About the Item

Il Cavalier Giuseppe Cesari D'Arpino maestro del disegno.Catalogo ragionato dell'opera grafica by Marco Simone Bolzoni. Published by Bozzi, Roma, 2013. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket, signed and inscribed by the author with his business card attached. 456pp., 100 color, 350 b&w illus. Long neglected by scholarship, Giuseppe Cesari (1568-1640), better known as the Cavalier d'Arpino, was during his lifetime one of the most important artists of papal Rome. While a young adolescent at work on the Vatican projects of Gregory XIII his talent was recognised and his subsequent career was a succession of successes: Giuseppe Cesari was favoured by the Aldobrandini family as well as becoming first painter to the Pope and his cardinal nephew, Pietro. He became the protagonist of artistic events in the capital and the animator of Rome's cultural circles; his fame extended well beyond the walls of the papal city to reach as far as France. In 1629 he was called to Paris to decorate the sumptuous gallery of the Palais du Luxemburg that was later executed by Peter Paul Rubens. In 1600 he was honoured by the Pope who supported him Cavaliere di Cristo and thirty years later the French political authorities ennobled him with the titles of the Cross and of Saint Michael. After almost sixty years of uninterrupted activity Giuseppe Cesari died at Rome to the resounding sound of praise from art experts, collectors and academics: first among them all was Giovanni Baglione, his friend and biographer, who was to remember the painter in his Vite with a history full of admiration and rich in curious details about the artist's life. From an early age Giuseppe Cesari was a point of reference for many artists: he was the director of an imposing and highly productive studio and his activity played a leading role during a period spanning two centuries. He was the heir of the Renaissance tradition, and a spectator, and to some degree a precursor to a newly emerging age of art. In fact, several of the leading masters of the seventeenth century were formed in his studio, among them we might recall among others, Caravaggio, Andrea Sacchi and Pierfrancesco Mola. The paintings of Giuseppe Cesari were praised by his contemporaries as much, if not more than those of Annibale Caracci and Caravaggio. The importance of his oeuvre in the history of art has been re-established thanks to the many studies of Hewarth Röttgen, the curator of the first and most recent exhibition dedicated to the artist (held at the Palazzo Venezia, Rome, 1973). In 2002, thanks to his collaboration with Ugo Bozzi Editore, Röttgen published his important monographic study of the artist's paintings. Il Cavalier Giuseppe Cesari D'Arpino. The idea for the present book, which is entirely concerned with Cesari's work as a draughtsman, was from the 2002 publication. While the events of the painter's life are by now well known to scholars, the identity of his achievement as a graphic artist remains little explored. During the centuries in which the idea of Drawing triumphed as the 'Father of the Arts' the Cavalier d'Arpino generated works on paper of unexpected beauty and great quality revealing the brilliance of his art, his refinement of style and the exuberance of his invention. Many of the drawings presented in this book are published for the first time, some alongside unpublished paintings. Through the over three hundred beautiful drawings by Cavalier d'Arpino's mind and capable hand, the artist's creative progress will be unravelled, from the first idea (prima idea) to the finished project, thereby revealing all the steps leading to his finished paintings, brilliantly discussed by Hewarth Röttgen. The drawings of the Cavalier d'Arpino encapsulate the totality of the Roman tradition of the sixteenth century, from Raphael to Polidoro and from Perin del Vag. Italian text. Rare publication. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.

Michelangelo. The Drawings of a Genius, 1st Ed Exhibition Catalog

Located in valatie, NY

Michelangelo. The Drawings of a Genius. By Achim Gnann. Preface by Klaus Albrecht Schröder. Published by the Albertina, Vienna. This catalogue is published in conjunction with the exhibition "Michelangelo: The Drawings of a Genius", Albertina, Vienna; October 8, 2010 - January 9, 2011. 478th. Published by Hatje Cantz, Ostfildern, 2010. 1st Ed softcover exhibition catalog. Michelangelo's drawings endowed human physique with an expressive musculature that remains to be rivaled in its feeling for corporeal articulation. His drawings of male nudes in particular, fraught as they are with tempestuous longing, project both tension and pliancy, and a compelling sense of health in the exertions and torque of bodies. He was also readily able to bring contrary qualities of grace and swiftness to depictions of women and cherubim. With over 300 color plates and extensive contextualizing scholarship, Michelangelo: The Drawings of a Genius is the most complete treatment of his work ever published, and thus constitutes a publication of great importance. Masterpieces from the world's finest museums are gathered, from the early studies for the "Battle of Cascina" and the studies for the Sistine Chapel frescoes, to the drawings for the tomb of Julius II, the Medici tombs...
