Description

Explore the connection between art and geography in The Mapping of Power in Renaissance Italy. This scholarly work from Cambridge University Press examines how painted cartographic cycles functioned within the social and intellectual landscapes of the Renaissance. By bridging the disciplines of art history with the histories of science, cartography, and geography, this book investigates how maps of distant lands communicated information to the public during an era of ongoing exploration. It provides a deep look into why Renaissance rulers commissioned large-scale painted maps, even when the information contained within them was subject to change as new territories were discovered. This text is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of geographic knowledge and the visual representation of power. It offers a unique perspective on how incomplete knowledge of the world was used to establish authority through art and spatial representation.
