Portraits of women increased substantially during this century. They formed part of a material and a visual culture borne out of the rapid rise of an oligarchy from entrepreneurial activities that was especially advanced in the urbanised territories of Italy and Flanders. For this reason, the portraits in this book are by Netherlandish and Italian painters. They are simultaneously illustrative of the emancipation of the genre from its medieval idiom, and of the responses to the matrix of patriarchy, under which society was organised. Patriarchy is an androcentric structure that places women in a paradoxical situation of legal and social disenfranchisement on the account of purported psychophysical inadequacy, whilst making them the catalysts, through arranged marriages, for the success of the spheres of power, which are controlled by men. Thus, these portraits are also a window into women's lives in this structure. This book is the first systematic study of their sign-system and of the feminine experience of seeing and being seen, at the intersection of disciplines that include art history, anthropology, legal history, philosophy. The surprising results suggest new interpretations of form and function in female portraiture, women's active role in the imaging process and the early instances of a pro-women ideology." -- $c Publisher's website 650 0 $a Women $z Italy $x Portraits. 650 0 $a Women $z Netherlands $x Portraits. 650 0 $a Women in art $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Women $z Italy $x Social conditions $y 15th century. 650 0 $a Women $z Netherlands $x Social conditions $y 15th century. 650 0 $a Painting, Italian $y 15th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Painting, Dutch $y 15th century $x Themes, motives. 650 7 $a Painting, Dutch $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050789 650 7 $a Painting, Italian $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050923 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 $a Women in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177826 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 651 7 $a Netherlands. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204034 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Portraits. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423831 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9789048544899 830 0 $a Visual and material culture, 1300-1700. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022600.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72BC3944DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
