An Allegory of Generosity Oil on Canvas 122 X 92.4 Cm (48 X 36 ³/ Inches) Inscribed Lower Right: EST.MODUS.IN.REBUS
Francesco Furini (Florence 1603 - 1646) An Allegory of Generosity oil on canvas 122 x 92.4 cm (48 x 36 ³/ inches) Inscribed lower right: EST.MODUS.IN.REBUS Francesco Furini was a leading Florentine painter of the first half of the 17th century. His father, Filippo, was a portrait painter and his sister Alessandra was also a painter, while another sister, Angelica, was a singer at the court of Cosimo II de’Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. He first studied with his father, and then was apprenticed to Domenico Passignano and Giovanni Bilivert. He was enormously fascinated by Classical sculpture and studied it in the Medici collection in Florence. The other great influence on the young artist was Raphael, whose work he studied in Rome when he travelled there in 1619. In Rome he also saw the work of Bartolomeo Manfredi and Giovanni da San Giovanni. There the pervasive influence of Caravaggio and his followers greatly affected the young artist. Having come from the more conservative mannerist atmosphere in Florence, in Rome he was confronted by a new more exuberant Baroque tradition then on the rise in Rome. He returned to Florence by 1624 where he worked with Matteo Rosselli. Perhaps the artistic tension between the differing stylistic currents of the time enabled him to create his own truly unique sfumatotechnique. His many paintings with sensual female nudes reveal both his fascination with the grace of Raphael and the great tradition of Classical sculpture, both of which are reinterpreted through his very focused study of nature. He produced many life studies of female models which reveal a lyrical beauty that he carried over to his painted work as well. -
I Donatori Nel Dipinto Di Jacopo Da Empoli a Sasseta Di Vernio
I donatori nel dipinto di Jacopo da Empoli a Sasseta di Vernio di Alessandro Nesi ulla controfacciata della Parrocchiale di San Michele Arcangelo a Sas- Sseta di Vernio è collocata la bella pala d’altare di Jacopo da Empoli con l’ Annunciazione, i santi Michele Arcangelo e Francesco, e due donatori (fig. 1). Il dipinto, ben noto alla critica 1, proviene dalla chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo a Poggiole, fatta saltare in aria dai tedeschi in ritirata nel 1944, e fu trasferito a Sasseta unitamente all’intitolazione dell’edificio. Fino ad oggi è però rimasta sconosciuta l’identità dei personaggi ritratti in basso a destra: l’uomo semi-inginocchiato di circa quarant’anni, col volto serio e concentrato, il rosario in mano e il vestito nero secondo la moda spagnola di fine Cinquecento, e la deliziosa bimba in abito arancio e con le mani colme di fiori (fig. 2), nonostante fosse opinione comune che fossero membri della famiglia Bardi. Com’è noto, la contea di Vernio apparten- ne agli Alberti di Mangona fino al 1332, quando l’ultima della famiglia, Margherita di Nerone Alberti, vedova di Benuccio Salimbeni, la cedette ai fiorentini Palla Strozzi e Chiavello Machiavelli. Essi la comperarono per conto di un personaggio che volle mantenere l’anonimato e solo nel 1335 si rivelò essere Piero di Gualterotto de’ Bardi, ricco banchiere e capitano delle truppe fiorentine, che era peraltro genero di Margherita, avendone sposato la figlia Albiera 2. L’acquisto impedì che i possedimenti degli antenati della Alessandro Nesi, storico dell’arte presso l’Istituto per l’Arte e Restauro “Palazzo Spinelli” Firenze. -
Grassi, Alessandro, Michel Scipioni, and Giovanni Serafini (Eds.). Il
