Currie, Elizabeth (Fashion designer)

Inside the Renaissance house / Elizabeth Currie.

London : V & A, 2006.

96 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 22 cm

"This book takes us on a tour of the Italian Renaissance house, room by room, conveying just what it was like to live there. As an outward symbol of the family's status, wealth and erudition, much care and trouble went into its arrangement and furnishing, and the art of household management. The Renaissance house was one in which the secular gradually assumed as much importance as the sacred, as this book illustrates. It conveys through contemporary illustrations and a lively text the realities of living in Florence and Venice during the Renaissance."--Jacket.
