Parution : Bryan C. Keene (dir.), « New Horizons in Trecento Italian Art », Turnhout, Brepols, 2021
The fourteenth century in Italy, the age of Giotto, Dante, and Boccaccio, widely known as the trecento, was a pivotal moment in art history and in European culture. The studies in this volume present new approaches to art in this important but often neglected period of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Scholars at various stages in their careers discuss a wide range of topics including architecture, cultural exchange, materiality, politics, patronage, and devotion, contributing to a new understanding of how art was made and experienced in this nodal century. These papers were originally presented at the Andrew Ladis Trecento Conference held at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston in November of 2018.
Bryan C. Keene is associate curator of manuscripts at The J. Paul Getty Museum, and editor of Toward a Global Middle Ages: Encountering the World through Illuminated Manuscripts (Getty Publications, 2019) and contributing author to Florence at the Dawn of the Renaissance: Painting and Illumination, 1300-1350 (Getty Publications, 2013). Karl Whittington is associate professor of history of art at The Ohio State University, and the author of Body Worlds: Opicinus de Canistris and the Medieval Cartographic Imagination, published by the Pontifical Institute in Toronto in 2014.
