440 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Back in 1925, art historian Gustav Pazaurek published his seminal work on the Hausmaler, the porcelain painters working at home. This book, the result of extensive research, revisits this fascinating phenomenon, tracing a history with intriguing implications involving alchemy and conspiracies: all elements contributing to the extraordinary spread of porcelain, the "white gold" discovered in Europe in 1709. Over seven hundred photos of objects, some of which have never been published before, allow the readers to immerse themselves in a journey that leads to documented conclusions or hypotheses that sometimes contrast with what has been written to date. Extensive appendices, including lists of the various Hausmaler, make this volume - with texts in Italian and English - a new benchmark in the study of European porcelain.
