Summary/Abstract: This text discusses relations between the Balkans and the Renaissance world and argues the case the question: Did the Balkans have a Renaissance? Answering yes, this paper calls for a new, changed optic, and an updated methodological approach in viewing the known facts. It presents just a few of many examples from the Balkans, mostly surviving in elements of visual culture, and examines them in the context of the cross-cultural and trans-cultural interactions, connectivity, migrations and social networks, and (self)fashioning of identities in the early modern world.
