As a complement to a significant exhibition . . . the catalogue s great strength lies in its contextual essays. . . . The technical accounts by Tucker and his assistants admirably clarify Pontormo s working methods and technique. The catalogue is provided with a useful glossary and index. While some of the entries are bound to provoke much scholarly debate, Strehlke s catalogue provides fine plates, supplementary illustrations, and comprehensive bibliographies for each entry, all of which are of enormous use to scholars and students seeking to understand and clarify this complex period in the development of Florentine portraiture and its patronage.
