Abstract

Verrocchio was arguably the most important sculptor between Donatello and Michelangelo but he has seldom been treated as such in art historical literature because his achievements were quickly superseded by the artists who followed him. He was the master of Leonardo da Vinci, but he is remembered as the sulky teacher that his star pupil did not need. In this book, Christina Neilson argues that Verrocchio was one of the most experimental artists in fifteenth-century Florence, itself one of the most innovative centers of artistic production in Europe. Considering the different media in which the artist worked in dialogue with one another (sculpture, painting, and drawing), she offers an analysis of Verrocchio's unusual methods of manufacture. Neilson shows that, for Verrocchio, making was a form of knowledge and that techniques of making can be read as systems of knowledge. By studying Verrocchio's technical processes, she demonstrates how an artist's theoretical commitments can be uncovered, even in the absence of a written treatise.

Abstract

The exhibition brings together for the first time extraordinary masterpieces by Andrea del Verrocchio, one of the greatest masters of the fifteenth century, together with fundamental works by artists such as Pietro Perugino, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Leonardo da Vinci, his most famous pupil, on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Leonardo's death. By Francesco Caglioti and Andrea De Marchi and born from the collaboration with the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, which will host a section, the exhibition celebrates the figure of an artist who as a painter, sculptor, goldsmith and draftsman is he was a brilliant interpreter of the values of the Renaissance in the Medicean Florence of Cosimo il Vecchio, Piero and Lorenzo the Magnificent and that with his workshop influenced an entire generation of 15th century masters in Italy and in Europe
