A travers plus de trois cents objets, c'est une histoire de l'ivoirerie européenne qui est proposée dans cet ouvrage.La riche collection du Louvre y est dévoilée, souvent pour la première fois. Ces oeuvres ont parfois une provenance illustre - elles ont appartenu à Louis XIV, Marie-Antoinette, la marquise de Pompadour. Modestes ou somptueuses, certaines commémorent tel événement historique, le sacre de Napoléon, le mariage d'une princesse de Saxe ou la campagne d'Allemagne. Mais cette collection écrit aussi une histoire du goût, et parfois des errements de la science...Elle a été assemblée grâce à la patience et à la passion de grands collectionneurs du XIXe siècle : Pierre Révoil, Charles Sauvageot, Adolphe Thiers et la baronne Salomon de Rothschild, notamment. Les pièces étudiées sont d'une très grande variété, reliefs, statuettes, armes, éventails, armes, vases enrichis de montures d'orfèvrerie, couteaux, objets de curiosité, et comprennent aussi des objets de Ceylan, du Japon, d'Afrique ou du Mexique.

The papers in this volume shed light on the production of important French bronze sculptures, as well as decorative and utilitarian objects, dating between the 16th and 18th century. Those who study such works must take into account that the making of a bronze is an inherently reproductive process as well as a complex, collaborative endeavour. The studies presented in this book mostly relate to the production of specific sculptors and founders, or of specific works of art. They draw on a range of evidence - written sources, archaeological investigations of foundry sites, close scrutiny of the objects themselves and elemental analysis of metals reveal much about the business of bronze working and technological know-how, and provide a further wealth of evidence about process, as well as increasingly useful information for attribution and dating. As the papers illustrate, integrating these technical approaches with connoisseurship is the key to understanding and characterizing the fabrication processes of particular works, and to correctly identifying the relationship between different casts based on the same model.
