Early modern views of nature and the earth upended the depiction of
land. Landscape emerged as a site of artistic exploration at a time
when environments and ecologies were reshaped and transformed. This
volume historicizes the contingency of an ever-changing elemental
world, reframing and reimagining landscape as a mediating space in
the interplay between the natural and the artificial, the real and
the imaginary, the internal and the external. The lens of the
"unruly" reveals the latent landscapes that undergirded their
conception, the elemental resources that resurfaced from the bowels
of the earth, the staged topographies that unsettled the boundaries
between nature and technology, and the fragile ecologies that
undermined the status quo of human environs. Landscape and Earth in
Early Modernity: Picturing Unruly Nature argues for an art history
attentive to the vicissitudes of circumstance and attributes the
regrounding of representation during a transitional age to the
unquiet landscape.
