Santi Gucci Fiorentino, Artist and Entrepreneur in Early Modern Poland
The original research in this book analyzes the artistic activity of Santi Gucci (1533– c.1600), a Florentine sculptor active in Poland in the second half of the sixteenth century, and his workshop. Chapters examine the organization of the artistic workshop (sculpting and masonry) and the model of the artist’s functioning as an entrepreneur in Renaissance Poland, using Santi Gucci’s activity as an example. Gucci shaped the image of Polish sculpture in the sixteenth century for more than 50 years, even though his work has not yet been fully examined. The author sets Gucci’s emigration within the context of the cultural exchanges between Italy and Poland that contributed to the development of the Polish Renaissance. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, architectural history and economic history.
Toward a Geography of Art
Art history traditionally classifies works of art by country as well as period, but often political borders and cultural boundaries are highly complex and fluid. Questions of identity, policy, and exchange make it difficult to determine the "place" of art, and often the art itself results from these conflicts of geography and culture. Addressing an important approach to art history, Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann's book offers essays that focus on the intricacies of accounting for the geographical dimension of art history during the early modern period in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Toward a Geography of Art presents a historical overview of these complexities, debates contemporary concerns, a...

Giammaria Mosca Called Padovano
Author of statues in the major churches of Padua and Venice, Giammaria Mosca was among the leading sculptors in northern Italy during the second and third decades of the sixteenth century. In 1529 Mosca was summoned by the King of Poland to erect his tomb in Cracow. From 1533 until the artist's death in 1574, documents at regular intervals record important commissions to Mosca throughout Poland from the Polish royal family, as well as from prominent members of the nobility and ecclesiastical hierarchy. Many of Mosca's inscribed and documented monuments survive in their original site and state and testify to the sculptor's key role in the diffusion in Eastern Europe of Italian Renaissance ide...

Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów
Od początku XVI wieku Polska wchodzi w okres swojego największego rozkwitu i razem z Litwą – jako Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów – staje się mocarstwem w tej części Europy. Potencjał militarny i inicjatywy w gospodarce stanowią o sile państwa, z którym liczą się największe potęgi kontynentu z Habsburgami na czele. Kraj tętni życiem, powstają nowe miasta, wielu cudzoziemców osiedla się w Polsce, kwitnie kultura artystyczna, a Polacy są obecni na zachodnioeuropejskich uniwersytetach. Pojawia się też rodzimy styl w kulturze i obyczajach – sarmatyzm – będący oryginalną kompilacją tradycji Wschodu i Zachodu. Niestety, po wielu wyniszczających wojnach dochodzi na...
