Polychrome Art in the Early Modern World : 1200–1800 Hardback

Edited by Ilenia (University of Central Florida, USA) Colon Mendoza, Lisandra (Winston-Salem State University, USA.) Estevez

Part of the Visual Culture in Early Modernity series

Hardback

Description

This book focuses on the techniques and materials of polychromy used in early modern Europe and the Americas from 1200 to 1800.

Taking a trans-cultural approach, the book studies the production of polychrome sculptures, panels, and altarpieces, as well as colored terracotta and painted representations of marble and stone.

The book includes chapters on treatises and contracts that reveal specific use of pigments, distribution of workshops, collaborations between specialized artists, and artistic programs centered on the use of color as an agent.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, art conservation, early modern history, sculpture, material culture, European studies, and transatlantic artistic interactions.
