Federico Barocci was born in the humanist centre of Urbino, in central eastern Italy, around 1533. The son of a watchmaker, he flourished in a town that had become one of the great cultural centres of the Renaissance, producing artists such as Raphael.
Barocci’s naturalism, heightened emotion, and coloristic brilliance helped set the stage for what became known as Baroque art. His subtle, soft surface textures were inspired in part by the Italian Mannerist painter Correggio.
