Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * The Medicis are so well-known that the recent series Medici: Masters of Florence was broadcast in 190 countries* These are the portraits that the family kept for itself and they are housed in the museums (Uffizi and Pitti Palace) that house their collectionsThe Medici family ruled unofficially and later as dukes the city of Florence and Tuscany, from the end of 14th to the end of the 18th century. Under their patronage the Renaissance was born. The members of this powerful family were able to build their public image in a sophisticated cultural environment where famous artists such as Raphael, Pontormo, Bronzino, Vasari, as well as poets, men of letters, scientists, humanists, were active. Portraits played an important role in this public relations strategy. The portrait types were quite different: from State portraits to family portraits, from those depicting the young heirs of the family name to those of the women that either ruled or played important roles in the dynastic allegiances. In this guide the marvellous works, held in Florence's Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Pitti, are presented in chronological order making possible to trace the main stages in the history and genealogy of the Medici family.

This book was released on 2021-04-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1512 and 1570, Florence underwent dramatic political transformations. As citizens jockeyed for prominence, portraits became an essential means not only of recording a likeness but also of conveying a sitter’s character, social position, and cultural ambitions. This fascinating book explores the ways that painters (including Jacopo Pontormo, Agnolo Bronzino, and Francesco Salviati), sculptors (such as Benvenuto Cellini), and artists in other media endowed their works with an erudite and self-consciously stylish character that made Florentine portraiture distinctive. The Medici family had ruled Florence without interruption between 1434 and 1494. Following their return to power in 1512, Cosimo I de’ Medici, who became the second Duke of Florence in 1537, demonstrated a particularly shrewd ability to wield culture as a political tool in order to transform Florence into a dynastic duchy and give Florentine art the central position it has held ever since. Featuring more than ninety remarkable paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and medals, this volume is written by a team of leading international authors and presents a sweeping, penetrating exploration of a crucial and vibrant period in Italian art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with the Philadelphia Museum of Art This book accompanies an exhibition of the same name held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art upon the completion of conservation of Pontormo's famous portrait of Duke Alessandro de' Medici. Centering on Pontormo's painting and Agnolo Bronzino's equally renowned depiction of another Medici duke, Cosimo I, the exhibition of some fifty sixteenth-century works from American and European collections explores the ways in which these artists changed the Renaissance portrait during this tumultuous period in Florence's history. In his catalogue entries, Carl Brandon Strehlke surveys the history and multifaceted significance of the Medici portraits and other paintings, drawings, coins, medals, books, and prints in the exhibition, offering a wealth of insights into the Medici dukes and the artists who served them. This fully illustrated volume also features Elizabeth Cropper's thought-provoking essay "Pontormo and Bronzino in Philadelphia: A Double Portrait," which explores the rich cultural and artistic background behind these artists' portraiture. The two Philadelphia portraits offer fascinating private views of important rulers of Renaissance Florence. An essay by Mark S. Tucker and colleagues discusses findings from the recent conservation of Pontormo's portrait of Alessandro. A glossary, a genealogy of the Medici family, and a bibliography complete this publication. The book will accompany an exhibition to be held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from November 20, 2004, to February 13, 2005.

Book excerpt: Il catalogo, realizzato in occasione della mostra veneziana a palazzo Fianchetti (27 gennaio - 6 maggio 2007), presenta la prestigiosa collezione di autoritratti degli Uffizi attraverso un panorama espositivo di circa settanta opere pittoriche di eccezionale qualità artistica. L'immagine riflessa di Narciso che cerca un'identità nascosta è da sempre motivo di ricerca per l'introspezione personale dell'artista attraverso i secoli: da Filippino Lippi a Raffaello; da Tintoretto a Guido Reni; fino ai protagonisti del Novecento e dell'arte contemporanea, il tema stimolante della scoperta dell'Io caratterizza il percorso personale di ognuno fino al tradimento della personalità. L'affascinante percorso di questo volume rivela il lato oscuro dell'identità alterata; attraverso una sorta di viaggio a ritroso nel tempo sarà possibile conoscere il volto e la personalità di alcuni tra i protagonisti della scena artistica internazionale: dal XV e XVI secolo con la presenza di Filippino Lippi, Raffaello, Primaticcio, Tintoretto, Guido Reni, Annibale Carracci; fino al XIX secolo con le testimonianze di Francesco Hayez, Giovanni Fattori, Giovanni Boldini, Giuseppe Pelizza da Volpedo; per arrivare poi ai protagonisti del Novecento e del Contemporaneo quali: Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carrà, Marc Chagall, Michelangelo Pistoletto e numerosi altri.

Book excerpt: Italy's most famous museum, the Uffizi in Florence, houses a spectacular collection of Renaissance art as well as works by later masters. In the 16th century the wealthy and powerful Medici family began amassing fine art and displaying it in the Uffizi, their showplace palace in the heart of Florence. Ruling Tuscany for another two centuries, the family continually enriched its holdings with works by the best European artists of the time, many of them commissioned or acquired from the artists themselves. When the collection was donated to the city of Florence in 1737, it was, in essence, given to the people, and this ensured that the collection would remain intact in its original building. In this skillful and dazzling selection of paintings from the Galleria degli Uffizi are the greatest works by the early Renaissance artists-Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Mantegna, Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael-and by the later Italians such as Caravaggio, Tiepolo, and Canaletto. Artists from throughout Europe are also well represented, among them Dürer, El Greco, Rubens, Velázquez, Rembrandt, Boucher, and Goya, in this tiny jewel of a book.
