Massimiliano Soldani, sculptor to the Medici

"The discovery of these sixty unpublished drawings by Soldani dating from the 1680s and 1690s sheds a new light on Soldani's early activity. The drawings include projects for medals, vases, galleys, plates, architecture and religious artefacts, a number of which are still extant. Soldani was until now unknown as a draughtsman."--cover verso
