- Authors
III, C. D. Dickerson
- Abstract
This article explores the history of site-specific sculpture, focusing on examples from ancient Greece to the work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the seventeenth century. It highlights how sculptors throughout history have tailored their creations to their specific sites, considering factors such as viewing angles, lighting, and the overall environment. The article emphasizes Bernini's innovative approach to site-specific sculpture, where he used the surrounding space to enhance the emotional impact and movement of his statues. The author, C. D. Dickerson III, is an expert in European art of the Renaissance and Baroque and serves as a curator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
