The essays contained in this volume address issues surrounding the
use, dissemination, and reception of copies and even deliberate
forgeries within the history of art, focusing on paintings, prints
and sculptures created and sold from the sixteenth century to the
eighteenth century. The essays also probe contemporary
sensibilities about the art of "inganno," or deception, sometimes
even viewed as pleasurable deception, in the making and viewing of
copies among artists and their audiences. Through specific case
studies, the contributors explore the fine line between imitations
and fakes, distinctions between the practice of copying as a
discipline within the workshop and the willful misrepresentation of
such copies on the part of artists, agents and experts in the
evolving art market. They attempt to address the notion of when a
copy becomes a fake and when thoughtful repetition of a model,
emulation through imitation, becomes deliberate fraud. The essays
also document developing taxonomies of professionals within the
growth of the "business of art" from the workshops of the
Renaissance to the salons and galleries of eighteenth-century
London. As a whole, this volume opens up a new branch of art
historical research concerned with the history and purpose of the
copy.
