Antiquities in Motion. From Excavation Sites to Renaissance Collections

By Barbara Furlotti

published by Getty Publications, 2019

392 pages, fully illustrated in colour. Hardback. 25 x 20cms.

Reconstructing the journey of ancient objects from digging sites to the venues where they were sold, such as Roman marketplaces and antiquarians' storage spaces; to sculptors' workshops, where they were restored; and to Italian and other European collections, where they arrived after complicated and costly travel over land and sea. Examining the changes in economic value, meaning, and appearance that antiquities underwent as they moved from person to person during their journey and as they reached the locations in which they were displayed.
