Gardens and Academies in Early Modern Italy and Beyond
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-51753-0 (ISBN)
This collection of essays explores the role of gardens in early modern academies and, conversely, the place of what might be called 'academic culture' in early modern gardens. While studies of botanical gardens have often focused on their association with a research institution, the intention of this book is deliberately broader, seeking to explore the interactions and intersections between the built environment of the early modern garden and the more or less organised social and intellectual life it supported. As such, the book contributes to the intersection of several fields of research: garden history, literary history, architectural history and socio-political history, and considers the garden as a site of performance that requires an intermedial approach.
Denis Ribouillault is Professor of Early Modern Art History at the Université de Montréal, Canada. His research focuses on Renaissance villa culture, cultural landscapes and gardens, and the intersection of art, science, and literature. He has received numerous fellowships and has been a Visiting Professor at the Università Ca'Foscari (2018), the Università del Salento (2021), the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich (Panofsky Professorship, 2024), and the Université de Bordeaux (Chaire Montaigne, 2024). His most recent books include Jardiner / Gardening (Intermediality 35 (2020)) and The Villa Barbaro at Maser. Science, Philosophy and the Family in Venetian Renaissance Art (2023).
