Italian Renaissance Drawings from Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781913645779)

A stunning collection of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italian drawings from Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen

Italian Renaissance Drawings from Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen showcases highlights from this outstanding but still relatively unknown part of the museum's collection. It includes internationally significant sheets by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Pontormo, Pisanello, Giorgione, and Tintoretto, as well as an important group of early Venetian drawings and a number of workshop studies by Fra Bartolommeo.

Published to accompany exhibitions at the Fondation Custodia and The Morgan Library & Museum, this volume marks the conclusion of a five-year cataloging project at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen funded by the Getty Foundation. Many of these Italian drawings are fully researched and catalogued here for the first time. The book includes two essays and 111 entries based on the online catalogue texts prepared by several Italian drawing specialists on the most well-known drawings in Rotterdam, as well as drawings that have never been published or exhibited before, such as newly attributed sheets by Pontormo, Federico Zuccaro, and Aurelio Lomi.
