Italian Art
"For lovers of art, Italy is a paradise with an invaluable wealth of works and places" (Art in Italy). Italy is known for its deep-rooted artistic traditions, dating back to the Neolithic Age. Italian art was notably refined during Roman times, the Italian Renaissance, and the Baroque.
While the most well known Italian sculptors emerged from Italy's Renaissance, modern sculptors are following their predecessors' example and winning international recognition and fame. However, where marble and bronze were the preferred medium of Renaissance sculptors, modern sculptors have incorporated countless mediums into their sculptures. Perhaps the most prominent of these materials is wood. Many Italian sculptors have also found their medium of choice to be a bit more offbeat.
This site will introduce you to a handful of renowned contemporary Italian sculptors, who will reinvent your perception of Italian art.
