Many famous Italian Renaissance artworks were made to celebrate love and marriage. They were the pinnacles of a tradition, dating from the early Renaissance, of commemorating betrothal, marriage, and the birth of a child by commissioning extraordinary objects or exchanging them as gifts. This important volume is the first to examine the entire range of works to which Renaissance rituals of love and marriage gave rise: Some 140 works of art, dating from about 1400 to 1600, are discussed by a distinguished group of scholars and are reproduced in full colour. These range from maiolica, glassware, and jewelery to birth trays, musical instruments, and nuptial portraits.
