Abstract

The article studies artists’ biographies gender in Eighteenth Century Spain. From Antonio Palomino’s El Parnaso Español to Ceán Bermúdez’s Diccionario histórico a new kind of criticism emerged, which was to have play a large role in the coming years: artists’ biographies in Vasari tradition were no longer deemed the best method for presenting information about the art of the past. Their research had to have a more solid basis; thus, the new writers on Fine Arts frequently visited archives to compare their results with documentary sources.
