• Resumen

  • A study of the letters from the painter Angelo Giacinto Banchero to his brother Giacomo allow us to reconstruct the key phases in the artist´s life and how he frequented the Roman cultural milieu, principally the workshop of Pompeo Batoni. The Genoese painter moved to Rome in 1762, and this correspondence � known through nineteenth-century transcriptions � consists of eighty-three letters written to his brother Giacomo. Many unpublished drawings by Banchero are discussed, some of which � together with information found in nineteenth-century biographies of the artist � allow for a deeper understanding of the origins of some of the painter´s work for Genoese patrons, with whom he always kept in close touch.
