Abstract (en)

Focuses on Albacini's involvement as a restorer, ca.1770-ca.1790, with the British dealer Thomas Jenkins, active in Rome and a principal supplier of antiquities to a broad international clientele, and with the collector and antiquary Charles Townley. Contrasts Albacini's style of restoration with his teacher Cavaceppi's, mentions some of his more important Roman commissions, and describes aspects of the importation of ancient art into Great Britain.
