Is Art on the Move in Renaissance Italy worth buying in Iceland?
This compelling study captures a pivotal moment in Renaissance Italy around 1500-1506, a period of intense artistic creativity shaped by movement, exchange, and experimentation before it was recognised as the High Renaissance.Drawing on years of research, David Landau traces the constant circulation of artists, artworks, workshops, and ideas across cities, courts, monasteries, and borders. Through an original analysis of artistic networks and modes of transmission, he reveals how styles, motifs, and innovations spread with remarkable speed, driven by portable media such as drawings, prints, gems, plaques, and medals, created for diplomatic, religious, social, and personal purposes.Using contemporary documents--including letters, commissions, travel accounts, and shipping records--the book vividly reconstructs the practical realities of transporting valuable objects across Italy's rivers, roads, mountains, and coasts amid political instability and plague. It brings to life both the ambitions and anxieties of itinerant artists, from celebrated figures like Michelangelo to lesser-known practitioners, alongside key patrons such as Isabella d'Este and Albrecht Durer during his time in Venice.The result is a richly detailed and authoritative portrait of artists, patrons, and artistic exchange at a decisive moment in Renaissance art, conveyed with the immediacy of a contemporary chronicle.
