These Essays Lead Scholars In A New And Exciting Direction In The Study Of The Art Of Renaissance Siena, Exploring The Cultural Dynamics Of The City And Its Art In A Specifically Sienese Context. This Volume Shapes A New Understanding Of Sienese Culture In The Early Modern Period And Defines The Questions Scholars Will Continue To Ask For Years To Come. What Emerges Is A Picture Of Renaissance Siena As A City Focused On Meeting The Challenges Of The Time While Formulating Changes To Shape Its Future. Central To These Changes Are The City's Efforts To Fashion A Civic Identity Through The Visual Arts.--jacket. Renaissance Siena, The State Of Research / A.
