註釋"In no other art form are the ideals of the Renaissance better exemplified than in small bronze sculpture. This book serves at once as a catalogue of one of the finest private collections of such bronzes ever formed and as an introduction to the artists who made such sculptures, the subjects they represent, the purposes some of the works originally served and the settings for which some of them were made. A separate essay provides a lucid account of the ways in which the sculptures were modelled, cast, assembled, tooled and coloured." "The bronzes in this collection range in date from between the close of the fifteenth century and the middle of the seventeenth and include masterpieces by Antico, Bandinelli, Vittoria, Tiziano Aspetti, and Roccatagliata as well as an especially strong group of works associated with Giambologna and from the Florentine foundries of the Susini and Tacca families. The book incorporates and updates the entries in the much acclaimed catalogue of the collection published in 1994; not only are there many more entries but also additional essays which transform the nature of the publication."--BOOK JACKET.
