Other Mosaics, Paintings, Sarcophagi and Small Objects
By (author) John Osborne By (author) Amanda Claridge
Catalogued here is a diverse and fascinating range of antiquities, mainly collected in the later seventeeth century: reliefs, inscriptions, sarcophagi, sculpture, manuscript illuminations, gold-glass, gems, ivories, lamps, metalwork and ‘instruments of martyrdom’.
This volume completes Part II of Series A of the Paper Museum. Together with the first volume, it reflects an unusual aspect of Cassiano’s interests, but a particularly relevant one for modern scholars: the material remains of post-classical culture in Rome and the psychical inheritance from the earliest centuries of Christianity. Catalogued here is a diverse and fascinating range of antiquities: reliefs, inscriptions, sarcophagi, sculpture, manuscript illuminations, gold-glass, gems, ivories, lamps, metalwork and ‘instruments of martyrdom’. The drawings were mainly collected by Carlo Antonio dal Pozzo, Cassiano’s brother, in the later seventeeth century and include some of the finest examples of archaeological draughtsmanship of the period.
