Légendaire connaisseur de la peinture italienne, Bernard Berenson (1865-1959) a bâti son autorité et sa fortune sur le seul pouvoir de son œil, capable de reconnaître entre mille une copie d'un original ou de reconstituer l'œuvre de tel maître italien oublié. Entre 1894 et 1907, Berenson réécrit rien moins que l'histoire de la peinture de la Renaissance, dans quatre petits livres abordant la Péninsule par régions. Leur succès fut tel qu'en 1930 on les publia en un volume unique, Les peintres italiens de la Renaissance. Magistralement traduit par l'historien de l'art Louis Gillet, cet ouvrage restitue la vision très passionnelle de Berenson, pour lequel la Renaissance est le miroir de notre propre jeunesse et possède l'éclat de « ces années où, à nous-mêmes et à autrui, nous apparûmes pleins de promesses ».

The first publication to consider the relationship between these two major artists of the High Renaissance Through most of Michelangelo?s working life, one of his closest colleagues was the great Venetian painter Sebastiano del Piombo (1485Ư?1541). The two men met in Rome in 1511, shortly after Sebastiano?s arrival from his native city, and while Michelangelo was based in Florence from 1516 to 1534 Sebastiano remained one of his Roman confidants, painting several works after partial designs by him. This landmark publication is about the artists? extraordinary professional alliance and the friendship that underpinned it. It situates them in the dramatic context of their time, tracing their evolving artistic relationship through more than three decades of creative dialogue. Matthias Wivel and other leading scholars investigate Michelangelo?s profound influence on Sebastiano and the Venetian artist?s highly original interpretation of his friend?s formal and thematic concerns. The lavishly illustrated text examines their shared preoccupation with the depiction of death and resurrection, primarily in the life of Christ, through a close analysis of drawings, paintings, and sculpture. The book also brings the austerely beautiful work of Sebastiano to a new audience, offering a reappraisal of this less famous but most accomplished artist.

In Literature and Artistic Practice in the Sixteenth Century Angela Cerasuolo, art historian and restorer, tracks the technical processes of painting through the cross-analysis of literary texts and works of art. Having traced the critical fortunes of the texts of the authors-Leonardo, Vasari, Armenini, Borghini, Lomazzo-she compares the information on drawing and painting, analysing the specific terminology, and identifying the materials and methods. Central themes of the theoretical debate-'disegno', 'invenzione', the contrast between 'prestezza' and 'diligenza', the 'paragone'-are examined in the light of their relationship with the techniques. On the basis of scientific studies on the technical execution of paintings, works from the Capodimonte Museum, Naples are analysed as case studies.
