It explores the first two centuries of a major technical change that occurred between 1300 and 1600, the shift from panel to canvas as the dominant paint support. The essays investigate a wide geographical range, from Tuscany and the Veneto to Paris and Flanders. They explore both silk and linen supports, royal and popular art, maps, banners, Lenten cloths, and altarpieces. They discuss such issues as how cloth paintings were stored and displayed and cultural exchanges between Italy and the Netherlands. In short, this book, although based in technical studies, will appeal to a broad range of scholars. [...] This book goes beyond earlier publications. It shifts the focus from the Netherlands to Italy. Its introduction offers a new explanation for why cloth paintings began to replace embroidery and tapestry: because patrons gained a new appreciation of painters' skills. It also redefines ephemeral works, such as banners, which have traditionally been too easily dismissed. [...] These carefully researched essays deepen our knowledge of paintings on cloth and also perfectly illustrate the usefulness of technical studies.
