Abstract

In the early fifteenth century, when Romans discovered ancient marble sculptures and inscriptions in the ruins, they often melted them into mortar. A hundred years later, however, antique marbles had assumed their familiar role as works of art displayed in private collections. Many of these collections, especially the Vatican Belvedere, are well known to art historians and archaeologists. Yet discussions of antiquities collecting in Rome too often begin with the Belvedere, that is, only after it was a widespread practice. In this important book, the author steps back to examine the "long" fifteenth century, a critical period in the history of antiquities collecting that has received scant attention. Kathleen Wren Christian examines shifts in the response of artists and writers to spectacular archaeological discoveries and the new role of collecting antiquities in the public life of Roman elites.

Abstract

This lucid and coherent account provides a new overview of the collecting of antiquities in early renaissance Rome, from the time of Petrarch to the Sack of Rome in 1527. In the early 15th century, when Romans discovered ancient marble sculptures and inscriptions in the ruins, they often melted them into mortar. A hundred years later, however, antique marbles had assumed their familiar role as works of art displayed in private collections. In this important book, the author steps back to examine the “long” 15th century, a critical period in the history of antiquities collecting that has received scant attention. She examines shifts in the response of artists and writers to spectacular archaeological discoveries and the new role of collecting antiquities in the public life of Roman elites. The book culminates in a detailed catalogue of the thirty-six most important antiquities collections formed before the Sack and brings these vanished sites back to life by using archival documents, drawings, and descriptions by visitors to clarify the history and appearance of little-studied collections.

Abstract

This collection investigates the wide array of local antiquarian practices that developed across Europe in the early modern era. Breaking new ground, it explores local concepts of antiquity in a period that has been defined as a uniform 'Renaissance'. Contributors take a novel approach to the revival of the antique in different parts of Italy, as well as examining other, less widely studied antiquarian traditions in France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Britain and Poland. They consider how real or fictive ruins, inscriptions and literary works were used to demonstrate a particular idea of local origins, to rewrite history or to vaunt civic pride. In doing so, they tackle such varied subjects as municipal antiquities collections in Southern Italy and France, the antiquarian response to the pagan, Christian and Islamic past on the Iberian Peninsula, and Netherlandish interest in megalithic ruins thought to be traces of a prehistoric race of Giants.

Abstract

Die Publikation widmet sich den Beziehungen zwischen Restaurierung und Politik in der Kunst der italienischen Renaissance. Die Frage nach der Herkunft als Grundlage politischer, patrimonialer und kultureller Identität bildet den Fokus der Betrachtungen. Anstatt ursprüngliche Formen und Bedeutungen wiederherzustellen, wurde die Vergangenheit entsprechend neuen Identitätsbedürfnissen umgestaltet: Räume wurden umorganisiert und Kunstwerke mit neuen Bedeutungen versehen. Die materielle und ästhetische Realität der Kunstgegenstände erfuhr somit eine Umgestaltung und Neudefinition. Ziel der Beiträge ist es, mögliche physische Veränderungen der Artefakte im Lichte ihrer symbolischen Umkodierung zu analysieren. Mit Beiträgen von Kathleen W. Christian, Caroline S. Hillard, Mateusz Kapustka, Jérémie Koering, Victor Lopes, Florian Métral, Arnold Nesselrath, Neville Rowley, Beat Wyss. Restaurierungspraktiken in der italienischen Renaissancekunst Kritische Hinterfragung des Renaissancebegriffs Umkodierung antiker Werke zu politischen Zwecken The aim of this publication is to clarify the relationships between material restoration and politics in Italian Renaissance art. The focus of this research is on the question of origin as a foothold for political, patrimonial, and cultural identity. These claims were enacted within a system which, rather than restoring the initial forms and meanings of existing objects, remodeled the past according to new identity requirements: spaces were reorganized, and works of art invested with new meanings. Their material and aesthetic reality was thus transformed and redefined. The aim is therefore to analyze the potential physical modifications of these artefacts in light of their symbolic recoding. With contributions by Kathleen W. Christian, Caroline S. Hillard, Mateusz Kapustka, Jérémie Koering, Victor Lopes, Florian Métral, Arnold Nesselrath, Neville Rowley, Beat Wyss. Restoration practices in Italian Renaissance art Reassessing the concept of Renaissance Recording of ancient works for political purposes
