Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Giovanni Della Robbia
In this volume I have presented a Catalogue Raisonne' of the works of Giovanni della Robbia, publishing for the first time many new monuments and new documents. The writings of Dr. Bode, of Marcel Reymond, and of Miss Cruttwell will have made the public sufficiently familiar with Luca and Andrea della Robbia, but no one has brought together into a unified treatise the works of Giovanni della Robbia. The present volume should present to the eye of the interested student a sufficient number of works by Giovanni della Robbia to enable him to recognize the characteristics of his style. In other volumes we may hope to distinguish the correlated works of the Buglioni, and of Giovanni's brothers. Logically the volume on Andrea della Robbia should follow the monograph on Luca della Rob bia, but the output of his atelier was so enormous and the individualities of his successors so ill defined, that I have prefered to delay publication, hop ing that the discovery of new documents may shed some light on the oh scure portions of this field.
