From the Back Cover

In these 12 essays by a distinguished group of art historians, Art and Technology in Early Modern Europe explores the relationship between artistic and technological advances from the Renaissance to the Industrial Revolution. Together the essays provide a broad definition of technology for this period and address the influence of technological shifts on the history of early modern art. The essays span c.1420 to 1820, a time period bursting with visual technological developments between the advent of the printed image and that of the photographically produced image. The contributors discuss a wide range of early modern artists' tools, instruments, skills, crafts, devices, machines, materials, and techniques and their historical applications. From mirrors and modeling to telescopic views and telegraphic images, these essays highlight a frequently overlooked aspect of research within art history that yields substantial insights into the analysis of the making and viewing of art.
