Bronzino

One of the three great representatives of Florentine "bella maniera", Agnolo Bronzino (1503-1572) is approached here not in the chronological ordering of his works but by genre with a concentration on portraits and religious paintings - in particular the altarpieces and private devotional pictures which are not particularly well known. Abundantly illustrated with superb reproductions of both lesser-known works & the artist's more familiar paintings. Illus., 175 color/39 b&w. 360p.
