NORTH ITALIAN SCHOOL (18TH CENTURY)APOLLO AND A NYMPH TRANSFIXED BY AN ARROW; AND APOLLO AND THE CUMAEAN SIBYLOil on canvas, a pair66 x 166cm (25 x 65¼ in.) (2) Provenance:Probably the Messel family collection at NymansIn the Main Hall at Holmstead Manor and thence by descent to Oliver MesselPurchased from Oliver Messel by Frederick and Phyllis Watkins for Flaxley AbbeyCatalogue Note:In his famous Metamorphoses, Ovid tells the tale of the Sibyl of Cumae, in southern Italy, who was loved by the god Apollo. He bribed her by offering to prolong her life for as many years as there were grains in a heap of dust, in return for her love. She refused him and although he kept his word, he denied her perpetual youth, so she was commanded to centuries as a wizened crone. In the painting the Sibyl is shown as a young woman before Apollo, holding out her cupped hand which contains the heap of dust. The other painting shows Apollo standing grief stricken by his lover Coronis, a Greek princess, who was with child by him but left him for another. In a fit of jealous rage he slew her with an arrow and tore the child from her womb. This child was Asclepius, who would grow up to become the god of Medicine. Condition Report: Both canvases have been relined. Surface dirt and a yellowed varnish. Both canvases are composed of three or four smaller pieces of canvas, which is clearly visible. UV shows scattered retouching in both works, including retouching of old craquelure. Condition Report Disclaimer

Two folios from a dispersed Shahnama, Delhi, North India, circa 1840, ink and opaque pigments on paper heightened with gold, illustrating Rustam and Rakhsh slay a dragon and Rostam slays an opponant with his bow and arrow, each with lines of black nastaliq Persian above and below, the reverse of each with 25ll. of black nastaliq Persian arranged in four vertical columns, painting 21 x 12cm., folio 30.5 x 19.5cm. (2)Footnotes: The epic poem Shahnama, or Book of Kings, was composed in 1010 by the Persian poet Firdowsi and recounts the life of the Shahnama's heroic king Rustam, recognizable by his red beard.The illustrations in this lot recall the work of Ghulam 'Ali Khan and his studio whilst at the court of Alwar. It is there that the Mughal artist from Delhi produced an ambitious Gulistan for Raja Banni Singh, some time between 1840 and 1853 (William Dalrymple and Yuthika Sharma, Princes and Painters in Mughal Delhi, 1707-1857, London, 2012, fig.9,10,12, pp.46-19). The Shahnama from which these folios originate is an illustration of the taste for dynastic histories and classical Persian works under the reign of the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah.
