Synopsis:

This volume contains papers written in the years following 1986 which discuss both specific examples of sculpture, such as Donatello's Madonna, or broader surveys of a particular sculptor or style. Both stone and bronze sculptures are studied, including garden sculpture and other metal artefacts, for example seals and locks.
