The various essays collected in Patronage and Dynasty taken together chart the ways this family laid claim to a kind of cultural and enlightened nobility as time went by, carving a niche for itself through patronage of the arts. The book offers a unique and thorough study of the patron-artist relationship as well as insight into how a notable family constituted its identity over time. -SirReadaLot.org Art historians look at the della Rovere family as a whole-from Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere to Francesco Maria II, last Duke of Urbino-as they faced distinct but not uncommon issues at any given time during the dynasty's two-century floriat. -Book News It is fascinating to see, through the various branches of one family, the breadth and diversity of the types of patronage undertaken.... As such, [the book] does its job well, engaging with current debates on a number of different levels and further extending our understanding of the complexities of Renaissance patronage. -Renaissance Quarterly Overall, the book offers a bright palette of historically painted individual art historical studies, which is indeed a many-sided (although in no ways exhaustively rendered) picture of the patronage of the della Rovere. -Monumenta Germaniae Historica
