This article aims to define the personal and stylistic outline of the Master of the Unruly Children, the conventional name of a sculptor whose oeuvre was reconstructed by Wilhelm von Bode in 1890. Thanks to the discovery of two documents regarding the setting-up and subsequent termination of a partnership between Sandro di Lorenzo di Smeraldo and Santi Buglioni (January 1537-March 1538), it now seems increasingly plausible that the anonymous artist was in fact Sandro. The archival document makes it possible to recognize the glazed terracotta statue of the Young Saint John the Baptist in a Grotto, around which Bode established the initial nucleus of the sculptor’s work, and to connect with it an unpublished Penitent Saint Jerome in the Acton – New York University collection in Florence.
Il contributo mira a precisare il profilo anagrafico e stilistico del Maestro dei bambini irrequieti, nome convenzionale di un artista ricostruito da Wilhelm von Bode nel 1890. Grazie al rinvenimento di due documenti, la costituzione e la successiva rescissione di una società tra Sandro di Lorenzo di Smeraldo e Santi Buglioni (gennaio 1537-marzo 1538), appare oggi sempre più plausibile confermare proprio in Sandro l’identità dell’anonimo artista. La nota d’archivio consente oggi di recuperare il ‘San Giovannino nella grotta’, in terracotta invetriata, intorno al quale Bode aveva costituito il primo corpus dello scultore, e di associargli un inedito ‘San Girolamo penitente’ conservato a Firenze presso la collezione Acton-New York University.

Abstract
This article aims to define the personal and stylistic outline of the Master of the Unruly Children, the conventional name of a sculptor whose oeuvre was reconstructed by Wilhelm von Bode in 1890. Thanks to the discovery of two documents regarding the setting-up and subsequent termination of a partnership between Sandro di Lorenzo di Smeraldo and Santi Buglioni (January 1537-March 1538), it now seems increasingly plausible that the anonymous artist was in fact Sandro. The archival document makes it possible to recognize the glazed terracotta statue of the Young Saint John the Baptist in a Grotto, around which Bode established the initial nucleus of the sculptor’s work, and to connect with it an unpublished Penitent Saint Jerome in the Acton – New York University collection in Florence.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
