Abstract
AbstractMagnificently bound in a small octavo format, the inventory of the estate of the Italian painter Giacinto Calandrucci (1646–1707) is unique not only because of its private nature and function; it also constitutes an incredibly rich source of information about artists and collectors in 18th‐century Rome, describing over 2,000 works of art in the Calandrucci family collection. The essay investigates the context in which this rare document (ca. 1737) was created and used, and develops how it illustrates, along with extant drawings by Giacinto, particular aspects of his studio practice. In addition the essay introduces overlooked works of the painter's nephew and heir, Giovanni Battista Calandrucci (before 1694–after 1737).
