Beschreibung:
From the time of their courtship until death parted them forty years later, Bartolomeo ammannati (1511-1592) and Laura Barriferra (1523-1589) nurtured a loving relationship with reciprocal support for complementary careers. Their childless union generated two bodies of art, vast and beautiful. Renaissance contemporaries essteemed the Ammannati as a rarity, creative peers in a close marriage, but hsitory has indifferently divordec them, dropping Bartolomeo to the ranks of second best and pushing his accomplished wife into obscurity. Reunited, the couple can return as they deserve, in the entwined lives that enriched their joint corpus and enhanced the fame each won as an individual - she for her poetry, praised by the most prominent men and women of culture in Counter Reformation Iraly; he in his dual as sculptor and architext for projects ordered by popes in Rome, leaders of the new Society of Jesus, and three generations of Medici rulers in Florence
