The essays in this volume explore the relationship between music
and art in the Italian Renaissance across the long sixteenth
century, considering an era when music-making was both a subject of
Italian painting and a central metaphor in treatises on the arts.
Beginning in the fifteenth century, transformations emerge in the
depiction of music within visual arts, the conceptualization of
music in ethics and poetics, and in the practice of musical
harmony. This book brings together contributors from across music
and art history to consider the trajectories of these changes and
the connections between them, both in theory and in the practices
of everyday life. In sixteen chapters, the contributors blend
iconographic analysis with a wider range of approaches, investigate
the discourse surrounding the arts, and draw on both social art
history and the material turn in Renaissance studies. They address
not only paintings and sculpture, but a wide range of visual media
and domestic objects, from instruments to tableware, to reveal a
rich, varied, and sometimes tumultuous exchange among musical and
visual arts and ideas. Enriching our understanding of the subtle
intersections between visual, material, and musical arts across the
long Renaissance, this book offers new insights for scholars of
music, art, and cultural history.
