Book review "The Land between Two Seas: Art on the Move in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea 1300–1700" edited by Alina Payne

The historical time frame encompasses an extremely wide period from 1300 to 1700, which includes two major art movements in the West, the Renaissance and the Baroque. The essays by Darka Bilić (“Daniel Rodriga's Lazaretto in Split and Ottoman Caravanserais in Bosnia: The Transcultural Transfer of an Architectonic Model”) and by Joško Belamarić (“The Villa in Renaissance Dubrovnik: ‘Where Art Has Tamed Wild Nature’”) raise questions about architecture by analyzing closely migration and architectural models in Dalmatia. The sources investigated in this chapter enlighten readers about the mobility of population, the circulation of ideas and Renaissance models in architecture, but also of the artistic language in the northern Black Sea shores, that indicates how the Danube regions was not isolated from the cultures of the Mediterranean shores.
