Download or read book Dangerous Perfection written by Ursula Kastner and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, the Berlin Antikensammlung initiated a project with the J. Paul Getty Museum to conserve a group of ancient funerary vases from southern Italy. Monumental in scale and richly decorated, these magnificent vessels were discovered in hundreds of fragments in the early nineteenth century at Ceglie, near Bari. Acquired by a Bohemian diplomat, they were reconstructed in the Neapolitan workshop of Raffaele Gargiulo, who was considered one of the leading restorers of antiquities in Europe. His methods exemplify what was referred to as “une perfection dangereuse,” an approach to reassembly and repainting that made it difficult to distinguish what was ancient and what was modern. Bringing together archival documentation and technical analyses, this volume provides a comprehensive study of the vases and their treatment from the nineteenth century up to today. In addition to lavish illustrations, two in-depth essays on the history of the vases and on Gargiulo’s work, as well as detailed conservation notes for each object, this publication also features the first English translation of Gargiulo’s original text on his understanding as to how ancient Greek vases were manufactured. This is the companion volume to an exhibition on view at the Getty Villa, from November 19, 2014, to May 11, 2015, and then at the Antikensammlung, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin from June 17, 2016, to June 18, 2017.

Download or read book Great Museums of Italy written by Valerio Terraroli and published by Skira. This book was released on 2002 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Great Museums is a volume dedicated to the subject of museums, analyzed through the history of how some emblematic Italian museums have been created. Eight examples, unique due to the richness, variety and importance of their collections, which in virtual terms also trace a kind of conceptual art history itinerary: from the Egyptian civilization, documented by the grandiose collection of the Egyptian Museum of Turin, to the Roman civilization represented by the Archaeological Museum of Naples, by the princely collections of the Uffizi, Pitti, Villa Borghese and Capodimonte, and finally to the great masterpieces of Italian artists from the Sixteenth to the Nineteenth century, organized by schools and periods for didactic purposes, in the picture galleries of Milan and Venice. The purpose of the volume is to present the museum, not just as a safe storage for precious works of art, a place housing historical memories and a temple dedicated to absolute beauty, but as a place open to everyone, a central element in a kind of permanent education which develops and is accomplished both through a knowledge and appreciation of the history which has given Italy the world's largest artistic heritage, and by an interpretation of the single masterpieces, chosen as eloquent and fascinating testimonials of the changing taste and the transformation of the idea of beauty over time."--from the Publisher
