Carvings, Casts and Collectors: The Art of Renaissance Sculpture

This volume brings together new research by some of the world's leading experts, exploring the artistic production and cultural conext of Renaissance sculpture from Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise to the small bronzes of Giambologna and his followers. 

The essays cover a range of sculptural materials and forms to cast fresh light on the artists, their creative and collaborative processes, and those who commissioned, owned and responded to their artworks. The papers were originally presented at a two-day conference at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London during November 2010. This event took place as part of the Robert H. Smith Renaissance Sculpture Programme,
