Sulle tracce di Padre Resta nelle collezioni di Capodimonte
Gianluca Puccio presents his research on a large group of drawings held in the collections of the Capodimonte Museum and linked to Father Sebastiano Resta (1652-1714), a leading figure in the old master drawings market in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The presentation discusses Resta’s connoisseurship and his role in the formation of the collection, as well as the speaker’s current work on a digital catalogue of drawings at Capodimonte. This presentation is in Italian.
