- Title
Hector de Garriod (1803–1883): a marchand amateur in Risorgimento Italy.
- Authors
Giacomelli, Luca
- Abstract
Baron Hector de Garriod (1803–1883) was a Savoyard nobleman who resided in Florence for most of his life, from 1835 to 1883, taking an active part in the social and artistic life of the city in the years of the Risorgimento and after the unification of Italy. His correspondence, surviving in a private archive in Cortona, and other documents that have surfaced in Italy and elsewhere in Europe, shed fresh light on this interesting yet neglected marchand amateur – his activities as an art dealer, his relationships with international museum agents and his dealings with renowned art collectors. Specific attention is paid here to Garriod's private collection, now kept at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Chambéry, which represents one of the most important bequests of seventeenth-century Italian paintings to a French museum.
