Breaking new ground, it explores local concepts of antiquity in a period that has been defined as a uniform ‘Renaissance’. Contributors take a novel approach to the revival of the antique in different parts of Italy, as well as examining other, less widely studied antiquarian traditions in France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Britain and Poland. They consider how real or fictive ruins, inscriptions and literary works were used to demonstrate a particular idea of local origins, to rewrite history or to vaunt civic pride. In doing so, they tackle such varied subjects as municipal antiquities collections in Southern Italy and France, the antiquarian response to the pagan, Christian and Islamic past on the Iberian Peninsula, and Netherlandish interest in megalithic ruins thought to be traces of a prehistoric race of Giants.Kathleen Christian is Senior Lecturer in Art History at The Open University. Bianca de Divitiis is Associate Professor in the History of Modern Art at the University of Naples Federico II.Table des matièresKathleen Christian and Bianca de Divitiis, Introduction1  Richard Schofield, A Local Renaissance: Florentine Quattrocento Palaces and all’antica Styles2  Francesco Benelli, The Arch of Trajan in Ancona and Civic Identity in the Italian Quattrocento from Ciriaco d’Ancona to the Death of Matthias Corvinus3  Kathleen Christian, Roma Caput Mundi: Rome’s Local Antiquities as Symbol and Source4  Bianca de Divitiis, A Local Sense of the Past: Spolia, Re-Use, and all’antica Building in Southern Italy, 1400–16005  Oren Margolis, The Gaulish Past of Milan and the French Invasion of Italy6  William Stenhouse, Reusing and Redisplaying Antiquities in Early Modern France7  Fernando Marías, Local Antiquities in Spain: From Tarragona to Córdoba8  Katrina Olds, Local Antiquaries and the Expansive Sense of the Past: A Case Study from Counter-Reformation Spain9  João Figueiredo, Luís de Camões’s The Lusiads and the Paradoxes of Expansion10  Edward Wouk, Semini and His Progeny: The Construction of Antwerp’s Antique Past11  Krista De Jonge, Resurrecting Belgica Romana: Peter Ernst von Mansfeld’s Garden of Antiquities in Clausen, Luxemburg, 1563–9012  Konrad Ottenheym, On Romans, Batavians, and Giants: The Quest for the True Origin of Architecture in the Dutch Republic13  Barbara Arciszewska, The Role of Ancient Remains in the Sarmatian Culture of Early Modern Poland14  Jenna Schultz, Inventing England: English Identity and the Scottish ‘Other’, 1586–1625Plus d’informations sur le site de l’éditeur.
