The Procaccini and the Business of Painting in Early Modern Milan
The book investigates the lives and careers of the Procaccini brothers: Camillo (1561–1629), Carlo Antonio (1571–1631) and Giulio Cesare (1574–1625), the most important family of painters working in northern Italy at the start of the seventeenth century. The Procaccinis' work is here analysed by interconnecting their individual stories and understanding their success as the combination of mutual artistic choices, a high level of specialization and precise business organization. The book looks at this family of painters as entrepreneurs, emphasizing their conscious response to the requests of public and private patrons, as well as their ability to balance instances of originality and imitation in an era characterized by a wide range of artistic opportunities, including religious commissions, national and international patronage and multifaceted markets. This book will be of interest to scholars studying art history, early modern studies, the art market, Italian studies and Italian history.
Hilperich
Hilperich ist eine längere Erzählung von Jakob Wassermann. Reinlesen: Ich lebte also und beschäftigte mich nach meiner Art. Bis zu meinem zweiundzwanzigsten Jahr wie gesagt. Da ereignete es sich eines Morgens im Frühling, ich ging gerade zum Amt, daß ich im düsteren Korridor unseres uralten Gerichtsgebäudes ein junges Mädchen stehen sah, welches forschend und unruhig den langen Gang bald hinauf, bald hinunter blickte. Ich trat zu ihr hin und fragte unverhohlen nach ihrem Begehren. Sie antwortete etwas in italienischer Sprache, und da ich sie nicht verstand, schüttelte ich den Kopf und ging langsam meiner Wege. Das ist ein teuflisches Frauenzimmer, sagte ich mir, denn ich hatte im Leben Schöneres nicht gesehen. Voller Gedanken kam ich in die Amtsstube und setzte mich an meinen Tisch. Drei Personen von den Parteien waren schon anwesend. Der Diener schrie in den Flur hinaus: »Bianca Spinola!« und das schöne Mädchen trat ein.

The Influence of Italian Culture on the Sevillian Golden Age of Painting
This book explores the cultural exchange between Italy and Spain in the seventeenth century, examining Spanish collectors’ predilection for Italian painting and its influence on Spanish painters. Focused on collecting and using a novel methodology, this volume studies how the painters of the Sevillian school, including Francisco Pacheco, Diego Velázquez, Alonso Cano and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, perceived and were influenced by Italian painting. Through many examples, it is shown how the presence in Andalusia of various works and copies of works by artists such as Michelangelo, Caravaggio and Guido Reni inspired famous compositions by these Spanish artists. In addition, the book delves into the historical, political and social context of this period. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, and Italian and Spanish history.
