Summary:"The invention of the public in the picture--the depiction of nameless bystanders, beholders, and onlookers--marks an important change in the ways artists addressed the beholder of the artworks since the thirteenth century. This shift toward the representation of these figures speaks to a significant transformation of the relationship between images and their audiences. The public in the picture acts as mediator between times, persons, and contents. The contributions in this volume describe this moment from a diachronic and transcultural perspective. Each of them focuses on a specific group of works revealing a new moment in this history. They explore the cultural contexts of the political and religious public, and relate the rise of the public in the picture to the rise of perspectival representation (Panofsky's space-box and Kemp's Chronotopos)"--Back cover
