{"product_id":"lorenzo-demedici-collector-of-antiquities-laurie-fusco-9780521452458","title":"Lorenzo de'Medici, Collector of Antiquities","description":"Lorenzo de'Medici was a passionate collector of objects from antiquity and the post-antiquity period as well as an important patron of the arts in fifteenth-century Florence. His activities as a collector are documented in a group of 173 previously unknown letters included in this volume. As revealed in these letters, Lorenzo had a preference for small objects: coins, hardstone vases, and gems. This book reveals how such objects were studied, displayed, selected and valued by de'Medici and other collectors during this period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurie Fusco,Gino Corti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521452457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521452458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.70w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 257\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 472","brand":"Laurie Fusco","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448829849855,"sku":"9780521452458","price":284.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_abde9145-3e99-442c-babe-522592d177a9.jpg?v=1777260781","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lorenzo-demedici-collector-of-antiquities-laurie-fusco-9780521452458","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
