Spectacle & Image in Renaissance Europe / Spectacle & Image Dans L'Europe de la Renaissance: Selected Papers of the Xxxiind Conference at the Centre D

This collection of nineteen essays focuses on the ways in which, in England, France and Spain, the Renaissance made propagandistic, or aesthetic, use of the image in various spectacles. Under surface differences between genres, what emerges is a surprising similarity in tactics and response, which invites further questioning about image elaboration and its reception.
