Carvings, Casts and Collectors
Peta Motture, Emma Jones and Dimitrios Zikos
This volume brings together new research by someof the world's leading experts, exploring the artisticproduction and cultural context 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 onthe artists, their creative and collaborative processes, andthose who commissioned, owned and responded to their work. The papers were originally presented at a two-day conference at the V&A in November 2010 as part of theRobert H. Smith Renaissance Sculpture Programme
