Reviewers of a recent exhibition termed Federico Barocci (ca.
1533-1612), 'the greatest artist you've never heard of'. One of the
first original iconographers of the Counter Reformation, Barocci
was a remarkably inventive religious painter and draftsman, and the
first Italian artist to incorporate extensive color into his
drawings. The purpose of this volume is to offer new insights into
Barocci's work and to accord this artist, the dates of whose career
fall between the traditional Renaissance and Baroque periods, the
critical attention he deserves. Employing a range of methodologies,
the essays include new ideas on Barocci's masterpiece, the
Entombment of Christ; fresh thinking about his use of color in his
drawings and innovative design methods; insights into his approach
to the nude; revelations on a key early patron; a consideration of
the reasons behind some of his most original iconography; an
analysis of his unusual approach to the marketing of his pictures;
an exploration of some little-known aspects of his early
production, such as his reliance on Italian majolica and
contemporary sculpture in developing his compositions; and an
examination of a key Barocci document, the post mortem inventory of
his studio. A translated transcription of the inventory is included
as an appendix.
