This companion explores the global Renaissance through object-based case studies of artistic production from Africa, Asia, America, and Europe in the early modern period.
Content and themes
An international group of authors adopts an art historical approach, with emphasis on the analysis of form, meaning, and function. Special attention is paid to intercultural exchange and adaptation. This book deliberately emphasizes regions other than Europe and thus forms a critical overview of the literature and the state of the field. Main themes include:
- workshops and migrations of artists
- objects, technologies, and diplomatic gifts
- imperial ideologies, ethnicity, and indigenous cultures
- sacred spaces and image worship
- questions about 'the Renaissance' and 'the global'
Target audience and use
This book is a valuable resource for researchers and students and is particularly appealing in art history, visual culture, material culture, and Renaissance studies. The material is suitable for academic purposes and self-study.
