Hybridity in Early Modern Art, Paperback / softback Book

Hybridity in Early Modern Art Paperback / softback

Edited by Ashley Elston, Madeline Rislow

Part of the Visual Culture in Early Modernity series

Paperback / softback

Description

This collection of essays explores hybridity in early modern art through two primary lenses: hybrid media and hybrid time.

The varied approaches in the volume to theories of hybridity reflect the increased presence in art historical scholarship of interdisciplinary frameworks that extend art historical inquiry beyond the single time or material.

The essays engage with what happens when an object is considered beyond the point of origin or as a legend of information, the implications of the juxtaposition of disparate media, how the meaning of an object alters over time, and what the conspicuous use of out-of-date styles means for the patron, artist, and/or viewer.

Essays examine both canonical and lesser-known works produced by European artists in Italy, northern Europe, and colonial Peru, ca. 1400–1600. The book will be of interest to art historians, visual culture historians, and early modern historians.
