Publisher's Synopsis
From Bronzino's stylistic legacy, seen in painters such as Carlo Dolci and Onorio Marinari, to the 19 th century artistic trends, passing through Mannerism and Baroque: the essays of art historian Sandro Bellesi focus on crucial aspects of Florentine Art over a period of about four centuries. Among the leading actors of the fifteen contributions contained in the volume, we find famous names as well as personalities still to be discovered, small and great masters of sacred and profane art, portraiture or naturalism, interpreters of evocative still lives or sensual and fascinating female figures.
