Summary: "The History of Painting in Italy, Vol. 4 (of 6)" by Luigi Lanzi is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume continues the exploration of Italian painting, focusing specifically on the artistic movements and school of painting in Upper Italy, showcasing regions such as Lombardy, Mantua, Modena, Parma, Cremona, and Milan. The book weaves through the intricate networks of influences and epochs, detailing prominent artists and their contributions to the landscape of art in Italy from the Renaissance through the end of the 18th century. The opening of this volume begins with Lanzi’s assertion that the history of painting in Lombardy needs to be treated differently from that of other Italian schools due to its distinct and varied characteristics. He emphasizes that Lombardy was once a region divided into many districts, each featuring its own unique school and artist legacies, unlike the well-defined capitals of Florence or Venice. The text introduces the Mantuan School, discussing the significant role of Andrea Mantegna and his successors in shaping the regional artistic style, alongside considerations of other artists who emerged from this area. Initial themes revolve around the influences that originated here, the importance of artistic exchange, and the evolution of styles that characterized the vibrant Lombard art scene.
