This study situates representative examples of his religious painting within their respective contexts to demonstrate how Poccetti and his patrons negotiated the increasingly fraught terrain of sacred painting in the period of religious reform. These case studies demonstrate how patrons ranging from the Dominicans to the Carthusians to prominent Florentine patricians relied on Poccetti's skill in creating compelling narratives that reflected current concerns within the Catholic world. In the process, Poccetti invoked an august Florentine tradition of fresco painting, shaping it to better address the demands placed on religious imagery at the end of the Renaissance Analysis History, Art History, and Archaeology HIS Art and Material Culture ART & MAT Early Modern Studies EARLY MOD Religion and Theology REL & THEOL Bernardino Poccetti, Florence, Religious Art, Renaissance Notes "Amsterdam University Press" List of Illustrations List of Abbreviations Acknowledgments Introduction: 'Il primo huomo da dipingere in fresco, che sia in questi paesi': Bernardino Poccetti and the Historiography of Florentine Painting during the Late Renaissance Chapter One: 'Grandemente inclinato all'Arte del Disegno': Filippo Baldinucci's Biography of Bernardino Poccetti Chapter Two: 'Le prime cose lodevoli molto': Bernardino Poccetti's Early Work and the Frescoes from the Life of Saint Dominic in the Chiostro Grande, Santa Maria Novella Chapter Three: 'Locum ecclesiae designavit, quae Ioannis et uxoris pecunia extructa est': Bernardino Poccetti and the Decoration of the Canigiani Chapel in Santa Felicita Chapter Four: 'Miracula et alia id genus': Bernardino Poccetti's Frescoes in the Church of San Lorenzo at the Certosa del Galluzzo Chapter Five: 'L'inventore di dipingere tutte le muraglie della nostra chiesa': Bernardino Poccetti and the Sixteenth-Century Decoration of Santa Maria del Carmine Conclusion Bibliography Index Subject Poccetti, Bernardino, 1548-1612 SUBJECT Poccetti, Bernardino, 1548-1612 fast Subject Art, Renaissance -- Italy -- History Christian art and symbolism -- Italy -- Renaissance, 1450-1600 History of art and design styles: c 1400 to c 1600.
