- Summary:
- This is the first exhibition catalogue dedicated to Pier Francesco Foschi (1502-1567). Foschi was 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 art objects that provide insight into the world of wealthy sixteenth-century Florentines. -- Page 4 of cover.
