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 examines 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. The essays explore the preindustrial papermaking process and the materiality of blue paper, the relationship between its use for drawings in Tintoretto’s workshop and coeval texts on artistic practice, its production and use in the Marche region, the intersections of drawings and etchings on blue paper, the editions of Serlio’s third and fourth books on architecture printed on blue paper, as well as new perspectives on the practice of printing books on this peculiar support.
