Routledge Artistic Circulation Early Modern Spain Italy - Essays Visual Culture

This scholarly collection examines the dynamic cultural exchange between Italy and Spain during the early modern period through essays by leading academics in the field. The work explores how artistic ideas, iconographies and styles transmitted across these regions via two primary channels: human movement including trips and resettlements, and physical objects such as books, paintings, sculptures and prints. Visual and textual evidence reveals the convergence of cultural ideals through triumphal ephemera, treatises on painting, the evolving social status of artists, and the formation and display of collections. Part of the Visual Culture in Early Modernity series, this volume provides comprehensive insight into the rich intersections that shaped artistic development across the Mediterranean during this transformative historical period.
