This exhibition revives and celebrates the once forgotten Renaissance artist, Pier Francesco Foschi. Born to a family of painters and groomed under Andrea del Sarto, Foschi's paintings highlight his innovative use of color, light and shadow. Eventually, Foschi began to contribute to the collections of renowned Florentine families like the Medicis and the Puccis.
The exhibition brings together over 40 autographed works of the artist, including the altarpiece, The Holy Family with Young Saint John the Babtist (1526-1530). The exhibition is divided into 5 segments, tracing his evolution as del Sarto's protege to his rise in fame, as evidenced by his later paintings and altar pieces.
The Pier Francesco Foschi (1502-1567) Pittore Fiorentino curated by Cecilie Holberg is currently showing at the Accademia Gallery. The exhibition celebrates the work of Florentine Renaissance painter Foschi, tracing his development as an apprentice under Andrea del Sarto to creating magnificent altar pieces.
