The book deals with Sicilian artifacts and artists almost entirely unpublished active on the Island of Knights in the period between 1565, the year of the foundation of La Valletta, and 1798, when Malta was captured by Napoleon Bonaparte. Interesting figures of goldsmiths and silversmiths emerged from a thorough archival research, and superb artifacts(silverware, corals, alabaster, ivories and waxes) of the Maltese public and private collections are studied in relation to the wider context of the artistic and cultural exchanges between the two islands of the Mediterranean.

Abstract
The book deals with Sicilian artifacts and artists almost entirely unpublished active on the Island of Knights in the period between 1565, the year of the foundation of La Valletta, and 1798, when Malta was captured by Napoleon Bonaparte. Interesting figures of goldsmiths and silversmiths emerged from a thorough archival research, and superb artifacts(silverware, corals, alabaster, ivories and waxes) of the Maltese public and private collections are studied in relation to the wider context of the artistic and cultural exchanges between the two islands of the Mediterranean.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
