Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> The work of the Della Robbia family constitutes a unique chapter in the history of Renaissance art. Their activity extended over a long period of time and epitomized distinct phases in the development of the Renaissance, taking on different characteristics according to whether the head of the workshop was Luca, Andrea or Giovanni. Sources concerning Luca, the oldest of the three masters, are often inaccurate and incomplete. According to Vasari, the sculptor was born "in the year 1388 in the house of his ancestors, near the church of San Barnaba in Florence. There he was raised until he had learnt not only reading and writing but also arithmetic, according to his needs, as was customary for most Florentines at the time. And after that his father apprenticed him to the goldsmith Leonardo di Ser Giovanni, at that time considered the best goldsmith in Florence. " It is likely that Vasari was correct in affirming that Luca received his first art. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers Batch-FM308-G-7649
