This book explores for the first time the genesis and early development of this important genre as it took place in Italy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Joanna Woods-Marsden examines a series of self-portraits in Renaissance Italy and their relation to the social status of art and artists. She argues that these self-images represented the aspirations of their creators to change the status of art and thereby their own social standing."--BOOK JACKET.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 704.942 Wo Transit Add Copy to MyList
