The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Met Podcast
In this recent Met Podcast episode, curator Carmen Bambach discusses Agnolo Bronzino (Italian, 1503–1572), an intellectual painter and poet of extraordinarily elegant sensibilities. The current exhibition "The Drawings of Bronzino" is the first to present nearly all the known drawings by or attributed to this leading Italian Mannerist. Learn more about the exhibition.
