englischThe imitation of softness is the central subject of Italian painting and art criticism of the Cinquecento. Whether hair or flesh: if something appears soft, it seems alive. Its representation is influenced by the painting material. From the 15th century onwards, oil paint in particular guaranteed new possibilities for depicting softness in painting.

Morbidezza - Sfumato: Maltechnische Genesen und kunstkritische Reflexionen weiche Malerei im Cinquecento addresses the question of the extent to which the material qualities of oil paint produce different softnesses. The focus is on Antonio Correggio's Morbidezza and Leonardo da Vinci's Sfumato. Softnesses that differ in technique, semantics, and art-critical evaluation.
