About This Book
This work presents sixteen photographic reproductions of fifteenth-century Tuscan sculpture by Donatello, the Della Robbia family, Mino da Fiesole, and others, accompanied by interpretive text. An introductory essay outlines characteristic qualities of the period, emphasizing expressive individuality, varied forms such as equestrian statues, sepulchral monuments, devotional figures, and decorative reliefs, and technical concerns like drapery and naturalism. Supporting material includes brief biographies of the sculptors, a historical directory of the pictured works, suggestions for further reading, and a pronunciation guide. Together the images and commentary aim to clarify visual details and critical observations that illuminate the methods and formal range of fifteenth-century Tuscan carving.
