This is the first monograph dedicated to Riccio, one of the greatest - and least-known - bronze masters of the Renaissance. The publication focuses on Riccio's autograph works and illustrates more than thirty statuettes and reliefs from each phase of his career, as well as the few bronzes believed to be derived from the master's lost compositions. Accompanying an exhibition at The Frick Collection, New York, the book includes essays on Riccio's life and career, and on the artist and the small bronze as an art form, by leading scholars in the fields of Renaissance sculpture. The catalogue contains detailed entries on each sculpture and is richly illustrated with new photographs of Riccio's bronzes.Current scholarship primarily presents Riccio as an antiquarian whose sculptures satisfied the erudite tastes of a closed circle of Paduan humanist collectors. This publication aims to change these perceptions by presenting bronzes that reveal Riccio to be a sculptor whose creative genius equaled that of Donatello, whose understanding of antiquity rivaled Mantegna's, and whose ability to express human passion could approach Leonardo's own. The aesthetic impact generated by presenting Riccio's small bronzes together emphasizes that his art, like that of all great Renaissance masters, expressed universal themes that speak to as wide an audience today as they did then.

Seller's Description:
VG-(slight shelfwear to wraps and block edges, otherwise crisp and clear) Brown cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine, white illustrated dj, xx, 345 pp, profusely illustrated in bw and color. "This scholarly catalogue accompanies The Frick Collection's Andrea Riccio: Renaissance Master of Bronze, the first monographic exhibition dedicated to Andrea Briosco, called Riccio. Although Riccio is acknowledged to be one of the greatest bronze sculptors of the Renaissance, he is still understudied, and the last monograph dedicated to him dates from 1927. Current Riccio scholarship has tended to be narrowly focused, and suffers from the presupposition that Riccio was primarily an antiquarian whose sculptures satisfied the erudite tastes of a closed circle of Paduan humanist collectors. Andrea Riccio: Renaissance Master of Bronze dramatically challenges these outdated perceptions." "The catalogue features essays by the organizing curators and leading scholars on Riccio's life and career, Riccio and the small bronze as art form, as well as a technical study of his casting technique. It includes detailed scholarly entries for each sculpture and is richly illustrated with new photography. By providing a cogent image of Riccio's autograph production, this catalogue offers an essential first step for future Riccio studies."--Jacket.
