At the centre of this edited volume lies the productive exchange between diplomatic and artistic practices from the early modern period to the modern age. Adopting an international and interdisciplinary perspective, the volume explores the intricate interrelations that emerge between diplomacy as a political-legal as well as an aesthetic practice and the realms of literature and the arts.
