Dear Arlisans,

I thought some of you may wish to know about my radio interview with Yvonne Elet, Associate Professor of Art here at Vassar College, about her new book from CUP: Architectural Invention in Renaissance Rome: Artists, Humanists, and the Planning of Raphael's Villa Madama. The book bores into Renaissance  planning and building processes in which poets and other humanists make a contribution, along with artists and architects, to the conceptualization and formation of architectural monuments. The quote from CUP on the website sums the book up nicely as a polymathic investigation into a polymathic artist (Raphael): http://library-cafe.org.  

There are also a handful of recent interviews of Renaissance scholars about art books further down on the page, including, relatedly, Arielle Saiber's recent book Measured Words: Computation and Writing in Renaissance Italy (Toronto UP, 2017), Meredith Gill's Angels and the Order of Heaven in Medieval and Renaissance Italy (Cambridge UP, 2014), and Glory Kury's When Giorgione Died: A Rebuildunsroman in Two Volumes (Periscope 2016).

Thank you.

Cheers,

Thomas
