A Guide to Sculpture, Venice: Its Origins to the 20th Century

This volume proposes a selection of the most significant works by major artists ranging from the thirteenth-century maestros of St. Mark's to Bartolomeo Bon, Sansovino, Canova, Arturo Martini, and Alberto Viani. These works are illustrated in a series of synthetic, yet up to date and thorough summaries, enriched by more than two-hundred illustrations: a limpid synthesis of the historical evolution of Venetian sculpture from its late-Roman origins to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.
