FRANS FLORIS 1519 20-1570 : IMAGINING A

Frans Floris de Vriendt radically transformed Netherlandish art. His monumental mythologies introduced a new appreciation for the heroic nude to the Low Countries and his religious art challenged standards of decorum. Born into a family of sculptors and architects, Floris refashioned his art through travel, first studying with the humanist painter Lambert Lombard in Li�ge and then continuing on to Italy. These experiences defined the hybridizing novelty of his art, forged by juxtaposing antique and modern, Italian and northern sources. This book maps Floris's hybrid style onto shifting conceptions of cultural, religious, and political identity on the eve of the Dutch Revolt. It explores his collaborations and rivalries, engagement with artistic theory, hierarchical workshop, and revolutionary use of print.

Frans Floris de Vriendt a transformat radical arta olandeza. Mitologiile sale monumentale au introdus o noua apreciere pentru nudul eroic in tarile joase, iar arta sa religioasa a contestat standardele de decor.
