The Chapel of Eleonora was the first painted chapel to be commissioned by the Medici in the 16th century. Was the chapel a gift from Duke Cosimo to his bride, Eleonora? Or did she commission a chapel in order to have private devotions in her native Spanish? These and other speculations are addressed in Cox-Rearick's book. Her study is the first monograph on Agnolo Bronzino's Chapel of Eleonora of Toledo. Bronzino, chief painter to the Medici court, was largely responsible for the invention in Florence of the highly self-conscious, elegant Maniera style. Cox-Rearick interweaves her account of the Medici biography with an examination of Bronzino's commission in the broader context of his oeuvre. Cox-Rearick reveals the Chapel of Eleonora as an intimately devised decorative programme that transmits messages about its patrons and Medici rule. Detailed colour photographs of the newly restored art document this early tour de force by a major artist whose works are still relatively unexamined.
"Cox-Rearick indicates that the iconographic program of the chapel was, from its initiation, linked to an astonishing degree to the fortunesactual and anticipatedof the young Duke Cosimo and that the successive changes in the chapel were occasioned by political events and by revised and increasingly ambitious Medici pretensions."Malcolm Campbell, University of Pennsylvania

Oversized Hardcover. Zustand: Good. This examination of the abundantly decorated Florentine Renaissance chapel encompasses its fame as a tour de force of sacred painting but also as a statement within the social and politicaldiscourses of mid-16th-century Florence. This study considers the religious significance of the chapel paintings, and analyzes them in the context of Bronzino's oeuvre; it also investigates the rich tradition ofMediccean symbolism that lies behind and beyond the religious surface.
