Parmigianino
The definitive book on one of the most original and inventive artists of the Renaissance period
Parmigianino
"30 years on from A. E. Popham's fundamental Catalogue of the Drawings of Parmigianino, 1971, this new book investages every aspect of Parmigianino's drawings." "In it, Sylvie Beguin focuses on the artist's drawing style within the context of the Emilian "manner" and its effects on European art in the sixteenth century; Mary Vaccaro traces Parmigianino's development as a draftsman, investigating the connections between his prepartory designs and his paintings in order to understand the creative and often poetic implications of his graphic approach; while Mario Di Giampaolo reviews the fortunes of his drawings with the critics, from Vasari to the present day, describing and commenting upon works which have emerged since 1971. Illustrated with colour and black and white plates, this monograph is an essential, up-to-date contribution to studies on Parmigianino."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Art of Parmigianino
The beauty and range of the work of the sixteenth-century artist Parmigianino as painter, draughtsman, and printmaker make him one of the most remarkable figures of the Italian Renaissance. He was an artist who seemed to discover his style without any effort, and his art was universally recognized as being graceful, or full of grace. In his day, "grace" was understood to be a spiritual endowment, conferring qualities that could not be taught. It was one of the preconditions of natural genius, so highly valued among Renaissance artists. But nothing as effortlessly elegant as Parmigianino's drawings and paintings could have been achieved without effort. It is through a close study of the drawi...
Parmigianino
Mannerist painter, draftsman, and etcher, Francesco Mazzola, known as Parmigianino (1503-1540), was an influential artist in the generation following Raphael and Michelangelo. Cecil Gould presents the art and life of one of the most masterful, sensitive, and elegant of mannerist painters. The volume includes more than sixty paintings and frescoes - from religious scenes to subtly powerful portraits - as well as drawings and etchings. The informative text presents the works in relation to their sources, techniques and patrons; as a result, the author offers new attributions and revisions of the standard chronology.
The Art of Experiment
A showcase of the Courtauld Gallery's outstanding Parmigianino collection. Accompanying an exhibition at London's Courtauld Gallery, this stunning catalog presents works by the Renaissance artist Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino (1503-1540). Fundamentally a draftsman at heart, Parmigianino drew relentlessly during his relatively short life, and around a thousand of his drawings have survived. The Courtauld's collection comprises twenty-four sheets. In preparation for the catalog, new photography and technical examinations have been carried out on all the works, revealing two new drawings that were previously unknown, hidden underneath their historic mounts. They have also helped to better identify connections between some of the drawings and the finished paintings for which they were conceived. This stunning illustrated catalog presents the whole Courtauld collection and sheds light on an artist who approached every technique with unprecedented freedom and produced innovative works that are still admired by artists and collectors today.
Parmigianino: Detailed Paintings
Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola also known as Parmigianino ("the little one from Parma") was an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker active in Florence, Rome, Bologna, and his native city of Parma. His work is characterized by elongation of form and includes Vision of Saint Jerome (1527) and the Madonna with the Long Neck (1534). Parmigianino was also an early Italian etcher, a technique that was pioneered in Italy by Marcantonio Raimondi, but which appealed to draughtsmen: though the techniques of printing the copper plates require special skills, the ease with which acid, when substituted for ink, can reproduce the spontaneity of an artist's hand attracted Parmigianino, a master of elegant figure drawing. Parmigianino also designed chiaroscuro woodcuts, and although his output was small he had a considerable influence on Italian printmaking. Some of his prints were done in collaboration with Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio.

Master Drawings of the Italian Renaissance
"Beginning with an examination of drawing as part of the creative process, and showing how it reveals the artist's mind at work, the author explains in detail the materials and techniques used in Renaissance drawings. It also considers how drawings were used, how they changed stylistically through the period and how they varied in different regions of Italy. It concludes with a brief look at connoisseurship and collecting."--Amazon.
