Federico Barocci (c. 1535-1612) – Eclectic but highly individual painter of Urbino. His refined and emotional fusion of Venetian colore with Central Italian disegno, most dependent on the earlier example of Correggio, anticipated and influenced the Carracci and led the transition from Late Mannerism to the Baroque. Through his many altarpieces, commissioned from as far afield as Genoa, Tuscany, Umbria and Rome, he affected many artists throughout Italy. The sincerity and lyrical pathos of his idiom perfectly expressed Counter-Reformation sensibility. . . . [Especially prized are] Barocci's wonderfully colouristic chalk drawings, part of his meticulous preparation after the life for his painted works.
