Art in early modern law : evolving procedures for heritage protection in 15th- to 18th-century Europe / Chiara Mannoni ; texts translated by Amedeo Ceresa Genet and Chiara Mannoni.
Art and law : the origins of concepts and procedures -- Laws and edicts of early modern European states.
Summary
"In the early modern centuries, several European states issued pioneering regulations to protect what they thought of as 'heritage' - that is, antiquities, monuments, and paintings considered important for their country's splendour. These early protocols have had a substantial impact on the development of legal and aesthetic approaches to heritage protection in recent times. In this volume, legislation is explored from both a legal and art-historical perspective"--Publisher's description.
