Abstract

Wherever authors wrote about art and artists in the age of the Baroque, they used a terminology which they borrowed from classical rhetoric. At the same time, the terms and topoi that were passed down were not only used to describe the processes of the production and reception of works of art. They were also used to determine the specific qualities and peculiarities of art and artists. Additionally, this terminology formed the conceptual framework of the relationship between artist and society. The history of artists’ lives in peticular, a genre, cultivated since Antiquity, offered this specific discourse a broad pool of exemplary phrases and literary topoi. During the 16th century, artists’ biographies were established as a distinct literary genre and then flourished in the age of the Baroque. Together with the increasing numbers of artists’ portraits and depictions of studio interiors in the visual arts, the biographies characterise a discourse about artists that, historically speaking, correlates with the material and documentary evidence of the artists’ social history. To this extent, considering the rhetorical assumptions of the discursive formations in both word and image is a worthwhile object of investigation. The plurality and diversity of the sources, some of them unpublished, preclude any claim to completeness, but as an overview this attempt might give an impetus for further study.
