The book opens with an examination of global practices in zoological collecting, and cultural uses of animals. The Medici's activities as collectors of exotic species, the menageries they established and their deployment of animals in the ceremonial life of the court and in their art are examined in relation to this wider global perspective. The book seeks to nuance the myth promoted by the Medici themselves that theirs was the most successful princely seraglio in early modern Europe"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Table of the Medici dynasty -- Introduction and global perspective of animal collecting and menageries -- Zoological collecting: practices of exchange and processes of procurement -- Menageries and aviaries in Medicean Florence -- The sport of the chase: "exotic hunts" -- Spectacles of slaughter and courtly pageants: exotic beasts as symbols of power and colonial ambitions -- Animal imagery in the service of political imaging -- Medici patronage and early modern naturalism: tensions between scientific and decorative naturalism -- The Ambrogiana series of animal paintings -- Conclusion. 600 30 $a Medici, House of. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85083062 600 37 $a Medici, House of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00212417 650 0 $a Wild animal collecting $z Florence $z Florence $x History. 650 0 $a Animals and civilization $z Florence. $z Florence. 650 0 $a Animals $x History. $z Florence $z Florence $x History. 650 7 $a Animals and civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809565 650 7 $a Animals $x Symbolic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809551 650 7 $a Wild animal collecting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01175055 651 7 $a Italy $z Florence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204699 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Groom, Angelica, author. $t Exotic animals in the art and culture of the Medici court in Florence $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2018] $z 9789004371132 $w (DLC) 2018042974 830 0 $a Rulers & elites ; $v v. 16. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011147983 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210015106.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=417EBCF80CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
