Synopsis
The reputation of one of the most original, varied, and exciting draughtsmen of the later Italian Renaissance, Taddeo Zuccaro, has been to a great extent observed by that of his younger brother Federico. The obloquy often leveled at him is largely due to the failure of critics to distinguish between the work of the two brothers. A critical re-evaluation of Taddeo Zuccaro is long overdue, and will be warmly welcomed by art historians, especially those already acquainted with J. A. Gere's mature scholarship and discriminating judgment.
This volume provides a secure foundation of connoisseurship for every period of Taddeo's artistic activity. Mr. Gere's text, which explains why he has chosen to concentrate on the artist's drawings and describes this large body of work, probes Taddeo's personality, conceptions, and working habits. The 176 plates reproduce 138 drawings, most of them previously unpublished and wrongly attributed, as well as a great part of his surviving painted oeuvre, also largely unpublished. These representative drawings, combed from European and American collection, allow us to examine Taddeo's development in detail and are particularly important for the new light which they throw on the hitherto unexplored problem of the artist's stylistic beginnings. This book will be invaluable not only to students of the Renaissance and Mannerism, but also to all connoisseurs, collectors, and specialists in drawings.

About the book >.>.> Though Taddeo Zuccaro (1529-66) and his brother Federico (1540/1-1609) have long been recognized as two of the most influential Italian painters of the later sixteenth century, Taddeo's reputation has been eclipsed by that of his less talented but longer-lived younger brother. In this book an attempt is made to correct the balance by distinguishing Taddeo, for the first time, as a separate artistic personality. Mr Gere, Deputy Keeper in the British Museum Print Room and a specialist in Italian draw- ings of the sixteenth century, who began this study to clear the ground for a volume of the Museum catalogue, has brought to light more than 200 drawings by Taddeo Zuccaro in museums and private collections in Europe and in the United States. In the 138 drawings re- produced, almost all of them for the first time, the course of Taddeo's unusually complex development can be clearly traced; and he emerges as one of the most remarkable and brilliantly versa- tile draughtsmen of a period abounding in draughtsmen of talent an.
