Sandrart does not specify the type of illumination used by Caravaggio (he mentions “einiges kleines Liecht”—one small light), but in a highly influential translation of Bellori’s account, Howard Hibbard is more specific, referring to “lamps.” Bellori’s report reads as follows: “[Caravaggio] trovò una maniera di campirle [i.e., his models] entro l’aria bruna d’una camera rinchiusa,","PeriodicalId":43235,"journal":{"name":"SOURCE-NOTES IN THE HISTORY OF ART","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73105631","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}
