Description
Cultural contacts between Portugal and Italy, the two most innovative European areas in the 15th and 16th centuries are rarely systematically explored. Both were to influence the whole world for the next five hundred years: Portugal by its voyages of discovery and establishment of a world empire, and Italy by its reworking of the classical tradition and the rebirth of its arts. This book maps the cultural interconnections, exchanges, and influences between the two, their individual chronologies and priorities, similarities and differences. The volume's three emphases are originality, interdisciplinarity (it covers art history, history, language and literature) and internationality. The text allows a reassessment of exportability of the Italian Renaissance, and of Portuguese artistic hybridity.
