"Pier Francesco Foschi was an artist largely unknown to art historians until he was rediscovered by [Roberto] Longhi in 1953. He is now considered one of the leading 16th-century Florentine painters. Son of a little-known painter called Jacopo di Domenico, Foschi trained in his native city in the studio of Andrea del Sarto. Among the first references to the artist is one of 1536 when he was to be found working on the decoration of the loggia in the Villa di Careggi under the supervision of Pontormo. . . . Foschi's mature style combines elements from Del Sarto with the influence of contemporary Florentine painters such as Sogliani, Bacchiacca and Bandinelli, but above all Pontormo and Bronzino. Some of Foschi's paintings, particularly his portraits, have been erroneously attributed to the latter two artists."
