Publisher's Synopsis
The 'Graceful and True' Exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum is the first dedicated show of late sixteenth-century Florentine drawings in the United Kingdom, and represents a major achievement in highlighting such little-known treasures. While recent exhibitions in Italy, America and elsewhere have encouraged the study and appreciation of drawings from this period, the richness and quality of works from British collections is explored here, for the first time, and in a fitting fashion.
