Contemporary biographies of Galilei emphasize, in several places,
that he was a masterful draughtsman. In fact, Galilei studied at
the art academy, which is where his friendship with Ludovico Cigoli
developed, who later became the official court artist. The book
focuses on this formative effect – it tracks Galilei’s trust in
the epistemological strength of drawings. It also looks at
Galilei’s activities in the world of art and his reflections on
art theory, ending with an appreciation of his fame; after all, he
was revered as a rebirth of Michelangelo. For the first time, this
publication collects all aspects of the appreciation of Galilei as
an artist, contemplating his art not only as another facet of his
activities, but as an essential element of his research.
