Synopsis

Essay and catalog entries on 16th-century Italian prints from New England college collections, selected to show the range and quality of kinds of printed imagery during this pivotal period. Fully illustrated and accompanied by an extensive essay, an introduction to the fundamental subject of how mechanical reproduction has affected the history of art. It examines the Renaissance through its most distinctively modern and most consistently overlooked aspect, the printed and often collaborative image.
