Summary:
This volume intends to analyze some particularly significant moments of a very broad story, such as that of the sculptural production in the Venetian Republic from the early Renaissance to the late Manner (mid-15th-early 17th century), highlighting the complexity and richness of stylistic and iconographic contributions in those years of strong renewal for the local figurative culture. Donatello's language arrived early in the lagoon, already around 1423, through the arrival of some Florentine sculptors such as Pietro di Niccolo Lamberti and Nanni di Bartolo, but the great sculptor's stay for a decade in Padua (1443-1453) was a turning point. Around the second half of the 15th century, the sculptors and architects Antonio Rizzo and Pietro Lombardo, together with the latter's sons - Tullio and Antonio - were the protagonists of this revival season, and actually introduced the stylistic features of the Renaissance in Venice. 00Exhibition: Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca' d'Oro, Venice, Italy (22.04.-30.10.2022).
