a book. It has taken the combined talents of three top jewelry
designers, including a profess who teaches the skill to jewelry
students, to create this beautiful and practical step-by-step

principles and metal and stone rendering techniques, this volume

of many varieties of ring and earring designs. From such drawings
the manufacturing jeweler can assemble the objects themselves. This

This book is destined to become the bible of the designer, the
guide of the artisan, and the companion of the jewelry lover."

Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-1779) wurde zu seinen Lebzeiten von
Johann Joachim Winckelmann mit Raffael verglichen. Auch der in Rom
stationierte spanische Diplomat Jose Nicolas Azara sah in Mengs den
Wiederhersteller der bereits verfallenen Kunste. Sein Ruhm wahrte
jedoch nicht lange. Nach Mengs' Tod keimte Kritik an seinem Koennen
auf; Mengs und sein Werk gerieten in Vergessenheit. Diese Arbeit
befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, wie ein Kunstler und sein
OEuvre so kontrar beurteilt werden konnten. Auch untersucht sie
unter Einbeziehung seines spanischen Schaffens die stilistische
Entwicklung von Mengs' gesamtem Werk. Sein Einfluss auf die
spanische Kunst und seine spanischen Mitarbeiter wie Schuler steht
ebenfalls im Mittelpunkt dieser Untersuchung.
