| Summary: | In 1569, Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) completed a painting of the Madonna of the Rosary for the private chapel of the Capponi family in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. In his Ricordanze (Book of Records), Vasari explained the commission as well as documenting the assistance of his Florentine pupil, Jacopo Zucchi (1541-1590), in the completion of this painting. This essay discusses Vasari’s symbolism of the rosary as a reflection of the Tridentine Reform in Florence as well as a visual interpretation of Italian Mannerist painters on this devotional subject. |
