Promotional Information

Dana E. Katz reveals how Italian Renaissance painting became part of a policy of tolerance that deflected violence from the real world onto a symbolic world. While the rulers upheld toleration legislation governing Christian-Jewish relations, they simultaneously supported artistic commissions that perpetuated violence against Jews.

Dana E. Katz teaches art history and humanities at Reed College.

Reviews

"A rigorous, well-written, and readable book on the sensitive topic of Christian anti-Judaism and its manifestation and transmission in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italian art. The Jew in the Art of the Italian Renaissance will stand as the definitive study of its topic."--Stephen Campbell, The Johns Hopkins University
