This is the first exhibition to treat Siena as a major center of Renaissance bronze sculpture. Nearly forty works, including statues, reliefs, candelabra and medals, are on view, some never before shown outside Tuscany. Pieces by Donatello, Vecchietta and Francesco di Giorgio illustrate both the beauty of the medium and the technical and political obstacles Sienese bronzeworkers faced. Giulio Dalvit, the Frick's associate curator, organized the show.
