Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“Illustrates a vibrant and fascinating history of the appropriation of paper in medieval and early
modern visual arts with unique examples and a clear understanding on how the technology of paper changed artistic practices across the continents.”—Orietta Da Rold, The Library

“Beautifully argued and illustrated, wide-ranging, and fast-paced, this engaging book prompts us to reconsider paper as a valuable, surprisingly eloquent commodity.”—Eileen Reeves, Princeton University

“This book is highly original, and Fowler’s scholarship is exemplary. It orients the study of Renaissance drawings and artistic practice in a new direction, away from concerns of connoisseurship and authenticity to broader cultural issues.”—Jean Cadogan, Trinity College
