Jacopo Sansovino was the leading sculptor and architect of sixteenthcentury Venice. His position and abilities enabled him to reshape Venetian sculpture, and his influence remained dominant long after his death. This beautiful book by Bruce Boucher is the first study of Sansovinos sculpture in over fifty years and the first ever to present a catalogue raisonne of his works.Boucher begins by discussing Sansovinos career chronologically and thematically. He describes how the sculptor was trained in his native Florence and in Rome, how he established himself as a serious rival to Michelangelo, and how the Sack of Rome in 1527 forced him to flee to Venice where he enjoyed a second, even more successful career. In Venice, says Boucher, Sansovino was taken up by a small band of influential patrons, became architect of the Doges chapel, and received important commissions from both the state and individuals. Boucher discusses in detail commissions such as the Loggetta and the colossal Mars and Neptune for the Doges Palace, critically assesses Sansovinos artistic style, analyzes the relationship between Sansovinos sculpture and sixteenthcentury paintings, describes Sansovinos workshop and the division of labor in his major commissions, and explores Sansovinos influence during his life and after his death. The text and catalogue raisonne are complemented by an appendix of documents, some of which have never been published before, that add greatly to our knowledge of the sculptor in his social and artistic context. The resulting book is a superb visual and analytical record of the work and career of one of the greatest sculptors of the High Renaissance.
