"[T]he publication of Anne Summerscale's handsomely produced English translation, MALVASIA'S 'LIFE OF THE CARRACCI' [is] particularly welcome. The substantial introduction and detailed notes are by way of a bonus, but it is the rendition of the text that really matters....[It] strikes a very satisfactory balance between the conflicting requirements of fidelity to the complex, even clotted syntax of the original on one hand, and the need to produce a readable modern version of Malvasia's prose on the other."

Book Description: Pennsylvania State University Press. Hardback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, Malvasia's Life of the Carracci: Commentary and Translation, Anne Summerscale, Anne Summerscale, Ludovico, Agostino and Annibale Carracci played leading roles in bringing about the changes in style and outlook that transformed the art of painting around 1600. Working both as a team and as individuals, they turned away from the conventions of mannerism to reinvigorate the Renaissance tradition and usher in a new style, at once naturalistic, classical and spirited. Malvasia's "Life of the Carracci" has been the principal source of knowledge about these pioneering artists since its first publication in 1678 in "Felsina pittrice, vite de'pittori bolognesi". Malvasia, a law professor and a literary man, was brilliant, innovative and contentious. His biography of the Carracci is pivotal to his celebration of the Bolognese contribution to Baroque art and provides a window onto the cultural life of 17th-century Italy. The worlds of artisans, artists, literati and patrons intersect in his text, giving it incompatible historical and literary value. Although Malvasia's "Life of the Carracci" is widely cited, this is the first translation in any language and the first to offer an extended critical and historical commentary. Malvasia's own life is discussed, and his triple biography of the Carracci is situated within the intellectual and literary currents to which he responded. Richly illustrated, Summerscale's book aims to be a valuable resource for art historians and students of 17th-century literature and historiography.
