Transforming the Church Interior in Renaissance Florence : Screens and Choir Spaces, from the Middle Ages to Tridentine Reform

In Renaissance Florence, churches were once internally divided by monumental screens, impressive artistic structures which separated the laity from the clergy. This book reconstructs the social and visual effects of these layouts and examines the religious and aesthetic motivations behind the elimination of screens in the Counter-Reformation.
