John Pope-Hennessy (1913–1994)

'The Study and Criticism of Italian Sculpture' brings together in one volume ten essays on aspects of fifteenth-century sculpture by the world-renowned authority on Renaissance art, Sir John Pope-Hennessy.

An artist worth knowing more about.

A superb work beautifully illustrated, printed in Japan, by one of the 20th century's greatest art critics with the Paradiso translation by Charles Singleton.

such a badly organized book. most of the time the pictures discussed are on a nearby page----not on the page. sometimes I could not find the pictures being taken about. sometimes 3 or 4 different pictures would be discussed on the same page. sometimes pictures were discussed and I couldn't find the picture.
maybe it's better to look at the pictures and forget the writing.
