Early sculpture is separately treated. For “Classical” sculpture see the
articles GREEK ART by Percy Gardner and ROMAN ART by H. Stuart Jones,
both elaborately illustrated and devoting particular attention to
statuary, plate; etc. See also the illustrations in the articles
mentioned in the last paragraph,—especially GEM, NUMISMATICS, TERRA
COTTA; and those in the article ARCHITECTURE and subsidiary articles
mentioned in the chapter of this Guide _For the Architect_. And on Greek
art see the article PERGAMUM and the sketches of the great sculptors of
Greece:

[Sidenote: Medieval]
For medieval sculpture, almost entirely an adjunct to architecture and
particularly ecclesiastical architecture, see, besides the treatment in
the historical part of the article SCULPTURE (pp. 490–496), the articles
ARCHITECTURE and EFFIGIES, MONUMENTAL, comparing with the latter the
article BRASSES, MONUMENTAL (with 13 illustrations).
[Sidenote: Renaissance]
The close of the medieval period and the beginning of the more
individualistic Renaissance are marked by the occurrence of the names of
great individual artists, whose biographies are the best summary of the
sculpture of the period.
See on Italy: the articles NICCOLA PISANO (Vol. 20, p. 648); VITTORE
PISANO (Vol. 20, p. 649); ANDREA PISANO (Vol. 20, p. 647) and the
article immediately following on his son, GIOVANNI PISANO; each of these
four with an illustration; VITTORE PISANO or Pisanello; AGOSTINO and
AGNOLO DA SIENA (Vol. 1, p. 381); ORCAGNA, “the last great master of the
Gothic period,” by J. H. Middleton; DELLA QUERCIA, who “heralds ... the
boldest and most original achievements of two generations hence,” by E.
T. Strange, assistant keeper, South Kensington; GHIBERTI, “the first of
the great sculptors of the Renaissance”; DONATELLO, by P. G Konody;
MICHELOZZO; DELLA ROBBIA family (with 3 illustrations), by J. H.
Middleton and William Burton, author of _English Stoneware and
Earthenware_; LEONARDO, by Sir Sidney Colvin; VERROCCHIO, by J. H.
Middleton; LEOPARDO; POLLAIUOLO; MICHELANGELO, by Sir Sidney Colvin;
BANDINELLI; AMMANATI; and in the 16th century period of decline GIOVANNI
DA BOLOGNA, LOMBARDO family, CELLINI, by W. M. Rossetti and E. Alfred
Jones, author of _Old English Gold Plate_, etc.
On the Renaissance in France: JEAN GOUJON, SARRAZIN.
—In Germany: VEIT STOSS, ADAM KRAFFT, the VISCHERS.
—In England: the Italian TORRIGIANO.
—In Spain: ALONZO CANO, MONTAÑES, PEDRO DE MENA, ZARCILLO.
[Sidenote: 17th and 18th Century]
Some of the names just mentioned are those of 17th century artists. But
the rococo character of the period is best seen in Italy: see the
articles BERNINI, ALGARDI, and, for France, GIRARDON and PUGET. With the
18th century came a classical revival for which the great names are
CANOVA and THORWALDSEN: see the articles on these sculptors, that on
Canova being by W. M. Rossetti. See also the articles on Thorwaldsen’s
followers, SERGEL, BYSTRÖM and FOGELBERG. The more important articles on
French sculpture in this period are PIGALLE and HOUDON, the latter known
to Americans by his portraits of our Revolutionary worthies. For English
sculpture in the 17th and 18th centuries see: NICHOLAS STONE, ROUBILIAC,
by M. H. Spielmann, SCHEEMAKERS, NOLLEKENS, JOHN BACON, and, possibly
most important, JOHN FLAXMAN, by Sir Sidney Colvin. For Germany: ANDREAS
SCHLÜTER.
[Sidenote: 19th Century and Modern Schools]
On the 19th century in Germany see the articles: SCHADOW, RAUCH,
RIETSCHEL, DANNECKER, SCHWANTHALER, and marking a sharp reaction,
REINHOLD BEGAS, and the younger men, known also as painters, FRANZ STUCK
and MAX KLINGER.
On modern British sculpture see the articles: JOHN GIBSON, E. H. BAILY,
THOMAS BANKS, SIR RICHARD WESTMACOTT, and ALFRED STEVENS; and, for the
last thirty years, JULES DALOU, LORD LEIGHTON, better known as a
painter, E. ONSLOW FORD and ALFRED GILBERT, the most influential and
important factors in the awakening, and THOMAS WOOLNER, MAROCHETTI, SIR
EDWIN LANDSEER, SIR J. E. BOEHM, J. H. FOLEY, H. H. ARMSTEAD, THOMAS
BROCK, W. HAMO THORNYCROFT, JOHN M. SWAN, HARRY BATES, G. F. WATTS.
Scores of others are criticized and their work summarized on pp. 501–508
in the article SCULPTURE.
[Sidenote: France]
The 19th century in France opened with a pseudo-Roman school, and among
the names of this period are PRADIER, RUDE, P. J. DAVID, ETEX, and
CARPEAUX and BARYE, by Henri Frantz, who mark a transition. For the more
modern period see GUILLAUME, DUBOIS, FALGUIÈRE, MERCIÉ, FRÉMIET, GUSTAVE
CRAUCK, DALOU, RODIN.
[Sidenote: Other European Countries]
In addition to the discussion of modern Belgian sculptors in the section
on Belgium of the article SCULPTURE there are separate articles on PAUL
DE VIGNE, VAN DER STAPPEN, JEF LAMBEAUX, JULIEN DILLENS, and CONSTANTIN
MEUNIER. For Italian sculpture in the 19th century see BARTOLINI, and
the summary in the article SCULPTURE (Vol. 24, p. 513). Separate
articles on Spanish sculptors are JOSE ALVAREZ and MANUEL ALVAREZ.
[Sidenote: American Sculpture]
In the United States there was little sculpture of native origin, and
virtually none of the slightest merit, before the 19th century. The
following list of articles in rough chronological order will supplement
the outline in the article SCULPTURE (Vol. 24, p. 516): HORATIO
GREENOUGH, HIRAM POWERS, THOMAS CRAWFORD, HENRY KIRKE BROWN, WILLIAM
RIMMER, E. D. PALMER, THOMAS BALL, L. W. VOLK, HARRIET G. HOSMER, J. Q.
A. WARD, LAUNT THOMPSON, LARKIN G. MEAD, G. E. BISSELL, OLIN L. WARNER,
W. R. O’DONOVAN, JONATHAN S. HARTLEY, AUGUSTUS SAINT-GAUDENS, D. C.
FRENCH, J. J. BOYLE, C. H. NIEHAUS, LORADO TAFT, W. O. PARTRIDGE, CYRUS
E. DALLIN, A. P. PROCTOR, CHARLES GRAFLY, F. W. MACMONNIES, GEORGE GRAY
BARNARD, P. W. BARTLETT, HERMON A. MACNEIL, KARL BITTER, BORGLUM.
[Sidenote: Summary]
This chapter, and the one before, outline courses on these arts in the
Britannica, but there are many articles on these topics to which no
reference has been made in these pages. It may, therefore, be
interesting to the student of these forms of art to have before him a
list, fairly complete, of articles in the Britannica dealing with
painting and sculpture. The following is such a list in alphabetical
arrangement. The student should remember that the absence from the
list—or from any similar list in the Guide—of a topic on which he wishes
information does not mean that there is no information on the subject in
the Britannica, but merely that there may be no separate article on the
subject. In such cases let him turn to the general index (Vol. 29).
