Abstract

Among the seventeenth-century state papers held at the National Archives at Kew is a list, dated 1670, of fifty-four works of art that were for sale at that time in Italy. The document was penned by John Dodington, an English diplomat who had recently taken up a post in Venice. Despite providing a wealth of detail on the objects for sale – several of which he ascribed to some of Europe’s most illustrious painters and sculptors from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries – Dodington neglected to name the owner of this impressive assemblage. This article establishes the identity of the seller, recounts the history of his collection, and traces the ultimate fate of some of his possessions.

安德烈亚·梅尼奇尼艺术收藏新亮点

在邱国家档案馆保存的17世纪国家文件中，有一份1670年的清单，列出了当时在意大利出售的54件艺术品。这份文件由英国外交官约翰·多丁顿撰写，他最近在威尼斯上任。尽管Dodington提供了大量待售物品的细节——其中几件被他认为是15世纪至17世纪欧洲一些最杰出的画家和雕塑家——但他忽略了这件令人印象深刻的藏品的所有者。本文确立了卖家的身份，讲述了他的藏品历史，并追溯了他的一些财产的最终命运。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the History of Collections is dedicated to providing the clearest insight into all aspects of collecting activity. For centuries collecting has been the pursuit of princes and apothecaries, scholars and amatuers alike. Only recently, however, has the study of collections and their collectors become the subject of great multidisciplinary interest. The range of the Journal of the History of Collections embraces the contents of collections, the processes which initiated their formation, and the circumstances of the collectors themselves. As well as publishing original papers, the Journal includes listings of forthcoming events, conferences, and reviews of relevant publications and exhibitions.
