註釋Rosa was not only a painter. He was also an actor and major satirical poet, who shone in the world of the literary academies, and he took pleasure in the company of scholars and literary men. His impatience with the conventional system of patronage and advancement led him to create a new persona for the artist, characterized by extravagant claims to freedom, and he used both the public exhibitions in Rome and the ready support of his literary admirers to spread his fame. He has always had a dual importance for the history of art, as painter and as personality, and in the Romantic period new myths were spun around him. Identified with one of his own banditti, he became a cult figure, celebrated as a free and fiery artist who soared above all rules.
