Description

Giacomo Ceruti: A Compassionate Eye This publication explores the relationship between art, patronage, and economic inequality in early modern Europe through the works of Giacomo Ceruti. Ceruti was known for his large-scale paintings of low-income tradespeople and individuals experiencing homelessness, whom he portrayed with dignity and sympathy. The book accompanies the first US exhibition to focus solely on Ceruti's work and provides a detailed examination of his pictures of laborers and the unhoused. Essays and a generous plate section contextualize and closely examine Ceruti's oeuvre, shedding light on depictions of marginalized subjects in early modern European art and the artist's significance in the history of European painting. A comprehensive exhibition checklist is included, providing information critical for further understanding of Ceruti's work.
