A dark red matte softcover with French folds and a color illustration across the front cover. The title is typed in yellow and white on the front cover and along the spine. Pages: (8), 9-63, (1). There are a total of 31 figures, with 28 color illustrations. Written in Italian. "In questo studio si illustra l'ultima impresa comune dei Carracci, affrontata poco prima della partenza di Annibale ed Agostino per Roma, nell'estate del 1595. ? un'impresa insolita, per loro: non si tratta infatti di dipingere, fianco a fianco, un fregio lungo le parti alte delle pareti, com'era avvenuto prima in Palazzo Fava e poi in quello Magnani. Qui, nell'appartamento a piano terra dell'abate Sampieri, essi dovevano decorare tre stanze a volta; una per ciascuno, quindi; e con scene in veduta scorciata di sottoins.Per la prima volta, nella decorazione a fresco, si trovavano per cos? dire a gara l'uno con l'altro, poco prima della loro definitiva separazione. Solo il tema mitologico li tiene affiancati: ch'? la gloria di Ercole, il dio pagano della forza usata con saggezza; un mito diffuso, perch? facilmente accettato anche dalla cultura umanistica cristiana. L'unit? di stile, di linguaggio elaborata dall'accademia carraccesca ? qui ancora all'opera. Ma le tendenze personali, le caratteristiche proprie e individue dei tre artisti affiorano ormai con chiarezza; e si sente che Annibale ambisce al confronto con l'ambiente romano, ove di l? a pochissimo otterr? i suoi primi clamorosi successi." ["This study illustrates the last joint undertaking of the Carraccis, undertaken shortly before the departure of Annibale and Agostino for Rome, in the summer of 1595. It is an unusual undertaking for them: in fact it is not a question of painting, side by side , a frieze along the upper parts of the walls, as had happened first in Palazzo Fava and then in Palazzo Magnani. Here, in Abbot Sampieri's ground floor apartment, they had to decorate three vaulted rooms; one for each, therefore; and with scenes in foreshortened view from below. For the first time, in the fresco decoration, they found themselves competing, so to speak, with each other, shortly before their definitive separation. Only the mythological theme keeps them side by side: which is the glory of Hercules, the pagan god of strength used wisely; a widespread myth, because it is easily accepted even by Christian humanistic culture. The unity of style and language developed by the Carracci academy is still at work here. But the personal tendencies, the specific and individual characteristics of the three artists now emerge clearly; and we feel that Hannibal aspires to compare himself with the Roman environment, where he will soon achieve his first sensational successes."]. VG: A previus ownership signiture on the title page. Otherwise this is a very clean book with tight binding and clear pages that looks like it was rarely, if ever, taken from the shelf. …
