This is the third in the series of intelligent and lively exhibition catalogues by the Tomasso Brothers, a family richly endowed with great sensitivity to sculpture. Presented here is a carefully selected range of sculptures from the early Renaissance to the Neo-Classical period. Many of the works epitomize the artistic tastes and cultural ideals of their time and provide a rich visual journey through 500 years of sculpture. Works include a rare and significant, early plaque of Madonna and Child by Luca della Robbia; a gilt bronze masterpiece of Cupid astride a Dolphin by Francesco di Virgilio Fanelli; a Farnese Bull by Giovanni Francesco Susini; an unusual and eye-catching terracotta, previously unpublished, of a black man in ragged clothes by Joseph Willems; and a highly original bust of the Emperor Caracalla by Joseph Claus, a milestone in the development of early Roman neoclassicism.
