Agnolo Bronzino

Japanese: ブロンツィーノ - ぶろんつぃーの(英語表記)Agnolo Bronzino
Agnolo Bronzino

Italian painter. Born in Monticelli near Florence, he died in Florence. He first studied under Raffaellino del Garbo, but later became a pupil of Pontormo. He became independent around 1528. He was invited to the court of Urbino, where he participated in the decoration of the Villa Imperiale in Pesaro (1530-32). After returning to Florence, he worked as Pontormo's assistant in the decoration of the Collegiate and the cloister of the Medici villa in Castello (1535-43). He also distinguished himself as a portrait painter, and around 1540 he became the court painter of Cosimo I. He painted many portraits, including the masterpiece of Mannerist portraiture, "Eleonora da Toledo with her son Giovanni" (Uffizi Gallery, around 1545). His style exudes austere and noble elegance with its cold sense of color and precise depiction. After his stay in Rome from 46 to 47, he produced many religious paintings, but they are lacking in brilliance. His other works include the famous allegorical Allegory of Time and Love (c. 1546, National Gallery, London).

イタリアの画家。フィレンツェ近郊モンティチェリに生まれ、フィレンツェに没。最初ラファエッリーノ・デル・ガルボに学ぶが、のちポントルモの弟子となる。1528年ころ独立。ウルビーノ宮廷に招かれ、ペザロでビラ・インペリアーレの装飾に参加(1530~32)。フィレンツェに戻ったのち、ポントルモの助手としてカレッジおよびカステッロのメディチ家別荘の回廊装飾に従事(1535~43)した。一方、肖像画家として頭角を現し、40年ごろコジモ1世の宮廷画家となる。マニエリスム肖像画の傑作『エレオノーラ・ダ・トレドとその子ジョバンニ』(1545ころ・ウフィツィ美術館)など数多くの肖像画を描いた。その作風は、冷たい色彩感覚と精緻(せいち)な描写により、冷厳で高貴な気品を漂わせている。46~47年のローマ滞在後、数多くの宗教画を手がけているが、精彩を欠く。ほかに寓意(ぐうい)画として有名な『時と愛の寓話』(1546ころ・ロンドン、ナショナル・ギャラリー)などが知られる。
