EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the Night Clock, a remarkable piece created in Florence, Italy during the early 18th century. The clock's case and intricate hardstone mosaics were skillfully crafted by Giovanni Battista Foggini, an Italian artist renowned for his mastery in this art form. The woodwork was executed by Leonard van der Vinne, a Flemish artisan who contributed to its exceptional beauty. Adorned with bronze figures attributed to Massimiliano Soldani-Benzi, this timepiece is truly a work of art. Its mechanism, designed by Francesco Papillion at the turn of the 18th century, adds both functionality and elegance to this masterpiece. Made from ebony and embellished with gilt bronze details, as well as semiprecious stones such as chalcedony, jasper, lapis lazuli, and verde d'Arno; every aspect of this clock exudes opulence and grandeur. Its dimensions measure an impressive 95 x 63 x 28 cm (37 3/8 x 24 13/16 x 11 in. ), making it a commanding presence wherever it is displayed. Currently housed in the Galleria de Lavori in pietre dure—a gallery dedicated to showcasing works made from semi-precious stones—this Night Clock stands as a testament to the extraordinary talent that flourished during Italy's rich artistic history. A true marvel of craftsmanship and design that continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation.
