The first ARTis ON issue is dedicated to the subject of Decorative Arts. This is a wide study area with an extended chronological scope that has achieved growing emphasis in recent decades within History of Art. The analysis of taste of the patrons, artistic techniques, diversity of elected materials or market criteria that dictate their circulation, are just some of the study perspectives involved in the fascinating world of Decorative Arts.
The articles gathered in this issue make known relevant case studies, from porcelain to jewelry, mural painting, azulejo, carving, organ-making, statuary, stucco and trim metal works, which testify the extent of the subject, its’ understanding within the concept of total work of art and the broad interdisciplinary sense that it implies, in a chronological spectrum between the eighteenth century and the contemporary era.
