This book, the first comprehensive interdisciplinary account of
Michelangelo's work as a sculptor in bronze, is the outcome of
extensive original research undertaken over several years by
academics at the University of Cambridge together with a team of
international experts, directed by Dr Victoria Avery, a leading
authority on the history, art and technology of bronze casting in
Renaissance Italy. The catalyst for this innovative project was the
attribution to Michelangelo of the Rothschild bronzes - two
extraordinary bronze groups of nude men on fantastical panthers -
prior to their display at the Fitzwilliam Museum in 2015. First
proposed by the distinguished Michelangelo scholar Professor Paul
Joannides and validated by the wide-ranging research published
here, the attribution to Michelangelo has now gained widespread
acceptance. As part of this pioneering project, Professor Peter
Abrahams, the eminent clinical anatomist specialising in
dissection, has carried out the first ever in-depth scientific
analysis of the anatomy of Michelangelo's nude figures. Abrahams'
findings have uncovered hitherto unrecognised features of
Michelangelo's unparalleled mastery of the structure and workings
of the human body that give the gesture and the motion of his
figures their unique expressive force. Enigmatic and
visually-striking masterpieces, the Rothschild bronzes are the
focus of this multi-authored, interdisciplinary volume that
contains ground-breaking contributions by leading experts in the
fields of art history, anatomy, conservation science, bronze
casting and the history of collecting.
