The artwork was painted in 1553, just before Vasari's return to Florence to take service as court painter of the Duke Cosimo I de' Medici. The painting shows the extremely high quality reached by Vasari's production in Rome - where he was working for Pope Julius III and where the Florentine banker Bindo Altoviti had a palace and conducted business - and, at the same time, it shows the experimentations of his manner, characterized by the re-elaboration of modern and contemporary models, in this case works of Michelangelo, Francesco Salviati and Sebastiano del Piombo. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished to accompany an exhibition at the Gallerie Nazionali Barberini Corsini, Palazzo Corsini, Rome from 24 January-30 June 2019. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eText in English and Italian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Agosti,Michela Corso,Carlo Falciani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8833670333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788833670331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Officina Libraria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.20w x 0.30d","brand":"Barbara Agosti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442831110399,"sku":"9788833670331","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01827840-3a87-42cb-80e0-3d2a4ee9b6e4.jpg?v=1777200067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vasari-for-bindo-altoviti-barbara-agosti-9788833670331","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
