Summary "The History of Painting in Italy, Vol. 2 (of 6)" by Luigi Lanzi is a historical account likely written in the early 19th century. This volume focuses on the evolution of painting in Italy from the Renaissance to the end of the 18th century, specifically examining the schools of Rome and Naples. The text seems to delve deeply into the development of various art movements and individual artists, providing insights into the cultural and historical contexts in which they created. At the start of the volume, Lanzi introduces the contentious issue surrounding the Roman School of painting, pondering its legitimacy in comparison to other renowned schools like those of Florence and Venice. He discusses the origins and contributions of notable artists such as Raffaello and others, highlighting how the Roman School, despite its fewer numbers, produced an influential style characterized by a profound reverence for classical antiquity. Lanzi sets the stage for a detailed historical analysis, referencing various artists, art principles, and their legacies while providing a broader context for understanding the development of art in Italy.
