Item Number: 129267 Title: PONTORMO Dibujos Author: de Barañano, Kosme (et al) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788498444544 Description: Madrid: Fundacion Mapfre, 2014. 28cm., pbk., 256pp. illus., most in color. Exhibition catalogue. Spanish text. Summary: Pontormo Drawings presents a carefully curated selection of 69 drawings, the majority of which come from the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, as well as some from other prestigious European museums such as the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung in Munich or the Albertina in Vienna. The exhibition touches on all the stages of Pontormo’s life and on all the different graphic media he used. The exhibition consists of 60 drawings by Pontormo, as well as nine drawings by other great artists such as Dürer, Lorenzo di Credi, Poussin and Tiepolo, thereby establishing a dialogue between the drawing styles of these artists and of the great Florentine artist, highlighting the specificities of Pontormo’s style. This is the first exhibition about Pontormo ever to be held in Spain, and coincides with the 520th anniversary of the artist’s birth. Running in parallel, and beginning in March, the Palazzo Strozzi is presenting an exhibition about Pontormo and his friend Rosso Fiorentino, focused on their pictorial works. In this way, Florence and Madrid join together in celebrating this historical event. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O.
