The Jew in the Art of the Italian Renaissance (Jewish Culture and Contexts)

by Dana E . Katz (Author)

Synopsis

Dana E. Katz reveals how Italian Renaissance painting became part of a policy of tolerance that deflected violence from the real world onto a symbolic world. While the rulers upheld toleration legislation governing Christian-Jewish relations, they simultaneously supported artistic commissions that perpetuated violence against Jews.
