Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of ivory sculpture from the Renaissance through the present day. Once a favored medium of the Middle Ages used to depict religious scenes and figures, the author argues that the Renaissance and Baroque periods witnessed a shift towards secular and allegorical themes with intricate carving and technical virtuosity. Focusing on the 17th and 18th centuries, the book highlights significant artists and their masterpieces, examining the influence of painting, sculpture, and the decorative arts on ivory sculpture. It delves into the reasons for the decline of this art form in the 19th century and its persistence in the 20th century, offering a comprehensive overview of ivory sculpture and its place in art history. The author's insights shed light on the significance of ivory as a sculptural medium and the dynamic relationship between art and cultural trends across different eras.
