Abstract (en)

Looks at Bronzino's poem entitled Il secondo delle scuse as a document of his aesthetic ideology and production. Poem reveres Michelangelo and dwells on common faults of painters including poor draftsmanship, vainglory, anatomical inaccuracy, and the tendency to blame the ignorance of viewers. Author notes that, while his views generally coincide with Vasari's, Bronzino valued meticulousness over speed, whereas Vasari tended to question the working habits of those who worked slowly. Features an appendix which reproduces the pertinent excerpts from the poem in Italian and English.
