Synopsis
Renaissance Italy is often characterized as a place of unusual tolerance and privilege toward Jews. Unlike England, France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal, the princely courts of early modern Italy, particularly Urbino, Mantua, and Ferrara, offered economic and social prosperity to Jews. When anti-Jewish hostilities created civic tumult in this region, secular authorities promptly contained the violence. Yet this written record tells only one part of the story. Pictures tell another. In The Jew in the Art of the Italian Renaissance , Dana E. Katz reveals how Renaissance paintings and sculpture became part of a policy of tolerance that deflected violence to a symbolic status. While rulers upheld toleration legislation governing Christian-Jewish relations, they simultaneously supported artistic commissions that perpetuated violence against Jews. The economic benefits Jewish toleration supplied never outweighed the animosity toward Jews' participation in the Christian community. Katz examines how particular forms of visual representation were used to punish Jews symbolically for alleged crimes against Christianity, including host desecration, deicide, and ritual murder. The production of such imagery testifies to the distinctive Jewry policies employed in the northern Italian princedoms, republican Florence, and imperial Trent. The book provides new insights into famous masterworks by Andrea Mantegna, Paolo Uccello, and others, placing these paintings within a larger discourse that incorporates noncanonical, provincial works of art., Dana E.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseReceived my order and the strings in the package weren't the right brand. Contacted the seller and the issue was quickly resolved.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem as described and fine value. Packaging was secure. Arrived safely. It was so good to hear Mike again after all these years! I had this on an 8 track many years ago; and it is so good to have it again!
- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book is a good selection of ME's songs. Unfortunately it got damaged in the mail as it was posted in an ordinary paper envelope with no protection. The seller was very fair and refunded. I just wish she had packed it better as a mint copy got badly bent out of shape. So poor marks for packaging but top marks for customer service.
