| Summary | "The Mentor: The Wife in Art, Vol. 1, Num. 28, Serial No. 28" by Gustav Kobbé is an artistic exploration written in the early 20th century. This publication serves as an insightful commentary on the profound influence that wives had on celebrated male artists during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. It is not merely a historical account but rather an appreciation of the interplay between life, love, and art, emphasizing how these artists were shaped by the relationships they maintained with their spouses. The book covers various renowned painters such as Andrea del Sarto, Fra Filippo Lippi, Rubens, Rembrandt, Anthony Van Dyck, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, with each section dedicated to their wives and the unique influences these women had on their artistic endeavors. For instance, Lucrezia Fedi’s beauty inspired Andrea del Sarto's numerous works, even as her extravagance hampered his career. Similarly, Lucrezia Buti became both the muse and the wife of Fra Filippo Lippi, enhancing his paintings with her beauty. The text goes on to examine the relationships of other artists with their wives, illustrating a recurring theme of love's duality in fostering creative genius. Through vivid descriptions and historical anecdotes, Kobbé illustrates the essential yet often overlooked role women played in the art world, affirming that behind many great artists stood equally compelling figures who shaped their legacies.
