Design and planning carried out well in advance will make it possible to offer visitors not only the latest critical and philological novelties, but also everything else that emerges from the constant commitment of the curators and the scientific committee in the three years prior to the opening of the exhibition in 2010.

 

However, this is not an exhibition conceived solely for the specialists. It will comprise a selection of only works of the very highest level: autograph works by Bronzino and other artists connected with him – such as Pontormo and Alessandro Allori – and by the artists that re-elaborated his style through to the years of Francesco I’s Studiolo. The idea is, through direct comparisons made possible for the first time, to enable a broad public to admire and comprehend the unrivalled poetic heights achieved by the artist.

Finally, it will be possible to study and compare several works, most of them attributed with certainty to Bronzino, that are being displayed to the public for the first time. The exhibition will be divided into chapters devoted to crucial phases, episodes or genres in Bronzino’s work.
