- Abstract
The Venetian painter Gregorio Lazzarini worked for a large number of important clients. Some of his patrons were so pleased with the paintings he executed that further commissions followed for Lazzarini. These include the in large-sized canvas paintings for the Buonaccorsi family in Macerata. The great number of completed pictures has led art historians to assume that they came from a flourishing workshop. However, apart from the works that have survived, there is very little remaining evidence of his activities and those of his workshop. To make matters worse, Lazzarini is supposed never to have left Venice, with one exception. Gregorio Lazzarini's paintings for the Buonaccorsi form the starting point for this essay, which is on the one hand concerned to uncover traces of the painter's work for these clients in the archive material. On the other hand, it examines the ways in which Lazzarini's artistic activity became known, how this knowledge was shared, and where an exchange between the painter and his potential clients took place. To this end, the relationship between Macerata and Venice is examined more closely, focussing on the network around Count Raimondo Buonaccorsi, in order to reveal the routes taken for such an exchange and to sketch important actors.
