My age was 33 years.\" So speaks Margaret van Eyck from the frame of her portrait. This painted inscription honors its maker Jan van Eyck, even as it blurs the distinction between living subject and painted double. \u003ci\u003eFrame Work\u003c\/i\u003e, an in-depth study of paintings, sculpture, and manuscript illumination in their varied social settings, argues that frames and framing devices are central to how Renaissance images operate. In a period of rapid cultural change, framing began to secure the very notion of an independent \"artwork,\" and reframings could regulate the meaning attached to works of art--a process that continues in the present day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Highlighting innovations in framing introduced by figures such as Donatello, Giovanni Bellini, and Jean Fouquet, this original book shows how the inventive character of Renaissance frames responds to broader sociopolitical and religious change. The frame emerges as a site of beauty, display, and persuasion, and as a mechanism of control. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300238843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300238846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Alison Wright","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076008866047,"sku":"9780300238846","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2f2303c-86a3-4d8f-9b8c-9d0232629ab1.jpg?v=1685462665","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frame-work-alison-wright-9780300238846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
