Connoisseurial Practices: The Giovanni Morelli Study

|
This part is meant to offer working materials for everyone interested in the connoisseurial working practices of Giovanni Morelli, and particularly in what is called the ›Morellian method‹, its interpretations and reinterpretations.
The Study is, if one likes so, divided into five cabinets: We start with a general introduction (Cabinet I), giving a more general overview, to assemble about thirty questions and answers concerning the connoisseurial working practices of Giovanni Morelli in Cabinet II; after that we are allowed to study assorted expertises by Giovanni Morelli in Cabinet III, to go on with giving a look at various reinterpretations of the Morellian method (Cabinet IV), and to finally finish with an outlook into the future of digital connoisseurship (Cabinet V).
The Morellian method and intuition have often been seen – but falsely –
in opposition (see Cabinet II of our Giovanni Morelli Study); and if Federico Zeri

(Gladwell 2006, p. 5): since what seems to have happened in »those first two seconds«
of Zeri’s intuitive evaluation, is that the Italian connoisseur’s attention was drawn
to the Kouros’ fingernails. And these fingernails did seem »wrong« to Zeri – which
might be interpreted as nothing but an intuitive Morellian test…
