Antico - Hardcover
The Mantuan court sculptor Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi, known as Antico (c.1455-1528), exemplifies the Renaissance passion for the revival of antiquity. He studied, restored and re-created antique art with unparalleled skill, but also developed new technology and, with his gilded and silvered statuettes, pioneered the genre of bronzes made in multiples. Published to accompany an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, this volume presents the first English-language monograph on Antico, and over 150 colour photographs of his sculptures.

Product Description:
Listed as one of Brian Sewell's Art Books of the Year 2011, this is the only available English-language monograph to date on the High Renaissance sculptor Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi, who earned the nickname 'Antico' with his highly refined reductions of Greco-Roman antiquities. His bronzes were remarkable for being meticulously cast and finely cleaned and finished. His black patination and exquisite detailing, such as gilded hair and silver-inlaid eyes, are characteristic.
