Sculpture & Decorative Arts
Spanning from the 13th through the early 21st century, the sculpture and decorative arts collections represent a wide range of media, from iron and bronze to terracotta and wood. The collection is particularly notable for its strengths in small-scale bronzes, private devotional sculpture, and domestic objects. Geographically, the collection spans Europe, with particular strengths in northern Italy, the Low Countries, Southern Germany, and France.
