Reihe: Brill’s Studies on Art, Art History, and Intellectual History

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.

Über Autor(innen)

Maddalena Bellavitis, Doctor Europaeus (2007, after 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. Her research interests are extremely varied, and among her various publications - which include a monograph, essays and articles - she previously edited a volume on copies, which then prompted the reflection on the topic to which the present volume is dedicated.
