OverviewTramelli considers three main areas of Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo's studies: color, perspective and anatomy, investigating the types of theoretical and practical knowledge on these subjects conveyed in the Trattato dell'Arte della Pittura and how the context of Milan at the end of the sixteenth century shaped the material gathered in Lomazzo's books.

One of the most important values of Tramelli's book is that it makes Lomazzo's broad and prolific writings available to non-Italian scholars, particularly the Trattato, the most widely read of his books, which Schlosser has recognized as the Bible of Mannerism . [...] Tramelli succeeds in making Lomazzo's writing lighter and more intelligible, while articulating the topics in shorter paragraphs and highlighting and discussing the contradictions in the text. Mauro Pavesi (Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. LXXI , No. 1, pp. 237-239 [the work] demonstrates intellectual honesty in providing an essential and consistent line of interpretation. It is a book that I have read with pleasure, as, in short, it is never discouraging the reader and making him feel inadequate: the difficulties of the reader are the same as those of the author, and she exposes her doubts with the utmost sincerity. - Giovanni Mazzaferro, Letteratura artistica: Cross-cultural Studies in Art History Sources Author InformationDr. Barbara Tramelli obtained her PhD in Art history at the Freie Universitaet in Berlin.
