Adelina Modesti employs the Grand Duchess as a shining example of pan-European matronage and presents a groundbreaking matrilineal model of patronage during the early modern era. In this model, women not only serve as intermediaries but also take on the role of architects of public taste and the carriers of cultural capital. This book aims to be the first comprehensive monographic exploration of this significant cultural figure, making it a valuable resource for scholars engaged in art history, gender studies, Renaissance studies, and seventeenth-century Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 620g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 174 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032337432\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AdelinaModesti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105146040570,"sku":"9781032337432","price":44.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_ac947a2b-17e2-4137-9147-f115045262b7.jpg?v=1657916570","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/womens-patronage-and-gendered-cultural-networks-in-early-modern-europe-vittoria-della-rovere-grand-duchess-of-tuscany-9781032337432","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
