Nuovi disegni di Egidio Dall'Oglio

The article aims to investigate Egidio Dall’Oglio’s drawings, advancing a new proposal that a significant body of works preserved at the Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia, which to date has never been published in its entirety, should be attributed to his artistic production. The investigation raised the question of the processes of graphic appropriation that enabled Dall’Oglio to preserve the drawing records he learned from his teacher, Giambattista Piazzetta, and transport them to his various areas of production. This working method is behind a sort of ‘migratory’ movement of Piazzetta’s language in the provinces of Veneto’s mainland foothills, spreading his teacher’s models and thus contributing to his success in the eighteenth-century art scene. megera.sebastiano@spes.uniud.it megerasebastiano@gmail.com
