Scattered light foxing.First and only edition… of this rare work, a sort of "catalogue raisonné ante litteram" wanted and produced by the most important sculptor restorer of the eighteenth century, the Roman Bartolomeo Cavaceppi (1716-1799), an original character in his triple role as entrepreneur / restorer / scholar, and central not only in the nascent culture of restoration, but tout court in the scenario of the history of art and in the artistic debate of his time.The three volumes, produced separately between '68 and '72, have an importance that concurs only with their extrinsic beauty, a total of over 180 full-page engravings that from the beginning and probably also in the editorial intention were destined to be sold also separately, and therefore very rare to find fully bound as in the present set.The three volumes, in the iconographic and textual part, have enormous importance in the history of restoration, but more generally in the history of art and sculpture, both for their opulent iconographic apparatus, and for the text part, text that precedes each one of the three collections and consists of a series of monographs intended to discuss (and resolve) issues on the restoration and trade of antiquity much debated at the time of these writings and already addressed, but only in part, about the restoration of paintings. Clearly the theoretical questions on the restoration of sculptures extends the temporal horizon of the debate, which until then only concerned paintings and frescoes, and therefore works of art that were not as ancient.No less original is the commercial intent that prompted the author to create this book: already known and appreciated (and rich) at the time of the publication of the first volume, Cavaceppi catalogs his restorations also with the aim of advertising the quality of his work and sell the works themselves (those published in the first volume had already been sold or almost all, while in the second there are at least 41 purchasable works and in the third 23). The textual part confirms this intention: the "Collection is intended for a selected audience of sovereigns, nobles, especially British and German collectors with respect to whom the author tries on the one hand to accredit his very high professionalism, on the other to put himself on a collaborative plan, providing for example useful information to unmask the false "(see Meyer, SA - Piva, C.," The art of well-restored. The 'Collection of ancient statues by Bartolomeo Cavaceppi ", 2011).The choice and development of the arguments that make up the part of the text supports, in short, the originality of the editorial operation: following an introduction, contained in each volume with a different text, and directed "To the amateurs of ancient sculpture" , the author immediately enters, in the first volume, on the subject with an essay, "On the art of well restoring the ancient statues", which is both a theoretical premise to the work of restorer and self-promotion of his work and his workshop; in the second volume (printed in '69) we find another writing "Of the deceptions that are used in the trade of ancient sculptures" clearly aimed at reassuring possible patrons, collectors and customers, as well as what would later be the most famous writing of Cavaceppi, or the "Description of the trip to Germany" made in '68 together with his friend Winckelmann: a trip that would have been, among other things, the last episode in Winckelmann's life, as he was murdered in Trieste on the way back to Rome; Winckelmann's murder had a huge echo at the time, and the timely publication of the account of this tour, carried out by the two in the German courts before the death of.
