September 1639 in London), war ein italienischer Maler und Freskant zwischen Spätmanierismus und Barock. . (wiki) // At the end of May 1606, Michelangelo da Caravaggio, under indictment for murder, fled from Rome. For Orazio Gentileschi, who had considered Caravaggio his intimate friend and had been moved by his revolutionary artistic vision, this sudden departure must have been immediately unsettling. For Gentileschi's art it proved to be momentous. So subsequently did other events, some of them just as unexpected: the bitter trial of Agostino Tassi for the rape of Artemisia Gentileschi; a meeting with a Genoese nobleman; a call to France by Marie de'Medici; an invitation to England from Charles I. The text of this book is built around such moments, since it was by them above all that Orazio's career was shaped. It is an interpretive essay that presumes to reveal how Gentileschi's art responded to changing artistic tastes, sociocultural circumstances, and the vicissitudes of his personal life. Emphasis is placed on the role of Orazio's intellect in the creation of pictures whose esthetic beauty is beyond question; the artist is shown to have made thoughtful judgments in consideration of subject matter, didactic function, scale, physical location, and patronage. And Gentileschi's commitment to expression, which is inseparable from his passionate striving for technical perfection, is everywhere underlined. Many of the conclusions in the text, particularly those relative to the dating of Orazio's works, proceed from the documentation and critical opinions that are summarized and evaluated in the Catalogue of Authentic Works, the Catalogue of Lost Works, and the Appendices. The chronology proposed here is not inviolable. The autograph works are catalogued chronologically according to the order suggested by the available evidence, and, when practicable, the illustrations follow the same sequence. In contrast, the Catalogue of Lost Works is arranged by subject matter for easy reference in the likely event that further pictures by Gentileschi appear. The Catalogue of Questionable Attributions represents a sensitive area that I have approached solely in the spirit of scholarly inquiry. The critical fate of Gentileschi is allied to the fortunes that Baroque art in general, and Caravaggesque painting in particular, have enjoyed or endured through the centuries. Moreover, since Orazio does not belong to the same genius class of Caravaggio, Annibale Carracci, and Bernini, and since the pictures of his last fifteen years were almost totally unknown in Italy, he did not inspire much substantive literature even in the seventeenth century.
