The Italian Garden

Italian gardens vary widely according to their historical date and geographic location. This collection approaches Italian gardens of all periods, from the middle ages to modern times, and it ranges widely throughout the peninsula, from Genoa to Sicily, the Veneto to Liguria, and Ferrara to Florence. The authors are a distinguished group of Italian, American, English and German scholars, with different backgrounds in art history, literature, architecture, planning, and cultural history. The explorations of the subject from these different perspectives illuminate not only their own disciplines, but are concerned to make many fresh connections between garden art and the politics of nationalism, between the art of gardens and urban infrastructure, between cultural movements like freemasonry and site planning, between design and planting materials. The book offers therefore a narrative of the garden by selecting ten high points of its history, which are introduced with a consideration by the volume editor of the fresh challenges to contemporary Italian garden history.

In recent years, the Anglo-Italian sphere of artistic exchange in relation to painting has been an increasingly productive area of research. Here, contributors shift the focus onto the two countries' equally significant sculpture trade. This volume of selected essays by economic and social historians and historians of material culture and art investigates the varied roles and functions of sculpture and the ways in which this particular cultural exchange was manifested. Issues of business and the markets for sculpture are highlighted, both in the context of producers of "high"art and in the wider market of religious, garden and decorative sculpture.

Die Radikalisierung des Ästhetischen im Zeichen einer künstlichen Wahrnehmung macht den Kern dessen aus, was uns bis heute mit dem Rokoko verbindet. In der epochalen Suche nach dem reinen Farbton brach sich ein Kunstverständnis Bahn, in dem all das angelegt war, was Farbenindustrie und künstliche Helligkeit an neuen Reizen, Empfindungen, Öffnungs- und Enthemmungserlebnissen versprachen: Dissoziation von Körper und Farbe, radikale Reduktivität, Grund- und Fehlfarbenästhetik, psychedelischer Effekt. Unter dem Eindruck der physikalischen Brechung des Lichtes vollzog die blaue Epoche dermaßen die paradigmatische Wende zu einer Pluralisierung der Meinungen, wie sie seither zum Garanten einer demokratischen Friedensordnung geworden ist und dies auch weiterhin sein wird, solange zumindest, wie die Aufklärung, in deren Licht sich die Aufspaltung der alten Gesellschaft in ihre Teile vollzog, das Fundament unserer modernen Welt bleibt und das historische Wissen um diese Fundierung nicht verloren geht. »Und bei dem Blau fiel mir auf, dass es jenes bestimmte Blau des 18. Jahrhunderts ist«. (Rainer Maria Rilke, Briefe über Cézanne)
