A PAIR OF ENGLISH PLASTER FIGURES OF CLASSICAL MUSES IN THE ATTITUDE OF DANCE After Antonio Canova, early 19th century 70in

Christie's South Kensington

Lot 1

A PAIR OF ENGLISH PLASTER FIGURES OF CLASSICAL MUSES IN THE ATTITUDE OF DANCE After Antonio Canova, early 19th century 70in. (178cm.) high (2) The present casts are two representations of the original three marble sculptures by Canova, 'Dancer With Hands on Hips', 'Dancer With Finger Touching Her Chin', and 'Dancer With Cymbals', executed between 1805 and 1814. Fred Licht states in his book Canova, Abbeville Press 1983. ..Canova had already prepared the way with earlier experiments: The Dance of the Sons of Alcinous (plate 258) and Hebe (plate 162). Although these three dancers do not have any of the conventional attributes of divinities or mythological figures, they can be included among the mythologies because Canova himself variously referred to the first among them (plate 192) as Muse of the Dance, Nymph of the Dance, or Erato, Muse of Amorous Dancing. All three also pertain to the contemporaneous fashion of ""tableaux vivants."" Emma Hamiltons' curious performances are only the most widely known example of the kind of attitudinizing, half-dance, half-charade, that was immensely polular in Canova's day. For further comparative literature see Giuseppe Pavanello, L'opera completa del Canova, Rizzoli Editore, Milano. Ref.172-3.

Christie's South Kensington

Lot 1

A LARGE ARTIFICIAL STONE FOUNTAIN BY AUSTIN & SEELEY, CIRCA 1835 Modelled with a merman blowing a conch, seated above the shell basin, supported to the underside by three adorsed dolphins, signed in relief on the rocky outcrop below the Merman AUSTIN & SEELEY, with further indistinct inscription and date 183* 104in. (264cm.) high, 60in. (152.3cm.) wide An article by J.C.Loudon on Austin & Seeley's fountains illustrates this model, this appears to confirm the indistinct dating of the present piece to the mid 1830's. The remains of a fountain by the firm with similar dolphin base stands in the Swiss Garden, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire (see Davis, page 204). The fountain also appears on the cover of the SPECIMEN BOOK OF AUSTIN & SEELEY'S ARTIFICIAL STONE MANUFACTORY, a catalogue of 1844. A line drawing on page 18 of the catalogue lists it: Entwined Dolphin Fountain with Shell and Triton. The fountain was also available with a plain tazza above the dolphins. It is rare to find a signed piece by the company.
