In the cities of the Renaissance, display of luxury dress was a marker of status. Florentines decked out their palaces and streets with textiles for public rituals. But cloths are also the stuff of fantasy: throughout the book, the author moves from the material to the metaphorical. Curtains and veils, swaddling and shrouds, evoke associations with birth and death. The central chapters address the sculpture of Ghiberti and Donatello, focusing on how they deployed drapery to dramatic effect. In the final chapters the focus shifts to the paintings of Bellini, Lotto, and Titian, where drapery both clothes the figures and composes the picture. In the work of Titian, the veiled presence of the body is absorbed within the materials of oil-paint on canvas: medium and subject become one. 650 0 $a Drapery in art. 650 0 $a Veils in art. 650 0 $a Art, Italian $y 14th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Art, Italian $y 15th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Art, Italian $y 16th century $x Themes, motives. 650 7 $a Art, Italian $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816463 650 7 $a Drapery in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897676 650 7 $a Veils in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01165045 650 7 $a 21.85 costume and fashion. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077595408 $2 nbc 650 7 $a 20.70 European art. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077594983 $2 nbc 648 7 $a 1300-1599 $2 fast 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 880 4 $6 264-00 $c �2018 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120041731.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103020622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=962EBA480F2511E9BB56EF4997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
