Abstract

This fascinating new publication considers how the discovery of Etruscan artefacts have inspired artists, architects, nobility, scholars and travellers to Italy from the 16th through to the 20th century, from Ferdinando de' Medici to Piranesi and Federico Fellini. Subjects include the reclaiming of Etruscan identity and its influence on Italian political history, the collecting and reproduction of Etruscan artefacts as well as new insights into the lives and activities of early British Etruscologists and their publications of sites and the rich and exciting artefacts found there. Other papers look at Etruscan concepts in jewellery, gems and pottery. Whilst the influence of the Etruscans on European culture may not be altogether surprising, the volume provides evidence of how knowledge of the Etruscan civilisation spread to the United States of America, including the tomb of a Civil War officer that was inscribed with an intriguing Etruscan-like inscription. The volume vividly shows the impact that Etruscan discoveries have had on the public imagination, in particular the Campanari display of reconstructed Etruscan tombs staged in Pall Mall in 1837, which was the first archaeological 'blockbuster' exhibition of its kind. The British Museum acquired much of the material in this exhibition, and in fact the excavation of Etruscan tombs with their stunning wall-paintings was to have a vital impact on displays in the major museums of Europe. That said, some Etruscan material was among Sir Hans Sloane's collection, the founding collection of the British Museum, and it has been on display since the Museum first opened its doors to the public in 1759

Abstract

"Professor Larissa Bonfante's great gift is the ability to evoke in a fresh, immediate, and convincing way the experiences, beliefs, and thoughts of people living more than two thousand years ago. Images and Translations: The Etruscans Abroad communicates the sensations of other times and places, from the day to day to the solemnly ritualistic. The world of the Etruscans, sophisticated and pleasure-loving, radiated throughout a vast area of the ancient world. Starting from works of art created by individuals of ages very different from our own, Bonfante examined the expertise and production of the artists and artisans who made them, the tastes of those who used them, and the sometimes surprising results of the exchanges between creators and buyers. Just as the French demand for Chinese ceramics in the seventeenth century gave birth to the unprecedented famille colors, so the production of Greek ceramics for the Etruscan market produced singularly expressive depictions. Humorous, pious, or erotic to the buyers, they could be shocking to the culture who made them. Images and Translations explores areas in much closer economic and cultural contact than is usually recognized. Following traces and transformations, this book finds threads of connection not only between Italy and Greece, but between Italy and northern Europe -- today's France and Germany -- as well as between Italy and the Near East. Etruscan influence runs through Western history, into the Renaissance, and emerges in imagery still evocative today."--

Abstract

"Une fibule - c'est-à-dire une sorte d'épingle qui servait à agrafer les vêtements de dessus - en or, très semblable à celle qui fut trouvée dans les fouilles en 1876 de la tombe Bernardini de Palestrina (anciennement Préneste), fut présentée, pour la première fois, en 1887 à l'Institut Archéologique Allemand de Rome. Appelée, à cause du premier mot de son inscription, la "Fibule de Manios", ou, à cause de sa provenance supposée, la "Fibule de Préneste", cette fibule qui porte la première inscription latine connue, est la pièce la plus célèbre du Museo Nazionale Etnografico Preistorico Luigi Pigorini de Rome, où elle est actuellement conservée, a donné lieu à une querelle mémorable sur son authenticité, qui est peut-être en voie d'être réglée"--P.
