The publication of artists’ biographies across the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries changed forever the relation between artists and
their posterity, between innovation and the emulation of past art, as well
as relations between individual works of art and the collected oeuvre of
an artist. In common with printed texts, the publishing of printed images
changed the trajectory of artistic careers and shaped new, international
publics for the arts. This session invites studies of any aspect of the
world of printed texts and printed images in the early modern period.
Papers that address the concept of print culture are particularly welcome,
as are studies that cut across the boundaries that divide the study of
prints from the study of cultural history and visual culture as a whole.
