"This illustrated work displays the full glory and elaborate details of many of the newly restored bronze panels, the remarkable work of the conservators and restorers who cleaned the priceless doors. In a series of chapters, contributors capture Ghiberti's world, his extraordinary talent at representing human emotion in rich illusionistic settings, the relationship between Renaissance patrons and artists, and the collaborations and rivalries among artists. Other chapters explore the challenging craft of bronze sculpture, Ghiberti's casting and finishing techniques, and the painstaking process involved in documenting and restoring the treasured doors. A chronology of Ghiberti's life completes this volume."--Jacket. No library descriptions found. |
