ANDREA SACCHI AND CARDINAL DEL MONTE - THE REDISCOVERED FRESCOES IN THE PALAZZO DI RIPETTA IN ROME -
This fascinating and beautifully illustrated book presents for the first time the rediscovered frescoes painted by Andrea Sacchi (1599-1661) for the loggia of Cardinal del Monte's Roman palace near via di Ripetta, Rome. Considered lost by generations of scholars, Andrea Sacchi's fresco cycle has survived in a private apartment in Rome. Largely unpublished and rarely mentioned in recent literature, the frescoes underwent a revelatory restoration in 2010-11. For the past three years, the author was granted exclusive access to study them thoroughly - resulting in this monograph. Accompanied by beautiful and full photographic documentation, this study aims to compare the painted images with the detailed description given by the biographer Giovan Pietro Bellori ; to shed light on the iconography and style, above all with respect to the sources used ; and to integrate this key commission within Sacchi's early career. The cycle's iconography is explored with careful verification of early sources that now allows us to resolve some particularly complex problems of interpretation - above all those relating to alchemy. Cardinal del Monte's Palazzo di Ripetta housed a fully equipped pharmacological laboratory. Research on this cycle of frescoes has also made it possible to discover new archival evidence regarding Sacchi's date and place of birth.

Patronage and Devotion. A Focus on Seven Roman Baroque Paintings
This fascinating book provides a fresh perspective on the understanding of sacred imagery and its use through selected studies related to seventeenth-century Roman visual culture. Patronage and Devotion: A Focus on Seven Roman Baroque Paintings will accompany an exhibition of works by prominent Baroque artists, at the Villa Mondragone, a Renaissance Papal Villa in the countryside of Rome. The highlight of catalogue and exhibition is a group of masterpieces by seven prominent artists of the seventeenth century: six altarpieces by Carlo Saraceni, Valentin de Boulogne, Andrea Sacchi, Andrea Camassei, Pietro da Cortona, and Carlo Maratti, and one easel painting by Guido Reni commissioned for private devotion. Most of the paintings will be on public view for the first time. The publication offers new approaches to the study of the complex processes involved in the making of a work of art. By reconstructing the religious and social dynamics of artistic patronage and the context of worship and devotion in which these paintings ? fully documented by primary sources ? were executed, the volume explores the visual impact of these works on the viewers. This beautifully illustrated book will feature remarkable new photographs and details of diagnostic analysis of Pietro da Cortona?s and Carlo Maratti?s altarpieces.Sur commande en 4-6 joursCOMMANDER30,00 €

'A Perfect Eye and Steady Hand'. Goldsmithing in Tudor & Stuart London
This handsomely illustrated book is published to mark the opening of the Goldsmiths' Gallery at the new London Museum in Smithfield. Showcasing the Cheapside Hoard alongside historic treasures from the Goldsmiths' Company's collection, it takes readers on a global journey in the wake of plate, jewels and gemstones - and the people who made, traded and treasured them. Gold and silver are precious - prized as a form of portable capital, essential for the mints and coinage, used to express power and status. Yet great skill was needed in the buying, the fashioning and the selling of either metal. As fashions changed, much early modern plate and jewellery was melted down when sentiment gave way to market value. This makes the survival of the Goldsmiths' Company's holdings exceptional - and the Cheapside Hoard, unearthed by workmen in 1912 after lying undisturbed for nearly 300 years - nothing short of extraordinary. Comprising over 500 pieces - made of emeralds, diamonds and sapphires sourced from across the world, worked into mesmerising brooches, buttons, necklaces and rings - the Cheapside Hoard is the greatest single collection of Elizabethan and Stuart jewellery in the world. The book places the Hoard in its historical and global context, celebrating it alongside highlights from the Goldsmiths' Company's collection. It offers four main chapters on Elizabethan and early Stuart London, the goldsmiths' trade, the Hoard itself, and the city's global networks. Interwoven thematic sections explore craftsmanship, personal stories, trade practices, taste and fashion - bringingtogether jewels and plate to reveal a rich tapestry of skill, style and exchange.PréventePRÉCOMMANDER35,00 € -
