Exploring new lands and experiencing new sensations is an inherent part of the human experience, and this collection offers a captivating and adventurous exploration of the theme of travel from an art-historical perspective. The topics covered range from the Grand Tour and colonialism to the ancient travels of Hadrian and Georgia O'Keeffe's journey to the Andes; from Vasari's Neoplatonic voyages to the photographic documentation of nineteenth-century Japan. The scholars assembled in this volume examine both fictional accounts of travel and factual or embellished records of voyages. The essays span a wide range of spatial and temporal contexts, yet all connect to how art has captured the essence of travel through various media across different eras, as depicted and described by writers, artists, and illustrators. This volume's scope is both chronologically and conceptually expansive, effectively capturing the universal nature of the travel theme to human experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 174 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032339146\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103870087418,"sku":"9781032339146","price":43.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_bd6131b7-0365-4419-b9ae-68998527dfe9.jpg?v=1657916805","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/artistic-responses-to-travel-in-the-western-tradition-9781032339146","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
