Ambitious Form: Giambologna, Ammanati and Danti in Florence
Michael W. Cole

This book explores the transformation of Italian sculpture during the half century between the death of Michelangelo and the rise of Bernini. Through a comparison of the careers of Giambologna, Ammanati and Danti, Cole explores the late 16th-century shift in sculptors’ concerns (towards pose, individualised characters, abstraction and architecture) to offer a fascinating overview of a neglected period.
