| Summary: | "This scholarly catalogue accompanies The Frick Collection's Andrea Riccio: Renaissance Master of Bronze, the first monographic exhibition dedicated to Andrea Briosco, called Riccio. Although Riccio is acknowledged to be one of the greatest bronze sculptors of the Renaissance, he is still understudied, and the last monograph dedicated to him dates from 1927. Current Riccio scholarship has tended to be narrowly focused, and suffers from the presupposition that Riccio was primarily an antiquarian whose sculptures satisfied the erudite tastes of a closed circle of Paduan humanist collectors. Andrea Riccio: Renaissance Master of Bronze dramatically challenges these outdated perceptions." "The catalogue features essays by the organizing curators and leading scholars on Riccio's life and career, Riccio and the small bronze as art form, as well as a technical study of his casting technique. It includes detailed scholarly entries for each sculpture and is richly illustrated with new photography. By providing a cogent image of Riccio's autograph production, this catalogue offers an essential first step for future Riccio studies."--BOOK JACKET.
