The Performance of Sculpture in Renaissance Venice Hardback
by Lorenzo G. (University of Massachusetts, Boston) Buonanno
Part of the Routledge Research in Art History series
Hardback
Description
This study reveals the broad material, devotional, and cultural implications of sculpture in Renaissance Venice.
Examining a wide range of sources—the era’s art-theoretical and devotional literature, guidebooks and travel diaries, and artworks in various media—Lorenzo Buonanno recovers the sculptural values permeating a city most famous for its painting.
The book traces the interconnected phenomena of audience response, display and thematization of sculptural bravura, and artistic self-fashioning.
It will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance history, early modern art and architecture, material culture, and Italian studies.
