The archaeological finds at Herculaneum and Pompeii have rendered Naples an especially rich field for the study of the history of restorations, particularly of ancient bronzes. Bringing together the research of an international group of curators, conservators, archivists, and scientists, this extensively illustrated online volume examines the evolving practice of bronze restoration in Naples and other European centers from the eighteenth century to today. Presenting the results of new investigations, this collection of essays and case studies addresses the contexts in which the restorations took place, the techniques and materials used, the role of specialists, and changing attitudes to the display of these statues. Along with a rich selection of images, these texts offer a significant contribution to the history of restoration and conservation, providing valuable information regarding the evolution of taste and museum practices at a formative stage of modern archaeology. The essays collected here were written following a series of presentations at a one-day conference, "Restoring Ancient Bronzes in the Nineteenth Century," held at the J. Paul Getty Museum on May 6, 2011. Each illustrated essay is accompanied by a separate gallery of large-format images to facilitate study and analysis.

"This is the first study that adopts a comprehensive, thorough, and interdisciplinary approach toward early Chinese lost-wax castings. With more than 80 images, this book provides a study on the "norms," which are seldom questioned. By examining the reasons why Chinese founders often chose not to use the lost-wax process they had clearly mastered, the book refutes the idea that lost-wax technology is the only "right way" to cast bronzes. This study demonstrates that a "norm" is in many ways an illusion that twists our comprehension of art, technology, civilization, and history"--

In jüngster Zeit erlangen Untersuchungen zur Herstellung von Bronzeobjekten besondere Bedeutung. Der Band dokumentiert aus einem zentralen Kulturbereich Mitteleuropas alle in West- und Süddeutschland gefundenen Gie�formen aus Keramik, Metall und Stein und diskutiert ausführlich Funktionsweise, Zeitstellung und Verbreitung sowie ihren jeweiligen Fundkontext (Siedlungen, Hortfunde, Grabfunde). Es konnten für das Arbeitsgebiet ca. 170 Gie�formen erfasst werden. Überlieferungsbedingt bestehen sie hauptsächlich aus Stein, gefolgt von Metall (Bronze) und, sehr selten, von Formen aus Keramik. Die materialbedingten Gie�eigenschaften werden eingehend erörtert. Im Fokus stehen die unterschiedlichen Gesteinsarten, die für Gie�formen verwendet wurden.0Die Studie schlie�t eine gro�e Lücke in der Vorlage der Gie�formen in Europa und erörtert für die in der Reihe Prähistorische Bronzefunde zahlreich edierten Fundgruppen aus Süd- und Westdeutschland die herstellungstechnischen Grundlagen. Der Band enthält einen Katalog- und Abbildungsteil mit 70 Tafeln. In einem Zusatzbeitrag untersucht Albrecht Jockenhövel in einem gesamteuropäischen Kontext Gräber mit archäometallurgischen Objekten.
