These tribulations are best exemplified in the tale of Taddeo Zuccaro, a young lad who left his home on the eastern coast of Italy at the tender age of 14 to pursue a career as an artist in the great metropolis of Rome. His tenuous journey of starvation, deprivation, sickness, and ultimately triumph—sensitively recounted by his younger brother, Federico, who would himself become an artist of great significance—will be celebrated in a major international loan exhibition organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum. On view at the Getty Center, October 2, 2007 through January 6, 2008, Taddeo and Federico Zuccaro: Artist-Brothers in Renaissance Rome is the first exhibition devoted to the artist-brothers that focuses on their relationship and brings together some of their greatest drawings.
