Zusammenfassung:"This is the first modern study to focus on the poetry of Bronzino. His work in two mediums places him in a distinguished group of artist-poets that includes Michelangelo, William Blake, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. In clarifying the meaning of Bronzino's poems, Deborah Parker argues that they are considerable literary achievements. Importantly, she demonstrates that our understanding of Bronzino's paintings is incomplete without careful attention to his creative work as a poet. Situating Bronzino's achievements within the broader social and cultural context of mid-sixteenth-century Florence, this study also contains numerous translations of Bronzino's poetry."--BOOK JACKET.
