Italian Gothic sculpture

"Italian Gothic Sculpture c. 1250-c. 1400 examines the sculpture produced in a variety of genres and media throughout the Italic peninsula, from the late medieval period until the beginning of the early modern era. Arguing that Italian Gothic sculpture is neither a provincial offshoot of northern Gothic art nor a mere preparation for the Early Renaissance, Anita Moskowitz demonstrates that this body of artworks is distinguished by a unique visual language and syntax. Tracing the developments of Italian sculpture, from Nicola Pisano's arrival in Tuscany around 1250 through the end of the fourteenth century, this volume surveys developments in Central Italy as well as those in Naples, Campania, Lombardy, and the Veneto. This study incorporates the most recent scholarly findings, including archival and archaeological discoveries and restoration and conservation efforts. Italian Gothic Sculpture also addresses broad questions of politics, patronage, and piety - topics that offer new ways of looking at and thinking about works of art."--Jacket.
