| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The interior spaces of many churches in Florence were renovated during a period starting in the 1560’s. The most representative and well-known of these renovations were those carried out by Giorgio Vasari at Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce. A principle aim guiding this undertaking was to provide a unified and coherent appearance in the interior of the church, involving the removal of a large part of existing decoration that had come to be considered out of fashion and disorderly. Nevertheless, despite extensive renovation, some of the art objects from the Medieval and Early-Renaissance time were preserved and even incorporated into the post-renovation displays in these churches. This research identifies various factors which led to the appraisal of these art objects, and highlights the importance of an emerging historiography of art during this period, as represented by Vasari’s own Lives of the Artists.
