A lecture by Lynn Catterson
Drawing upon the one hundred years’ worth of written and photographic archival material in the Archivio Storico Eredità Bardini in Florence, this talk discusses Bardini’s strategies for branding, marketing and transacting hundreds of Italian Renaissance objects … that were actually made in the 19C! From there it is now finally possible to identify some of the artists working for Bardini, and attach their names to objects that are Renaissance imposters in museums and private collections, or to the objects deemed "fake" and hence relegated to storage.
