Tra Sardegna e Catalogna. Artisti e committenti nella prima età moderna alla luce delle fonti documentali
This research aims to investigate the relationship between artists and patrons and the dynamics of production, circulation, use of paintings in reference to Sardinia in the late fifteenth-early sixteenth century in its relations with Catalonia. The primary objective is to search out new data on episodes and steps considered fundamental in the art, the knowledge of which is limited by the lack of documentation and the small number of surviving works; complementary objective is to try to understand what was the nature of the artist-client relationship and how the mechanisms of production of the works and their circulation were configured and according to which patterns were transposed by the users. To go back to the circumstances that led to the creation of the art work is necessary to refer to a set of data that go beyond the canonical commission contracts of works. Any news about the actions, the movements and contacts of the patrons, the artistic operators, suppliers of raw materials (and therefore of producers and merchants) was (re)read and (re)analyzed to identify new elements that could expand the limited knowledge in our possession.
