Not a lot is known about his life but a recent publication by E. Lebon (see lit.) has shed some light on his career. Born into a family of metal workers, Carbonneaux is known to be active as a founder from 1814. In 1819 at the request of the celebrated sculptor François-Joseph Bosio (1768-1845) he received the prestigious commission to execute the equestrian statue of Louis XIV for the Place des Victoires, Paris, which was unveiled in 1822. Carbonneaux cast the statue and the two men worked together at least one more time since he also executed in bronze Bosio’s large group of Hercules fighting Achelous transformed into a snake, a statue commissioned by the French royal household in 1822, exhibited at the Salon of 1824 and now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris. Clearly recognised as being an excellent founder, Carbonneaux was also selected by the Polish-French count Leon Potocki in 1821 to cast the equestrian portrait of the polish statesman and general Josef Poniatowski by Berthel Thorvaldsen1.

  • Horror and Amazement: Colossal Mythological Statue Groups and the New Rhetoric of Images in Late Second and Early Third Century Rome
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Barbara Borg (Hrsg.), Paideia: The World of the Second Sophistic, Berlin 2004, S. 105-129 Horror and amazement: Colossal mythological statue groups and the new rhetoric of images in late second and early third century Rome RALF VON DEN HOFF Cultural phenomena of the second and early third century CE, which are con- ventionally placed in the category of ‘Second Sophistic’, have been studied both in terms of their socio-political implications, and as a discourse of identity con- struction, especially among the elites of the Greek east.1 In this context, only some aspects of the visual arts have been analyzed as signs of a ‘Greek Renais- sance.’2 In a broader sense and as far as the city of Rome was concerned, the nexus of visual culture and the Second Sophistic was only of minor interest.3 Thus, it is still a desideratum to describe this relationship beyond references to paideia in the restricted sense of knowledge of Classical Greek culture and to concepts like ‘Greek influences’ or classicism, which were elements of Roman culture long before the second century CE.4 It is clear that the Second Sophistic is also defined by new interests in elaborated form, rhetorical performances and entertainment. Hence, it is fruitful to compare visual and textual phenomena in terms of their modes of depiction and means of addressing the audience – that ———————— 1 See in particular: Bowersock, 1969; Bowie 1970; Anderson, 1993; Woolf, 1994; Swain, 1996; Schmitz, 1997; Bowie, 2000; Goldhill, 2001; Stephan, 2002, 199-222. 2 Walker, 1989; see also von Mosch, 1999 (for the relevance of coins); Galli, 2001 (for sanctuar- ies and images of pepaideumenoi); Baumer, 2001, 90-93 (for a new interest in classical votive re- liefs); cf.

  • A Helping Hand from the Divine. Notes on the Triumphalist Iconography of the Early Theodosians
    A HELPING HAND FROM THE DIVINE. NOTES ON THE TRIUMPHALIST ICONOGRAPHY OF THE EARLY THEODOSIANS Antti Lampinen ABSTRACT This article will provide a contextualised look at the variegated manifestations of how Theodosius and his immediate successors sought to refer to divine support in their triumphalist propaganda. In it, particular attention will be devoted to the ambiguities and double-meanings of a set of intentionally polysemic signifiers with both iconographic and rhetorical roots in the earlier Roman triumphal ideology. These compromises between Christian and more ambiguously ‘non- denominational’ references to divine favour were, I will argue, deployed in an open-ended fashion especially during Theodosius’ early rule – a legitimating technique that seems to have been successful, although its contents should alert us to the insufficiency of seeing Theodosian rulership as monochromatically ‘Christian’. After having been elaborated during the decades around 400, these forms of projecting imperial triumphalism came to play a long-standing part in the East Roman and Byzantine ideology of divine favour.* After Adrianople: barbarian crises and moralistic discourse In September 394, the emperor Theodosius defeated the army of the Western usurper Eugenius and his magister militum Flavius Arbogast in a two-day battle near river Frigidus, in modern-day Slovenia. This victory consolidated the whole empire under his rule and paved way for a series of extensive administrative and custodian arrangements that set the scene for the reigns of Arcadius and Honorius. The narrative permutations of the religious (as well as other) themes affixed to Theodosius’ victory in this battle have now been extensively reviewed in Cameron 2011.1 He has, for instance, decisively dismissed certain previous assumptions, based on Theodoret’s dramatized version of the battle in Book 5 of his Ecclesiastical History, about Eugenius’ army marching under the particular protection of the pagan insignia of Hercules and Juppiter (106f.).
