Contents:
The allure of Rome / Carol M. Richardson -- Netherlandish networks / Kim W. Woods -- Tapestries as a transnational artistic commodity / Elizabeth Cleland -- Siena and its Renaissance / Diana Norman -- The painter Angelos and post-Byzantine art / Angeliki Lymberopoulou -- Art in fifteenth-century Venice : 'an aesthetic of diversity' / Paul Wood -- Bramante and the sources of the Roman high Renaissance / Tim Benton.
Summary: Renaissance art history is traditionally identified with Italian centers of production, and Florence in particular. Instead, this book explores the dynamic interchange between European artistic centers and artists and the trade in works of art. It also considers the impact of differing locations on art and artists and some of the economic, political, and cultural factors crucial to the emergence of an artistic center. During c.1420-1520, no city or court could succeed in isolation and so artists operated within a network of interests and local and international identities. The case studies presented in this book portray the Renaissance as an exciting international phenomenon, with cities and courts inextricably bound together in a web of economic and political interests.
