Bronzes by Jennifer Montagu London 1963 first edition Octopus. Hardcover square octavo. 137 illus in color and bw. 96p.
As an ornament, the small bronze statuette has occupied a distinguished place in the history of the arts from classical times to the present day, with a break in the Middle Ages. Made of molten metal, it can assume shapes denied to sculptors in wood or stone. The author tells in this book of the rediscovery of bronzes in the Italian Renaissance, the methods of casting and finishing, and the gradual development and spread of the art through many parts of western Europe. Among the artists whose work is described are Donatello, Riccio, the Vischer family of Nuremberg, Giovanni Bologna, Francois du Quesnoy, Rodin and Degas. The 137 illustrations of small bronzes will give pleasure. to all who care for creative boldness allied to exquisite craftsmanship.
