Table of ContentsReviewsThis collection of studies provides a rich sense of the visual culture of fourteenth and fifteenth century Europe, and is particularly innovative in the geographical range of artistic centres it introduces. Rather than focussing on the 'famous' art history of Florence and Rome, the contributors throw new light on key artistic programmes and issues of artistic production and influence in lesser known towns, cities and regions, including Rimini, Pistoia, the Maremma in Southern Tuscany, Orvieto and the Trentino-Alto Adige. Coverage is not confined to Italy. The contributions on Burgundian tapestries, the architecture of Munich and its environs, and on imagery relating to royal entries in fifteenth century France are equally successful in enriching our sense of artistic production in the period. The two essays at the beginning and end of the volume, on Petrarch and Giotto and on the humanism of Erwin Panofsky and the Renaissance, usefully bracket the collection as a whole in terms of its wider intellectual and interpretative histories. The essays make an important contribution to our understanding of a key aspect of the late medieval or early renaissance period, demonstrating the integral role that visual imagery played in the formation of social and cultural identity. - Tom Nichols, University of Aberdeen Visible Exports / Imports: New Research on Medieval and Renaissance European Art and Culture is a diverse collection of essays that fruitfully explore key aspects of both the production and reception of medieval and renaissance visual culture from stylistic, iconographical and political perspectives. Through a series of engaging case studies, the authors examine artistic practices as varied as humanist portraiture, civic architectural decoration and medieval devotional iconography to offer fresh perspectives on artistic traditions and exchanges in both Western and Eastern Europe. It is a volume that will be valuable to all students and specialists concerned with the functions and meanings of works of art and performance during one of the longest and most dynamic periods of their creation. - Debra Higgs Strickland, University of Glasgow Author InformationEmily Jane Anderson is currently completing her doctoral research at the University of Glasgow on Vitale da Bologna and His Followers: The Eastern European Vitaleschi .
