Notes 28552. Erwin Panofsky, Idea: A Concept in Art Theory, trans. Joseph J. S. Peake (New York:Harper and Row, 1968), 67. In the same passage, Panofsky denies that the sphere thusdefined remains a metaphysical one.53. See Le Mollé, Georges Vasari, 114–16.54. Filippo Baldinucci, Vocabulario toscano dell’arte del disegno (Florence: SPES, 1975), 72.55. Vite 1:168, 213 [Vasari on Technique, Being the Introduction to the Three Arts of Design,Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting, Prefixed to the Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors,and Architects, trans. Louisa S. Maclehose, intro. and notes G. Baldwin Brown (1907;New York: Dover), 205 and 284. [N.B.: Although still the only rendering into English ofthe ‘‘Introduzionne alle tre arti del disegno’’ (absent from all English-language eds. ofVasari’s Lives), the Maclehose translation is abusively free; the renderings from the ‘‘Introduzionne’’are my own, but I provide page references to Maclehose for convenience—trans.]56. See Leon Battista Alberti, De pictura (1435), 2:31 [On Painting, trans. Cecil Grayson(New York: Penguin Books, 1972), 65–67]. L. Ghiberti, cited by P. Barocchi, Scritti d’artedel Cinquecento (Milan and Naples: Ricciardi, 1971–77), 2:1899: ‘‘Il disegno è il fondamentoe teorica di queste due arti [i.e., painting and sculpture]’’.57. Consider, for example, this passage by E. Panofsky: ‘‘[Vasari] also established whatwe are apt to take for granted: the inner unity of what we call the visual arts, or, evenmore concisely, the Fine Arts. . . . He never wavered in his conviction that all the FineArts are based on the same creative principle and, therefore, subject to a parallel development’’(‘‘The First Page of Giorgio Vasari’s ‘Libro,’ ’’ 214). See also Paul Oskar Kristeller,‘‘The Modern System of Arts: A Study in the History of Aesthetics,’’ Journal of the Historyof Ideas 12 (1951): 496–27 [also available in Kristeller, Renaissance Thought and the Arts:Collected Essays (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1965), 163–227]. On the topos ofdesign as principle of all the arts, see Paola Barocchi, Scritti d’arte . . .), 2:1897–2118, whocites texts by Anton Francesco Doni, Francesco de Hollanda, Benvenuto Cellini, AlessandroAllori, Raffaele Borghini, Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo, Giovan Battista Aremnini, RomanoAlberti, Federico Zuccari. See also Barocchi, Trattati d’arte del Cinquecento (Bari:Laterza, 1960–62), 1:44–48 (Benedetto Varchi) and 127–29 (Paolo Pino). Finally, see Firenzee la Toscana dei Medici nell’europa del’500: Il primato del Disegno, exh. cat. (Florence: EdizioniMedicee, 1983), where Luciano Berti discusses disegno as an ‘‘archetype’’ (38).58. See Nicolas Pevsner, Academies of Art, Past and Present (Cambridge: CambridgeUniversity Press, 1940), 42–55. André Chastel, Art et humanisme à Florence au temps deLaurent le Magnifique: Études sur la Renaissance et l’humanisme platonicien (2d ed.; Paris: PUF,1961), 514–21, who rightly associates the age of academies with the ‘‘feeling’’ that a ‘‘history’’had been ‘‘completed’’ (521n.)—in other words, with a sense that the age of theHistory of Art was beginning. A. Nocentini, Cenni storici sull’Accademia delle Arti del Disegno(Florence: ITF, 1963). A. Hughes, ‘‘An Academy of Doing, i: The Accademia del Disegno,the Guilds, and the Principates in Sixteenth-Century Florence,’’ Oxford Art Journal 9, no. 1(1986): 3–10. Rossi, Dalle botteghe alle accademie, 146, 162–81. On Vasari’s relations with theAccademia Fiorentina, see M. D. Davis, ‘‘Vasari e il mondo dell’Accademia fiorentina,’’ inGiorgio Vasari. Principi, letterati, e artisti, 190–94.59. See Bazin, Histoire de l’histoire de l’art, 181.60. Vite 1:168–69 [Vasari on Technique, 205–6 (translation altered)].61. See Salvatore Battaglia, Grande Dizionario della Lingua Italiana (Turin: UTET, 1966),4:653–55.62. See Rouchette, La Renaissance que nous a léguée Vasari, 79–97. G. De Angelis d’Os-

