Description
|
|
|
|
Federico Barocci was among the most admired painters in 16th-century Italy, though the distinction of his compelling altarpieces and their historical importance have not been fully understood. This study, with 100 black and white and 100 color reproductions and more than a dozen full-page detail views, relates Barocci's achievements to changes in the practice of painting. Barocci was celebrated as one of the few painters whose religious works combined the sensuous allure increasingly desired in modern art with profound devotion. Through a close study of Barocci's work and of contemporary documents, Stuart Lingo reconstructs how the painter accomplished his artistic and cultural miracle. "Barocci's achievement, as demonstrated in this ambitious and rewarding book, is stunning.... Lingo's new readings of Barocci's works bring to the fore their complexity, and in so doing, will inform future studies of the painter, and the field, generating considerable reflection for many years to come."—Renaissance Quarterly
