Printed artworks were often ephemeral, but in the early modern
period, exchanges between print and other media were common,
setting off chain reactions of images and objects that endured.
Paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, musical or scientific
instruments, and armor exerted their own influence on prints, while
prints provided artists with paper veneers, templates, and sources
of adaptable images. This interdisciplinary collection unites
scholars from different fields of art history who elucidate the
agency of prints on more traditionally valued media, and
vice-versa. Contributors explore how, after translations across
traditional geographic, temporal, and material boundaries, original
'meanings' may be lost, reconfigured, or subverted in surprising
ways, whether a Netherlandish motif graces a cabinet in Italy or
the print itself, colored or copied, is integrated into the
calligraphic scheme of a Persian royal album. These intertwined
relationships yield unexpected yet surprisingly prevalent modes of
perception. Andrea Mantegna's 1470/1500 Battle of the Sea Gods, an
engraving that emulates the properties of sculpted relief, was in
fact reborn as relief sculpture, and fabrics based on print designs
were reapplied to prints, returning color and tactility to the very
objects from which the derived. Together, the essays in this volume
witness a methodological shift in the study of print, from
examining the printed image as an index of an absent invention in
another medium - a painting, sculpture, or drawing - to considering
its role as a generative, active agent driving modes of invention
and perception far beyond the locus of its production.
