In early modern Europe, discernment emerged as a key notion at the
intersection of various domains in both learned and artisanal
cultures. Often used synonymously with judgment, ingenuity, and
taste, discernment defined the ability to perceive and understand
the secrets of nature and art, and became explicitly connected with
a kind of knowledge available only to experts in the respective
fields. With contributions by historians of art and historians of
science, and with geographic coverage focusing on the Low Countries
and their multiple connections to different parts of the world,
this volume reframes recent scholarship on what the editors term
'cultures of knowledge and discernment' in the early modern period.
The collection is innovative in its focus on investigating types of
knowledge linked to what was then called the 'science' (scientia)
of art, to artistic expertise and connoisseurship, and to 'secrets
of art and nature.'
