 | Displaying Art in the Early Modern Period: Exhibiting Practices and Exhibition Spaces Subjects: Museum and Heritage Studies; Arts; Area Studies; Humanities; European Studies; Heritage Management & Conservation; Art & Visual Culture; History; Museum Studies; History of Art; Visual Culture; European History; Early Modern History 1500-1750; From aesthetic promenades in noble palaces to the performativity of religious apparatus, this edited volume reconsiders some of the events, habits and spaces that contributed to defining exhibition practices and shaping the imagery of the exhibition space in the early modern period. The contributors encourage connections between art history, exhibition studies, and architectural history, and explore micro-histories and long-term changes in order to open new perspectives for studying these pioneering exhibition-making practices. Aiming to understand what spaces have done and still do to art, the book explores an underdeveloped area in the field that has yet to trace its interdisciplinary nature and understand its place in the history of art. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies, exhibition history, and architectural history. Pamela Bianchi is an art historian and a professor in history of art and design at the ESAD in Toulon. Since 2013, Pamela has been an affi liated researcher of the lab AI- AC at the Paris 8 University. |
