GRISOLIA FRANCESCO
(programma)
The course, organised into centuries, schools and artistic tendencies, will be focused on topics that are essential to understanding the role of Drawing in the evolution of Italian art, starting with the Early Renaissance up to the Neoclassicism: main artists and their drawings; techniques and their developments; analysis of literary sources and documents.
The first part is introductive and comprehensive of the history of drawing from Middle Ages to Neoclassicism.
In addition to the analysis of techniques, the leading exponents of the Italian draughtsmanship and its main schools will be examined.
Drawing’s typologies and features will be explained as well as the concepts related to them, also in relation to the connected activities of drawing collecting and connoisseurship.
Particular attention will be given to the graphics production in Rome during the 16th century, especially to Michelangelo and Raphael.
Visits to graphic collections and exhibitions are an essential part of the course.
