Within the decorative arts of the Italian Renaissance, enamelled copperware is a rare and precious product, traditionally attributed to Venice, reflecting the taste of a wealthy clientele in the late 15th and first half of the 16th century.
This publication offers a synthesis of the interdisciplinary research carried out by the Department of Works of Art of the Louvre Museum, the Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Musées de France and the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice.
Volume I contains the proceedings of the colloquium held at the Giorgio Cini Foundation in 2014 and is developed along four main lines: the context of production in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; collections and collecting from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries; the contributions of science to the knowledge of their technology and constituent materials; conservation and restoration. Volume II concentrates on the works themselves and proposes, through a corpus of 134 objects, the study of gilding decoration, heraldic analysis, lexicon and typological analysis of forms, followed by a catalogue of the works identified to date.
