Exploring the abstractionist giant's decades-long creative rapport with the artists of Renaissance-era Florence.
This volume examines, for the first time, the American painter Mark Rothko's profound rapport with the city of Florence, following a route that starts in the rooms of Palazzo Strozzi and progresses toward two iconic locations, the Museo di San Marco, home to the frescoes of Fra Angelico, and the vestibule of the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, designed by Michelangelo.Rothko's first encounter with Florence was in 1950, when he visited Italy with his wife, Mell. The trip marked the beginning of his fascination with the city's groundbreaking artists of the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. Through an ample selection of works dating from the 1930s to 1970, Rothko in Florence explores Rothko's enchantment with the Renaissance, and in particular with the artists Giotto and Fra Angelico, while simultaneously tracing the course of his broader artistic, spiritual and cultural legacy.
