Sculpture of Tullio Lombardo
By (author) Anne Markham Schulz
This book was shortlisted for the 2015 Book of the Year Award of Apollo Magazine.
In the first book ever devoted to the sculpture of Venice’s most famous Renaissance marble carver, Markham Schulz integrates all biographical data from primary and secondary sources and criticism of every epoch, with her own first-hand study of Tullio’s work over the course of forty years, to create a comprehensive picture of Tullio’s sculpture – its characteristics and iconography, its sources, development, and influence – within the context of Renaissance Venetian art. At the same time, she explores Tullio’s relations to his father Pietro and his brother Antonio, both renowned sculptors in their own right. The text is accompanied by 339 newly made and largely full-page illustrations, many of sculptures which, on account of their height and inaccessibility, have never been photographed before. Thus, every detail of the author’s meticulous and pellucid analyses is made manifest to the reader by illustrations, which not only meet the most exacting standards for the photography of sculpture, but also provide a treasury of gorgeous images.
