Robbia heraldry
Excerpt from Robbia Heraldry
In attempting to define the authorship and date of the very numerous products of the Della Robbia school I have been embarrassed by the lack of documentary and historical evidence and consequently have usually been compelled to rely on the evidence of style alone. I count it most fortunate for these studies that my friend Mr. Rufus G. Mather, residing in Florence, was prepared to devote his energies to the discovery of documents, which in many cases have proved to be invaluable. These he is publishing in Italian periodicals while I am utilizing them in these Princeton monographs.
