Short description:
Giovanni Bastianini (1830?1868) was a gifted Florentine sculptor, but an
outstanding creator of fakes. This book explores both his
own style and the style of the works he sold as Renaissance art, and the nature
of the demand for them.
Long description:
Giovanni Bastianini (1830-1868) was a Florentine sculptor whose creations
answered to the growing demand for Renaissance and Renaissance-like works of
art during the second half of the 19th century. Arguably the most infamous and
gifted imitator/faker of Italian Renaissance sculpture, he became a subject of great
controversy during his lifetime that continues to this day.
This book examines Bastianini?s total oeuvre, exploring the differences
between his pseudo-Renaissance and his contemporary ?period? style. At the same
time, it places him firmly within the economic, political and cultural context that
encouraged the production of neo-Renaissance art, which found a ready market
in both Europe and the New World. The book will be of great interest not only to
scholars of Italian Renaissance and nineteenth-century sculpture attempting to
sort out the authentic from works of questionable attribution, but also to those
engaged in the history of taste and the conditions surrounding the Risorgimento
that promoted the creation and acquisition of Renaissance art and artifacts in both
Europe and the New World during the latter part of the nineteenth century.
