Synopsis

This book delves into the captivating art of Della Robbia, an illustrious Florentine family of sculptors whose works left an indelible mark on the Renaissance. The author analyzes the evolution of Luca and Andrea della Robbia's styles, tracing their inspirations from classical antiquity and Christian tradition. Through a detailed examination of their renowned artworks, such as the Cantoria and the Madonna reliefs, the book explores themes of naturalism, emotional expression, and the search for harmony between form and spirituality. By situating the Della Robbias within the broader context of Florence's artistic milieu, the author offers a comprehensive understanding of their pivotal role in shaping the course of Italian art and its enduring legacy.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from Les Della Robbia Trois sculpteurs florentins ont illustre le nom des Della Robbia: Luca, Andrea, Giovanni, et leur production comprend tout un siecle, le plus beau siecle de l'art italien. La posterite a depuis longtemps assigne a Luca la vraie place qu'il merite, en le rapprochant des plus grands maitres du XVe siecle, de Ghiberti et de Donatello. Pour Andrea, il ne semble pas qu'on ait encore reconnu l'exceptionnelle beaute de son art, et nous esperons que la vue do ses chefs-d'oeuvre, qui, pour la plus grande partie, sont publies au jourd'hui pour la premiere fois, lui assignera, parmi les maitres de son age, le premier rang auquel il a droit. Quant a Giovanni, il n'eut pas, a beaucoup pres, le meme talent que Luca et Andrea, mais ses uvres sont neanmoins encore dignes d'etre citees apres les leurs.
