Hero's Journey Dream Oracle

Overview

The Italian Renaissance marked a significant period for bronze sculpture, encompassing both monumental pieces like Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise and smaller, functional objects. Bronze, valued for its cost and luxury, symbolized power, authority, and eternity, echoing classical antiquity. Despite its perceived permanence, bronze was also a readily recyclable material, particularly when artillery demands were high. This exploration, supported by approximately 200 images, delves into the creation and characteristics of bronze works, as well as the collaborative dynamics between artists, foundries, and patrons. It analyzes the symbolism and societal roles of bronzes created for domestic, religious, and public settings.
