Introduction: A “Renaissance” in Early Modern Augsburg

View through CrossRef
This book examines the central role of print to local antiquarian pursuits and generation of a style all’antica in early sixteenth-century Augsburg, Germany. The introduction presents the topic, research questions, and dominant frameworks for the study of Renaissance, or early modern, objects. It argues for a rejection of art historical narratives that promote Augsburg as the first German center to adopt Renaissance art and architecture but reduce the story to one of imitation spurred on by German artists’ and patrons’ supposedly revelatory visits to the Italian peninsula.
