Studio of Bronzino; Virgin and Child with the Infant Baptist; n.d.; oil on wood (poplar); 30 3/8 in. x 23 3/4 in. (77.15 cm x 60.33 cm); The author of this panel was probably Florentine; working in the orbit of the painter Agnolo Bronzino (1503-1572); one of the principal practitioners of the polished and eccentric late-Renaissance style known as Mannerism. The picture's steely line and limpid color; and its figures' marble-white flesh; graceful gestures; and cool elegance of posture; all reflect Bronzino's distinctive visual language.
