We intend to examine the artistic, cultural and economic values associated with visual culture in a period when relations between the visual arts and humanistic studies were undergoing rapid change: the Renaissance in European art, c 1300-1600, both north and south of the Alps. Papers might discuss the values placed upon different forms of artistic production, the change in value of the artist's work, the relationship between the patrons and the works they commissioned, and the critical values of and within Renaissance art. We invite an interdisciplinary approach to the Renaissance as a cultural phenomenon which embraced the visual, literary and other arts.
