Sculpture Fonte des Statues Équestres Casting on Equestrian Statues. Encyclopédie ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences des arts et des métiers. Plates vol. 8.
Paris 1771. Folio 253 x 393mm. 3 pages of descriptive text & 5 loose plates with their accompanying text sheet. Slight browning to margins a little spotting otherwise very good. § The 5 plates and descriptive text for the entry of Sculpture Fonte des Statues Équestres from volume VIII of plates. Plates are numbered 1-5. Plate 3 is continued on a second sheet Plate 4 is a double plate and plate 5 is a triple plate.1 page 822 from volume XIV of the Encyclopédie 1765 including Observations sur les chevaux des statues équestres2 pages 497 & 502 from volume XV of the Encyclopédie 1765 including information on Équestre StatueWith some browning to a few leaves.This suite of plates is noteworthy as a record of the practises of sculptors of this period. The illustrations and their explanations are influenced heavily by the writing and descriptions of Germain Boffrand. Boffrand had served as the first architect of numerous 18th-century noblemen and had been a witness to the casting of Louis XIV's statue by Giradon and Jean-Balthazar Keller. The statue was melted during the revolution and only a smaller model remains which can be found in the Musée du Louvre. On hearing of the troubles Lemoyne was having casting a similar statue of Louis XV Boffrand sought to assist Lemoyne recognising that he was the only remaining assistant who had taken notes at the earlier casting. Boffrand wrote his Description de ce qui a été Practiqué pour Fondre en Bronze d'un Seul Jet la Figure Équestre de Louis XIV enabling Lemoyne to complete his work although this statue was also later destroyed in the Revolution. Diderot's plates here presented are an almost exact copy of Boffrand's originals only shrunk and simplified to suit the Encylopédie's format.Included with these plates is the relevant entry for equestrian statues written by Jaucourt the 18th-century aristocrat who wrote around one quarter of the Encyclopédie voluntarily. unknown

Slight browning to margins a little spotting otherwise very good. § The 5 plates and descriptive text for the entry of Mosaïque from volume VIII of plates. Plates are numbered 1-5. Plate 4 is a double plate.1 page 659 from volume VIII of the Encyclopédie 1765 including Les Romains11 pages 78 79 & 741-750 from volume X of the Encyclopédie 1765 including information on Compartimens de pavés en marbre and Mosaïque en général.1 page 193 from volume XII of the Encyclopédie 1765 including L'usage des pavés en mosaïque à Rome.1 page 353 from volume III of the Supplément à l'Encyclopédie 1777 which includes Mosaïque de Herculanum.Included with these plates are several relevant entries on Mosaics including the main ten-page article by Chevalier Louis de Jaucourt. The article primarily concerns the role of mosaics in Christendom philosophy and also their manufacture. Despite focusing largely on the sciences Jaucourt has been regarded as an important philosopher as well. The article for mosaics is therefore a good example of this polymath's varied interest and specialties. The 5 plates largely concern the workmanship of this art and the atelier itself. 8 mosaic patterns are also reproduced including Europe Raised by Jupiter Neptune and his Trident and a Barge on the Nile. There is one double plate depicting the Nile Mosaic of Palestrina with various useful annotations. Thought to be the earliest Roman depiction of Nilotic scenes close examination suggests that it was produced in the reign of Sulla ca. 100 B.C. It is important for a number of reasons and could possibly be one of the mosaics referred to by Pliny in his Naturalis Historiœ. Having remained in the Barberini family since the 17th-century the mosaic can now be found in the Museu Nazionale Prenestino. unknown

DIDEROT DENIS
Diderot on Art. Volume 1. The Salon of 1765 and Notes on Painting
2009. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo 21.5 cm XXVII 252 pp. Laminated wrappers. From the blurb: ''The editor of the 'Encyclopedie' and author of idiosyncratic works of fiction such as 'Rameau's Nephew' Denis Diderot 1713-84 was also the first great art critic. His most important productions in this genre -- the ''Salon of 1765'' and the ''Salon of 1767'' each occasioned by one of the biennial exhibitions held in the Louvre -- are among the most brilliant and captivating texts of the French eighteenth century and this edition makes them available in English for the first time. Diderot's writings on art the most important before Baudelaire are poised between the eras of aesthetic idealism of princely patronage and the modern art market. They take the many contradictions of this transitional moment in Western visual culture as their object of study exploring them with all the sparkling wit analytic penetration and human empathy which Diderot could command. An introduction by Thomas Crow describes the peculiar circumstances under which these texts were written and concise notes make it possible for non-specialist readers to keep their bearings in the vividly evoked world of late eighteenth-century Paris.'' paperback
