• Resumen

  • The article discusses the rediscovery of photographs of two terracotta modelli by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea del Verrocchio. The modelli in question, "Youth with the salver" and "Captain with the mace," are studies for Verrochio's relief of the "Beheading of St. John the Baptist" made for the silver altar of the Baptistery in Florence, Italy. The photographs, the only known visual documentation of the now missing modelli, come from a publication of the Rothschild collection at Pregny, Switzerland.
