Book Overview
The Uffizi Gallery in Florence holds a major collection of drawings and prints once owned by the Medici dynasty that ruled Florence for more than two centuries. Soon to be on loan at the Detroit Institute of Arts (October 16, 1988, to January 8, 1989), this group of 100 sixteenth-century Master Drawings represents the most extensive and distinguished collection of such works in the world.
Written by Annamaria Petrioli Tofani, Director of the Uffizi, and art historian Graham Smith, this magnificent exhibition catalog offers a broad view of the development of drawing in the styles of Post-Renaissance Classicism, Early Mannerism, High Mannerism, Late Mannerism, and the Early Baroque. The exhibit will include the work of Florentine and Sienese artists, notably Andrea del Sarto, Angolo Bronzino, Fra Bartolommeo, Michelangelo, Pontormo, Rosso Fiorentino, Cigoli, and Vasari. It will also include drawings of high artistic quality by other artists, many of which have never been previously published. A scholarly entry including full references and exhibition history accompanies the four-color reproduction of each drawing.
