Title

Storia dell'Accademia Clementina di Bologna aggregata all'Instituto delle scienze e dell'arti

Description

The engraved scene on the title page depicts a life drawing class in Bologna's Accademia Clementina, named after Pope Clement XI. Painter and art historian Giampietro Zanotti (1674-1765) helped found the academy in 1710, based on the model of Annibale Carracci's Accademia degli Incamminati. The Bolognese painting tradition emphasized life drawing from the nude, which was the basis of instruction at the school. The two-volume work is full of skilled engravings made by members of the academy, depicting putti practicing techniques of etching, sculpture, fresco painting, and measuring for scale.
