Objects in frames: displaying foreign collectibles in Early Modern China and Europe


Door


Uittreksel

Anna Grasskamp investigates display practices of the sixteenth and seventeenth century in China and Europe providing an in-depth analysis of the processes through which foreign artifacts and natural objects were framed in early modern collections. While the first two chapters focus on the appropriation of artifacts through the examples of porcelain vessels and scientific instruments in metal mounts, the book's later chapters analyze the staging of foreign nature in Renaissance and Ming collecting through the case of coral.
