Overview

Excerpt from Historical Handbook of Italian Sculpture In preparing this volume for the press from materials already made use of in a larger work on the same subject, and from those which have been added to the common stock of informa tion since its publication, I have thought it best to speak of Pre-revival sculpture throughout Italy in an introductory chapter, and to begin the work - proper with the Revival. After that era, as the personality of the sculptor becomes more and more pronounced, biographical materials increase, until in the case of such representative men as Michelangelo little remains to be discovered. Modern research is however constantly active in the pursuit of fresh information, so that we can never con sider what we know at any given time as final, but the historian can do no more than avail himself of present acquisitions, and this I have endeavoured to do.
