One aspect that sets this book apart is the quality of the picture reproductions.

From Donatello's revolutionary exploration of perspective and naturalism to the delicate and refined creations of Mino da Fiesole, this collection showcases the diversity and innovation of Tuscan sculpture during this period.

This inclusion allows readers to discover hidden gems and appreciate the contributions of these often overlooked artists. One minor drawback of the book is its relatively short length. While the selection of sixteen sculptures is well curated, one can't help but long for more examples from this period. However, this small limitation does not diminish the overall quality of the book. In conclusion, "Tuscan Sculpture of the Fifteenth Century" is a captivating exploration of the artistry and craftsmanship of Donatello, the Della Robia, Mino da Fiesole, and their contemporaries.
