Contents:
Frontmatter -- Acknowledgements -- Table of Contents -- Illustration List -- Introduction: From Life -- 1. Caravaggio’s Physiognomy -- 2. Jacques Callot, Drawing Dal Vivo in 1620: Commerce in Florence, Piracy on the High Seas -- 3. Jacques Callot’s Capricci di varie figure (1617): The Allusive Imagery of the Everyday, Represented ‘from Life’ and Emulating a Text -- 4. The Motif of the Shooting Man, and Capturing the Urban Scene: Claude Lorrain and the Bamboccianti -- 5. The absent eyewitness: the Revolt of Masaniello and depiction dal vivo in the middle of the seventeenth century -- Conclusion -- Index
Summary: In drawing or painting from live models and real landscapes, more was at stake for artists in early modern Italy than achieving greater naturalism. To work with the model in front of your eyes, and to retain their identity in the finished work of art, had an impact on concepts of artistry and authorship, the authority of the image as a source of knowledge, the boundaries between repetition and invention, and even the relation of images to words. This book focuses on artists who worked in Italy, both native Italians and migrants from northern Europe. The practice of depicting from life became a self-conscious departure from the norms of Italian arts. In the context of court culture in Rome and Florence, works by artists ranging from Caravaggio to Claude Lorrain, Pieter van Laer to Jacques Callot, reveal new aspects of their artistic practice and its critical implications.
