The Birth of New Humanism Rembrandt’s Drawings
Dec 072009

I  named my Art School in Tuscany Italy after the famous ‘School of Verrocchio’ because of my great admiration for the Renaissance Sculptor Andrea Verrocchio who ran the greatest Art school ever known (attended by Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, Lorenzo di Credi, Domenico Ghirlandaio).  Adolf Beyersdorfer in 1876 wrote of Andrea Verrocchio:  “Next to his pupil Leonardo, his (Verrocchio’s) is the greatest artistic character that has ever existed. The lofty and strict principles of his studio brought back worth and value to Florentine Art at a time when these qualities were on the point of extinction”.

My 5 minute video about the School of Verrocchio is now available on YouTube
