Verrocchio by Hans Mackowsky
"Verrocchio" by Hans Mackowsky is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and artistic contributions of Andrea del Verrocchio, a prominent figure of the Italian Renaissance. It charts the evolution of Verrocchio’s career and its impact on subsequent artists, particularly emphasizing his relationship with his more famous pupil, Leonardo da Vinci. At the start of "Verrocchio," the text sets the stage for analyzing the
artist’s legacy, pondering how acclaim affects the measurement of a creator's value and skill. It highlights the insufficient recognition that Verrocchio receives compared to his contemporaries, as well as the richness of his work, which spans various disciplines, including sculpture and painting. The opening section introduces early inquiries into Verrocchio’s influences, his artistic journey, and the environment of Florentine artistic life during the Renaissance, providing context for understanding both his style and the era's aesthetic trends.
