Excerpt from The Life and Times of Salvator Rosa, Vol. 1 of 2
Struck, as I had always been, with the philosophical tone and poetical conception of Salvator's greater pictures, even to the feeling a degree of personal interest in favour of their creator, I took the opportunity of my residence in Italy to make some verbal enquiries as to the private character and story of 'a man, whose powerful intellect and deep feeling, no less than his wild and gloomy imagination, came forth even in his most petulant sketches and careless designs.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed examination of Salvator Rosa, a talented Italian painter who lived from 1615 to 1673 during a tumultuous period of societal and political change. The author sheds light on the ways in which Rosa's work was a reflection of and influenced by the historical context in which he lived. This period, marked by the rise of the Reformation, the decline of the art market, and the growing influence of the Church, saw the ascendancy of the Baroque style, a flamboyant and emotional artistic movement to which Rosa's work belonged. The author explores the innovator tendencies of his art by contrasting him to his contemporaries, the Caravaggio and the Spanish Naturalists. Salvator Rosa's art and poetry would have a considerable influence on later artists, especially those of the Romantic period. With chapters dedicated to Rosa's earlier life, specific works, and influence, the author provides an in-depth analysis of one of the most celebrated painters of the 17th Century.
