Summary

This volume explores the artistic legacy of the Pollaiuolo brothers, focusing on the celebrated Portrait of a Lady from the Poldi Pezzoli museum in Milan, a pinnacle of Florentine portraiture in the late 15th century. It delves into the works of Antonio, a multifaceted goldsmith, painter, and sculptor; his brother Piero, a painter; and the lesser-known Silvestro, whose early death curtailed his career. Through detailed scientific analyses and research on techniques and materials, the book presents a rich collection of paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures, bronzes, and applied art objects from their workshop.

Ideal for enthusiasts of Renaissance art, scholars of Florentine culture, and readers with an interest in artistic craftsmanship and historical techniques.

The art of the Pollaiolo brothers, protagonists of the 15th-century artistic scene, in a volume accompanying the exhibition that gathers for the first time the four Portraits of a lady from Milan, Berlin, New York and Florence.

Description

The volume, starting from the celebrated and fascinating Portrait of a Lady from the Poldi Pezzoli museum in Milan, one of the greatest masterpieces of Florentine portraiture from the latter half of the 15th century, investigates the art of the Pollaiolo brothers. Antonio was a goldsmith, painter, and sculptor, and the most famous of the three; Piero was a painter; and Silvestro, who died young and was soon forgotten.

Based on in-depth scientific analyses and research conducted on the methods of execution and materials used for the wide range of different works issued from the Pollaiolo brothers' workshop, the volume presents paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures, bronzes, and objects of applied art.
