In recent years, art historians have begun to delve into the
patronage, production and reception of sculptures-sculptors'
workshop practices; practical, aesthetic, and esoteric
considerations of material and materiality; and the meanings
associated with materials and the makers of sculptures. This volume
brings together some of the top scholars in the field, to
investigate how sculptors in early modern Italy confronted such
challenges as procurement of materials, their costs, shipping and
transportation issues, and technical problems of materials, along
with the meanings of the usage, hierarchies of materials, and
processes of material acquisition and production. Contributors also
explore the implications of these facets in terms of the intended
and perceived meaning(s) for the viewer, patron, and/or artist. A
highlight of the collection is the epilogue, an interview with a
contemporary artist of large-scale stone sculpture, which reveals
the similar challenges sculptors still encounter today as they
procure, manufacture and transport their works.
