This paper aims to cast new light on Anton Domenico Gabbiani's first sojourn in Venice, which took place between 1678 and 1681, by following the two main biographies of the artist, written by Ignazio Enrico Hugford and Francesco Saverio Baldinucci, and by analysing new archival documents. Specific attention is given to the constant study of artworks by the great Venetian masters of the Sixteenth century, especially Titian, to whom Gabbiani devoted himself also in his later years, copying famous masterpieces of the Cadore painter. Through some unpublished drawings of the Uffizi and new or little-known paintings, the Venetian component of Gabbiani's style is identified in the way of composing and in the execution of airy and light figures. The highlights and intense Venetian colorism contributed to the creation of sophisticated chiaroscuro modulations expressed in the mimetic rendering of animals and landscape settings.

Giulio Pignatti or Pignatta (1679-1751), a painter from Modena who specialized in portraiture, arrived in Florence in 1705 and remained there until his death. During the fourty-six years spent in the Tuscan capital, he made contact with the last members of the Medici dynasty and with Grand Tourists as attested by the Portrait of Sir Andrew Fountaine with four friends in the Tribuna of the Uffizi, dated 1715. Pignatti's oeuvre can now be expanded by another conversation piece commissioned in 1721 by Giuseppe Aversani's pupils in the University of Pisa on the occasion of the gift of a gold medal, and by the portraits of Ludovico Tempi and Cosimo Del Sera which testifies that Pignatti worked for numerous Florentine noble families. By focusing on these paintings, the paper intends to provide a better understanding of the artist's career and patrons.

La période baroque s'étend du début du XVIIe siècle au milieu du XVIIIe siècle. Réponse des artistes à l'exigence de grandeur solennelle prônée par l'Église catholique de l'après concile de Trente, l'art baroque, par sa monumentalité et son emphase, séduisit les grandes cours européennes. L'architecture est, sans aucun doute, parmi les arts, celui qui laissa le plus de traces dans toute l'Europe, parsemant le continent de magnifiques églises et palais baroques, à la hauteur de la puissance de ses commanditaires. Le Bernin, pour l'école du Sud, et Rubens, pour celle du Nord, représentent à eux

Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (juin 1599 - 6 août 1660), dit Diego Vélasquez, est un peintre du siècle d'or espagnol ayant eu une influence considérable à la cour du roi Philippe IV. Il est généralement considéré, avec Francisco Goya et Le Greco, comme l'un des plus grands artistes de l'histoire espagnole. Son style, tout en restant très personnel, s'inscrit résolument dans le courant baroque de cette période. Ses deux visites effectuées en Italie, attestées par les documents de l'époque, eurent un effet décisif sur l'évolution de son oeuvre. Outre de nombreuses peintures à valeur histo
