- Summary
- Ambitious Form describes the transformation of Italian sculpture during the neglected half century between the death of Michelangelo and the rise of Bernini. The book follows the Florentine careers of three major sculptors- Giambologna, Bartolomeo Ammanati, and Vincenzo Danti- as they negotiated the politics of the Medici court and eyed one another's work, setting new aims for their art in process. Michael Cole shows how the concerns of central Italian artists changed during the last decades of the Cinquecento.--[book jacket]
