Scholars have only recently begun to study Paduan sculptors with the care previously devoted to Florentines.

In the process, the production of Riccio, who was the most gifted of the three, and of Bellano, appears to be shrinking rapidly, while Severo is credited with a veritable factory reproducing works by many artists, including Bellano and Riccio. The Frick Collection, for example, has a statuette of David, a variant of a bronze by Bellano, which is now thought to be the work of Severo
