The first book to be dedicated to the topic, Patronage and Italian
Renaissance Sculpture reappraises the creative and intellectual
roles of sculptor and patron. The volume surveys artistic
production from the Trecento to the Cinquecento in Rome, Pisa,
Florence, Bologna, and Venice. Using a broad range of approaches,
the essayists question the traditional concept of authorship in
Italian Renaissance sculpture, setting each work of art firmly into
a complex socio-historical context. Emphasizing the role of the
patron, the collection re-assesses the artistic production of such
luminaries as Michelangelo, Donatello, and Giambologna, as well as
lesser-known sculptors. Contributors shed new light on the
collaborations that shaped Renaissance sculpture and its reception.
