Abstract (en)

Considers the role of painted narratives of the myth of Eurydice on Italian furniture of the 15th and 16th cs. in the reorientation of Renaissance upper-class family life from communal to private patterns of sociability. Focuses on the way narrative painting dealt with the contemporary role of women.
