What does the website of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art say about the 16th century artwork created by Cigoli? (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
Cigoli, a painter of considerable intellectual accomplishment and a friend of the great scientist and astronomer Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), was the key artist in Florence in the late sixteenth century. This altarpiece was painted at the height of Cigoli’s career and introduced to Florentine painting a new emotional warmth and emphasis on color, based on the work of of Barocci and Titian. Some of the details are taken directly from nature, such as the still life around the Christ Child and the rustic figures at the right. Cigoli’s work emphasizes the study of nature together with the work of the masters of the High Renaissance.
