In love with Verrochio
The images in this text are unbelievable! Butterfield draws attention to some remarkable and often overlooked aspects of Verrochio's work, such as details of St. Thomas' (of "The Doubting of St. Thomas" at the Orsanmichele) face and amazingly well articulated hands. Butterfield, also, brings forward Verrocchio's impact on Italian Renaissance art, especially as da Vinci's teacher, by comparing his work to that of those he influenced. This book has greatly impacted my work as a sculptor and given me a new love and appreciation for this Master!
