| Meer info | French language edition. This book accomapnied an exhibition of of 30 rare Renaissance-era automaton clocks at Galerie J. Kugel in 2016. The gilded bronze zoo includes a pug with wagging tail and oscillating eyes, a chained monkey angrily beating a drum and an elephant with soldiers dancing on its back Some pieces came from the Kugel family collection, which Mr. Kugel recalls playing with as a child: “I probably broke one or two, forcing the needle so it would animate.” Others were found by Mr. Kugel and his brother Nicolas, both fifth-generation antiques dealers. The technology for automaton clocks dates to Heron of Alexandria, the ancient Greek mathematician who wrote extensively about mechanics. Their popularity surged during the Renaissance, when many were made in Augsburg, Germany, the artistic center of Bavaria at the time. “If you couldn’t afford a real elephant or lion for your menagerie, then you could compromise with one of these,” Mr. Kugel said. |
