Venice in Blue: The Use of Carta Azzurra in the Artist's Studio and in the Printer's Workshop, Ca. 1500-1550

Alexa McCarthy

This volume is the first of its kind to focus solely on the material of handmade blue paper in Italy, shedding new light on its significance and transcultural impact. Bringing together perspectives from art and book historians, paper conservators and paper historians, this publication explores the proliferation of the use of blue paper for drawings, prints, and printed books in Veneto and beyond during the first half of the 16th century.
