| Résumé: | The use of an earlier artist's reputation in the construction of the Early Modern Life of the artist is commonplace. The occurrence of this rhetorical device is examined in the contemporary biographies of Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) where references to Michelangelo Buonarroti figure prominently. Bernini's own views of Michelangelo, found in the diary by Paul Freart de Chantelou, are compared with the biographical literature and with portrait medals of both artists. The uses of Michelangelo found in the seventeenth century sources reveal a complex of polemic on the part of artist, patrons, and biographers. |
