Excerpt from Tuscan Sculpture of the Fifteenth Century: A Collection of Sixteen Pictures, Reproducing Works by Donatello, the Della Robbia, Mino Da Fiesole, and Others, With Introduction and Interpretation
This little collection is intended as a companion volume to "Greek Sculpture," a previous issue of the Riverside Art Series. The two sets of pictures, studied side by side, illustrate clearly the difference in the spirit animating the two art periods represented.
The Tuscan sculpture of the Renaissance was developed under a variety of forms, of which as many as possible are included in the limits of our book: the equestrian statue, the sepulchral monument, the ideal statue of saint and hero, as well as various forms of decorative art applied to the beautifying of churches and public buildings both without and within.
