Description: Firenze: Olschki, 2014. 24cm., pbk,. 384pp., 48 plates. Italian-English text. Summary: This book collects the papers delivered by major foreign and Italian scholars at the first International Conference organized by CURAM in Urbino. It addresses art collecting in its multifarious historical aspects – from the late Middle Ages through to the nineteenth century – and typology (collections of paintings, as well as of furniture or books). It analyses the inception and consolidation of new collectable genres (e.g. tapestries, reliquaries, sketches as a special branch of drawing) and on the functions of art collecting (as means of social elevation and recognition, of investment or commerce, of cultural exchange between East and West, as well as tools for work and education, as far as artists and art historians are concerned). The sources and methods used for its study are explored, together with the mutual conditioning of historical context, historical reconstruction as well as reputation of a given artist, type of object, class and chronology of works.
