InĀ Courtly Mediators, Leah R. Clark investigates the exchange
of a range of materials and objects, including metalware, ceramic
drug jars, Chinese porcelain, and aromatics, across the early
modern Italian, Mamluk, and Ottoman courts. She provides a new
narrative that places Aragonese Naples at the center of an
international courtly culture, where cosmopolitanism and the
transcultural flourished, and in which artists, ambassadors, and
luxury goods actively participated. By articulatingĀ how and
why transcultural objects were exchanged, displayed, copied, and
framed, she provides a new methodological framework that transforms
our understanding of the Italian Renaissance court. Clark's volume
provides a multi-sensorial, innovative reading of Italian
Renaissance art. It demonstrates that the early modern culture of
collecting was more than a humanistic enterprise associated with
the European roots of the Renaissance. Rather, it was sustained by
interactions with global material cultures from the Islamic world
and beyond.
