Many of the objects exhibited in museums today once graced the interior of a Roman Baroque palazzo or a setting inspired by one. In fact, the very convention of a paintings gallery-- the mainstay of museums--traces its ancestry to prototypes in the palaces of Rome. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Inside Roman palaces, the display of art was calibrated to an increasingly accentuated dynamism of social and official life, activated by the moving bodies and the attention of residents and visitors. Display unfolded in space in a purposeful narrative that reflected rank, honor, privilege, and intimacy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With a contextual approach that encompasses the full range of media, from textiles to stucco, this study traces the influential emerging concept of a unified interior. It argues that art history--even the emergence of the modern category of fine art--was worked out as much in the rooms of palaces as in the printed pages of Vasari and other early writers on art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gail Feigenbaum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606062980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606062982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Getty Research Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 8.90w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2015 pg. 961","brand":"Gail Feigenbaum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078492352767,"sku":"9781606062982","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9fe0f981-9ede-4613-8ed4-eb93c3704447.jpg?v=1685475826","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/display-of-art-in-the-gail-feigenbaum-9781606062982","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
