Ligozzi
An exhibition of drawings by the Italian late-Renaissance and Mannerist artist.
Jacopo Ligozzi, "altro Apelle"
"The Bolognese naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi described Jacopo Ligozzi as «another Apelles» due to his extraordinary skill in portraying plants and animals «a’ quali non mancha se non il spirito» (which lack nothing but a spirit). The rhetorical formula Aldrovandi used to express the verisimilitude of Ligozzi’s naturalistic images is deeply rooted in a broad classical tradition; the artist himself achieved the results of unprecedented naturalness through a refined technique, where the fineness of the outline is combined with the variety of the colour. The forty-four botanical plates displayed here are part of the vast core of work commissioned by the Grand Dukes Francesco I and Ferdinando I de’ Medici, now conserved in the Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi. It represents a section of the Jacopo Ligozzi, «pittore universalissimo» exhibition held in the Palatine Gallery of the Pitti Palace and organized in collaboration with the Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe. There you can appreciate the heterogeneous production of the Veronese artist, while this section focuses on a single aspect of his extensive naturalistic production.

It addresses the period’s quickly growing knowledge about fish in its multiple, varied and rapidly changing interaction with culture. This topic is approached from various disciplines: history of science, cultural history, history of collections, historical ecology, art history, literary studies, and lexicology. Attention is given to the problematic questions of visual and textual representation of fish, and pre- and post-Linnean c...
