Industry Reviews
A great achievement. This book re-establishes links between classical revival and Renaissance material culture, and demonstrates for the first time the close relationship between the 'magnificence' of Renaissance palaces and the 'splendour' of their interiors... Teachers, students, and the general reader will find this book a pleasure to read. Alison Brown, Royal Holloway, University of London
This is a timely publication that reflects the burgeoning scholarly interest in Italian Renaissance domestic buildings - inside as well as out. The book's great novelty lies in its focus on the Florentine palace as an integrated whole and establishes an interesting relationship between these buildings' interiors and exteriors. Patricia Allerston, National Galleries of Scotland
... hitherto unpublished inventories, private documents and surviving domestic objects are used to focus on the Florentine palace as in integrated whole and show the interiors as a series of splendid spaces where virtuous expenditure was displayed. The Oxford Times
'Maybe the most outstanding characteristic of Lindow's excellent study is the meticulous logic of his book's structure... While 'magnificence' has been a widely debated concept, Lindow makes a truly original - and necessary - contribution to the field by moving his discussion 'beyond the palace facade'... strong claims to become essential reading. The Art Book
The book as a whole comes across as a profound reappraisal of a largely neglected area of Florentine Renaissance life, and a valuable corrective to the more superficial view of the city's great buildings as being merely some kind of wilful self-indulgence. The Art Newspaper
'Teachers, students, and general readers will find this book useful for its synthesis of the theoretical underpinnings of magnificent architecture and splendid interior decoration in Renaissance Florence... the book will be welcome in courses on Renaissance arch
