Title: Eccellenza della Statua del San Giorgio di Donatello Scultore Fiorentino, posta nella facciata di fuori d'Orsan Michele
Author: BOCCHI, Francesco
Seller: Martayan Lan, Inc. (United States)
Description: THE FIRST MONOGRAPH DEVOTED TO A CELEBRATED WORK OF ART, ON DONATELLO'S STATUE OF ST. GEORGE Florence, Giorgio Marescotti, 1584. 8vo (15.5 x 10.2 cm), 106 pp., [3] ff., without final blank. Bound in calf, red morocco title label on spine with title gilt. Light foxing on title and scattered leaves, generally in margin and some negligible soiling on a single leaf; generally very good. Rare first edition of the earliest monograph devoted to a specific work of art (Schlosser, p. 391), an enthusiastic appraisal of Donatello's statue of St. George commissioned for Orsan Michele and now in the Bargello: "The treatise on Donatello's sculpture is an important document on the theory of art in Florence in the 16th century" (DA). Blunt groups Bocchi in the company of such pro-Mannerist followers of Vasari as Borghini and Vincenzo Danti, and Bocchi accordingly esteems Donatello as a precursor to Michelangelo. Vasari also treats the statue in his life of the artist (I.1.330 ff.) St. George was commissioned by the Guild of Armourers in part as an advertisement for their wares. As the saint was traditionally pictured as a knight in armor, it hampered Donatello's ability to depict limbs and movement. This the sculptor nonetheless did achieve--and brilliantly--by means of the pose: St. George is shown balanced on the balls of his feet. Blunt further characterizes Bocchi's treatise generally as "typical of Florentine Mannerism in the stress which it lays on movement as the greatest source of beauty in the human figure" (p. 102). Bocchi (1548-1613/18?) also wrote what is generally regarded as the first Renaissance guide to Florence, Le bellezze di Firenze (1591). * Hollis ANN5761/bks; Cicognara 3484; not in Adams; Menchi in DBI XI.72-4; Dictionary of Art IV.198 (Bocchi); Blunt, Artistic Theory in Italy, 2nd ed., pp. 101-2; Komorowski, "Donatello's St. George in Sixteenth Century Commentary by Francesco Bocchi: Some Problems in Renaissance Theory", Ars Auro Prior: Studia Ioanni Bia?ostocki sexagenario dicata (Warsaw 1981), pp. 61-6.
