Vincenzo Carducci (Florence, ca. 1576/78 – Madrid, 1638): Networks and artistic literature between the end of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century at the court of the Hispanic monarchy. Focusing on the Florentine painter and writer Vicente Carducho, this research aims to reconstruct the artistic landscape from 1585 to 1640 at the court of the Hispanic monarchy, and to analyze his Diálogos de la Pintura (1634) as the first treatise on painting in modern Spain. In residence at Villa Medici, he will explore the conceptual debts that Vicente Carducho owes in his treatise to Federico Zuccari and his theory of drawing, as well as the model of the Academy of Arts that Zuccari established in Rome.
