Pittoresco : Marco Boschini, his critics, and their critiques of painterly brushwork in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italy

Sohm, Philip, 1951-1991
Book
This study traces the changing attitudes towards painterly brushwork. At the centre of this history of artistic taste stands the art dealer, critic and painter Boschini, who wrote a defence of Venetian painting in 1660, "La Carta del Navegar Pittoresco Sic" (The Map of Painterly Navigation).
