Emblems in the Free Imperial City: Emblems, Empire, and Identity in Early Modern N?nberg (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004691599)

Civic virtues were central to early modern N?nberg's visual culture. These essays in this volume explore N?nberg as a location from which to study the intersection of art and power. The imperial city was awash in emblems, and they informed most aspects of everyday life. The intent of this collection is to focus new attention on the town hall emblems, while simultaneously expanding the purview of emblem studies, moving from strict iconological approaches to collaborations across methodologies and disciplines.
