Il cavalier Giuseppe Cesari d'Arpino

The importance of Giuseppe Cesari's (1568-1640) oeuvre in the history of art has been re-established thanks to the many studies of Hewarth Röttgen, the curator of the first and most recent exhibition dedicated to the artist (held at the Palazzo Venezia, Rome, 1973); in 2002 thanks to his collaboration with Ugo Bozzi Editore, Röttgen brought to press his important monographic study of the artist's paintings: 'Il Cavalier Giuseppe Cesari D'Arpino. Un grande pittore nello splendore della fama e nell'incostanza della fortuna'. The idea for the present volume, which is entirely concerned with Cesari's work as a draughtsman, was born of the 2002 publication. While the events of the painter's life are by now well known to scholars, the identity of his achievement as a graphic artist remains little explored. Many of the drawings presented in this book are here published for the first time, some alongside unpublished paintings.
