Francisco de Hollanda completed Da pintura antigua in 1548, eight
years after the young Portuguese humanist, painter, and architect
had spent two years in Italy. Book I is the first Portuguese
treatise on the theory and practice of painting. In contrast to
Italian texts on artistic theory, which define painting as the
imitation of nature, Hollanda’s treatise, influenced by
Neoplatonism, develops a theory of the painter as an original
creator guided by divine inspiration. Book II, “Dialogues in
Rome,” is a record of three conversations with Michelangelo,
Vittoria Colonna, and members of their circle and a fourth with
Giulio Clovio. It is the most informative and intimate intellectual
portrait of Michelangelo before the biographies by Vasari and
Condivi.
