Catherine R. Puglisi begins with an account of Albani's life and artistic development in the milieus of Bologna and Rome. She next focuses attention on Albani's entirely personal landscapes -- paintings of graceful nymphs and dancing putti in wooded glades, beyond which sunny meadows, lakes, and distant hills glow under limpid skies. His serene panoramas with poetic themes initiated the highly influential tradition of idyllic classicism. Puglisi assesses Albani's later career and his crucial role as teacher and transmitter of the Carracci reform of painting, as well as the theoretical writings in which he presents both traditional attitudes and original insights. In the final chapter, she offers a penetrating analysis of Albani's fluctuating critical reputation through the centuries as reflected in written commentaries and shifting patterns of collecting.
