MUSEUMS. Bianchi Giuseppe b. ca. 1727
Ragguaglio delle Antichità e Rarità che si conservano nella Galleria Mediceo-Imperiale di Firenze. Parte I all published Opera Di Giuseppe Bianchi Custode Della Medesima…
<p>Florence: Nella stamperia Imperiale 1759</p><p>Octavo: 19 x 14.3 cm. p. xiii i 236 1 errata; Collation: a8 -a8 blank A-P8 -P8 blank Complete.<br /></p><p>FIRST EDITION.</p><p>A crisp bright copy in original three-quarter calf and speckled paper over boards spine with floral ornaments. The text is adorned with attractive woodcut initials and headpieces.</p><p>First edition of the first guide to one of the world's most important museums. This guide to the Medici collections of the Uffizi Gallery was written by the museum's first custodian who had been appointed after the gallery's conversion to a public institution under the terms established by the last of the Medici the Palatine Electrix Anna Maria Ludovica in 1737. The custodian Giuseppe Bianchi is a notorious figure. He was later found to have robbed the Uffizi of works of precious metal which he melted down and sold. He was condemned to exile for his perfidy. See Barrochi and Bertelà "Danni e furti di Giuseppe Bianchi in Galleria Labyrinthos 13/16 1988-89 321-336.</p><p>Bianchi's guide published in the same year that the British Museum opened to the public is an important record of the disposition and scope of the newly "public" collections in the period prior to their dramatic reorganization by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo of Lorraine 1780-82. In some instances the notices in the guide are the earliest extant record for some works in the collections. The portable and scholarly guide is similar in format and composition to Pasquale Massi's 1792 guide to the Vatican Museums which Bianchi's guide predates by a generation.</p><p>Bianchi prefaces his tour with a history of the construction of the Uffizi palace designed and begun by Vasari in 1560 and completed –following Vasari's design- by Alfonso Parigi and Bernardo Buontalenti in 1581. This is followed by a description of the various elements that make up the entire palace complex. </p><p>The formal guide to the galleries begins with a detailed description of the decorative program of the frescoed ceilings and the series of portraits that line the walls beneath them. This is followed by descriptions and commentaries on each of the 62 statues and 92 busts housed in the galleries in this period. Francesco I was the first Medici to add ancient marbles to the newly completed Uffizi and these ancient sculptures were juxtaposed with contemporary Renaissance masterpieces. Thus we find in Bianchi's guide the famous Medici Venus the Niobe group Bandonelli's Laocöon and Michelangelo's Bacchus. The sarcophagus of Hippolytus is absent since it was still in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in 1759.</p><p>Next Bianchi takes us into the Camera dei Pittori. Yet here he is unable to give a comprehensive discussion. This is due in large part to the sheer size of the collection but also to the fact that the painting collection has changed so much over the years some of the paintings having been transferred to the Pitti Palace others that formerly hung in the Palace having come to the Gallery and others still having been given as gifts to great lords or used to decorate villas. Moreover the paintings are in many media: oil tempera fresco and encaustic. Bianchi decides to focus on the collection of artist self-portraits which are divided into the three principal schools arrived at by the consensus of the most famous scholars of the art of painting: Romana Lombarda and Oltramontana. Here we find the famous self-portrait of Raphael.</p><p>From here we pause briefly in the Camera delle Porcellane before entering the Camera degl' Idoli with its collection of 300 Greek Roman Etruscan and Egyptian bronzes which Bianchi considers in detail. Next we enter the Camera delle Arti where we find paintings by Raphael Andrea del Sarto Leonardo Botticelli Mantegna and Fra Angelico. In the Camera de' Fiamminghi are housed 140 paintings by northern European artists: Albrecht Dürer Lucas Cranach Van Dyck Brueghel and Callot among others. </p><p>The German Cabinet:</p><p>The center of the Camera delle Arti is occupied by a wondrous machine for which Bianchi provides a two-page description. It is a magnificent octagonal cabinet over nine feet tall incorporating a clock a pneumatic organ and moving figures in silver. The architectural details are all composed of granatiglia an ebony-like luxury hardwood and the surfaces of the cabinet are inlaid with precious stone including lapis jasper and verde antico. The cabinet is adorned with painted scenes of the Old and New Testaments which are rendered so minutely and with such fine skill that they are believed to be by the school of Brueghel. Within the cabinet is a machine that rotates showing four scenes: birds and arabesques executed in stone-inlay; a wax relief of the deposition "the work of the immortal Buonarroti"; an amber relief of Jesus and the Apostles; and an amber crucifixion scene. The final ornament of the machine is a mirror box that produces an infinite number of reflections. Bianchi tells us that the cabinet was made in Germany "around a century ago" and was purchased by Grand Duke Ferdinando II 1610-1670.</p><p>The sixth camera houses mathematical instruments and a pair of celestial and terrestrial globes. Among the marvels here are an enormous magnet and a huge burning mirror. It was with the addition of the mathematical and scientific collections that the Uffizi began to take on the aspect of a wunderkammer.</p><p>Next we enter the heart of the museum the Tribuna the octagonal room that houses the most important treasures of the Uffizi. Bianchi begins with individual descriptions of the 14 marble statues among them the Medici Venus the Wrestlers the Dancing Satyr the Arrotino and the infant Hercules.

