Brepols 2020. Paperback 208 pages Size:216 x 280 mm Illustrations:100 col. Language: English. ISBN 9782503583990. Summary It is clear that Renaissance artists and their patrons were interested in Ravenna's buildings and their decorations both before Vasari's negative pronouncements and after them. Contemporary European travelers and diarists have left descriptions of the city's heritage by then in ruinous condition. What happens if we reinsert this corpus of Ravenna's treasures and their multiple imbrications into our histories of Renaissance art How can our narratives change if we trace and study an almost forgotten albeit rich and articulated series of intersections between Ravenna's splendors and ambitious works of art and architecture from early modern Italy We have ignored a series of visual engagements and imaginative plays with Ravenna's forms materials and iconographies folding the past into the present and the present into the past. These instances of creative imitations and recreations can best be recovered if we focus on the Renaissance production and humanists' accounts of the city's treasures that is works in various media and size to map out an extended dimension of early modern visual culture.
