Early Italian Paintings - Approaches To Conservation
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
In this work, some of the world's most respected art historians, conservators, curators and conservation scientists explore issues in the preservation and restoration of Italian paintings that date from the 13th to the 16th century. Together their essays illustrate ways in which these associated disciplines can enhance one another's understanding of works of art. The authors address not only the conservation of early Italian pictures but also overall philosophies and problems, past and present, of conservation. These topics include: prevailing attitudes toward conservation methodologies in the 20th century; the presentation of damaged and fragmented paintings; the implications of varnishes used in early Italian painting; the aesthetics and practice of retouching and restoration; and the identification of the artists' and conservators' materials. The book is the publication of the proceedings of a symposium that took place at the Yale University Art Gallery in April of 2002. Hardback with illustrated front cover.
