Bene Attila: C. RADNITZKY . VIENNAE – The Life and Works of Austrian Medallist Carl Radnitzky

Based on some Central-European public and private collections, and the materials of international auctions, the author describes the works of Austrian medallist, C. Radnitzky (1818–1901). More than 220 researched medals made by Radnitzky (which means around 650 variants in type, material, size and weight), introduced in a catalogue without value indication according to the time sequence of their production.

The catalogue contains the marked and unmarked works of the artist, connected mainly to the former countries of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Also, naming the occurrence of individiul pieces in the previously published literature, like Brettauer, Donebauer, Hauser, Horsky, Montenuovo, Wurzbach-Tannenberg. Indication is given to the connections of the medals of the minting dies preserved in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (Stempel-Sammlung). The description of the medals and their entire metrological data are also the part of the book.

The book is published in a joint Hungarian–German venture, with colour illustrations, hard cover, and the volumes are individually numbered. The buyers receive their book with a dedication to their name. The book contains 320 A/4-sized pages, plus two fold-out data sheets!
