This book on Italian sculpture puts a little-known part of the Wallace Collection in the spotlight. It includes 159 entries, covering works in bronze, marble, terracotta and wood dating from c. 1400 to 1900, by or associated with some of the most famous names in Italian sculpture, such as Donatello, Pietro Torrigiani, Giambologna and Alessandro Algardi.

Each entry is packed with information, with a comprehensive description and bibliography followed by a commentary exploring attribution, dating, function and social and historical context. An introductory essay explores the origins of the Italian sculpture collection in the Wallace Collection, whilst a technical essay examines some of the results of the programme of alloy analysis of the sculptures in bronze and other metals.
