Fifteenth-century Italy witnessed sweeping innovations in the art
of sculpture. Sculptors rediscovered new types of images from
classical antiquity and invented new ones, devised novel ways to
finish surfaces, and pushed the limits of their materials to new
expressive extremes. The Art of Sculpture in Fifteenth-Century
Italy surveys the sculptural production created by a range of
artists throughout the peninsula. It offers a comprehensive
overview of Italian sculpture during a century of intense
creativity and development. Here, nineteen historians of
Quattrocento Italian sculpture chart the many competing forces that
led makers, patrons, and viewers to invest sculpture with such
heightened importance in this time and place. Methodologically
wide-ranging, the essays, specially commissioned for this volume,
explore the vast range of techniques and media (stone, metal, wood,
terracotta, and stucco) used to fashion works of sculpture. They
also examine how viewers encountered those objects, discuss varying
approaches to narrative, and ponder the increasing contemporary
interest in the relationship between sculpture and history.
