Table of ContentsReviews“Alessandra Russo fully restores the centrality of the plural notion of antiquity to the age of the first global interactions. Her reading of a range of writings by humanists, explorers, and missionaries subverts traditional accounts of the Renaissance and reveals how the material encounter with cultures and societies around the world led Europeans to theorize art as universal and redefine the human condition on this basis.” —Giuseppe Marcocci, University of Oxford “Alessandra Russo’s indispensable book excavates an early modern moment when the skill and exquisite beauty manifest in art objects from around the globe served as an argument for an ethics of universal humanity. Without losing sight of the violence of European colonialism, Russo mobilizes perceptive close readings of aesthetic encounters to reveal a countertradition that has much to teach us today. This deeply researched and eloquent undertaking promises to reorient fundamentally the history of the European Renaissance and of early modern art.” —Rebecca Zorach,coauthor of Gold: Nature and Culture “Alessandra Russo fully restores the centrality of the plural notion of antiquity to the age of the first global interactions.
