Title: 18th Century Neapolitan Nativity Scenes and Painting. The Still Life
Author: Noce Benigni Olivieri, Gherardo
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9788865571477
Description: Roma: De Luca, 2013. 33cm., hardcover, 112pp., 100 color plates. English text. Summary: This study is devoted to an aspect of art that has been previously been neglected by art dealers, historians and critics : the close relationship that has always existed between painting, particularly in Naples in the 17th and 18th centuries, and 18th-century Neapolitan nativity scenes. A series of illustrations will demonstrate the remarkable affinities to be found between the latter - still life, tableaux in wax, terracotta, wood and three dimensional, which, in the case of Neapolitan nativity scenes, is usually called finimento - and the still lifes painted by the greatest masters of the genre at the time, in Naples and beyond. Images and, to a lesser extent, words will speak of the profound bonds between artworks in miniature, the hallmarks of Neapolitan nativity scenes, and those on canvas.
