The Bronze Statue of a Youth

Reproductions rarely form a part
of any true art collection, but the circumstances leading to the recreation of
an ancient bronze statue for the Getty Museum were unique. With many
accompanying photographs, David Rinne leads the reader through the fascinating
process of casting a bronze statue utilizing molds taken from the head and foot
of the original bronze in the Getty collection and the torso of the same statue
from the Burdur Museum in Turkey.
