Traditionally viewed simply as the context for the extraordinary artistic creativity of the Renaissance, patronage has more recently been examined by historians as a comprehensive system of patron-client structures which permeated society and social relations. The scattered research so far done on this broader concept of patronage is drawn together and extended in this new volume, derived from a conference held in Melbourne as part of 'Renaissance Year' in 1983. The essays, by art historians as well as historians, explore our new understanding of Renaissance Italy as a 'patronage society', and consider its implications for the study of art patronage and patron-client structures wherever they occur.

Review
'important book ... this richly informative and wide-ranging book offers an excellent introduction to the present study of patronage in renaissance Italy and to the problems that study has to face. It also bears witness to the high level of renaissance scholarship in Australia.' Nicolai Rubinstein, The Burlington Magazine
'the only book for students that discusses methodology as well as topics, and for this reason alone it is invaluable' Alison Brown, Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, The Burlington Magazine
'These studies offer many valuable insights into the behaviour of Renaissance patrons both towards art and within society.' Clare Robertson, University of Leicester. Art History
