Study of the issue of class and the artist's workshop in 16th c. Italy. Observes that Caravaggio and Guido Reni were obliged to perform manual labor as apprentices, but that Federico Zuccari represented Taddeo's manual labor as injurious to his social and moral well-being. Focuses on Genoese painters Ottavio and Andrea Semino, Bernardo Castello, and Giovanni Battista Paggi and their education and/or workshops; quotes Paggi's views on noble and non-noble practices; and presents evidence of a distinction between students who were under contract and those who remained under their fathers' jurisdictions and were exempt from aspects of apprenticeship involving manual labor, taken from depositions of 1617-18 (excerpted in appendix) concerning Bernardo Castello's practices and the consequent social status of his son.
