studiolo
studiolo (Italian: ‘little study’). A term applied in
Renaissance Italy to an intimate domestic chamber used by rulers and other distinguished people as a place of retreat. Such rooms became a badge of culture and they were often specially designed or hung with pictures commissioned specifically for them. The most famous surviving example is that of Federico da
Montefeltro in his palace in Urbino. Isabella d'
Este obtained paintings from some of the leading painters of the day for her
studiolo in Mantua.
