Book Description
Pietro Testa was much admired by his contemporaries for his exquisite draughtsmanship and has been called the most original and the only truly Italian etcher of his time. This book is both a catalogue raisonné of the artist's prints and a survey of the range and development of his drawing style. Elizabeth Cropper's introduction examines Testa's influences and critical reputation since the 17th century, and the three supporting essays place his art in specific contemporary theoretical, intellectual and economic contexts.

Pages : 140
Book Description
Pontormo's Halberdier has long been controversial. How did scholars come to identify the sitter as Duke Cosimo de' Medici and why is this open to doubt? Who was Francesco Guardi? What was the siege of Florence, and could Pontormo have made this compelling portrait during that time of deprivation and political tumult? In a fascinating piece of historical detective work, Elizabeth Cropper investigates these questions and uncovers new evidence for interpretation. She also analyzes the portrait's relationship to other works by Pontormo, explores the importance for Pontormo of Donatello, Michelangelo, and Andrea del Sarto, and looks into Bronzino's connection with the portrait.

Mariette and the Science of the Connoisseur in Eighteenth-Century Europe
Author: Kristel SmentekPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351559206
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
Celebrated connoisseur, drawings collector, print dealer, book publisher and authority on the art of antiquity, Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694-1774) was a pivotal figure in the eighteenth-century European art world. Focusing on the trajectory of Mariette?s career, this book examines the material practices and social networks through which connoisseurs forged the idea of art as an object of empirical and historical analysis. Drawing on significant unpublished archival material as well as on histories of science, publishing, collecting and display, this book shows how Mariette and his colleagues? practices of classification and interpretation of the graphic arts gave rise to new conceptions of artistic authorship and to a history of art that transcended the biographies of individual artists. To follow Mariette?s career through the eighteenth century is to see that art was consolidated as a specialized category of intellectual inquiry-and that style emerged as its structuring analytic device-in the overlapping spaces of the collector?s cabinet, the connoisseur?s portfolio and the dealer?s shop.
