This comprehensive work aims to chronicle the development of painting in Italy from the revival of the arts to the end of the 18th century, covering significant periods and regional schools, particularly focusing on the Florentine and Sienese schools. The author's intent is to gather assorted histories and influences surrounding artists, techniques, and the evolution of styles, thereby providing a systematic history that serves both art lovers and scholars. At the start of the text, Lanzi emphasizes the necessity of a unified narrative regarding the history of painting, expressing disdain for disjointed and verbose individual artist accounts prevalent in previous writings. He outlines his methodical approach, intending to categorize the painting schools into significant epochs, showcasing the developments and constraints faced by artists over time. Lanzi introduces early painters, such as Cimabue and Giotto, linking their contributions to a larger narrative of artistic revival in Tuscany. He highlights how the revival began with improvements in sculpture and how key figures set new standards for design and technique, ultimately paving the way for the flourishing of painting in Italy. Throughout, there’s a focus on the interplay between art practices and the sociopolitical climate, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of notable artists in subsequent sections.
