Two essays examine serialization in the workshop, focusing on Andrea della Robbia’s Adoration of the Child and the practice of early 20th-century bronze casting in France, while a third examines the restoration histories of five French marbles from the 17th and 18th centuries. The National Gallery’s 2019 acquisition Coriolanus Taking Leave of His Family by Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson provides an opportunity to study Girodet’s painting techniques in a fourth essay. The final two essays focus on the illustration of the Ignis volume of Joris Hoefnagel’s Four Elements and an early draft of Freydal ordered by Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I.
