The artwork was painted in 1553, just before Vasari's return to Florence to take service as court painter of the Duke Cosimo I de' Medici. The painting shows the extremely high quality reached by Vasari's production in Rome - where he was working for Pope Julius III and where the Florentine banker Bindo Altoviti had a palace and conducted business - and, at the same time, it shows the experimentations of his manner, characterised by the re-elaboration of modern and contemporary models, in this case works of Michelangelo, Francesco Salviati and Sebastiano del Piombo. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished to accompany an exhibition at the Gallerie Nazionali Barberini Corsini, Palazzo Corsini, Rome from 24 January-30 June 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText in English and Italian. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Officina Libraria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32139808079955,"sku":"9788833670331","price":22.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9788833670331_a76fa543-51e1-4300-83ff-ca12bb9bfc45.jpg?v=1766210419","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/vasari-for-bindo-altoviti-christ-carrying-the-cross","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
