Author's biography
Florentine sculptor, the most famous member of a family of artists. Nothing is known of his early career, and he was a mature artist by the time of his first documented work ?a Cantori> (Singing Gallery, 1431-38) for Florence Cathedral, now in the Cathedral Museum. It is a work of considerable originality as well as enormous charm, antedating by a year or two the companion galler> by Donatell> (now also in the Cathedral Museum). Its marble reliefs of angels and children singing> dancing> and making musi> reflect antique prototypes, but conceived in a more cheerful, less heroic spirit than Donatello's figures.>In his own time Luca had the reputation of being one of the leaders of the modern (i.e. Renaissance) style, comparable to Donatell> and Ghibert> in sculpture and Masacci> in painting, but he is now remembered mainly for his development of coloured, glazed terracotta as a sculptural medium ?in particular for his highly popular invention of the type of the half-length Madonna and ChiA> in white on a blue ground.P>The family workshop seems to have kept the technical formula a secret and it became the basis of a flourishing business; among the major works by Luca in the medium are the roundels of Apostles (c. 1444) in BrunellescA>'s Pazzi Chapel in Santa Croce. Luca's business was carried on by his nephew AndrA> (1435-1525), and later by Andrea's five sons, of whom GiovanA> (1469-after 1529) was the most important. The famous roundels of infanA> on the fa鏰de of the Foundling Hospital in Florence (1463-66) were probably made by Andrea. His successors tended to sentimentalize Luca's warm humanity, and in course of time the artists' studio became a potters' workshop-industry.
