Excerpt from Histoire des Plus C???l???bres Amateurs Italiens Et de Leurs Relations Avec les Artistes On a beaucoup ???critsur les artistes, et il existe, dans presque toutes les langues, un grand nombre de livres sur leurs vies et sur leurs ouvrages; mais on en chercherait vainement un seul sur les amateurs. C'est ??? peine si dans les biographies des artistes, les noms des amateurs sont cit???s en passant, comme dans un catalogue, pour indiquer les oeuvres qu'ils ont com mand???es ou qu'ils poss???dent. Cet oubli n'est pas juste; car combien d'artistes ont d??? leur renomm???e et leur fortune aux premiers encouragements qu'ils ont re???us d'amateurs aussi g???n???reux qu'???clair???s. Il est m???me vrai de dire que le go???t des amateurs a souvent r???agi sur celui des artistes, et que les plus grands ma???tres n'ont pas ???chapp??? ??? leur influence. Pour ne citer ici qu'un seul exemple, Rapha???l, de son propre aveu consultait souvent Balthasar Castiglione sur les sujets de ses compositions. Les amateurs m???ritent donc d'occuper, dans l'histoire de l'art, une place plus consid???rable que celle qui leur a ???t??? accord???e _]usciu'ic??? par les historiens et les bio graphes.
