While the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance are usually
associated with Italy’s historical seats of power, some of the
era’s most characteristic works are to be found in places other than
Florence, Rome, and Venice. They are the product of the diversity of
regions and cultures that makes up the country. In Endless Periphery,
Stephen J. Campbell examines a range of iconic works in order to
unlock a rich series of local references in Renaissance art that
include regional rulers, patron saints, and miracles, demonstrating,
for example, that the works of Titian spoke to beholders differently
in Naples, Brescia, or Milan than in his native Venice. More than a
series of regional microhistories, Endless Periphery tracks the
geographic mobility of Italian Renaissance art and artists, revealing
a series of exchanges between artists and their patrons, as well as
the power dynamics that fueled these exchanges. A counter history of
one of the greatest epochs of art production, this richly illustrated
book will bring new insight to our understanding of classic works of
Italian art.
