Castellani and Italian Archaeological Jewelry
During the nineteenth century in Rome, three generations of the Castellani family created what they called “Italian archaeological jewelry,” which was inspired by the precious Etruscan, Roman, Greek, and Byzantine antiquities being excavated at the time. The Castellani jewelry consisted of finely wrought gold that was often combined with delicate and colorful mosaics, carved gemstones, or enamel. This magnificent book is the first to display and discuss the jewelry and the family behind it. International scholars discuss the life and work of the Castellani, revealing the wide-ranging aspects of the family’s artistic and cultural activities. They describe the making and marketing of the jewelry, the survey collection of all periods of Italian jewelry on display in the Castellani’s palatial store, and the Castellani’s activities in the trade of antiquities, as they sponsored excavations, and restored, dealt, and exhibited antiques. They also recount the family’s involvement in the cultural and political life of their city and country.
Catherine II
Catherine II de Russie (1729-1796) est l’un des personnages les plus mythiques de l’Histoire russe. Et pourtant cette impératrice n’a pas une seule goutte de sang russe… Rien ne prédestine cette petite princesse allemande, née Sophie Frédérique Augusta d’Anhalt-Zerbst en 1729 à Stettin en Poméranie, à devenir un jour impératrice de toutes les Russies, héritière spirituelle de Pierre le Grand. Sa vie est un véritable roman avec ses débuts difficiles, de nombreux obstacles jonchés sur son chemin, un couronnement suivi de triomphes militaires et politiques et de grandes déceptions qui parsèment sa vie privée. Tantôt glorifiée en tant que disciple des Lumières et am...
Etruscology
This handbook has two purposes: it is intended (1) as a handbook of Etruscology or Etruscan Studies, offering a state-of-the-art and comprehensive overview of the history of the discipline and its development, and (2) it serves as an authoritative reference work representing the current state of knowledge on Etruscan civilization. The organization of the volume reflects this dual purpose. The first part of the volume is dedicated to methodology and leading themes in current research, organized thematically, whereas the second part offers a diachronic account of Etruscan history, culture, religion, art & archaeology, and social and political relations and structures, as well as a systematic treatment of the topography of the Etruscan civilization and sphere of influence.
