Jacopo Bellini's Book of Drawings in the Louvre
Angebote / Angebote:
The RF 1475-1556 album in the Louvre is regarded as a very important corpus of drawings from the early Renaissance. Norberto Gramaccini shows that the traditional attribution to the Venetian painter Jacopo Bellini and the interpretation of the contents contingent on it have to be subjected to a revision. Based on new findings, the book of drawings actually belonged to Bellini's son-in-law Andrea Mantegna, and his pupil, the Paduan painter Francesco Squarcione, was responsible for creating them. The topics of the drawings-anatomy, perspective, archeology, mythology, contemporary chronicles, and animals-were part of the teaching program of an art academy established by Squarcione, which provided crucial impulses for the status of artists in the modern era and the dissemination of the idea of academies.
