| Abstract
|
:
|
Today we consider painting, sculpture, and architecture the major arts of the renaissance. To contemporaries, however, it was more often finely wrought goldwork, embellished armor, spledid tapestries and embroideries, and gems that were much prized. This book traces what we now consider "minor arts" from their status as markers of elevated position and wealth in the renaissance to their present reputation as objects unworthy of serious consideration as arts.
