| Notes | Historians of sculpture have long argued over whether or not Leonardo da Vinci produced small bronzes, but what can be said with more certainty is that later Renaissance makers of small bronzes looked at Leonardo’s work and read his writings. This talk will examine the responses to Leonardo by artists from Benvenuto Cellini to Gianfrancesco Susini, asking in particular how Leonardo’s ideas about painting came to be so interesting to sculptors.―This lecture is made possible by the Robert H. Smith Family Foundation. |
