This article presents several drawings by Federico Zuccari from the collection of the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin —à deux crayons works executed with a combination of black and red chalk— with the aim of tracing the pan-European aspects of Zuccari’s artistic personality as a draughtsman. The artist undertook extensive travels, receiving and at the same time transmitting impulses beyond the spheres of the Florentine and Roman schools. His reputation, both during his lifetime and in subsequent centuries, is also due to collecting practices connected with his drawings.

Questo articolo presenta alcuni fogli di Federico Zuccari provenienti dalla collezione del Kupferstichkabinett di Berlino, disegni à deux crayons, eseguiti con la combinazione di pietra nera e pietra rossa, con l’obiettivo di mettere in luce gli aspetti paneuropei della personalità artistica di Federico Zuccari disegnatore. L’artista compì numerosi viaggi, ricevendo e al tempo stesso trasmettendo impulsi al di fuori degli ambiti della scuola fiorentina e di quella romana. La sua fama, tanto in vita quanto nei secoli successivi, è dovuta anche a dinamiche collezionistiche legate ai suoi disegni.

Dieser Beitrag thematisiert einige gesamteuropäische Aspekte der künstlerischen Persönlichkeit des Zeichners Federico Zuccari anhand ausgewählter Werke aus der Sammlung des Berliner Kupferstichkabinetts. Es handelt sich dabei insbesondere um so genannte Zeichnungen à deux crayons, die mit schwarzer Kreide in Kombination mit Rötel angelegt sind. Der Künstler reiste viel und empfing dabei zahlreiche Impulse, gab aber gleichzeitig auch Anregungen an Kollegen und Nachfolger jenseits des Umkreises der Florentiner und Römischen Schule. Für seinen Ruhm zu Lebzeiten und in den folgenden Jahrhunderten spielten auch die Umstände des Sammelns seiner Zeichnungen eine Rolle.
