Clerk tables

Thanks to the discoveries at Herculaneum and Pompeii, a new chapter in the history of the use of colored marble began in the 18th century: objects were made, especially table tops, which at first constituted real souvenirs or became a source of curiosity for fans of classicism who came to Rome to admire the vestiges. Sometimes, one would purchase an antique marble tabletop in order to have a document to keep continually before one's eyes, a kind of handbook of practical reference; sometimes one would use it merely for decorative purposes. The Roman marble commesso top is certainly a work of [...]

Curious figure that of the antiquarian!!!

A merchant destined to deal in a special "commodity": the records of our past, of our own and others' civilization. On the one hand, he must not fail in his role as a merchant, as an entrepreneur who leads a business and cannot do without the logic of profit, and on the other hand, he must not betray the nature of what he offers to the public. In the guise of a dealer he has to evaluate his objects taking into account the market trend, as a cultural worker what is brought into play is his specific expertise: the antiquarian has [...]

Rene Lalique, The Genius of Elegance

*Art Nouveau at the end of the 19th century* Within the general framework of Art Nouveau, which "exploded" towards the end of the last century with a vitality that involved the entire panorama of plastic and applied arts, jewelry represented one of the most congenial forms of expression for the practical application of the new theoretical axioms. One such dogma was the return to nature, and at the same time the use of new techniques, made possible by the onrush of progress or even by these artists' own research. As with all other art forms, a basic stylistic unity manifested [...]

Neapolitan gouache

* ...Nu picture is luntananza... The technique of "gouache," or "gouache," has always been used in painting, but it is in the landscape genre in the eighteenth century that it yields its most significant results. In Naples it spread from the second half of the 18th century and persisted throughout the 19th century. The technique uses water as the basic solvent with the addition of rubber to agglutinate the color. The resulting effect is a light painting somewhere between tempera and watercolor: the tones are less full-bodied than in tempera, and the reduction in intensity is achieved not by thinning [...]

The “white” Majolica tiles of Compendiary style

The term 'Majolica' refers to all those artifacts made from worked and subsequently fired earth. Since ancient times the soils and clays used came from quarries or rivers and were previously treated and purified before use after which the mixture was mixed with other elements according to predetermined doses designed so that the material would reach a certain density and then be shaped with a potter's wheel (the wheel) or simply pressed into a mold. Every single step in the processing was done by hand, thus almost always resulting in unique specimens. Before firing, the object was dipped in a [...]

Artist’s repentance

Artist's repentance or correction is nothing more than the change that the artist makes in the course of the work, in some already executed part of the work itself; it can be discovered by the resurfacing, with the passage of time and especially in ancient paintings, from the deepest and often initial layers of color. Puzzles and corrections inevitably remain on the canvases as signatures and guarantees of the painting's originality. A copy cannot for the same reasons have second thoughts, simply because the idea has already been "produced."   It is undoubtedly the result of a creative process, it is [...]
