Abstract

Cet ouvrage est publié à l’occasion du 500e anniversaire de la mort de Léonard de Vinci. Si cet « homme de la Renaissance » par excellence maîtrisait tout à la fois la peinture et la sculpture, l’architecture et la musique, l’anatomie et le génie civil, la cartographie et la géologie ou la botanique, l’étendue de son génie a pourtant échappé à ses contemporains et à ses successeurs. Il ne réalisera en effet qu’une vingtaine de tableaux, et très peu de ses autres projets seront menés à leur terme. C’est donc principalement par ses dessins et ses écrits que l’homme peut être appréhendé aujourd’hui dans sa prodigieuse créativité.Des centaines de dessins de Léonard ont survécu, davantage qu’aucun autre artiste majeur de la Renaissance. Comptant parmi les plus variés et les plus remarquables sur le plan technique de toute l’histoire de l’art, ils témoignent d’une interaction exceptionnelle entre les images et les mots, qui intervenait à l’instant même où il transcrivait ses idées sur le feuillet. Quelque 600 d’entre eux font partie de la Royal Collection britannique depuis le XVII e siècle. Cette collection, la plus importante du monde, a été conservée en un seul ensemble depuis sa mort en 1519.Un choix de ces oeuvres sera exposé en 2019 à la Queen’s Gallery de Londres et à celle d’Édimbourg, ainsi qu’en douze autres lieux du Royaume-Uni. Les plus beaux feuillets sont présentés dans le présent ouvrage, avec une préface de S.A.R. le prince de Galles et un texte éclairant de Martin Clayton, responsable des Dessins et Gravures de la Royal Collection Trust et spécialiste des dessins de Léonard de Vinci.

Abstract

"This volume comprises 207 drawings, about half of which are in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle and the rest in the Department of Greece and Rome in the British Museum and numerous public or private collections in the UK and abroad. They depict a wide variety of ancient statues of gods and humans, standing, seated or supine, large and small, whole and fragmentary, mainly of marble but also of bronze, as well as statuettes in marble and alabaster, figurines in bronze and terracotta, both Roman and Etruscan, military trophy groups and phallic sculptures. Also represented are herms, a sizeable series of portrait busts and heads, miniature busts in semi-precious stones and figurative appliqués. Some are well-known pieces, from the Barberini, Giustiniani, Medici and Pamphilj collections in Rome, but many are unusual and otherwise unrecorded.The drawings were largely commissioned in the 1630s and 1640s from artists such as Pietro Testa and Vincenzo Leonardi, with smaller groups thereafter, the last in the mid-1680s. The assemblage was probably initially intended by Cassiano for publication as a series of prints for the benefit of antiquarian scholars and artists, complementing the larger quantity of drawings of bas-reliefs which Cassiano had begun to assemble from the early 1620s onwards (published in Part A.III) and constituting the core of the Paper Museum in Cassiano's narrower definition of it in 1654 as 'everything good in marbles and bronze which can provide some information about antiquity'."--

Abstract

This catalogue raisonné is the first study of this area of the Royal Collection for more than a hundred years. Extensive research has uncovered much new information relating to the European silver in the Collection since the last publication on the subject in the early twentieth century. 0The catalogue discusses more than 350 objects of pre-twentieth-century silver made in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Russia, with a smaller collection of pieces from Italy, Scandinavia, Spain, Portugal and the Austro-Hungarian empire. 0An introduction on the history of collecting European silver is followed by catalogue entries on silver objects used for dining and drinking, tea, coffee and chocolate wares; toilet services; desk accessories and church plate. Highlights include the German Kunstzkammer objects acquired by George IV, and items formerly belonging to Napoleon which have subsequently entered the Royal Collection
