Bernard Berenson by Rachel Cohen Book Summary
Nel 1888, quando arrivò in Italia nemmeno venticinquenne, il giovane dandy e aspirante letterato Bernard Berenson era già alla sua seconda incarnazione: nella precedente era stato il figlio di un venditore di stoviglie ebreo lituano, emigrato a Boston; ora, pur privo di ricchezze proprie o credenziali accademiche, si apprestava a diventare il portentoso conoscitore dello stile degli antichi maestri che il capitalismo sanguigno, dirompente, vorace della Gilded Age avrebbe eletto a propria guida nel mercato dell'arte. Sopravvissuto alla guerra e all'occupazione tedesca, terminerà i suoi giorni a novantaquattro anni, nel contemplativo, erudito splendore della sua principesca dimora fra i colli fiorentini, ma con l'amara consapevolezza di aver messo il suo prestigio al servizio dei grandi mercanti. Sullo sfondo di incoercibili forze storiche, gli amori e i segreti patti d'affari, l'imbarazzo e insieme l'attrazione per le proprie origini, i meriti intellettuali e i venali sotterfugi di colui che insegnò al mondo a leggere Botticelli (un suo dipinto, diceva, «sta alla rappresentazione come la musica sta al discorso») e gli affidò "I pittori italiani del Rinascimento", nitidamente tratteggiati da Rachel Cohen, ci restituiscono una figura inimitabile, i cui «dintorni, l'ombre et i lumi» avrebbe detto il Vasari «fanno parere che ella venga innanzi».
