This is a translation of the 1802 introduction to studio practices
for sculpture students by Francesco Carradori (1747-1824), a
sculptor, restorer, and instructor of sculpture at the Accademia in
Florence from 1786 to 1821.
Carradori's instructions are vital to understanding the art and
craft of sculpting as they were practiced before the twentieth
century, since little substantial material exists that
demonstrates, in an informed, didactic manner, the various tools
and techniques used by ancient sculptors to execute work.
Carradori's work is the most comprehensive and instructive and
includes thirteen articles that explain how to restore marble
sculpture, model clay, work with stucco and wax, cast and finish
bronze, and carve and enlarge models into marble and stone, as well
as seventeen tables that illustrate the arrangement, methods, and
tools used in each of these processes. Paolo Bernardini discusses
the historical and theoretical aspects of sculptural practice in
nineteenth-century Italy. Translator Matti Auvinen gives an
introduction to sculptural studio practice in the nineteenth
century. In addition, the complete Italian text is reprinted.
