Applied Arts in Naples: Materials and Artistic Techniques from Micro- to Macrocosmos

Abstract

This essay offers an overview of the applied arts in Naples in the high baroque, concentrating on artistic forms that could span from minimal to maximal size and dividing the subject by media (marbles, wood, and silk and silver). It focuses on the relation between architecture and sculptural ornament and revetment, stressing the important role played by the minor arts in the construction of the Neapolitan cantiere. Revisiting available literature on the field, it also casts light on the professional forms of association and partnerships within the architectural workshops and on the artistic interactions at play in the manufacture of the surfaces of buildings.
