The Traveling Artist in the Italian Renaissance
This important and innovative book examines artists' mobility as a critical aspect of Italian Renaissance art. It is well known that many eminent artists such as Cimabue, Giotto, Donatello, Lotto, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian traveled. This book is the first to consider the sixteenth-century literary descriptions of their journeys in relation to the larger Renaissance discourse concerning mobility, geography, the act of creation, and selfhood. David Young Kim carefully explores relevant themes in Giorgio Vasari's monumental Lives of the Artists, in particular how style was understood to register an artist's encounter with place. Through new readings of critical ideas, long-standing regional prejudices, and entire biographies, The Traveling Artist in the Italian Renaissance provides a groundbreaking case for the significance of mobility in the interpretation of art and the wider discipline of art history.

It offers insight into the possible connections between governmental policies on both sides of the Atlantic, popular interest, student demand, and individual scholars' commitment to this academic pursuit. These essays also contribute towards a better understanding of the complex ways in which European historians of the United States have navigated the different--and often conflicting--demands, constraints, and opportunities that arise from their official job descriptions and various institutional affiliations.
