This book examines several masterpieces of Bolognese painting in the Prado in relation to one of the seminal texts in the history of art in the Modern Age, Malvasia's Felsina pittrice, a defiant response, from a Bolognese perspective and vindicating the colourist heritage of the Carracci, to Vasari's Lives. The author focuses on the artists who, in Malvasia's view, best carried on the legacy of the Carracci family: Reni, Domenichino, Guercino and Albani.