Reviews 87 Grassi, Alessandro, Michel Scipioni, and Giovanni Serafini (eds.).Il rigore e la grazia. La Compagnia di San Benedetto Bianco nel Seicento fiorentino. Livorno: Sillabe, 2015. Pp. 215 + b/w and colour illustra- tions. ISBN 978-88-8347-820-8 (paperback) € 28. This beautifully illustrated and richly produced volume accompanied a 2015 exhibition by the same title held in three rooms adjacent to the Cappella Palatina (palace chapel) in the Palazzo Pitti, in Florence, home to the dukes and grand-dukes of Tuscany from the 1540s to the 1850s. The scope of the exhibition and its catalogue was to focus attention on the art- works commissioned for and by the Confraternity of Saint Benedict of the White Robes (Compagnia di San Benedetto Bianco), so named because of the colour of the robes the brothers wore to distinguish themselves from the homonymous confraternity of Saint Benedict of the Black Robes (Compagnia di San Benedetto Nero). Founded on 15 August 1357 at the Camaldolese monastery of San Salvatore in the Oltrarno area of Florence by three devout men, the con- fraternity soon moved across the river to the Dominican convent of Santa Maria Novella where it was given rooms off the Great Cloister and then, in 1570, to rooms specially designed for them by Giorgio Vasari within the convent’s Old Cemetery (immediately to the east of the church). Here it remained until the mid-nineteenth century, having somehow managed to avoid all three major suppressions that systematically wiped out most of Florence’s confraternal movement (and appropriated its wealth): the Leopoldine suppressions of 1785, the Napoleonic ones of 1808, and the Sabaudian ones of newly united Italy of 1866. -
The Santissima Annunziata of Florence, Medici Portraits, and the Counter Reformation in Italy
THE SANTISSIMA ANNUNZIATA OF FLORENCE, MEDICI PORTRAITS, AND THE COUNTER REFORMATION IN ITALY by Bernice Ida Maria Iarocci A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Bernice Iarocci 2015 THE SANTISSIMA ANNUNZIATA OF FLORENCE, MEDICI PORTRAITS, AND THE COUNTER REFORMATION IN ITALY Bernice Ida Maria Iarocci Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2015 A defining feature of the Counter-Reformation period is the new impetus given to the material expression of devotion to sacred images and relics. There are nonetheless few scholarly studies that look deeply into the shrines of venerated images, as they were renovated or decorated anew during this period. This dissertation investigates an image cult that experienced a particularly rich elaboration during the Counter-Reformation – that of the miracle-working fresco called the Nunziata, located in the Servite church of the Santissima Annunziata in Florence. By the end of the fifteenth century, the Nunziata had become the primary sacred image in the city of Florence and one of the most venerated Marian cults in Italy. My investigation spans around 1580 to 1650, and includes texts related to the sacred fresco, copies made after it, votives, and other additions made within and around its shrine. I address various components of the cult that carry meanings of civic importance; nonetheless, one of its crucial characteristics is that it partook of general agendas belonging to the Counter- Reformation movement. That is, it would be myopic to remain within a strictly local scope when considering this period. -

From Michelangelo, Pontormo and Giambologna Palazzo Strozzi, 21 September 2017–21 January 2018 #500Firenze A unique event bringing together, for the very first time, a collection of absolute masterpieces by Michelangelo, Andrea del Sarto, Rosso Fiorentino, Bronzino, Giorgio Vasari, Santi di Tito and Giambologna from Italy and abroad, many of them specially restored for the occasion. From 22 September 2017 to 21 January 2018 Palazzo Strozzi will be hosting The Cinquecento in Florence, a spectacular exhibition devoted to the art of the second half of the 16th century in the city, bringing together works by such artists as Michelangelo, Andrea del Sarto, Rosso Fiorentino, Pontormo, Bronzino, Giorgio Vasari, Santi di Tito and Giambologna. The final act in a trilogy of exhibitions curated by Carlo Falciani and Antonio Natali that began with Bronzino in 2010 and was followed by Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino in 2014, the exhibition explores an era of outstanding cultural and intellectual talent, the second half of the 16th century in Florence, in a heated debate between the "modern manner" and the Counter-Reformation, between the sacred and the profane: an extraordinary age for the history of art in Florence, marked by the Council of Trent and by the personality of Francesco I de' Medici, one of the greatest figures in the history of courtly patronage of the arts in Europe. -
