The Book of drawings of the ambrosiana library
SILVIO MARA
The realization of the rich drawing collection of the Ambrosiana in Milan
goes back to the years of Federico Borromeo, who positively wanted to
ensure the institution he had founded with a large number of “books of
drawings”, the characteristic format such collections were given by the taste of the time. No recollection exists of the original organization of
these volumes, on which several drawings were attached. A coherent
recognition of documentary sources found both at the library and at other
structures – covering a time-span that goes from the early 17th to the late
19th Century – allowed to retrace the history, as well as most of the
original features, of one of the most ancient among such precious books.
The collected data seem to bring up the possibility that the former owner
– and maybe maker – of the Book was the Milanese – though born in
Urbino – architect Giovanni Battista Clarici (1542-1602). The drawings
included in the book were taken after works by several artists from the
16th Century, perhaps with the intent of representing the most relevant
pictorial schools of the Renaissance. Despite that, a truly Milanese
character stands out, particularly in a striking series of caricatures
inspired by the example of Leonardo, alternated with some outstanding
original drawings by the Florentine master.
