L'Argenteria Genovese Del Settecento

Torino, Umberto Allemandi, 2006. Hardcover. Pale gray boards with black spine lettering, color illustrated dust jacket, light gray spine with black lettering, 562 pp, profusely illustrated in bw throughout with 16 full page color illustrations. Text in Italian. "A particularly happy moment, perhaps the highest, of the creativity of the Genoese silversmiths and the object of a multi-year investigation of which this volume collects the results touching on the internal relationships of the art of the Fraveghi, the reasons and the aspirations of the clients, the variety and peculiarities of production. Field research has considered a territory that includes Genoa, its ancient Domain and the areas reached by that specific culture: therefore Corsica and Sardenga, the Nice area, the lower Piedmont and the nearby Tuscany. A repertoire of over a thousand largely unpublished specimens, ordered chronologically and by 'sacred' and 'profane' types, highlights the dynamics of the stylistic evolution and provides scholars, for the first time, with a large and tidy carpet of comparisons. The personal punches of the masters, detected on the pieces or attested on a documentary basis, are ordered in a special prospectus. A biographical dictionary rich in over seven hundred names is also dedicated to silversmiths and their careers, a result that was all the more surprising for a century whose production had always been considered anonymous."- dust jacket Includes bibliographical references (pages 533-540) and index. VG+/VG+ (small bumps to boards mainly near bottom, light wear to dust jacket with small tear near bottom. Pages and illustrations are very clean) .
