Francesco d’Ubertino Verdi (1494-1557), nicknamed Bachiacca (also known as Bacchiacca), provided the Medici court and privileged Florentine patrons with opulent works of art that combined the figural inventiveness of Italian artists with lush northern European landscapes. This comprehensive study of Bachiacca’s work in all media explicates the artist’s distinctive, hybrid style and demonstrates that cosmopolitan tastes, not nationalist narratives, inspired the vibrant pictorial culture of Renaissance Florence. It includes a catalog and documentary appendices.
