Making Copies in Early Modern Times: Models and Copies in an Interdisciplinary Context

This book explores new approaches to the study of the complex relation between models and copies. Excellent studies dedicated to copies continue to be published, focusing mainly on works of art and techniques, but the research should be extended in directions that have remained virtually unexplored until now, considering new perspectives and contexts. This volume intends to push the boundaries of current research on copies, proposing new points of view and considering new relations between models and their reproductions.

Contributors include: R. Arnheim, E. Vandeweghe, F. Gallaire, B. Leshem, C. Naya, P. Alvarez, S. Suykens, S. Rose, D. Boerio, M. Rijks, M. Bellavitis, B. Anderson, Guthrie, E. Giffin, and S. Abplanalp.

Maddalena Bellavitis, Doctor Europaeus (2007) and past recipient of a Marie Curie Fellowship, divides her museum and academic career between the Center for Research and Restoration of the Museums of France and the Università degli Studi di Udine. She has numerous research interests, and her varied publications--a monograph, essays and articles--include an earlier volume on the topic of making copies.
