Bellori, Giovanni Pietro
Bellori, Giovanni Pietro (
b Rome, 15 Jan. 1613;
d Rome, 19 Feb. 1696). Italian biographer, art theorist, antiquarian, and collector. His most important work—a basic source for the history of 17th-century art—is
Le vite de' pittori, scultori et architetti moderni (1672), in the preparation of which he was helped by his friend
Poussin. In contrast to most authors of biographical compilations, Bellori was highly selective in the artists he discussed, limiting himself to twelve subjects—
Algardi,
Barocci,
Caravaggio, Agostino and Annibale
Carracci,
Domenichino, François
Duquesnoy, van
Dyck, the architect Domenico Fontana,
Lanfranco, Poussin, and
Rubens. The preface to the work (originally delivered as a lecture at the Accademia di S. Luca, Rome, in 1664) became the classic statement of the concept of
ideal art. It had a decisive influence on French academic theory and later became the theoretical basis of the
Neoclassicism preached by
Winckelmann. Bellori planned a sequel to his
Lives, for which he wrote biographies of
Maratta,
Reni, and
Sacchi. The life of Maratta was published in 1732 and the three biographies together, edited from his manuscript, in 1942.