First and sole edition of this comprehensive catalogue of the collection of Pedro Francisco Dávila. The Dávila catalog as it has become known describes 8096 mineral specimens that encompass a large range of localities including a suite of specimens from Potosà in Spanish America as well as many items from Canada Mexico and Paraguay. In addition the catalog lists 5253 shells 600 preserved animals 101 plants 3915 fossils 154 bezoars and calculi and 402 books. Over 12000 prints and engravings 1741 original artworks 441 maps as well as various scientific instruments and precious stones are also described. "Pedro Francisco Dávila possessor of the largest collection of natural history specimens in Paris and wishing to establish an institution in Spain to preserve it approached King Carlos III of Spain. But political difficulties and an approaching war with England distracted the king who declined the purchase. Because of debts incurred building the collection creditors forced Dávila to put the accumulation up for auction in Paris. For this purpose a detailed collection catalog was required. Dávila had already written many descriptions but it was his introduction through Balthasar Sage to the young Romé de l'Isle that created this remarkable record of the collection. "Romé de l'Isle took the existing material added considerably to the mineralogical descriptions and put the catalog into publishable form. In this task he was assisted by Abbé Duguat who helped with the mineralogical descriptions and Abbé Gua de Malves 1712-1786 who described the shells. Through their efforts two volumes describing natural history specimens were produced one of which was entirely devoted to minerals. In addition a third volume written by Romé de l'Isle probably with assistance from Pierre Remy describes the fossils artwork and books. The published catalog provides a detailed insight into his collection his special tastes and preferences. The major value of the collection lay in its superb mineral specimens many of which were finely crystallized examples. Romé de l'Isle fully described the many fine mineralogical specimens which included examples of native silver from Norway cassiterite from the Dutch East Indies crocoite from Siberia pyrite from Columbia and calcite from Saxony etc. Dávila had been a collector for over 20 years when his accumulation was auctioned. In that time he or his agents had acquired specimens at other auctions including those that liquidated the collections of Albertus Seba in 1752 the Abbé Joly de Fleury in 1755 Claude Geoffroy in 1753 and others. Dávila's catalog received wide distribution in Paris London Amsterdam Rotterdam and Basle. This helped push the total realized by Dávila to over 800000 Spanish reales more than enough to pay of his creditors and to finance a second collection which he immediately began to build. Within two or three years he had again amassed a sizable collection specializing in minerals and selected with more knowledge and experience than his first collection had been. Once again he dreamed of establishing the cabinet in Madrid. In October 1771 this became reality when King Carlos III agreed to take over his collections with Dávila serving as director for life. This enormous collection eventually passed into the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid where Dávila's specimens are still preserved today."The Mineralogical Record Conlon 67:1238; Nissen ZBI 1050; Sinkankas 1594; Wilson History of Mineral Collecting 1994: 136-40 166 & 209 provides a detailed history of the collections M.