Cennino Cennini, Il libro dell’arte o trattato della pittura, ed. F. Tempesti (Milan:Longanesi, 1984), 36 (section 13) [The Craftsman’s Handbook: The Italian ‘‘Il Libro dell’Arte,’’trans. Daniel V. Thompson Jr. (c. 1954; New York: Dover, 1960), 8 (translation altered)].Symptomatically, at this point in the recent French ed. (Le Livre de l’art, trans. V. Mottez[Paris: De Nobele, 1982], 10–11), the translator errs in a way that might be described aspost-Vasarian; this rendering has the drawing ‘‘emerging from the [disciple’s] head’’ (sortirde la tête), which is precisely the opposite of what Cennini wrote. [N.B.: The cited Englishtranslation also elides this point: ‘‘capable of much drawing out of your head.’’]64. Vite 1:172 [Vasari on Technique, 210].65. See Le Mollé, Georges Vasari, esp. 28, 43–60, 106.66. See, for example, this well-known sentence of Benedetto Varchi: ‘‘Today everyoneallows that both arts [painting and sculpture] have a common end, namely, the artfulimitation of nature, and also that they share one and the same principle, namely disegno.’’Cited by Barocchi, Scritti d’arte . . . , 2:1899. Note, too, that Il Disegno by A. FrancescoDoni was published in Venice in 1549.67. ‘‘DISEGNO, m. Forma espressa di tutte le forme intelligibili e sensibili, che dà luce all’intelettoe vita alle operazioni pratiche.’’ R. Alberti, Origini e progresso dell’Accademia del Disegnode’Pittori, scultori et architetti di Roma (1604), cited by Barocchi, Scritti d’arte . . . , 2:2056.See also Baldinucci, Vocabulario toscano dell’arte del disegno, 51.68. Federico Zuccari, L’idea de’ pittori, scultori, et architetti (1607), in Scritti d’arte diFederico Zuccaro, ed. Detlef Heikamp (Florence: Olschki, 1961), as cited by Barocchi, Scrittid’arte . . .), 2:2062. See S. Rossi, ‘‘Idea e accademia.

Paoletti, Discorso intorno alle imagini sacre e profane (1582), publ. and ed. Barocchi,Trattati d’arte del Cinquecento, 2:132–49 (‘‘Che cosa noi intendiamo per questa voce ‘imagine’ ’’).70. Zuccari, Idea de’ pittori, 2063–64.71. Ibid., 2065. Further on, he argues for the equivalence of disegnare and intendere(2066). This passage is discussed by Panofsky, Idea, 85–86.72. Zuccari, Idea de’ pittori, 2074, 2080–81.73. Ibid., 2068–70, 2107–18.74. This text reprinted in Alberti, Origini e progresso dell’Accademia del Disegno . . . ,2060–61.75. Rossi, ‘‘Idea e accademia’’ (55), aptly notes how, at the end of this grandiose development,Zuccari restores the figurative arts to the bosom of the Church, the state, andeven the army.Chapter 31. Again (see chapter 1, note 29), I cite the beautiful phrase of Pierre Fédida, ‘‘Passéanachronique et présent réminiscent,’’ L’Écrit du temps, no. 10 (1985): 23–45.2. See, however, Raymonde Moulin, Le Marché de la peinture en France (Paris: Minuit,1967; new ed. 1989). Pierre Bourdieu, ‘‘Le Marché des biens symboliques,’’ L’Année sociologique22 (1971): 49–126. H. S. Becker, Les Mondes de l’art, trans. J. Bouniort (Paris: Flammarion,1988), which contains chapters devoted to ‘‘aestheticians’’ and ‘‘critics,’’ but not onedevoted to art historians.
