Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue des Bronzes Antiques de la Bibliotheque Nationale: Publie Sous les Auspices de l'Academie des Inscriptions Et Belles-Lettres Les origines de la collection de Brorzres antiques, conservee au Departement des Medailles de la Bibliotheque nationale, sont difficiles a demeler avec precision, ou plutot elles se confondent avec l'histoire meme du Cabinet du Roi, qui comprenait, non seulement des bronzes, mais des marbres et des terres cuites, des medailles et des pierres gravees, des curiosites de toute espece, se rattachant a l'ethnographie et a l'histoire naturelle Peut-etre pourrait - on, comme on l'a fait avec tant de succes pour le Cabinet des Manuscrits et la librairie du Roi2, remonter jusqu'au moyen age, et essayer de reconstituer avec les Tresors d'objets d'art conserves alors dans les residences royales, la premiere phase ou, pour ainsi parler, la periode heroique des annales du Cabinet des Medailles. On reconnait sans trop de peine, en effet, dans les nombreux Inventaires de ces Tresors, la mention de camees, intailles, sta tuettes, vases et ustensiles de tous genres, qu'on ne peut attribuer qu'aux temps antiques. Mais en ce qui concerne specialement les monuments de bronze, outre que la naivete ou l'insuffisance des descriptions rendent toute identification avec ceux que nous avons sous les yeux, impossible ou tres conjecturale, les Tresors de nos rois ont ete si souvent disperses et ont passe par tant de vicissitudes malheureuses, qu'il serait temeraire de pretendre qu'aucun de nos bronzes ait figure dans la col lection royale avant le xv siecle.

Download or read book Etruscan Life and Afterlife written by Larissa Bonfante and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lively ferment in Etruscan studies, generated in part by recent archaeological discoveries and fostered by new trends in interpretation, has produced a wealth of information about the people historians traditionally considered as inaccessible. Now, scholars are reconstructing a portrait of the wealthy, sophisticated Etruscans whose territory once extended from the Po River to the Bay of Naples. Unfortunately, the wider English-speaking public has had no single resource which synthesizes these new findings and interpretations about the Etruscans. In fact, some sources continue to propagate the traditional myth of the "enigmatic and isolated Etruscans." In response, the eminent Etruscan scholar Larissa Bonfante asked seven other internationally known classicists to join her in providing this "handbook" for the non-specialist as an authoritative and readable guide to the burgeoning Etruscan scholarship. As Bonfante explains in the introductory chapter, "The Etruscans provide an excellent opportunity of turning archaeology into history: this we tried to do, in our chapters, according to our individual directions. Nancy Thomson de Grummond traces the interest in and knowledge of the Etruscans from the earliest days. Mario Torelli provides an independent account of Etruscan history, based on monuments and sources. Jean MacIntosh Turfa belies the cliche of the Etruscans' traditional 'isolation' by surveying the material evidence for their trade with the Phoenicians, Greeks, and other neighbors in the Mediterranean. Marie-Fran'oise Briguet, Friedhelm Prayon, David Tripp, and I survey Etruscan art, architecture, coinage, and daily lives, respectively, Emeline Richardson contributes what she calls a 'primer' in the Etruscan language, a basic archaeological introduction to the Etruscan language, meant to help newcomers read the inscriptions on many of the monuments illustrated and to see these with the interdisciplinary approach so characteristic of, and necessary in, Etruscan studies." The book is profusely illustrated with over 300 photos and maps. Notes and bibliographic references lead to standard texts on the Etruscans and to the more specialized literature in the field. The result is a reliable and lively volume which brings readers into the mainstream of the latest Etruscan scholarship.
Download or read book A Passion for Antiquities written by Marion True and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1994-12-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection of Barbara and Lawrence Fleischman of New York is one of the most important private collections of ancient Greek and Roman art in the United States and among the most important in the world. Composed of approximately three hundred objects from the Bronze Age to the Late Antique, it includes bronze statuettes, marble sculpture, vases, jewelry, lamps and candelabra, keys, weights, and silver bowls and utensils. The Fleischmans have a particular fascination with pieces associated with everyday life in antiquity, since these objects evoke a human connection to the past. They are also drawn to pieces that exemplify the human propensity to transform a functional object into a thing of beauty. Not only has their emotional response to an object’s aesthetic appeal or its historical significance guided them in their forty years of collecting, personal interests have been at work as well. The large number of pieces related to the theater or representing theatrical subjects reflects Barbara Fleischman’s lifelong love of that art. A Passion for Antiquities contains photographs and extensive catalogue entries on the objects included in the exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art. Eighteen contributors provide art historical and descriptive information about each piece. The objects not selected for the exhibition are detailed in a checklist that specifies their origins, dates, media, and sizes. This book is the first major reference on the entire collection, since most of the objects have never before been publicly shown. To facilitate finding specific objects or groups of objects, the book is organized first chronologically and then by medium. Bibliographic sources for each entry cite both publications where the specific work is discussed as well as references to related scholarship. Karol Wight provides a chronological overview of the collection, and Oliver Taplin relates selected pieces to the development of Greek theater. The exhibition of Barbara and Lawrence Fleischman’s collection and this catalogue allow us to enter into their minds and emotions so that, for a time, we can share their passion for antiquities.
