Reviews

The literature assessing the importance of women in visual culture has tended to find the quintessential woman patron in Isabella d'Este. This stimulating and informative collection of essays, each a detailed case study, opens up the subject with a broad chronological and geographical span. Intriguing and relatively unknown women patrons are introduced into the literature.... Well-known women patrons are treated from new points of view, and even Isabella herself gets a new slant, seen here as fueled in her artistic enterprises by rivalry with her husband.... An important contribution to the literature, certain to have heavy use in the classroom. -Choice In fourteen substantial essays Reiss, Wilkins, and their collaborators offer rich new evidence for the activity of secular women in the production and reception of Italian Renaissance art, calling into serious question traditional stereotypes of female patronage and reconceptualizing art patronage itself. -Renaissance Quarterly
