How is it that Raphael and Michelangelo set new and very different standards in the paintings of Rome? Traditional workshops, wholly subordinate to the will of managers and engaged in the reproduction of their manners, over the course of the XVI century replaced the studio with the distribution of creative tasks among equal participants. The heroes of Maria Lubnikova’s book are the greatest masters who worked in the Eternal City together with their assistants, as well as the owners of lesser-known workshops who tried to compete with them. How did the masters compete with each other for profitable orders? Why did some artists prefer to work alone, while others joined in unions? Did all painters willingly share with their students the secrets of their skill and what was the training? The book is based on the study of correspondence of artists, Renaissance biographies and treatises on art, as well as numerous sketches and paintings that become evidence of the creative interaction of masters. Maria Lubnikova (Dunina) is a researcher at the Department of Art of Old Masters of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, candidate of art history, specialist in the art of the Italian Renaissance.
