埃爾科萊·巴齊卡盧瓦
巴洛克軍事題材版畫家
埃爾科萊·巴齊卡盧瓦（Ercole Bazzicaluva），也拼作Bezzicaluva或Bazzicaluve，是巴洛克時期的一位義大利版畫家。 He was born in Pisa. He was active in Florence from the first half of the 17th century. Dedicating his series of "few and fake countries" to the Grand Duke of Tuscany on Oct. 24th 1638, Bazzicaluva declared himself being originated “of Pisa"; but then, in the margins of the first of some military episodes of 1641, he is called "Florentine" (perhaps due to the fact that Pisa was part, for more than a century, of the State of Florence)As for his birth year, no one has ever succeeded in establishing it exactly, nor can we accept, even as an approximate one, the date of 1600 proposed by De Boni, because in 1638 he presented his engravings to the Grand Duke Ferdinando II of Tuscany. He defined them as "young first fruits", which "like unripe fruits wait to mature": what he would certainly not have said if he had already been 38 years old. It is more likely that he was born around 1610, that is almost at the same time as Della Bella, with whom he shared the school and in a certain sense the style. 他在作品上署名為Bazzicaluva（即使只有一個z）或Bezzicaluve；但這個姓氏，已經作為綽號使用，在他的家族中是相當近期的，因為他的祖先被稱為「Fregoni」，我們可以從一份1599年的文件中推斷出來，其中提到了一位「Alessandro Fregoni aliter Bezzica l'Uve」。 1641年，即在巴齊卡盧瓦獻給大公的那部「寥寥無幾且虛構的國度」出版三年之後——他曾祝願大公擁有「如此眾多的真實世界，連阿那克薩哥拉都無法想像」——巴托洛梅奧·博基尼的悲劇英雄史詩《智者的瘋狂》（又稱《蘭貝塔喬》）問世，書中配有13幅由巴齊卡盧瓦繪製的小型插圖，這些插圖呼應了他作為一個人所最喜愛度日的兵器轟鳴之聲。 除了是一名雕刻師外，巴齊卡盧瓦還擔任大公的野戰大師、因斯布魯克的宮廷侍從長、里窩那要塞的要塞司令以及錫耶那要塞的總督。 1641年的四個軍事場景恰好包括：兩次騎兵衝鋒、一場海戰、一次騎兵行軍，而在最早的「虛構國家」中，甚至還有追逐奔馬和匪徒襲擊的場景。 Bazzicaluva earned the praise of another powerful man of his time, Alessandro Visconti, who, by family tradition and personal inclination, fancied hunting, and he dedicated a series of "hunts" to him: the Departure, the Return, the Wild Boar Hunt, the Navigable River, the Stop, as well as the Appointment, a Landscape in a round frame and a Strange Entrance to the Monastery. 他是吉羅拉莫·帕里吉的學生，並成為里窩那城堡的城主。巴奇描述了他的七幅版畫，布魯利奧特則描述了其他作品。他的作品包括《凱旋遊行》和十二幅風景畫。他被視為斯特凡諾·德拉·貝拉和雅克·卡洛風格的追隨者。他為佩夏的聖斯蒂法諾與尼科勞教堂繪製了一幅布面油畫。
