Item Number: 127699 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. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O. Box 3904, Kingston, New York 12402 US Phone: 845-331-8519 Fax: 845-331-0852 Email: michael@artbooks.com |
