PIETRO SANTI BARTOLI'S ‘PITTURE ANTICHE MINIATE’: DRAWINGS OF ROMAN PAINTINGS AND MOSAICS IN PARIS, LONDON AND WINDSOR
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 October 2014
Abstract
Pietro Santi Bartoli was esteemed for his elegant ‘ancient pictures in miniature’, based on the records he made of new discoveries in Rome, but few of the collections made by his patrons survive intact. This paper reconstructs one such, by combining the contents of two sets of coloured drawings, one in London (RIBA Drawings Collection) and the other in Paris (Bibliothèque Nationale de France) to produce a series of records that includes some little-known discoveries of the 1680s. The relationship between Bartoli's sketchy on-site records and the coloured ‘miniatures’ is examined via the ‘Vittoria album’ at Windsor, which contains many of his preparatory drawings.
Pietro Santi Bartoli era apprezzato per le sue eleganti ‘pitture antiche miniate’, basate sulla sua documentazione delle nuove scoperte in Roma. Tuttavia solo una piccola parte delle collezioni realizzate dai suoi committenti è sopravvissuta integra. Il presente articolo ne ricostruisce una, combinando il contenuto di due insiemi di disegni a colore, uno in Londra (RIBA Drawings Collection) e l'altro a Parigi (Bibliothèque Nationale de France), con il fine di produrre una serie di testimonianze che includono scoperte poco note degli anni attorno al 1680. La relazione tra gli schizzi in loco di Bartoli e le miniature colorate è esaminata attraverso il ‘Vittoria album’ conservato a Windsor, che contiene molti dei disegni preparatori.
