Abstract
"This volume honors the vital impact of David Freedberg, Pierre Matisse Professor of the History of Art and Director of The Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America at Columbia University, on the field of art history and several cognate areas of research. Essays by leading specialists on early modern northern European and Italian art and history, prints and print culture, iconoclasm and responses to images, connoisseurship, and the history of collecting, testify to Freedberg's wide area of influence and a substantial intellectual legacy in the making."--Publisher's website.
