About This Item

Olschki. cm. 21,5 x 30, 274 pp. con 126 figg. f.t. di cui 20 a col. Rilegato. Fondazione Carlo Marchi - Studi Primo studio di insieme sul collezionista e committente inglese (1810-1903) - personalit? poliedrica e geniale, notissima ai suoi tempi - il saggio ne ricostruisce la storia, analizza i suoi rapporti con l'ambiente di Oxford e con la societ? culturale di Firenze Capitale e racconta l'affascinante avventura del restauro 'in stile' del medievale Castello di Vincigliata sulle colline fiesolane. Fondamentale la ricostruzione della dispersa collezione d'arte che il mecenate allest? scenograficamente all'interno del castello e la riscoperta di artigiani e artisti attivi a Vincigliata e poi impegnati nei pi? celebri cantieri di restauro di edifici monumentali fiorentini. The first comprehensive study on this English collector and purchaser (1810-1903) - a versatile and ingenious personality, well-known in his time - reconstructs the story of this figure, analyses his relationship with the environment of Oxford and the cultural society of Florence (then capital of Italy) and relates the fascinating adventure of the 'stylish' restoration of the Medieval castle of Vincigliata on the hills of Fiesole. The reconstruction of the lost art collection that this English patron scenographically arranged within the castle itself, is of fundamental importance as is also the rediscovery of craftsmen and artists working in Vincigliata and subsequently employed in some of the most famous sites dealing with the restoration of monumental Florentine buildings. 1685 gr. 274 p. . nuovo. Rilegato. 1997.
