Summary: Since 1972, the Prints and Drawings Department of the Musée du Louvre has been publishing the catalogues raisonné of its Italian drawings. This volume is dedicated to Genoese drawings fro the 16th to the 18th century. Genoa was an independent republic, open to trade and with a vigorous economy, and this condition allowed the birth of local art school permeated by a variety of foreign influences presente in the city. The renown of its school soon spread behind its borders and several Genoese painters had important careers in other cities. The book catalogues and illustrates the 500 drawings held in the Louvre's collections, with works-marked by an elegant and refined style spanning over three centuries- by Luca Cambiaso, Andrea and Ottavio Semino, Giovanni Battista Castello, Giovanni Battista Paggi, Giulio Benso, Giovanni Andrea De Ferrari, Bernardo Strozzi, Bartolomeo Biscaino, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Domenico Piola and the De Ferraris.
