 Portrait by Bernardino Consorti Italian

Not on view

This box celebrates the work of the Italian woodcarver Ottaviano Jannella, renowned for his masterful and ingenious manipulation of boxwood. While later in date than the Netherlandish works featured here, the assemblage of carvings, tools, and materials bears witness to the extraordinary technical accomplishment of sculptors who created intricate worlds from modest blocks of wood.
