Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this excerpt from a book in the National Library of Naples, art historian Nello Tarchiani constructs a rich analysis of the famous portrait of Piero di Domenico de' Medici, found in the front pages of a first edition of Homer's works from 1488. The author uses the portrait to examine the artistic and historical context of the era. Tarchiani provides a detailed description of the portrait, remarking on its Florentine style, the distinctive clothing, and lavish use of color. He suggests that the portrait was likely commissioned as a tribute to Piero, the eldest son of Lorenzo de' Medici, the dedicatee of the book. The author builds his case by comparing the portrait to other known depictions of Piero. He examines a terracotta bust attributed to Piero Pollaiuolo and an engraving by Cristoforo dell'Altissimo, both of which bear some resemblance to the portrait in question. The significance of this discussion goes beyond establishing the identity of the sitter in the portrait. It is a valuable study of a historical figure in relation to the art and culture of his time. Tarchiani's careful analysis sheds light on the aesthetic sensibilities and cultural practices in 15th-century Florence. The excerpt offers a glimpse into the complex and fascinating world of Renaissance art and patronage.
