| Summary | "The History of Painting in Italy, Vol. 5" by Luigi Lanzi is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume focuses specifically on the Bolognese School, along with the artistic developments in Ferrara, Genoa, and Piedmont, tracing the evolution of painting in these regions up to the 18th century. It provides detailed analyses of various artists and the stylistic changes across epochs, reflecting the rich tapestry of Italian art and its influences during this time. The opening of the work introduces the Bolognese School, illustrating how the pursuit of artistic excellence in Bologna emerged alongside the influence of prominent figures from earlier Italian painting traditions. The text delves into the prominent artists and their styles, discussing their approaches to imitation and innovation in art. Notably, Lanzi highlights the evolution of techniques and the emergence of original styles within Bologna while also critically engaging with the historical narratives surrounding the school, laying a foundation for understanding the interconnections between the various regional styles and their historical contexts.
