  • Product Description

    Including Annibale Carracci, Caravaggio, Rubens, Van Dyck, and Poussin, this first complete translation of the biographies of fifteen artists by Giovan Pietro Bellori will be a fundamental source of seventeenth-century Italian art and artistic theory. With detailed descriptions of extant and lost works of art, the importance of Bellori's Lives of the Artists lies in the scrupulous documentation of the artists (many of whom he knew personally) which includes detailed descriptions of their works as well as his exposition of the classic theory of art.
