Passione Barocco is the paradigmatic expression of the essence of collecting, in which micro-history is interwoven with history, art history is combined with the history of taste, and individual stories are joined with artistic currents. The concise, penetrating style of the entries written by Letizia Treves examines a century of painting, the Italian Seicento, also touching on France and Germany, a sole sixteenth-century antecedent (Annibale Carracci), and rare offshoots in the eighteenth century. In most cases, the subjects are of a religious nature, with forays into myth and allegory, and the signatures are either those of famous artists - from Pietro da Cortona to Luca Giordano, from Carlo Dolci to Cavalier d'Arpino, from Artemisia to Lanfranco, from Cagnacci to Battistello Caracciolo - or of painters who have recently returned to the limelight, starting from Giovanni Battista Beinaschi all the way to Andrea Vaccaro and Giuseppe Vermiglio. Dulcis in fundo, truly a masterstroke by Letizia Treves is the identification of an unpublished work by Simone Cantarini, the Testa di una giovane (Head of a Young Man), hitherto unattributed.
But Passione Barocco is above all the "expression of egocentrism and vanity". The sentiments that Vittorio Ducrot tells us about instigate collecting; we can hardly dispute his opinion seeing that the paintings displayed and analyzed in the volume are his own. The fruit of a vibrant and profound passion - which he shares with his wife Isabella - and laid bare in the introductory pages that reveal the talent and passion of the true memorialist, who, through the episodes in his life, told without useless reticence, bestows upon the reader a universal lesson of life. Authoritative texts by Luciano Arcangeli and Claudio Strinati offer, as they close the substantial volume, a glance "from the outside" - thus an objective one - upon the Ducrot Collection.
