ca. 1515/20, Artist: Andrea Briosco, gen. Riccio
At the turn of the 16th century, Andrea Briosco, called “Il Riccio,” was the most influential sculptor in the humanist milieu of the university city of Padua. He translated genre-like classical motifs into an expressive-naturalistic idiom. Small-scale realistic animal figures informed by classical finds were another genre that became popular in Padua. These mass-produced small bronzes were widely disseminated.
