New expanded edition

Since the original edition in 1978, this reference work has been regularly reprinted to meet its continuing success; the previous edition dates from 2011. Devoted to the terms used in sculpture, a field that is often overlooked or superficially known, this vocabulary highlights the contribution of treatises and technical studies that remained unchanged until the 19th century.

This book explains and sets out all the processes involved in casting, modelling, carving, casting, the stages of creation and composition, authentic copies, copies, mouldings and reductions. All the successive operations involved in shaping and decorating are analysed, described, illustrated and selected in such a way as to list all the processes used in the various periods, without claiming to constitute a history of sculpture.
