About this product
Product Information
The first comprehensive study of an important Italian Renaissance bronze-caster by a leading authority. A nucleus of sculptures cast by Andrea di Alessandri , commonly called from his native city, "Il Bresciano," or from his products, "Andrea dai bronzi," has been identified over the centuries. His style has been described as having similarities both with the High Renaissance of Sansovino and the Mannerism of Vittoria, the two successive master-sculptors of 16th-century Venice for whom he cast major bronzes. Andrea's signed masterpiece is a Paschal Candlestick in bronze, over two metres high and with sixty or more fascinating figures, made for Sansovino's magnificent lost church of Santo Spirito in 1568 and now in Santa Maria della Salute. The author's identification in 1996 of a pair of magnificent Firedogs with sphinx feet (which in 1568 had been recommended to Prince Francesco de'Medici in Florence), and in 2015 of an elaborate figurative bronze Ewer in Verona, have been the culmination of the process of recognition. Archival research has at last revealed the span of Andrea's life as 1524/25-1573, as well as many significant facts about his family and patronage. So the time is ripe for this comprehensive, well-illustrated, book on Il Bresciano, a "new" and major bronzistà in the great tradition of north Italy.

This monograph is a testament to the work of Charles Avery, who has put II Bresciano on the map as a leading Italian Renaissance sculptor... Avery has established an impressively substantial oeuvre for Bresciano., Charles Avery has been on the trail of Il Bresciano for decades and ... he makes the case for setting the sculptor alongside more well-known masters of bronze in 16th century Venice., This monograph is a testament to the work of Charles Avery, who has put Il Bresciano on the map as a leading Italian Renaissance sculptor... Avery has established an impressively substantial oeuvre for Bresciano., This excellent monograph is a major contribution to our understanding of Venetian Renaissance sculpture, eloquently demonstrating that, in his best works, he was a gifted and fluent craftsman., Bien illustré, il fournit donc tout le matériel actuellement disponible pour connaître un artiste qui méritait assurément d'être tiré de l'oubli où dorment encore presque tous les bronziers de ce temps.
