Several artifacts discovered or put into new circulation in the year 1492 reveal the preoccupation of European antiquarians and artists with the eastern origins of their civilization. In the following decades\, however\, the prevailing orientation of Italian art fell away\, as the centrality of Rome was newly asserted
