ResumoitalianoPreciso en describir la tecnica de la pintura al encausto, desde su primera publicacion (1784), I Saggi sul ristabilimento dell’antica arte de’greci e romani pittori constituyo un acontecimiento de extraordinaria importancia. Vicente Requeno y Vives trazo la historia de la tecnica de la antigua pintura al encausto hasta su propio tiempo. Con la ayuda de artistas contemporaneos suyos, anadio Requeno una improvisada tecnica de la encaustica. Todo ello le supuso un publico reconocimiento y el titulo de “Accademico Clementino” (Accademia de Bologna). Este ensayo estudia e incide sobre las consecuencias del Saggi en Italia y su categorica insercion en los volumenes enciclopedicos del tardo ochocientos en Europa. EnglishAccurate in describing the technique of encaustic painting, since their first publication (1784), I Saggi sul ristabilimento dell’antica arte de’ greci e romani pittori had an extraordinary success. In the two volumes the author, Vicente Requeno y Vives, had traced the history of the ancient technique of encaustic painting until his day. In addition, with the help of contemporary artists, Requeno proposed an improved technique of encaustic painting. All this earned him public recognition and the title of “Accademico Clementino” (Accademia di Bologna). This essay traces the ‘success’ in Italy of the Saggi, by inserting it into the category of encyclopedic volumes in the late eighteenth century in Europe.
