Canada: Bronzino Competition for an English Translation

Overview

The CRRS has partnered with the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi in Florence and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to run a competition for an English translation of one of two poems by the noted sixteenth-century painter and poet Agnolo Bronzino (1503-1572). The competition is designed to complement two major exhibitions of Bronzino’s works taking place this year: the first exhibition, Drawings of Bronzino, is currently running at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (20 January – 18 April 2010) while the second, Bronzino, Artist and Poet, will be mounted at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence this coming fall (24 September 2010-23 January 2011).

Target Candidates

Scholars, students, and the general public are all invited to participate in the competition by providing an English translation of one (or both) of Bronzino’s two poems touching on the art of painting, that is, either “Del pennello” (On the Paint-Brush) or “La cipolla” (The Onion).

The two winners (one for each poem) will each receive two complimentary tickets to the exhibition in Florence, a copy of the catalogues of both the Florence and the New York exhibitions; and a copy of Florence and Beyond: Culture, Society and Politics in Renaissance Italy, published by the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies of Toronto. The winning entries will also be published on the CRRS and Palazzo Strozzi web sites.Further information on the competition, as well as the texts to be translated and the forms to be used in submitting the English translations can be found here.


Application Deadline

The deadline for the competition is 30 May 2010. The winners’ names will be announced on 24 June 2010. For further information, contact Prof. Konrad Eisenbichler
