Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Renaissance art history is traditionally identified with Italian centers of production, and Florence in particular. Instead, this book explores the dynamic interchange between European artistic centers and artists and the trade in works of art. It also considers the impact of differing locations on art and artists and some of the economic, political, and cultural factors crucial to the emergence of an artistic center.
During c.1420-1520, no city or court could succeed in isolation and so artists operated within a network of interests and local and international identities. The case studies presented in this book portray the Renaissance as an exciting international phenomenon, with cities and courts inextricably bound together in a web of economic and political interests.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 291-320) and index.

CHOICE Review

The second of three volumes in the "Renaissance Art Reconsidered" series recasts the Italian Renaissance in more social historical terms (see also Making Renaissance Art, ed. by Kim W. Woods, CH, Aug'07, 44-6637). This collection of essays by seven authors perks up familiar themes by adding information about travel times, the biographical details of patrons, and considerations about initial reception. An entire chapter is devoted to tapestry production; the often too casually dismissed Byzantine tradition is also highlighted. "Equal time for non-Florentine art," it might have been called, or "Globalization, Renaissance-style." However, the main theme is not the diffusion of Florentine style but alternatives to it, including the obvious examples of Sienese and Venetian art. The illustrations, overwhelmingly in color, include unusual items; the text is highly readable, though it presumes some familiarity with the notion of Renaissance that it sets out to augment. A map of trade routes and a thorough index are provided. The chronological range extends within and slightly beyond the 15th century. It is hard to be both comprehensive and revisionary, coherent and wide-ranging; what is accomplished here is more along the lines of valuable inoculation against facile generalizations. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers; lower-division undergraduates through professionals. P. Emison University of New Hampshire
