Summary "Tuscan Sculpture of the Fifteenth Century" by Estelle M. Hurll is a collection of art historical commentary and reproductions written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an exploration of the prominent sculptors of the Renaissance era, particularly focusing on artists from Tuscany, such as Donatello and the Della Robbia family. The book includes various illustrations of significant sculptural works from the period, with interpretations that reveal the emotional and thematic depth of Renaissance sculpture. The opening of the text provides a preface that outlines the purpose of the collection as a companion to a previous volume on Greek sculpture, emphasizing the differences between the two art periods. Hurll sets the stage for a detailed examination of the diverse forms and unique qualities of Tuscan sculpture, including equestrian statues, sepulchral monuments, and decorative art for churches. It introduces key figures and their groundbreaking contributions while hinting at the broader cultural revival of the Renaissance, foreshadowing a thoughtful exploration of the interplay between artistic expressions and the spiritual ideals of the time.
