Art and Music in the Early Modern Period

The relationship between music and painting in the Early Modern period forms the focus of this collection of essays by an international group of distinguished art historians and musicologists. Each writer takes a multidisciplinary approach to their topic as he/she explores the interface between music performance and painting, or between music and art theory. The essays here reflect a variety and range of approaches and offer methodologies which might usefully be employed in future research in this field.The volume is dedicated to the memory of Franca Trinchieri-Camiz, an art historian who worked extensively on topics related to art and music, and who participated in some of the conference panels from which many of these essays originate.
