Abstract
Artistic life in the Rome of the late Cinquecento was affected by a gradual departure from the Renaissance idea of a master who set his personal example on the work of his assistants. The concept of an artist as the head of a large workshop, who determined everything related to its life and work, now increasingly merged into an idea of a collaboration of creative equals. Girolamo Muziano’s interaction with his assistants was partly a continuation of the ideal examples of Roman workshops in the first half of the 16th cent. However, in this case, the type of interaction underwent an unexpected development, as the teacher began to use the graphic ideas of his students. This article examines the continuity and mutation of traditions and innovative creative methods in the workshop of Girolamo Muziano.
