"It is well known that the advent of the printed image in the Renaissance transformed the content, appearance, and function of art in the following centuries. As rapidly producible multiples, prints could broadcast visual motifs, compositions, subjects, and styles with unprecedented speed and to an ever-expanding audience. The print, more than any other medium, created an artistic canon that went beyond geographic and medial boundaries. The two art forms most directly and dramatically influenced by prints in the Renaissance were ceramics and bronze plaquettes. Brightly painted maiolica and minutely crafted bronze reliefs are among the most beautiful and intriguing objects produced in the period. Sharing Images: Renaissance Prints into Maiolica and Bronze documents the National Gallery of Art exhibition that brings prints, istoriato maiolica, and plaquettes into the same space, addressing the impact prints had on the decorative arts but also the modalities of their reception, highlighting the remarkably creative engagement artists and craftsmen had with their models."--Provided by publisher.

Riassunto

This book is the first full-length study into the multifarious influence of Renaissance prints on maiolica and bronze. Focusing on designs by major artists such as Andrea Mantegna, Antonio del Pollaiuolo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Parmigianino, and Albrecht Dürer, the book tells the story of how printed images were transmitted, transformed, and translated onto ceramics and small bronze reliefs, creating a shared visual canon across artistic media and geographical boundaries. Prized by princes and popes, and collected by scholars and diplomats, brightly painted maiolica and minutely crafted bronze reliefs are among the most beautiful and intriguing objects produced in the period. Although seemingly unrelated and usually exhibited in isolation, ceramics and bronzes are in fact bound by the complex network of connections they share with prints and illustrated books. Sharing Images provides a comprehensive introduction to different aspects of the phenomenon, from the role of 15th-century prints and the rediscovery of ancient art to the importance of illustrated books and the artistic exchanges between Italy and northern Europe.
