Journal Article
MATTER IN THE MATERIAL RENAISSANCE
2013
Overview
Rublack concentrates on leather. Its rich sensory and visual appeal underlines the contemporary importance of materials other than pigment and marble. As organic, \"decorative\" stuff, most Renaissance leatherwork hasn't survived or been conserved. The demand for leather developed significantly in this period, as did skills in processing it during the sixteenth century. Focusing on a man who lived in this newly leather-hungry European world, she explores meanings of leather for Hans Fugger of Augsburg, a German merchant, patrician and Swabian territorial lord. She determines how Fugger used shoes in his costume and leather wallpaper in his domestic display to reconstruct how he presented as well as experienced the properties of leather as matter within a precise political, socio-economic and cultural context.
