Born near the Tuscan province of Lucca in 1815, Domenico Brucciani became the most important and prolific maker of plaster casts in nineteenth-century Britain. This first substantive study shows how he and his business used public exhibitions, emerging museum culture and the nationalisation of art education to monopolise the market for reproductions of classical and contemporary sculpture. Based in Covent Garden in London, Brucciani built a network of fellow Italian émigré formatori and collaborated with other makers of facsimiles—including Elkington the electrotype manufacturers, Copeland the makers of Parian ware and Benjamin Cheverton with his sculpture reducing machine—to bring sculpture into the spaces of learning and leisure for as broad a public as possible.Brucciani’s plaster casts survive in collections from North America to New Zealand, but the extraordinary breadth of his practice—making death masks of the famous and infamous, producing pioneering casts of anatomical, botanical and fossil specimens and decorating dance halls and theatres across Britain—is revealed here for the first time. By making unprecedented use of the nineteenth-century periodical press and dispersed archival sources, Domenico Brucciani and the Formatori of Nineteenth-Century Britain establishes the significance of Brucciani’s sculptural practice to the visual and material cultures of Victorian Britain and beyond.

Domenico Antonio Vaccaros SS. Concezione a Montecalvario ist ein wenig bekanntes Chef d'Oeuvre des parthenopaischen Barocchetto. Ungewohnlich sind sowohl die bauliche Gestalt als auch das Dekorationssystem. Vaccaro experimentierte mit einem im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert sehr beliebten Raumschema: dem oktogonalen Zentralbau. Die mit ausgefallenen Kunstgriffen erzeugte Spannung zwischen Langsdehnung und Zentralitat schafft ein vollig neues Raumerlebnis. Ein grosses Thema ist auch die enge Verflechtung von Architektur und Dekoration. Der Raumschmuck nimmt dabei programmatischen Charakter an. Architektur, Skulptur und Malerei bilden ein koharentes Gefuge, das eine gemeinsame Uberwelt bezeichnet. Archivalische Funde aus dem Archivio Storico del Banco di Napoli machen die vorliegende Studie zu einer wichtigen Quellenpublikation zum neapolitanischen Settecento."

This book offers a fascinating account of the life and scientific achievements of Giovanni Domenico Cassini, or Cassini I, the most famous astronomer of his time, who is remembered today especially for his observations of the rings and satellites of Saturn and his earlier construction of the great meridian line in the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna. The various stages of his life are recounted in an engaging style, from his early childhood in Perinaldo and his time at the famous Jesuit College in Genoa, to his later experiences in Bologna and Paris. The emphasis, however, is on the scientific side of his life. The book explores his impressive body of work in diverse fields while also drawing attention to the international character of his endeavors, the rigor of his research, and his outstanding management skills, which combined to make him an early embodiment of the “European scientist.” It was also these abilities that gained him the attention of the most powerful king in Europe, Louis XIV of France (the “Sun King”), under the auspices of whom he set up the Paris Observatory in 1671. He would go on to serve as Director of the Observatory, where he would make the majority of his scientific discoveries, for the rest of his life.
