Seeing Across Cultures in the Early Modern World
Book (italiano):
Historians of art and architecture consider the new ways of looking and seeing, and new ways of explaining visual experience, that accompanied the expansion of the European world to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. They look at perspective and mimesis, blindness and memory, colonial visualities, and seeing across time. The topics include perspective and its discontents or St. Lucy's eyes, competing and complementary visions of the court of the Great Mogor in India, memory and visuality in early modern West Africa, voicing Moctezuma II's image in Chapultepec Park in Mexico City, and understanding visuality.
