Description

Discover how Renaissance rulers used painted maps to project power and knowledge across distant territories in this groundbreaking study from Cambridge University Press. The Mapping of Power in Renaissance Italy bridges art history with the histories of science, cartography, and geography to examine surviving Italian painted maps and their role in Renaissance society. Explore why rulers commissioned large-scale painted cartographic cycles despite knowing they would soon become obsolete, and how these visual representations communicated incomplete geographic knowledge to the public during an era of active exploration. This scholarly work provides deep insight into the intellectual and social contexts surrounding Renaissance cartography, revealing the complex relationship between artistic representation, political authority, and the pursuit of geographic understanding in Renaissance Italy.

Key Features

The Mapping of Power examines Italian painted maps within their art historical and scientific contexts, offering interdisciplinary analysis of Renaissance cartography and political authority.

Cambridge University Press presents a detailed study of how painted cartographic cycles functioned as tools of power and communication in Renaissance society.

This book explores the paradox of commissioning large-scale painted maps that would soon be outdated, uncovering the intellectual motivations behind Renaissance cartographic commissions.

The work bridges disciplines to analyse how incomplete geographic knowledge was visualised and presented to the public during the age of exploration.
