Synopsis

This book is a study of Andrea di Cione, known as Verrocchio, and his mastery of sculpture and painting, placing him within the broader context of the Florentine Renaissance and positioning him among the leading artists of the era, such as Donatello and Ghiberti. It discusses the humanist ideals informing his work, his synthesis of classical naturalism with Christian iconography, and his exploration of perspective, proportion, and anatomy. The author argues that Verrocchio's profound influence on Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters makes him a pivotal figure in the development of Western art.
