By integrating political history, the history of ideas, and cultural history, Brown provides fresh insight into a number of the most significant issues in Renaissance history and culture. This multidisciplinary study combines an overlooked period of crisis in Italy that brought down three powerful dynasties, the revolution that gave rise to the new political realism of authors like Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and Francesco Vettori, and finally the transition from the civic culture of the early Renaissance to the courtly or princely culture of the Cinquecento. Brown offers us a distinctive and contextualized perspective on the patronage, culture, and politics of Renaissance Italy while anchoring larger trends within the lived experience of Florence's most famous ruling family by focusing on Piero's entire life and colorful personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 524g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 229 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108746571\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AlisonBrown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44614406668538,"sku":"9781108746571","price":26.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1696610615437_book.jpg?v=1696767760","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/piero-di-lorenzo-de-medici-and-the-crisis-of-renaissance-italy-9781108746571","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
