- This 75k-word book is an interdisciplinary study of the relationship between images and the institutional care for abandoned children in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italy. The first monograph to consider the visual culture of foundling hospitals in Renaissance Italy, it is the product of ten years of research. The book draws on a wide range of hard-to-access primary sources, including the archives of hospitals in eight Italian cities, and analyses (and catalogues) a large number of both well-known and obscure works of art and architecture.
