Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. 31 October 1737 Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, the Electress Palatine and last descendant of the grand ducal branch of the Medici, refused to stand by and watch the end of the dynasty that had marked the destiny of Florence for more than four centuries. She responded to the approaching Austrian rule by the House of Lorraine with a legal act under which all the assets that formed part of the Medici collections were bound to the city of Florence, establishing it definitively as a city of art. The protagonist of this book is the history of Florence, from its origins to that fateful day, narrated in the first person by the Electress Palatine herself, accompanied by her inquisitive and loyal servant Maria. AUTHOR: Originally from Molise, Marialuisa Bianchi took her degree in Mediaeval History at the University of Florence. Based in Florence, she has taught Italian and History in high schools and has published several historical novels centered on the fictional character Ekaterina. She began her writing career with short stories for teenagers, an experience which led to the creation of a play script. She collaborates with a cultural association, for which she holds writing seminars and organises lectures on literature. Her seminars have resulted in several collective books. SELLING POINTS: .

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In Florence, cassettai refers to the special group of street vendors who take their name from the drawer-like containers in which they display their wares. They have belonged to the association of the same name since 1909; today they are recognised as an important part of Florence's historical and cultural heritage. They are both promoters and protagonists of a volume on the history of the illustrated postcard, in whose diffusion they have traditionally played an important role. The history of the postcard intersects closely with that of the art of the last two centuries, beginning with the emergence of photography. Over time, the postcard became an art form in its own right; it also had a hand in transforming communication, providing travellers with the opportunity of recording spontaneous impressions while forever capturing a picture of the visited site. Sponsored by the association of the cassettai, the volume offers a rich and varied overview of the illustrated postcard, which was once an extremely popular means of conveying messages through words and images. Still today, the postcard holds its own in a world dominated by more modern and rapid means of communication, while retaining its connection with a fascinating history, one imbued with culture, identity, beauty and romanticism.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The Global Eye. Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese Maps in the Collections of the Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici is the companion catalogue to the exhibition of the same name. For the first time, it presents all 82 'Castello' maps in colour. The maps are so named because from the end of the 18th century until their transfer to the Laurentian Library in 1921 they decorated the rooms of the Medicean villa of Castello outside Florence. From 1667 to 1669, the young Grand Duke Cosimo III conducted his grand tour, which took him to various countries in Europe. While in the Low Countries on his first journey he purchased 65 maps and hand-drawn views of cities; on his second, longer trip he arrived in Lisbon, where he bought copies of maritime maps. The collection of maps and colonial vistas from Holland, Portugal and Spain provide us with insight into the shape of the world in the mid-17th century as well as information about the circulation of people and ideas. The catalogue describes and accurately analyses each map while providing details on the places shown and the contents of the legends and captions, when these are present. The essays discuss the history of the maps, from the time of their purchase by the grand duke to their arrival at the Laurentian Library. SELLING POINTS: .

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. This publication discusses a bronze Laocooen recently sold at Bonham's. Its new owners attributed it to Giuseppe Piamontini (16631744) 'because of its manufacture and its extremely close proximity to the Doccia model', the model employed for a porcelain Laocooen produced in the factory set up by Carlo Ginori (170257) in 1737 at Doccia near Florence. Labelled as French and belatedly returned to Late Baroque Florence (but to the wrong artist), this magnificent group has finally revealed its identity. It is one of the incunabula of an ambitious young sculptor measuring himself with the sculptors of Ancient Greece and their great Renaissance followers of his native Florence. During the day he copied them in the Galleria degli Uffizi and in the streets of the city. At night he gathered together with other pupils of Foggini in the Borgo Pinti studio to study together. The prominent career to which Della Valle obviously aspired prompted his move to Rome. Della Valle helped us interpret the bronze correctly, interpret correctly its attribution in the Doccia models' inventory and by extension understand better that document itself. But most important, our understanding of Florentine Late Baroque sculpture and of Della Valle's art has acquired another firm point of reference. AUTHOR: Dimitrios Zikos is an independent art historian specialised in Florentine bronze sculpture of the Renaissance and the Baroque. He studied Art History and Archaeology in the Universities of Munich and Freiburg i. Br. from where he obtained his PhD. He was a Henkell Fellow at the Kunsthistorisches Institut, Florence, and has co-curated exhibitions at the Gardner (2003), the Bargello (2003-2014), the Liechtenstein Princely Collections (2005), the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum (2015), and the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze (2023). He has published widely on Italian Sculpture and taught at the University of Innsbruck (2012-2013). He is an Honorary Member of the Amici di Doccia and the President of the not-for-profit Friends of the Bargello. SELLING POINTS: .

Couverture rigide. Zustand: Neuf. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Neuf. Edition originale. Title: The Springtime of the Renaissance: Sculpture and the Arts in Florence 1400-60 Author: Paolozzi Strozzi, Beatrice ; Marc Bormand (et al) Price: Euro 90,00.- ISBN: 9788874611867 Description: Florence: Mandragora, 2013. 29cm., hardcover, 552pp. illus., most in color. Exhibition held at Palazzo Strozzi, Florence (then to the Louvre). Summary: The catalogue proposes to illustrate, in theme-based sections, the origin of what is still known today as the "miracle" of the Renaissance in Florence, doing so principally through masterpieces of sculpture, the branch of figurative art in which that new season first saw the light of day. The first section is devoted to the rediscovery of the ancient world during the "rebirth" that occurred between the 13th and 14th centuries - from Nicola Pisano to Arnolfo di Cambio and their successors - especially of French origin. The two panels depicting the Sacrifice of Isaac by Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi and the model of Brunelleschi's Dome of Florence Cathedral represent the fundamental starting point of the Early Renaissance. Monumental public sculpture by Donatello and Ghiberti, is the first and loftiest testimony of innovation. From the 1420s on, the new standards of sculpture perfected by the great masters and illustrated by a number of masterpieces. At the same time, the most prestigious artistic commissions in Florence began to focus on venues of solidarity and of prayer. Thus, arranged around the city's absolute symbol - the wooden model of Brunelleschi's Cupola for Santa Maria del Fiore - the exhibition offers a retrospective of sculpture that was also to have a crucial impact on the development of the other figurative arts, in a direct debate with its classical predecessors, from the tombs of the Humanists, to the rebirth of the equestrian monument and the carved portrait. The carved portrait, which started to become popular towards the middle of the century - in the marble busts of Mino da Fiesole, Desiderio da Settignano and Antonio Rossellino - heralds the transition from fiorentina libertas to the private patronage that was soon to lead to the hegemony of the Medici family. In this context, the exhibition - wich opened whith the evocation of Brunelleschi's dome - closes with the evocation of the most illustrious private residence of the Renaissance in the shape of a Wooden Model of Palazzo Strozzi.
