Verrocchio was arguably the most important sculptor between
Donatello and Michelangelo but he has seldom been treated as such
in art historical literature because his achievements were quickly
superseded by the artists who followed him. He was the master of
Leonardo da Vinci, but he is remembered as the sulky teacher that
his star pupil did not need. In this book, Christina Neilson argues
that Verrocchio was one of the most experimental artists in
fifteenth-century Florence, itself one of the most innovative
centers of artistic production in Europe. Considering the different
media in which the artist worked in dialogue with one another
(sculpture, painting, and drawing), she offers an analysis of
Verrocchio's unusual methods of manufacture. Neilson shows that,
for Verrocchio, making was a form of knowledge and that techniques
of making can be read as systems of knowledge. By studying
Verrocchio's technical processes, she demonstrates how an artist's
theoretical commitments can be uncovered, even in the absence of a
written treatise.
