Repositions Ghiberti as a Renaissance innovator through his material and design brilliance.
Lorenzo Ghiberti was the most celebrated sculptor of his day--praised by Alberti, admired by peers, and trusted with Florence's most prestigious commissions, including the iconic Baptistery doors. Yet his legacy has often been diminished, cast as a decorative hangover from the Gothic era, and overshadowed by Donatello's perceived Renaissance modernity. This book reconsiders Ghiberti's achievement by focusing on his mastery of materials and design across bronze, glass, marble, and drawing. From complex narrative reliefs to architectural ornament, Ghiberti emerges not just as a skilled craftsman but as an inventive, multidimensional artist who redefined the possibilities of sculptural storytelling. By understanding Ghiberti on his own terms, we gain a richer picture of early Renaissance invention and its lasting visual impact.Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
