- This is a book of 120,000 words that uses the art of fifteenth-century Florence to interrogate the relationship between art and violence. It draws attention to violence as a fundamental aspect of both representation and experience in the period, while seeking to question the aestheticisation and idealisation of brutality which has been overlooked in prior scholarship. The study is, by nature, interdisciplinary. The first phase of research was undertaken between 2004-08, three years of which were spent in Italy for primary research. New research, and substantial reworkings, were undertaken between 2012-2016.
