Download or read book Ancient Marbles in Naples in the Eighteenth Century written by Eloisa Dodero and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ancient Marbles in Naples in the Eighteenth Century Eloisa Dodero aims at documenting the history of numerous private collections formed in Naples during the 18th century, with particular concern for the “Neapolitan marbles” and the circumstances of their dispersal. Research has thus made it possible to formulate a synthesis of the collecting dynamics of Naples in the 18th century, to define the interest of the great European collectors, especially British, in the antiquities of the city and its territory and to draw up a catalogue which for the first time brings together the nucleus of sculptures reported in the Neapolitan collections or coming from irregular excavations, most of which shared the destiny of dispersal, in some cases here traced in definitive fashion.

Download or read book Studi sul barocco romano written by Maria Grazia Bernardini and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questa raccolta di scritti di storia dell'arte, promossa dalla Direzione Generale per il Patrimonio Storico Artistico e Demoetnoantropologico del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, vuole essere un omaggio a un grande e appassionato storico dell'arte, Maurizio Fagiolo Dell'Arco. In considerazione dei suoi specifici interessi sull'arte barocca, cui Maurizio ha dedicato gran parte della sua attività di studioso, numerosi colleghi e amici, italiani e stranieri, hanno voluto ricordarlo con contributi sul barocco romano. Così i saggi spaziano da Caravaggio, con interventi di Marini e Curzietti, alla scuola bolognese, con testi di Montanari, Carloni, Guarino, Loire, Schleier, all'amatissimo Giovan Lorenzo Bernini, con saggi di Lavin e di Del Pesco; e ancora saggi su Cortona e cortoneschi, oggetto di uno dei suoi ultimi libri (saggi di Lo Bianco e Fisher Pace), su Pierre Lemaire, (Brejon de Lavergnée), sul Gaulli, di cui Maurizio Fagiolo ha curato una magnifica mostra ad Ariccia (Debenedetti, Graf, Vodret). Altri contributi hanno affrontato temi sull'architettura (Marconi), sulla scultura (Cipriani, Pampalone), sull'arte decorativa e sugli apparati effimeri (González Palacios, Bilancia, Marcello Fagiolo, Franchi). A questi si aggiungono gli studi di Röttgen, Tiberia, Corradini, Rosenberg, Pantanella, Griseri, Guerrieri Borsoi, Sestieri, Petrucci, Negro, Prosperi Valenti Rodinò, Bernardini, Spinosa, Barbiellini Amidei, Boccardo, Barbera, Herrmann Fiore, Morello. Il volume, ricco di nuovi dati documentari, di nuove riflessioni critiche sull'arte seicentesca a Roma, di spunti per ulteriori indagini, costituisce uno strumento importantissimo di lavoro, proprio in sintonia con il pensiero di Maurizio Fagiolo Dell'Arco, sempre disponibile a confronti e consigli, che nel lontano 1967 aveva scritto (insieme con il fratello Marcello) il primo e l'unico catalogo dell'opera di Giovan Lorenzo Bernini, strumento ancora oggi validissimo e imprescindibile per chi voglia avvicinarsi allo studio del "regista del barocco".

Book excerpt: A word that recurs frequently in the titles of paintings by Mimmo Paladino is silence.

Paladino considers his art nomadic, based on repeated passages and explains that for nomadic means a crossing of various territories from art, both in geographical or temporal, made ​​with the greatest technical and creative freedom. The monograph, which documents some 400 works, including paintings and sculptures, testifies over thirty years of his creative career .
