Caradosso (Cristoforo Caradosso Foppa)

Caradosso, known as Cristoforo Caradosso Foppa, belongs among the Renaissance masters whose reputation rests on bronze sculpture and the remains of gilding that survive on his casts. His subject matter draws on classical myth, as in The Rape of Ganymede. The archive holds a single work connected with his name, a bronze carrying traces of gilding, and the surviving impressions reach up to the point where the record of his output ends.
