<div>The decades from 1500 to 1550 in Florence encompassed one of the most original and outstanding periods in the entire history of art. This gloriously illustrated book gathers and describes many of the beloved paintings, drawings, and sculptures created by the greatest masters of the period along with less familiar but equally beautiful and intriguing works. The contributors to the volume explore the masterpieces of Florence and challenge conventional interpretations of the evolution of this art.The book outlines the historical context of the Florentine High Renaissance and then discusses&nbsp; drawings, paintings, and sculpture in turn. Focusing on major artists and their contemporaries and allies, the authors demonstrate the great importance of drawing during this period and show that there was a consistency in the brand of creativity found in such artists as Michelangelo, Fiorentino, Cellini, and Bronzino. The authors question the relevance of terms like High Renaissance and Mannerism, and they contend that, contrary to commonly held assumptions, there was no strong stylistic division between art produced in Florence before and after the death of Raphael in 1520.</div>

This is the first exhibition catalogue dedicated to Pier Francesco Foschi (1502 - 1567), a highly prolific and fashionable Florentine painter whose career spanned almost five decades. Despite his success during his life, he fell into nearly complete obscurity after his death. This volume offers a timely and critical reevaluation of this versatile and innovative Renaissance artist, featuring paintings and drawings by Foschi and his contemporaries along with decorative arts objects that provide insight into the world of wealthy 16th-century Florentines. It includes essays by Nelda Damiano, Pierre Daura Curator of European Art, Georgia Museum of Art, and the organizing curator for the exhibition; Simone Giordani, professor of art history at "Aurelio Saffi" Institute, Florence; David Franklin, curator with the Archive of Modern Conflict, Thomson Collection, Toronto and London, UK; and Elizabeth Currie, freelance lecturer and author specializing in the history of fashion and textiles. Each image in the exhibition is illustrated full page with numerous comparatives. Damiano, Giordano, Franklin, Currie, Philippe Costamagna, Dale L. Couch, Ian Hicks, Amanda Hilliam, Robert G. La France, Amanda Mikolic and Perri Lee Roberts.
