Resumen de Are Two Really Better than One?: The Collaboration of Franz Kaiserman and Bartolomeo Pinelli
The writer discusses the collaboration in Rome in the early 19th century between artists Franz Kaiserman and Bartolomeo Pinelli. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Rome was a crucible for young, talented artists. This exciting environment fostered an unusual camaraderie among individuals, albeit sparked by a measure of healthy competition, and collaboration became common between artists. Using stylistic analysis and the evidence of newly emerged groups of drawings and watercolors, the writer reconstructs one of those artistic collaborations: the fascinating partnership between Kaiserman, the then-celebrated Swiss landscapist, and Pinelli, a younger Italian artist who later became well known as an illustrator, watercolorist, printmaker, and sculptor.
