New York, Museum of Biblical Art / D Giles Limited, 2015. Hardcover. Black & illus. boards, black & illus. dust jacket, 200 pp. many color illus. Issued in conjunction with a 2015 exhibition that "offers a close look at the genesis of the early Renaissance in Florence. Focusing on a group of works made in the first half of the fifteenth century for Florence Cathedral (the Duomo), this volume highlights the ingenuity and spirit of competition that drove this multi-faceted project. Sculpture gave expression to new humanist ideas, and Donatello, one of the most influential and versatile sculptors of the Renaissance, was a main innovator. This engaging account places Donatello's major early works alongisde those of his contemporaries -- masters such as Lorenzo Ghiberti, Nanni di Manco, and Luca della Robbia." (dj) With thematic illustrated essays by Timothy Verdon, Daniel M. Zolli, Amy R. Bloch, and Marco Ciatti. The annotated and illustrated catalogue addresses 23 specific items.
