In the typical study, he wrote, “The Life is gotten over just as hastily as possible before turning to The Work.” In Eisler’s view, this development was unfortunate, for “if an artist’s work is worthy of scrutiny, the more we know the artist the better.” Perhaps no art historian has taken Eisler’s guidance more to heart than Martin Kemp. His Leonardo embraced the virtues of outright biography so avidly that it became an","PeriodicalId":43235,"journal":{"name":"SOURCE-NOTES IN THE HISTORY OF ART","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76613683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet these homilies, Steinberg noted, not only excited great attention and curiosity during Evelyn’s lifetime (1620–1706), but they were regarded as important forms of communal entertainment and popular discussion,","PeriodicalId":43235,"journal":{"name":"SOURCE-NOTES IN THE HISTORY OF ART","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86438032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
