To Florence, to the ways of Donatello Michelozzos were done again, Agostino of Duccio, Desiderio from Settignano. Numerous the sculptors of the second halves the century, carriers of a less dramatic art of that donatelliana: To. Rossellino, vigorous portraitist; Bill from Fiesole; Blessed by Maiano; the lucchese Matteo Civitali; Luca of the Robbia, elegant and delicate sculptor in terracotta, whose work was continued, with smaller ability, from his/her/their nephews Andrew and Giovanni; and finally the two maximum sculptors of the period, Andrew Pollaiolo, from the vigorous and going off sign and the dramatic Andrew of the Verrocchio. Also in painting Florence became the dominant center, while the school senese, after the goticheggiante Sassetta, declined shortly. To Florence, contemporarily to Masaccio, they operated Masolino and the Blessed Angelic, still tied up to the tradition tardogotica, well soon however old, as they show the works of Phillip Lippi, than To. of the Chestnut tree, of Paul Uccello, original interpreter of the new science of the perspective introduced by Brunelleschi, and above all of Peter of the Francesca, one of the maximum artists of the Renaissance, that nevertheless left scarce influence to Florence; here, on to end some century, they were hard-working painters what B. Gozzoli, the Pollaiolo, the Ghirlandaio, Peter of Cosimo, Philippine Lippi, S. Botticelli, in whose refined expressions the suffering of the Florentine society and the crisis of the humanistic culture already reflect him. Tuscan, but active almost exclusively in Umbria, it was the great L. Signorelli. On to end some century they began their activity to Florence famous teachers, what Leonardo and Michelangelo, that influenced deeply the art of the sec. XVI; nevertheless the cultural importance of the city began to decrease to advantage in Rome. In architecture, to the Five hundred principle, they are to signal the works of the senese B. Peruzzi (tied besides to the Roman environment), than To. from Sangallo the Old one and of the homonym nephew, says the Young one collaborator of Michelangelo. This last after all it was the true dominator of the Florentine art and Tuscan of the sec. XVI and it gave start to a thick team of followers in the field of the architecture, of the sculpture and of the painting. Just as continuation and exasperation of the art michelangiolesca (and of that Renaissance generally) the Tuscan mannerism shapes him, that had before in Florence the its uneasy season, enumerating artists, for the tied up to the short medicea, whose refined works are dominated by the cult of the style and by the search of the formal elegance (B. Ammannati, G. Vasari, B. Buontalentis, Bronze, Giambologna, B. Cellini) that it reaches, in some artists, to the drammaticità and the stylistic (Florentine Red, Pontormo) exasperation. The late rebirth of the pictorial school senese must be remembered besides, that had two interpreters that the conciliation of the ways tried michelangioleschi with other in the Sodoma and in the Beccafumi derived by the vanished leonardesco. It is necessary finally to mention the development of "smaller arts", as the salesclerk or Florentine mosaic, that it reached levels of splendid quality in the workshop of the hard stones; the bronzistica, the oreficeria, the ceramics (with centers to Cafaggiolo and Shower), the arazzeria, whose manufacture, founded by the Physicians in 1546, it was the first one in Italy. The Baroque one was in Tuscany more sober than in other Italian regions. The Tuscan art stayed tied up to the classicism of Renaissance age, lately welcoming and limitedly the novelties of the Baroque one.
