Bertoldo di Giovanni: The Renaissance of Sculpture in Medici Florence

Renaissance sculptor Bertoldo di Giovanni (ca. 1440â€“1491) was a student of Donatello, a teacher of Michelangelo, and a favourite of Lorenzo deâ€™ Medici â€œil Magnifico,â€ his principal patron. Bertoldo was one of the first sculptors to create statuettes in bronze. With an overview of the artistâ€™s entire oeuvreâ€”including The Frick Collectionâ€™s Shield Bearer, the only Bertoldo sculpture outside of Europeâ€”this major scholarly catalogue is the most substantial text on Bertoldo ever produced. Featured are contributions from renowned international scholars who bring into focus the sculptorâ€™s unique position at the heart of the artistic and political landscape in fifteenth-century Italy.
