Les multiples: une définition du champ de recherche et un cas particulier, les "doubles"
Get PDFAu cours des dernières décennies, la réflexion sur le thème des multiples s’est surtout
concentrée autour des procédés de production, des formes de hiérarchisation entre
versions semblables, de la répartition des rôles et des responsabilités auctoriales. Les chercheurs ont relativement moins exploré les questions concernant la réception des objets à peu près identiques, en particulier celle des différentes manières de conceptualiser des degrés de similarité tout aussi élevés (y compris en contexte juridique). Si l’on émancipe l’étude des multiples de la simple reconstruction de techniques, procédés, innovations et chronologies relatives au sein d’une série, il devient possible de mettre en évidence les valeurs spécifiques qu’une communauté attribue à certains objets et à leurs procédés d’exécution. L’histoire des inventions et des choix techniques d’un artiste se comprend aussi mieux à la lumière des pratiques culturelles qui concernent l’objet répliqué
Le medaglie del Museo Nazionale del Bargello: Europa occidentale (Regni d'Inghilterra, di Scozia, d'Irlanda, di Francia, di Navarra, delle Spagne, di Portogallo e Algarve), secoli XV-XVII. Storia della collezione e catalogo
No full textIl Museo Nazionale del Bargello di Firenze, anche a seguito di un deposito permanente del Museo Archeologico Nazionale fiorentino (2001), custodisce un numero molto cospicuo di medaglie raccolte dai Medici, dai Lorena e dai conservatori della Galleria degli Uffizi succedutisi tra il XVIII e il XIX secolo, oltre che da collezioniste e collezionisti che ne hanno poi fatto dono al Comune e allo Stato italiano a partire dal 1865. Il fondo così costituitosi, se se ne esclude la sezione riguardante gli Stati della penisola italiana, non è mai stato pubblicato e riprodotto nella sua interezza: questo catalogo ne descrive i pezzi anteriori al 1700 e riconducibili a centri di produzione situati a ovest del Sacro Romano Impero.
Il saggio di apertura ricostruisce la storia del medagliere mediceo-lorenese a partire dal XVIII secolo. L’interesse della raccolta risiede innanzitutto nei suoi molteplici intrecci con le pratiche sociali, il collezionismo e gli sviluppi disciplinari di più secoli, oltre che nella rarità di molti pezzi e nella possibilità di documentarne le vicende a partire dal XVII secolo (come illustrato, in fondo al volume, dalle concordanze tra gli inventari sei-, sette- e ottocenteschi e quello corrente).The Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence holds a very large number of medals once collected by the Medici, the Lorraine, and the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century keepers of the Uffizi Gallery. This collection has not been published and reproduced in its full extent (if we exclude its section concerning the States of the Italian peninsula).
This catalogue describes the pieces dated before 1700 that can be traced back to to the centres of production west of the Holy Roman Empire.
The opening essay reconstructs in detail the history of the Medici-Lorraine medal collection from the 18th century onwards. The significance of this collection stems first and foremost from its entanglements with social practices, collecting trends and disciplinary developments over several centuries. Its earliest accessions can be said to reflect the scope of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Florentine diplomacy and scholarship. Another point of interest lays in the rarity of many pieces and in the possibility to trace their history from the seventeenth century onwards.
The study of the single pieces (many of which are tied to particularly complex scenarios or under-explored areas of production) has provided an opportunity to advance the state of the art in the single reconstructions and with respect to the methodological and geographical problems raised by medal scholarship

«Per la delettatione che delle memorie antiche generosamente suol prendere»: le antichità di Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle, il Bacco D’Aspra-Guisa ed un’ipotesi sul Dioniso di Versailles
No full textThe contribution addresses the early activity of Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle (1517–1586), Minister to Emperor Charles V of Habsburg, and Charles of Guise (1524-1574), Cardinal of Lorraine, as collectors. Unpublished letters from Spanish and Italian archives cast new light on Granvelle’s antiquarian interests and his acquisitions in the fields of classical sculpture, plaster casts, ancient coins, cameos, drawings and prints in the period spanning 1541 to 1561. Such art objects were sent as gifts to Granvelle from Rome, Milan and Fontainebleau. Among them was Primaticcio’s free-hand copy of a small model, possibly by Leonardo da Vinci, for an equestrian monument.
The paper also reconstructs the history of an ancient Bacchus «intero con mano et piede» proceeding from the Roman estate of Francesco d’Aspra and donated to Charles of Guise by Pope Julius III in 1550. This marble statue can be identified with the so-called Dionysus of Versailles (Paris, Musée du Louvre), formerly exhibited in the Castle of Meudon
Culture di scambio: medaglie e medaglisti italiani tra Milano, Bruxelles e Madrid (1535-1571)
No full textNei decenni centrali del XVI secolo le corti di Carlo V, Maria d’Ungheria e Filippo II d'Asburgo, le loro parentele e i viaggi dei loro ministri, ufficiali e ritrattisti favorirono una rete di relazioni che sfugge ai modelli interpretativi delle storie dell’arte nazionali e regionali: le vicende delle medaglie che videro la luce o transitarono in questi circuiti ne sono testimoni.
Attraverso profili di artisti, effigiati, committenti, ideatori, donatori, fruitori e possessori di medaglie questo libro esplora le pratiche sociali e le forme di riconoscimento reciproco legate alla loro esecuzione, promozione e accettazione.
In questo senso, la produzione, circolazione e conservazione di microritratti si dimostrano cartine al tornasole utili per valutare le forme di scambio e cooperazione maturate tra Milano, Bruxelles e altri centri dei domini asburgici
Replication, Iconographic Seriality, and Cross-Cultural Issues: New Perspectives on the Portrait Cameos of Philip II
No full textThe article questions the extent to which the dissemination, reception and iconographic seriality of large cast medals can be said to have shaped those of gem likenesses of rulers in the sixteenth century. This interaction between gems and medals is particularly noteworthy in portraits of Philip II of Spain (1527-98), a monarch who promoted the production of cameos and artefacts in hardstone as part of a strategy of self-representation. The article focuses on five examples of iconographic seriality, polycentric production, and cross-cultural relations involving portrait cameos of Philip II. It also reconsiders the activity of Jacopo da Trezzo, Girolamo Miseroni, and Giampaolo Poggini in this field, re-assesses the authorship of works traditionally ascribed to Jacopo, and proposes a new attribution for the cameo with the likenesses of Philip II and his son don Carlos in the Museo degli Argenti in Florence
