Giovanni Ottaviani (1735-1808) and Giovanni Volpato (1740-1803) after drawings by Pietro Camporesi (1726-81) and Gaetano Savorelli (d. 1791), a bound folio containing an incomplete series of 11 copperplate engravings with later hand colouring taken from Volume I Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano, 3 plates being single page, 1 folding plate and 7 double page size, some old damage and repairs, all in a worn binding Footnote: These 18th century hand-coloured engravings are from the famous series Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano, which consisted of 43 plates published in 3 volumes. The plates show the 'grotesque style' decorations executed by Raphael and his assistants in the Loggie of the Vatican palace for Pope Leo X (1475-1521) in 1515-1519. Raphael’s pilaster frescoes for the walls of the Loggie, featuring plants, flowers, fruit tendrils, mythological creatures and architectural elements were directly inspired by the then recently excavated ancient Roman decorations in the Domus Aurea of Nero. Over 200 years later, the engravers Giovanni Ottaviani (1735-1808) and Giovanni Volpato (1740-1803) were commissioned by Pope Clement XIII (1693-1769) to print a series of copperplate engravings after Raphael’s Loggie. Each engraving was made in 2 parts, based on the designs drawn by the architect Pietro Camporesi (1726-1781), painter Gaetano Savorelli (d. 1791) and draughtsman Lodovico Teseo (1731-1782). The present lot includes one title-plate showing a view along the loggia with an oval portrait of Raphael (61 x 40cm), plates A and B showing the two doors at the end of the loggia (75 x 42cm), three unnumbered plates placed together showing a plan and elevation captioned 'Spaccato per il longo del secondo piano della loggia nel Cortile del Palazzo Vaticano corrispondente nel Cortile grande detto di S. Damaso, ove si dimostra l'Architettura ed Ornati della medema dipinti da Giovanni da Udine con la direzzione di Rafaele Sanzio da Urbino' (24 x 160cm), and fourteen plates showing the decoration of pilasters between windows on the inner side of the loggia pasted as mismatched pairs on seven sequential pages each inscribed 'Joann. Ottaviani sculp. cum privilegio SS.D.N. Clementis XIII.' and 'Cai Savorelli Piet., et Pet. Camporesi Arch. delin.', including numbers I to XIII and another unnumbered (100 x 78cm pasted together)

Northern European School of the 18th century."Holy Trinity".Mixed media on vellum.Measurements: 26 x 17,5 cm.A beautiful and subtle border of flowers in the purest baroque style frames the Holy Trinity, welcomed in a window in the shape of a semicircular arch. It is a composition with the dove of the Holy Spirit on the top, to the right God Almighty with a red mantle pointing to the orb and to the left Christ with the Passion Cross. The harmoniously coloured border is reminiscent of Baroque works in which the beautiful, highly developed garlands competed in prominence with the subject itself.
School of ALBERTO DURERO (Nuremberg, 1471-1528), 16th century."Christ in Limbo, 1510.Oil on panel.It shows faults and damage to the paint layer.A pigment study has been carried out which confirms the period of the panel.Dated in the upper left corner.Measurements: 104 x 74.5 cm.This is an important painting from the Renaissance period on panel, whose scene is inspired by one of the burin engravings that formed part of Dürer's so-called "Little Passion" (1512) (to distinguish it from the "Great Passion", another series that the German master produced a year earlier, in 1511, on the Death and Passion of Christ). The print in question shows Christ in Limbo, surrounded by demons and Adam and Eve, whom he has come to rescue. Jesus carries the banner of Victory and bends his body to save other inhabitants of that intermediate realm. Several hellish creatures surround them. The passage is recorded in the Apocryphal Gospels, specifically in the Gospel of Nicodemus, which narrates the Resurrection of Christ. In the present painting, which is of excellent quality, the elongated canons of Adam and Eve are derived from the Dürerian ideal of beauty, characterised by long, moulded muscles, supple torsos and long necks. Subtle shades of tanning turn the contours, here we can see the fusion of the Durerian school with the Florentine tradition of the time, derived from Leonardo and his technique of sfumato. Adam's aged face, with its long, kinky, cottony beard, contrasts with the soft flesh tones of Eve. The gallery of characters stands out: the variety of expressions and human types, some of them resolved with bold strokes, and others with soft and tender features (such as Jesus and Eve). Drawing and colour dialogue with success. Compared to the original print, subtle changes can be seen in its transfer to this magnificent canvas. If we compare this painting with the engraving, we see here a demon depicted with singular imagination and expressive resources that did not appear in the engraving, where other demons lurk from the top of the arch, their diabolical heads poking out of the lower part. It seems likely, moreover, that the present painter based his work on the print of the same name from the other series by Dürer (the Great Passion), which shows a figure (probably Saint Jerome) holding a cross. Here, too, the detail of the cross has been introduced, held by two figures looking at each other, hopeful and aged, perhaps Saint Jerome and The Baptist. It is evident that the artist who painted this oil painting was thoroughly familiar with the cycles of The Passion painted by Dürer in various versions. The engravings by the German master were works in their own right, but they also played a very important role in teaching and disseminating his work. His prints were a source of inspiration throughout Europe, especially in Italy and Spain.

CIRCLE OF GASPER VAN WITTEL, CALLED IL VANVITELLI (ROME, 1653-1736) View of Palermo Oil on canvas, 59 x 94cm Gaspar Van Wittel, known in Italian as Il Vanvitelli, was a Dutch painter and draughtsman who had a lengthy career in Rome. He played a pivotal role in developing the genre of Veduta, or topographical views, which became a painterly specialism in Italy in the 17th and 18th centuries. This work of the View of Palermo, showing the cultural and historical capital of the island of Sicily, reflects these highly detailed and large-scale compositions. In the painting we can see the monumental city gate, Porta Nuova, to the left-hand side, which represents the entrance to the Cassaro, the main thoroughfare and most ancient street in the city. It was built to commemorate Charles V's conquest of Tunis and his subsequent visit to the Sicilian capital. The gate is formed with a typical central triumphal arch flagged by four telamone sculptures of Moorish figures, referencing Charles V’s defeat over the Ottoman Empire. The buildings adjoining to this are the Royal Palace of Palermo, or Palazzo dei Normanni, originally constructed in the 9th century by its Islamic rulers, and then subsequently taken over by the Norman conquerors who established it as the main residence for future Kings. The foreground is dominated by the heavy castellated city walls projecting and receding along the boundaries of the capital and drawing our eye to the buildings in the background on either side. The cityscape is the main focus of the work, with the artist paying particular attention to the architectural features of the differing Norman and Italian styles of building. The vantage point chosen by the artist seems to be from a hill looking down towards the city, which is reflective of the position of the Palace at the highest point of the ancient centre of Palermo. The gate and the palace stood on the traditional western side of the city. The foreground is enlivened with the steady stream of horse drawn carriages coming to and from the main gate. The trees are in full bloom, with thick luscious green leaves while in the far distance there is a small glimpse of the blue sea and a view of what is probably the hill of Monte Pellegrino. There is a distinct mix of individuals represented by the artist, courtiers, ordinary citizens, workers and travellers, reflecting the diverse range of classes populating this 17th century port city.
