Description:

The role of sculpture in the visual arts in Italy from ca. 1400-1600, primarily in central Italy, is studied through intensive examination of major commissions and of the sculptors who carried them out. Earlier meetings focus on Donatello and his contemporaries, including Ghiberti, Quercia, Verrocchio, and Pollaiuolo. Thereafter, students examine Michelangelo's sculpture and compare his works with those of contemporaries and followers, ending with Giambologna.
