Description

The Matter of Art: Materials, Practices, Cultural Logics, C.1250-1750 offers a fresh perspective on the history of art, science, and culture. This volume explores how materials carried deep meaning in the early modern period. By examining how nature was transformed into art objects, the text connects the study of painting, sculpture, and architecture to broader categories of the everyday and the exotic. Drawing on research from anthropology, material culture, and art history, this work examines how culture refined and produced objects. It provides a new approach to understanding the physical embodiment of material qualities and the cultural forces that shaped them. This book is an essential resource for scholars interested in the relationship between craftsmanship and the wider world between 1250 and 1750.
