Alessandro Allori
Alessandro di Cristofano di Lorenzo del Bronzino
Allori (May 31, 1535 - September 22, 1607) was an Italian portrait
painter of the late Mannerist Florentine school.
Born in Florence, he was brought up and trained in art by his uncle,
Angelo Bronzino, whose name he sometimes assumed in his pictures.
Freedburg derides Allori as derivative, claiming he illustrates
"the ideal of Maniera by which art (and style) are generated
out of pre-existing art." The polish of figures has an unnatural
marble-like form as if he aimed for cold statuary. Collaborators
include Giovanni Maria Butteri, main pupil: Giovanni Bizzelli.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
