In this special issue you will find discussion of several episodes in the relationship between the fine and the decorative arts, ranging from the Renaissance to the late nineteenth century. Despite this broad chronological sweep there is much in common among our authors' findings. Above all, and perhaps contrary to readers' expectations, each essay contests the notion that fine and decorative were truly opposed in their period.

Grand Tours progressing as far as Italy were unusual among the Scandinavian nobility. Therefore, the visits to Italy of Frederik IV of Denmark had a disproportionately large impact. J. Svenningsen describes the effect of the visits on the taste of a group of courtiers traveling with the Danish prince and traces their ensuing patronage of Italian art. F. Benuzzi studies the less-known patronage of Venetian sculpture North of the Alps, with patrons including Peter the Great, the Earl of Carlisle and the Swedish diplomat and collector Count Carl Gustaf Tessin.

Scholarly literature has much privileged Georges Seurat's oeuvre to "explain" neo-impressionism, not least its technique, the point (pointillism) or divided facture (divisionism). While Seurat's production is indisputably key to the history of neo-impressionism, critically analyzing the movement beyond the celebrity of Seurat – its developments after the artist's untimely early death in 1891, its diverse practitioners, and the origins of that very narrative – opens up fresh interpretations with new insights.

These papers derive from a colloquium held at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich (ZI). The occasion was a new acquisition for the ZI's library: a volume of the first complete edition of Sebastiano Serlio's "Books on Architecture" (Venice 1551) annotated by Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548-1616). The copy is one of the very few surviving annotated books from Scamozzi, who is known for his broad erudition. It is a first-rate art-historical source that has remained unknown until now and provides direct insight into Scamozzi's working methods.
