Title: Rosso in Italy: The Italian Career of Rosso Fiorentino
Description: New Haven and London, Yale University Press, 1994. Hardcover. Black cloth boards, color illustrated dust jacket. X, 326 pp. 211 illustrations, many in color; weighs 4.5 lbs. In English. Rosso Fiorentino is one of the most original painters of the entire Renaissance period, and a crucial figure among the so-called Mannerists. This account of the life and works of the Florentine painter and draftsman covers the period from his birth in 1494 until about 1530, when he abandoned Italy for France and the court of Francis I, where he finally received the recognition he deserved. Offering an analysis of Rosso's Italian career and its historical context, this book beautiful, ground-breaking book provides the first monographic account in English of his paintings and the first detailed assessment of his Italian patronage. Illustrated with some of the most powerful works of the Renaissance, this book throws light upon issues of interpretation that arise in very different areas of the study of 16th-century painting and design. In providing a new basis for the assessment of Rosso, it opens up new perspectives for considering the period as a whole. --From the jacket. VG- (Average wear to dj edges; otherwise clean.) .
