In a world torn asunder by invaders, the wealthy island nation is peaceable and sophisticated, but how can it defend against aggressive would-be conquerors without succumbing to what is most dreaded, the glorification of the warrior culture? And now, the great volcano on Santorini (Heria) rumbles too. Ansel is a gifted yet reserved girl who just came of age. Omens suggest that she is chosen to lead her people, but to what end? And how? Theseus is a troubled young man who is capable of both violence and greatness. Can he overcome his past to become a man of wisdom? Or is he doomed to perpetrate evil within the heart of a nation who gambled everything on trusting him? "She Who Walks the Labyrinth" tackles difficult questions made poignant through the eyes of women and men who face the ruin of everything they care for, yet still struggle heroically to salvage the way of life they so love.

Hardback. Condition: New. This publication discusses a bronze Laocoön recently sold at Bonham's. Its new owners attributed it to Giuseppe Piamontini (1663-1744) 'because of its manufacture and its extremely close proximity to the Doccia model', the model employed for a porcelain Laocoön produced in the factory set up by Carlo Ginori (1702-57) in 1737 at Doccia near Florence.Labelled as French and belatedly returned to Late Baroque Florence (but to the wrong artist), this magnificent group has finally revealed its identity. It is one of the incunabula of an ambitious young sculptor measuring himself with the sculptors of Ancient Greece and their great Renaissance followers of his native Florence. During the day he copied them in the Galleria degli Uffizi and in the streets of the city. At night he gathered together with other pupils of Foggini in the Borgo Pinti studio to study together. The prominent career to which Della Valle obviously aspired prompted his move to Rome. Della Valle helped us interpret the bronze correctly, interpret correctly its attribution in the Doccia models' inventory and by extension understand better that document itself. But most important, our understanding of Florentine Late Baroque sculpture and of Della Valle's art has acquired another firm point of reference.

The Master of the Unruly Children was active in Florence in the first half of 16th century, possibly a close collaborator of Niccolo Tribolo but stylistically close to Michelangelo and Giovan Francesco Rustici. He specialized in terracotta sculptures of small dimensions, a genre reborn in mid 15th-century Florence and pioneered by Lorenzo Ghiberti during his work on the baptistery doors, since the use of clay was central to the production of bronzes and could also be moulded to replicate images which when fired, painted and gilded, provided an inexpensive alternative to more costly materials, such as marble and bronze.

Hardback. Condition: New. This volume brings together new research by some of the world's leading experts, exploring the artistic production and cultural context of Renaissance sculpture from Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise to the small bronzes of Giambologna and his followers. The essays cover a range of sculptural materials and forms to cast fresh light on the artists, their creative and collaborative processes, and those who commissioned, owned and responded to their work. The papers were originally presented at a conference at the VandA in 2010 as part of the Robert H. Smith Renaissance Sculpture Programme.
