Book Description:

Alessandro Vittoria's portrait busts are unique in Italian art for their quality and quantity. No other Renaissance sculptor devoted himself so exclusively to portraiture. This is the first book on Vittoria, in English, to analyze the busts and explain their larger meaning in terms of the fundamental Renaissance preoccupation with reviving activity.
