• Resumen

  • This essay reconsiders the activity of Jacopo Vignali, Pratovecchio 1592-Florence 1664, as a draughtsman, concentrating on his figure sutdies. The time span discussed here ranges from the artist's beginnings in the early 1620s to his late maturity in the 1650s, and allows one to follow his entire stylistic evolution and focus on the hallmarks of his drawing style. The works presented here, mostly preparatory studies, have been identified among drawings formerly classified as anonymous or attributed to other artists in Italian and foreign collections; the author can thus clarify some of the confusion and misunterstanding which had until now impeded a proper appreciation of Vignali's diligence in drawing. This research casts light on groups of drawings confused in the past with work by Matteo Rosselli, Lorenzo Lippi and Cesare and Vincenzo Dandini, but also presents sheets formerly ascribed to Bernardino Poccetti, Jacopo da Empoli, Fabrizio Boschi, Bilivert, Giovanni da San Giovanni and Orazio Fidani. The selection of drawings concludes with a proposed attribution to Giovanni Montini, familiar as a pupil of Vignali but unknown as a draughtsman.
