Il «ghiribizzoso» Pontormo (Gli Artisti Raccontati Nel Loro Tempo) (Italian Edition) Details
Vasari's depiction of Jacopo Pontormo as freakish, neurotic and solitary defined the artist for centuries. Maurizia Tazartes subtly investigates Pontormo's works and life, and brings to light a master who was cantankerous but lucid, who never tired of experimenting with techniques and styles. Despite his individualism, he maintained friendships with the greatest intellectuals of his time and produced great works for the Medici and republican clients alike. Italian text.
