About the Book

English summary: For more than half a century, The Research Archive for Ancient Sculpture at the Archaeological Institute of the University of Cologne has documented little-known collections of Greek and Roman sculptures through high-quality photographs and their publication in the Monumenta Artis Romanae series. The present volume is an addition to this series and presents the ancient sculptures of the Musee de Laon. They originated with one of the most important French private collections of the early 20th century which has been in the museum's possession since 1937. The outstanding characteristic of this collection lies in the quality of the sculptures, as well as in their diversity and their state of preservation. The focus of the collection is in works from the eastern Mediterranean, especially, Greece, Asia Minor and Alexandria. The original Greek sculptures range from a male cloak figure, dating back to the 6th century, through grave reliefs and god images from the 4th century BC, and extend to late Hellenistic works. Most of the collection was assembled from the Parisian art trade by Joseph Eugene Paul-Marguerite de la Charlonie (1844-1921). In terms of origin, composition and state of preservation, it is similar to other contemporaneous sculpture collections in Europe and the USA. In contrast to the European antique collections of the 17th and 18th centuries, only sparse additions were subsequently made to the pieces which enhances its value and importance. The catalogue is a result of a collaboration between French and German archaeologists, and provides an extensive material presentation of individual works and their photographic documentation. While carrying out fundamental archaeological research, it also seeks to contextualize the art works with particular attention to the provenances of the pieces. French description: Les Archives de recherche sur la sculpture antique de l'Institut archeologique de l'universite de Cologne se consacrent depuis plus de 50 ans a la documentation des collections peu connues de sculptures grecques et romaines par le biais de photographies de haute qualite et de leur publication integrale dans la serie scientifique Monumenta Artis Romanae. Le present volume s'integre dans ce projet par la presentation des sculptures antiques du Musee d'art et d'archeologie du Pays de Laon. Celles-ci proviennent principalement de l'une des collections francaises privees les plus importantes du debut du XXe siecle, entree au musee en 1937. Le caractere exceptionnel de cette collection reside dans la qualite des sculptures, dans leur diversite et dans leur etat de conservation. L'accent y est mis sur les oeuvres de la Mediterranee orientale, en particulier de la Grece, de l'Asie Mineure et d'Alexandrie. Le spectre des sculptures grecques originales s'etend d'une figure masculine au manteau du VIe siecle av. J.-C. aux oeuvres hellenistiques tardives, notamment une importante tete de roi plus grande que nature, en passant par des steles funeraires attiques et des images de dieux du IVe siecle avant J.-C. Les sculptures romaines de l'epoque imperiale les plus remarquables sont des portraits et plusieurs tetes dont une de femme ideale de la fin du IVe siecle ap. J.-C. Seules quelques pieces avaient fait l'objet de recherches jusqu'ici. La collection a ete majoritairement acquise sur le marche de l'art parisien par Joseph Eugene Paul-Marguerite de la Charlonie (1844-1921). Par les provenances, la composition et l'etat de conservation des objets, elle est proche d'autres collections de sculptures contemporaines en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. Contrairement a celles constituees aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles, seules des additions tres ponctuelles ont ete apportees aux pieces antiques, ce qui augmente considerablement leur valeur. Le catalogue, fruit d'une collaboration entre archeologues francais et allemands, offre une presentation complete et raisonnee des oeuvres et de la documentation photographique qui s'y rapporte. Il constitue ainsi une recherche archeologique fondamentale, tout en cherchant a recontextualiser le materiel par la clarification des provenances. German description: Das Forschungsarchiv fur Antike Plastik am Archaologischen Institut der Universitat zu Koln widmet sich seit mehr als 50 Jahren der Dokumentation wenig bekannter Sammlungen griechischer und romischer Skulpturen durch hochwertige Fotografien sowie ihrer Publikation in der Reihe Monumenta Artis Romanae. Der vorliegende Band erganzt diese Arbeiten um die Vorlage der antiken Skulpturen im Musee de Laon. Sie stammen hauptsachlich aus einer der bedeutendsten franzosischen Privatsammlungen des fruhen 20. Jahrhunderts, die sich seit 1937 im Besitz des Museums befindet. Die herausragende Stellung dieser Sammlung liegt in der Qualitat der Skulpturen, in ihrer Vielfalt und in ihrem Erhaltungszustand begrundet. Den Schwerpunkt der Sammlung bilden Werke aus dem ostlichen Mittelmeerraum, besonders aus Griechenland, Kleinasien und Alexandria. Die Bandbreite der griechischen Originalskulpturen reicht von einer mannlichen Mantelfigur des 6. Jahrhunderts uber Grabreliefs und Gotterbilder des 4. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. bis zu spathellenistischen Werken. Fur den Hellenismus ist der uberlebensgrosse Kopf eines Konigs von besonderer Bedeutung; unter den kaiserzeitlichen romischen Skulpturen ragen Portraits und diverse Kopfe hervor wie ein idealer Frauenkopf aus dem spaten 4. Jahrhundert n.Chr. Davon haben bisher nur wenige Stucke in der Forschung Beachtung gefunden. Die Sammlung wurde grosstenteils von Joseph Eugene Paul-Marguerite de la Charlonie (1844-1921) aus dem Pariser Kunsthandel zusammengetragen. Sie steht in Herkunft, Zusammensetzung und Erhaltungszustand gleichzeitigen Skulpturensammlungen in Europa und in den USA nahe. Im Gegensatz zu den europaischen Antikensammlungen des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts wurden an den Antiken der Sammlung Marguerite de la Charlonie nur ganz sparliche Erganzungen vorgenommen, was ihren Aussagewert erheblich steigert. Der Katalog, Ergebnis der Zusammenarbeit zwischen franzosischen und deutschen Archaologen, bietet die umfassende Materialvorlage der Einzelwerke und ihre fotografische Dokumentation. Damit leistet er archaologische Grundlagenforschung; gleichzeitig zielt er durch die Klarung der Provenienzen auf eine Rekontextualisierung des Materials.
