Vasari for Bindo Altoviti
Christ Carrying the Cross
- ACC Distributed publishers
- by Barbara Agosti, Michela Corso & Carlo Falciani
The catalogue presents Christ Carrying the Cross, recently rediscovered by Carlo Falciani in a private collection, which was born out of the intense friendship between the painter and art historian Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) with Bindo Altoviti (1491-1557), important banker and refined art collector and patron. The artwork was painted in 1553, just before Vasari''s return to Florence to take service as court painter of the Duke Cosimo I de'' Medici.

Description
The catalogue presents Christ Carrying the Cross, recently rediscovered by Carlo Falciani in a private collection, which was born out of the intense friendship between the painter and art historian Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) with Bindo Altoviti (1491-1557), important banker and refined art collector and patron. The artwork was painted in 1553, just before Vasari''s return to Florence to take service as court painter of the Duke Cosimo I de'' Medici. The painting shows the extremely high quality reached by Vasari''s production in Rome - where he was working for Pope Julius III and where the Florentine banker Bindo Altoviti had a palace and conducted business - and, at the same time, it shows the experimentations of his manner, characterised by the re-elaboration of modern and contemporary models, in this case works of Michelangelo, Francesco Salviati and Sebastiano del Piombo. Text in English and Italian.
