Carmelo Malacrino analizza i celebri capolavori del V secolo a.C. sotto il duplice aspetto dell'opera d'arte antica e del loro significato nella cultura contemporanea. Viene ripercorsa la vicenda dei Bronzi a partire dalla loro scoperta nell'agosto del 1972, approfondendo le circostanze del recupero, i restauri, le esposizioni, nonché l'impatto sul pubblico a livello nazionale e internazionale. Ma non meno importanza viene data alla rilettura delle due statue partendo da una loro contestualizzazione in seno all'arte greca, alle questioni stilistiche ad essa relative, e alla riflessione intorno alle pratiche e ai saperi delle botteghe statuarie classiche. Questa pubblicazione sorprenderà gli amanti della statuaria classica, gli appassionati di archeologia e tutti coloro che non si accontentano di uno sguardo fugace quando ammirano un'opera d'arte.

[From front jacket flap] Architectural remains are among the most important archaeological evidence we have from Greco-Roman antiquity, helping us to understand the values and the technology of the societies that created them. In this richly illustrated book, Carmelo G. Malacrino relies on architectural remains as well as on ancient literary and historical sources to present a wide-ranging overview of the materials and techniques used by ancient Greek and Roman builders from the third century B.C. to the fifth century A.D. The author begins by examining the variety of materials used in ancient buildings and discussing how these materials varied across time and geographical location, often giving a regional look to architecture. From the Greeks' early employment of wood, plant materials, and clay to their adoption of stone as the principal building material in the seventh century B.C., Malacrino traces the development of increasingly sophisticated technologies to quarry and prepare stones for shipment to their building sites. The theme of construction technology occupies the central part of the book, with a discussion of the Greeks' mastery of the process of working with white marbles, the material preferred by the leading architects of antiquity. The Greeks devised several ingenious methods for transporting materials from quarries to building sites, including inclined roads that were specially paved to act as slipways and underwater suspension systems set between two ships. They also invented hoisting systems for raising and positioning monumental elements. The Romans not only expanded on the engineering experiments of the Greeks but also developed their own methods and materials, such as their version of concrete (opus caementicium), which was used to make the vaulted roof of the Pantheon, an advance unequaled for many centuries.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This publication was designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the Riace Bronzes. In it, Luigi Spina's photographic research dialogs with the texts written by Carmelo Malacrino. The photographer here develops a continued narrative, offering a direct comparison between the two sculptures, identified as A and B, exploring interpretations of the physicality of the two subjects as well as the three-dimensional quality of the bronze bodies, often concealed by the two-dimensional appearance of photographic images. Carmelo Malacrino analyzes these famous 5th century BC masterpieces from two points of view: as ancient works of art on the one hand, and considering their significance for contemporary culture on the other. He retraces the story of the Bronzes beginning with their discovery in August, 1972, exploring the circumstances of their unearthing, the restoration they underwent, the exhibitions in which they were shown, as well as the impact they have had on the public, both nationally and internationally. Equally relevant is the reinterpretation of these two statues, beginning with their contextualization in the sphere of ancient Greek art, the related stylistic issues, and the reflection upon the practices and the knowledge possessed by Classical sculpture workshops.

Brossura. Condizione: new. Reggio Calabria, Museo Archeologico Nazionale, 4 agosto 2023 - 14 gennaio 2024. A cura di Iozzo M. e Malacrino C. A cura di Carmelo Malacrino, Mario Iozzo, Barbara Arbeid. Milano, 2024; br., pp. 192, 100 ill. col., cm 21x21. (Archeologia, Arte Primitiva e Orientale). Gli Etruschi eccellevano nella produzione di spettacolari oreficerie e oggetti in bronzo, votivi o domestici. Questa misteriosa civiltà sviluppatasi nell'Italia centrale dall'età del Ferro (attraverso gli apporti di popoli diversi) fino all'integrazione romana realizzatasi tra il IV e il I secolo a.C, attinse molto dai Greci e dai loro miti, che venivano rielaborati e reinterpretati secondo il gusto degli artigiani, del pantheon etrusco e delle tradizioni locali. "Mentre noi pensiamo che i fulmini si verificano perché le nuvole si scontrano, gli Etruschi ritengono che le nuvole si scontrino proprio per inviare un messaggio divino". Con queste parole, Seneca nel secondo libro delle Naturales Quaestiones riassumeva la particolarità delle credenze etrusche secondo le quali le divinità influenzavano le attività umane inviando segnali che dovevano essere decodificati. Pubblicato a corredo dell'omonima mostra, Le nuvole e il fulmine presenta oltre cento opere provenienti dal Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze: statue, preziosi oggetti in oro, argento e bronzo, ceramiche figurate e le caratteristiche urne cinerarie decorate con i più distintivi motivi etruschi, tra cui quello dei defunti sul coperchio. Il volume illustra il fascino della civiltà etrusca, vista attraverso gli aspetti della vita quotidiana, dei culti e dei rituali funerari; un'attenzione specifica è rivolta alle pratiche religiose della divinazione, con particolare evidenza all'abitudine degli Etruschi di trarre presagi dal volo degli uccelli, dalle viscere degli animali e dall'osservazione del cielo con i suoi fenomeni atmosferici. Tra gli straordinari capolavori spiccano canopi, corredi funebri, la cosiddetta Mater Matuta (una statua cineraria femminile), oltre a terracotte, statuette e specchi in bronzo che testimoniano la varietà (e la diversità) del pantheon etrusco, come il bronzetto di Tinia (Zeus etrusco), quello di Menerva (Athena) o quello di Uni (Juno Sospita).
