Tiaras at Ajuda Palace

Last summer the new Royal Treasury Museum within Ajuda National Palace in Lisbon was opened to display the Portuguese Crown Jewels. The new museum was built using insurance money from the 2002 theft of some of the jewels when they were on exhibition in the Netherlands and was part of a larger restoration project of the palace. Find out more about visiting here.

The museum features several tiaras and a lot of other jewelry like the emerald bow brooch below that I just had to include.

Queen Maria Pia's Diadem of Stars by Estêvão de Sousa, 1868 with later alterations

Queen Maria Pia's Laurel Wreath Tiara by Castellani, circa 1862 as a wedding gift from the city of Rome

Queen Maria Pia's Coral Tiara, circa 1862 as a wedding gift from the city of Naples

Queen Maria II's Sapphire Tiara, 1840s - This tiara is not part of the crown jewels and was sold at Christie's in 2021 for 1,948,558 USD but the new owner has loaned it to the museum.

Infanta Maria Ana's Emerald Bow Brooch, mid 1700s with later tassel addition

Pair of"Juno-head" earrings. Made by Castellani. Gold. French wires suspend the head and neck of a woman wearing a diadem, floral earrings, and a knotted necklace. The diadem and bottom of the neck are edged with beaded wire.

"It is [...] possible that one of the 'Juno-head' earrings is an ancient, but adapted object. This is suggested by various technical and stylistic variations, such as the treatment of the eyes and greater use of spiral beaded wire, and by a slight variation in gold composition, with the left one having gold of slightly lower purity. In addition, the other earring bears the Castellani double-C filigree monogram."

Castellani

One of the purest expression of the nineteenth century’s interest in historical styles is found in the so-called archaeological jewelry produced by firms such as Castellani. Castellani looked to Etruscan, ancient Roman, Byzantine, and Medieval styles for inspiration for its jewelry, and it sought out ancient techniques as well as motifs for reinterpretation. Archaeological jewelry was extremely popular in Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century, and was actively acquired at the highest levels of society.

(Vía @neoreaccionario ) “Hoy se cumple un aniversario más del fallecimiento, de su encuentro con Dios, de Leonardo Castellani, gran sacerdote católico y patriota argentino. Intelectual de fuste, teólogo, filósofo, periodista, doctor en psicología, apologista católico, amante de las letras y gran escritor, al decir de Juan Manuel de Prada, “el Chesterton argentino”. Ignorado por la historiografía “oficial” y la “cultura oficial”, envidiado por varios de sus pares, perseguido y condenado injustamente por los jerarcas eclesiásticos acomodados a los vientos mundanos. Castellani, con su profunda visión de quién ama a la Verdad antes que todo, supo tener aciertos proféticos de la Argentina y del mundo. De ahí, el odio profundo que de la prensa local le tiene, enterrándolo en la “guerra del silencio”. Cuando puedo, en este espacio, busco reivindicar y promocionar a tan gran autor al cual recomiendo a mis lectores.” - #Castellani #NeoReaccionario #Catolicismo #CulturaCatolica https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2WxrWOIiE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Duchamp e i suoi derivati

La poetica degli oggetti e l’arte del “potevo farlo anche io”, dalla Fontana di Duchamp alla Banana di Cattelan. Ma è arte questa? Aspettate a rispondere perché la questione non è così facile.

Alle origini, il dilettantismo C’era una volta l’Arte di Giotto, di Cimabue, di Donatello, di Raffaello, di Michelangelo, di Caravaggio, di Canova e via dicendo, che piace tanto a tutti e guai a dire il contrario.La “rottura” con l’Arte più universalmente accettata, si può dire che inizia con due importanti invenzioni a seguito delle rivoluzioni industriali. La prima grande invenzione è stata…

Necklace of granulated spheres. Made by Giacinto Melillo. Gold. Private collection.

"When Alessandro [Castellani] noted the hackly surface [on ancient Etruscan jewellery] where granulation was missing, it led him to investigate ways in which the solder filings might be introduced under rather than over the grains and filigree wires. On Castellani (and Melillo) jewelry with areas of powder granulation, the joints between the more substantial components of the jewelry reveal conventional solder seams, but the localized powder granulation shows evidence for soldering with very fine solder particles. These particles tend to be present among the granules and filigree, not on the neighboring components, and to be more in evidence under the grains than over them.

"Such an appearance would be all but impossible to produce with the traditional solder-sprinkling technique. One way it could be achieved was if the solder and flux particles were mixed with the gum or glue and painted onto the required area of the sheet gold and then the grains positioned on this. With the finest grain sizes it might even have been possible to mix grains, solder particles, ground flux, and glue together and "paint" all into position in one operation. An oil such as lavender oil, as used by painters in enamel, could have been substituted for the glue. If Alessarndro did use such a process to apply his solder it would have been a major change from the way in which filigree was traditionally soldered--and far more akin to contemporary enameling techniques with which he was also experimenting in the 1850s."
