Bronzino's stature as one of the great painters of the Florentine
Renaissance has long been recognized. By contrast, his literary
achievements as a poet have been neglected. Originally published in
2000, this study focuses on the poetry of Bronzino. His work in two
media places him in a distinguished group of artist-poets that
includes Michelangelo, William Blake and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. In
clarifying the meaning of Bronzino's poems, Deborah Parker argues
that they are considerable literary achievements. Importantly, she
demonstrates that our understanding of Bronzino's paintings is
incomplete without careful attention to his creative work as a
poet. Situating Bronzino's achievements within a broader social and
cultural context of mid-sixteenth-century Florence, this study also
contains numerous translations of Bronzino's poetry.
