• Resumen

  • The article identifies Clemente Paolo Gini, a seventeenth century draughtsman and follower of landscapist Remigio Cantagallina, as the author of some drawings previously linked to the name of Cristofano Paolo Galli. Extensive archival sources offer some insight into Gini's biography. As a young man, the artist had to flee his native Bologna, where he was accused of murder. Moreover he seems to have been in contact with prominent members of his hometown's cultural élite. Gini was a cultivated dilettante. His reiterated use of models by Cantagallina suggests a possible link to the artistic education offered at the Tuscan court, where Remigio spent most of his career giving drawing lessons to young noblemen, with a particular focus on landscape. Finally Gini's production is analyzed, discribing several monogrammed drawings and etchings, and discussing some stylistic attributions.
