Employing a range of methodologies, Anne Markham Schulz tackles problems of long-standing in the history of Venetian Renaissance sculpture; her solutions have often changed the narrative of its development and an estimation of its worth. Through the stylistic and iconographic examination of sculptures, some previously unknown, together with published and unpublished documents and sources, and matched by abundant illustrations made especially for the purpose of debate, she resolves questions of attribution, function, meaning, and chronology of works by established sculptors, such as Pietro, Tullio, and Antonio Lombardo, and introduces to the history of Venetian art notable sculptors whose traces disappeared centuries ago, such as Antonio Bonvicino, Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino, Bartolomeo Terrandi, and Simone Bianco. Her articles, which have provided fixed points in the historiography of Venetian Renaissance sculpture, are here republished and brought up to date with postscripts by the author.
