Artistic Translations in the Early Modern Period 3105-AT-K
The course explores the significance of translations of artistic forms and motifs across the Early modern world. Until recently most scholars placed their efforts on identifying influences stimulating creation of visually similar art in different locations. Presently the term influence itself was subject to revision, followed by the rejection of its implied straightforward direction of any artistic connection. Instead, arguably, more useful term ‘translation’ had been introduced to define transregional artistic solutions and interactions.
Each class will focus on a different aspect of artistic translations:
1. Introduction: Defining Artistic Translations
2. Centre and Periphery
3. Artistic Geographies
4. Artistic Contacts
5. Transmission and Propagation
6. Lost in Translation? Translations of religious artefacts
7. Between the Netherlands and Italy. Artistic translation in painting.
8. Luso-African Ivories. Transporting materials.
9. Devotional Wooden Crucifixes and Transregional Formal Similarities
10. Interpreting Motifs and Forms for Specific Patrons
11. Between Drawing and Ceramics. Artistic translations in various media
12. Role of Prints in Disseminating Artistic Models
13. Material Translations
14. Artistic Gifts and Translations
15. Artistic Translations and the Agency of Things
