This academic work, Renovation And Counter-Reformation: Vasari And Duke Cosimo In Sta Maria Novella And Sta Croce 1565-1577, meticulously chronicles a pivotal period in Florentine art and religious history. It uncovers the intricate relationship between Giorgio Vasari's architectural and artistic interventions and Duke Cosimo I de' Medici's political and spiritual agenda during the Counter-Reformation. The text presents a detailed analysis of the renovations undertaken in two significant Florentine churches, Sta Maria Novella and Sta Croce, illustrating how these projects served both aesthetic and ideological purposes. Hall argues compellingly for the profound impact of these transformations on the visual culture and religious practices of the era. This scholarly volume offers an authoritative perspective on the intersection of art, power, and faith in sixteenth-century Italy.
