Roman Baroque Sculpture The Industry of Art

This book is based on the lectures I gave as Slade Professor of the History of Art in Cambridge, in the autumn of 1980. At that time I had completed the draft of the text of my book on Alessandro Algardi, and had, in writing it, become very much aware of how little was known about what I came to call 'the industry of art'. - From preface by the author.Although the material is drawn from the sculpture of Rome during the seventeenth century, the questions examined have a more general application. They raise fundamental matters of sculptural practice, and many of the answers proposed here will hold good of other cities, and other time.Montagu, Jennifer is the author of 'Roman Baroque Sculpture The Industry of Art' with ISBN 9780300043921 and ISBN 0300043929.
