Introduction by Carmen Bambach, curator, Drawings and Prints, The Metropolitan Museum of Art

This exhibition is the first ever dedicated to Agnolo Bronzino (1503 - 1572), and presents nearly all the known drawings by or attributed to this leading Italian Mannerist artist, who was active primarily in Florence. A painter, draftsman, academician, and enormously witty poet, Bronzino became famous as the court artist to the Duke Cosimo I de' Medici and his beautiful wife, the Duchess Eleonora di Toledo. This monographic exhibition contains approximately sixty drawings from European and North American collections, many of which have never before been on public view.

Beautiful exhibitio!! I would to see " Allegory of Venus and Cupid" at National Gallery but I understand it one of the exception to lend this beautiful piece to be part of the exhibition.
Thank you so much!!

I'm afraid the sound volume keeps dropping out. I've tried watching this from different devices without success.

There is no point of uploading material with such a poor sound.
