BRONZINO'S CHAPEL OF ELEONORA IN THE PALAZZO VECCHIO
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1993. Hardcover. "Cox-Rearick's ground-breaking book explores the message hidden in the frescoes and altar panels of the Chapel of Eleonora di Toledo, painted in the early 1540s by Agnolo Bronzino for the Spanish-born wife of Duke Cosimo I de Medici. Bronzino, then the chief painter to the Medici court, was largely responsible for the invention in Florence of the highly self-conscious, elegant Maniera style. Cox-Rearick interweaves her account of the Medici biography with an examination of Bronzino's commission in the broader context of his oeuvre." Quarto. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket - as new, still sealed in the original shrink wrap. Fine / Fine. Item #75301
