• Resumen

  • The critical fortunes of some Florentine painters (Dolci, Volterrano, Mehus, Suttermans) in seventeenth-century Venice are traced through the study of early sources and numerous contemporary inventories, thus helping to identify works described in collections or mentioned in the art literature of the time, and in some cases revealing valuations of paintings on the local art market.

    Special focus is given to the Venetian career of Sebastiano Mazzoni in his key period, offering hypotheses for the patronage of his altarpieces for the city and the Terraferma, and providing a broader context for the network of clients who decorated the walls of their palaces with his paintings. Finally, documentation is provided for Mazzoni´s court-appointed role as art appraiser for the Giudici del Proprio.
