Giambologna (1529–1608) was the greatest sculptor of the age of Mannerism, imposing his seductive and distinctive style on the half-century following the death of Michelangelo in 1564. Charles Avery’s major critical study covers the whole range of Giambologna’s work in a fluent yet scholarly narrative and emphasizes his wide and continuing influence on the development of European sculpture. The text is supported by outstanding photographs by David Finn, and the volume concludes with an invaluable checklist of all Giambologna’s known works.
