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.
