This remarkable and beautiful new volume examines twenty-three major artworks that were produced to decorate Sta. Maria del Fiore in Florence, better known to visitors as the Duomo, or cathedral, in the first decades of the 1400s. These include nine works alone by Donatello, considered one of the greatest and most influential Italian sculptors, including his masterpiece Lo Zuccone, and The Evangelist John which inpsired Michelangelo. There are also detailed discussions of the gilded bronze doors Ghiberti made for the neighboring Florence Baptistery. The volume includes images of the recently cleaned panels from his second set of doors, known as the Gates of Paradise, as well as photographs of his first doors that highlight the remarkable results of an ongoing restoration campaign. With four chapters by leading scholars, and a catalogue presenting over 50 superb colour plates of the artworks, beautifully photographed by leading art photographer Antonio Quattrone, this volume explains how these masterpieces had a profound impact on the art of the Italian Renaissance. This is a major new scholarly survey, and will become a seminal text on the artistic imagination, creativity and skill of the Florentine Renaissance.

Seller's Description:
VG. Black & illus. boards, black & illus. dust jacket, 200 pp., many color illus. Issued in conjunction with a 2015 exhibition that "offers a close look at the genesis of the early Renaissance in Florence. Focusing on a group of works made in the first half of the fifteenth century for Florence Cathedral (the Duomo), this volume highlights the ingenuity and spirit of competition that drove this multi-faceted project. Sculpture gave expression to new humanist ideas, and Donatello, one of the most influential and versatile sculptors of the Renaissance, was a main innovator. This engaging account places Donatello's major early works alongisde those of his contemporaries--masters such as Lorenzo Ghiberti, Nanni di Manco, and Luca della Robbia." (dj) With thematic illustrated essays by Timothy Verdon, Daniel M. Zolli, Amy R. Bloch, and Marco Ciatti. The annotated and illustrated catalogue addresses 23 specific items. Verdon also provides a visit to the present-day Duomo.
