Turner, N.J.L. Florentine Drawings of the Sixteenth Century , London: British Museum Press, 1986.

Illustrated by Numerous Illustrations. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 4to 0714116262 Dust jacket complete in a clear protective sleeve. Brown cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership inscription. 272 pages clean and tight. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael are the foremost artists of the Italian High Renaissance, one of the most fertile and inventive phases in the history of art. A selection of their Florentine drawings are here shown together alongside important groups by Fra Bartolommeo, Andrea del Sarto, Pontormo, Salviati and Vasari, which are catalogued and exhibited for the first time. The British Museum's collection in this field is outstanding: it spans the brilliant achievements of the High Renaissance, the finely cultivated style known as Mannerism and ends with the trend towards naturalism associated with the Counter Reformation. With 100 drawings reproduced in full colour and over 100 in black-and-white this beautifully illustrated catalogue presents overwhelming evidence of the extraordinary range and achievement of sixteenth-century Florence.
