| Popis: | The changing conception of the artist that occurred during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries has been recognized in various ways. This article seeks to argue that it may be seen in the language used to describe artists’ working spaces. Typically lacking any precise differentiation in the inventories of painters’ estates that enumerate the contents of their dwellings room by room, the language for these spaces undergoes a change in the more rhetorically shaped literature on art. First sporadically, then strikingly, the word ‘bottega’ with its unwanted commercial connotations is abandoned and, before ‘studio’ comes to take its place, the word ‘stanza’– simply space or room – is used as a more neutral, less problematic word, even for multiple spaces. Entailed in this usage is both the concern for the status of the artist and the introduction of new social practices into a definition of the artist's workplace that had been largely economic. |
