Summary This volume provides definitions of the technical terms most often encountered by museum-goers and students of post-antique European sculpture. The book enhances the appreciation of the art form by explaining the methods used in creating sculpture and the terms used by scholars to describe it. Featured are clear, concise explanations to questions such as: What is a socle? What are the steps in bronze casting? What is contrapposto? Written for the nonspecialist and lavishly illustrated with objects from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, this book is invaluable to anyone who wants to learn more about the art of sculpture.
