In the midst of the unique beauty of Italy, Florence to be precise, an artist saw the light of day who was destined to leave a deep and lasting mark on the artistic heritage. His name was Bartolomeo Bimbi, an authoritative representative of Mannerism, born in 1648, and his works - especially his still life paintings - are still recognized today as outstanding representatives of their kind. The son of Nicolò, Bimbi was born in Settignano on May 15 and grew up in a world of colors and shapes. He began his training under the guidance of Lorenzo Lippi and later Onorio Marinari. With them he explored the secrets of painting and laid the foundation for his future career. Although Bimbi was quite qualified for figure painting, he revealed an almost exclusive devotion to still life and portrait painting. His trip to Rome with Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici marked a turning point in his career, opening doors to the Florentine court and aristocracy.
The influence of Jacopo Ligozzi is unmistakable in Bimbi's work, especially in his love for the Medici botanical collection. He was commissioned by Cosimo III, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, to fill large-scale canvases with vivid depictions of flora and fauna. These masterpieces still adorn the walls of the Medici villas dell'Ambrogiana and della Topaia, as well as Palazzo Pitti and the Museo Botanico dell'Universita. Bimbi died in Florence on January 14, 1729, but left a legacy that continues to this day. His works have been preserved not only in original form, but also in the form of art prints. These art prints are more than simple reproductions of the original works of art. They are an impressive tribute to Bimbi's incomparable talent and attention to detail. Through these art prints, the beauty of his still lifes and portraits will be made accessible to a new generation of art lovers who will view his artwork with the same admiration as the aristocracy and court of Florence did in his time.
