Produced by the BBC for the British Open University
Illustrates an approach to art history used when the origins of works are undocumented, in this case by contrasting the smaller Renaissance works of Andrea Riccio and the monumental bronzes attributed to him. Examines such comparative aspects as technique, style, function, influence, and type of patronage. Explains that it is not always possible to know exactly what roles sculptors like Riccio played in the long and complex process of bronze casting by the lost-wax method. From the Art in Italy series
