Book excerpt: In 1956, Palazzo Strozzi hosted the exhibition 'Pontormo and Early Florentine Mannerism', in which Pontormo's work was displayed alongside that of Rosso Fiorentino, Beccafumi and other adepts of the new and unconventional trend in painting. Almost sixty years later, Palazzo Strozzi has decided to hold an exhibition devoted to only two of that movement's leading lights, Pontormo and Rosso Fiordentino. In exploring the work of the two greatest Florentine exponents of what 20th-century critics christened 'Mannerism', the exhibition, and this accompanying volume, aims to track the chronological development of the movement.

Book excerpt: Rosso Fiorentino was one of the most original painters and draftsmen of the entire Renaissance period and a crucial figure among the so-called Mannerists. This book focuses on Rosso's life and works until about 1530, when he abandoned Italy for France and the court of Francis I and finally received the recognition he deserved. Illustrated with some of the most powerful works of the Renaissance, this book provides a new basis for the assessment of Rosso and opens up fresh perspectives for the study of sixteenth-century painting and design.

Download or read book Pontormo written by Jacopo da Pontormo and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 1994 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacopo Carrucci (1494-1557), named Pontormo after his birthplace, was the main representative of Florentine Mannerism, the seventy-five-year period that links the High Renaissance and early Baroque eras. Following the success of Abrams' Pontormo Drawings, Pontormo Paintings and Frescoes presents in large format an overview of the artist's important works, most of which have been newly photographed for this volume. Influenced by Raphael's late works, Durer's graphics, and Michelangelo's monumental figural style, Pontormo's quest for new forms of expression resulted in some of his most spectacular and brilliantly executed paintings. His highly individual paintings are visions rather than representations of reality; his compositions often include exaggerated forms and unnatural colors. Salvatore S. Nigro, Professor of Italian Literature at the University of Catania, Sicily, has selected over seventy examples of Pontormo's paintings and frescoes. The book includes such masterpieces as the portrait of Cosimo I de Medici, the fresco cycle in the Santissima Annunziata, and the Deposition in Santa Felicita. Each work is presented in a full-page color reproduction, some with details, and is accompanied by a brief commentary. The introduction by Professor Nigro places Pontormo's work within the context of developments in art and literature, and is followed by biographical and bibliographical notes. This volume is particularly important to scholars and connoisseurs of sixteenth-century Italian art; together, the illustrations and text offer a fresh look at this Florentine master and will serve as a record for many years to come.
Download or read book Miraculous Encounters written by Bruce Edelstein and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2018 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacopo Carucci, known as Pontormo (1494–1557), was the leading painter in mid sixteenth-century Florence and one of the most original and extraordinary Mannerist artists. His extremely personal style was much influenced by Michelangelo, though he also drew from northern art, especially the work of Albrecht Dürer. This catalogue brings together a small but important group of preparatory drawings and finished paintings that center on Pontormo’s great masterpiece, The Visitation, one of the most moving and mesmerizing works by the artist. The Visitation represents the intense moment of encounter between the Virgin Mary and her cousin Elizabeth, who reveal to each other that both are pregnant. The painting is presented—for the first time—along with its highly finished preparatory drawing, which is squared for transfer to the larger surface of the panel. The combination of rigorous research and gorgeous reproductions reveals the painter’s creative process as never before. Other acclaimed paintings, including Portrait of a Halberdier and Portrait of Carlo Neroni, will also be shown alongside their preparatory drawings. Readers will encounter Pontormo both as a religious painter and a painter of portraits, in this original and nuanced account of the celebrated artist.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palazzo Strozzi hosts an extraordinary exhibition dedicated to Florentine art of the latter 1500s, the last act of a trilogy dedicated to 16th-century art in Florence, which began with Bronzino in 2010 and Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino in 2014. The Cinquecento in Florence, confronts the development of Florentine art in the second half of the century through paintings and sculptures by artists including Andrea del Sarto, Bronzino, Pontormo, Giorgio Vasari, Giambologna, Bartolomeo Ammannati and Santi di Tito. The exhibition, and this accompanying catalogue, also provides the opportunity to restore important works of art and to construct a wide network of collaboration between museums, cultural institutions and Florentine and Tuscan sites. The result is a celebration of an exceptional cultural epoch of intellectual inspiration marked by the Council of Trent during the Counter-Reformation, and by Francesco I de'Medici, one of the most brilliant representatives of courtly patronage in Europe.
Download or read book Pontormo written by Elizabeth Cropper and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1997 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pontormo's Halberdier has long been controversial. How did scholars come to identify the sitter as Duke Cosimo de' Medici and why is this open to doubt? Who was Francesco Guardi? What was the siege of Florence, and could Pontormo have made this compelling portrait during that time of deprivation and political tumult? In a fascinating piece of historical detective work, Elizabeth Cropper investigates these questions and uncovers new evidence for interpretation. She also analyzes the portrait's relationship to other works by Pontormo, explores the importance for Pontormo of Donatello, Michelangelo, and Andrea del Sarto, and looks into Bronzino's connection with the portrait.

Download or read book The Art History and Architecture of Florentine Churches written by Susan Bracken and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Churches and palaces in Florence have been the subject matter of book-length, often multi-volume studies over the centuries. This book is a compendium of the main churches in Florence and has been written with two distinct audiences in mind: English-speaking students of Renaissance art, architecture, literature and history and the well-read traveller to Florence who wishes to place the works of art and architecture into the wider context of Italian culture. The choice of churches discussed here was influenced by the author’s experience as teacher for several university programmes on site in Florence. The buildings described and analysed are those which students will most likely encounter in the course of their study-abroad stay in Florence, whether they wish to specialise in art, architecture or the history of the Florentine Renaissance. This book represents a textbook that offers concise information on the history, art, and architecture of 25 of the main Florentine churches, provides plans and photos of the façades, and introduces the student to some of the most important vocabulary and the main textual sources of the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries.
