Hardback. Condizione: New. The Italian Renaissance was a golden age for bronze sculpture, both on a grand scale-such as Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, or Cellini's Perseus-and more intimate statuettes and small-scale functional objects. Bronze, being both costly and luxurious, embodied power, authority, and eternity and emulated the classical past. Yet it was one of the easiest materials to recycle, especially at a time when the need for artillery was ever-present. Drawing on the latest research, and including some 200 superb images, The Culture of Bronze explores the material and making of bronzes and the interrelationships and collaboration between sculptor, foundry, and owner. Encompassing works made for domestic, religious, and civic environments, the book studies the symbolism of bronze, and the bronzes themselves, within their broader societal context.Features works from sculptors including Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacoisi (Antico), Benvenuto Cellini, Donatello, Adriano Fiorentino, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Giambologna, Bertoldo di Giovanni, Leone Leoni, Barthelemy Prieur, Benedetto da Rovezzano, Adriaen de Vries and Agostino Zoppo. …

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Bronze is generally defined as an alloy of copper and tin, but can contain zinc, lead and other elements. The term bronze is often applied to any copper-alloy sculpture. Being both costly and luxurious, it arguably carried the most significance of all the sculptural materials. In the Renaissance, the use of bronze embodied power, authority and eternity and emulated the classical past. Yet it was one of the easiest materials to recycle, especially when the need for artillery was ever present. The Italian Renaissance was, nonetheless, a golden age for the production of sculpture in bronze, both on a grand scale for the religious and public arenas such as Ghibertis Gates of Paradise, Verrocchios Colleoni monument or Cellinis Perseus and in the form of intimate statuettes and small-scale functional bronzes for the home and scholars study, by artists and their workshops such as Riccio, Antico and Giambologna. Drawing on the latest research, The Culture of Bronze explores the material and making of bronzes; the inter-relationships and collaboration between sculptor, founder and owner in the key centres of production, such as Florence, Padua, and the often over-looked city of Ferrara; as well as the inter-connections with Northern Europe. Encompassing works made for domestic, religious and civic environments, the book explores the symbolism of bronze, and the bronzes themselves, within their broader context in renaissance society. Some 200 images will be used to illustrate The Culture of Bronze, making it a valuable sourcebook and an essential purchase for anyone with an interest in sculpture, in bronze or in artistic production in the Renaissance. The Culture of Bronze explores the material and making of bronzes and the interrelationships and collaboration between sculptor, foundry, and owner.
