A LARGE COCO DE MER NUT (LODOICEA MALDIVICA) WITH KERNALS28cm wide,There is a long historical tradition of collecting Coco de Mer nuts and treasuring them as rare and unusual objects , as far back as the 16th century they were decorated with jewels and placed in 'cabinets of curiosities'. Their obvious resemblance to a woman's buttocks inspired their botanical name 'Lodoicea Callipyge"; "callipyge" meaning "beautiful rump" in Greek. Sailors would see them floating in the sea and supposedly mistook them for real women, others believed they grew on trees deep in the ocean and floated to the surface when ripe.

Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, 1796 Paris – 1875 ebendaCOUBRON, UM 1870 – 73 Öl auf Leinwand. 55 x 40 cm. Rechts unten signiert.Zertifikat von Lebeau & Dieterle. Die Personen, die auf dem Allee-Weg wandeln, scheinen sich fast in einem architektonischen Gebilde zu bewegen, so sehr ist die Landschaft hier konstruiert. Die Wahl des Hochformats verstärkt den sehr geschlossenen Eindruck. Die Stämme der Bäume, die den Weg säumen, gleichen Säulen, die die Wölbung einer pflanzlichen Kathedrale bilden. Die Äste bilden die Kreuzgrate. Der einzelne Baum auf der linken Seite des Weges scheint der tragende Pfeiler der Konstruktion zu sein. Leicht dezentral nach links versetzt konkurriert der Weg mit der Baumreihe um die Aufmerksamkeit des Betrachters. Die fast anekdotisch positionierten Personen dienen als Maßstab. Der durch die Äste aufblitzende Himmel ist auch am Ende des „Gewölbes“ zu sehen – als winziger Punkt, aber dennoch wichtig, um dem Bild einen Fluchtpunkt zu geben. Corot zählt zu den bedeutendsten Landschaftsmalern des 19. Jahrhunderts. Obwohl ihm zunächst eine Kaufmannskarriere angedacht war, trat er mit 26 Jahren in das Atelier von Achille Etna Michallon (1796-1822) ein. Von ihm lernte er die Prinzipien der klassizistischen Landschaftsmalerei und wurde in der Pleinair-Malerei bestärkt. Aus seinen zahlreichen Reisen durch Italien brachte er Ansichten von Florenz, Rom und Tivoli zurück und bereiste anschließend Frankreich. Das vorliegende Werk gehört in das Spätwerk des Künstlers. Dieser zog sich, vermögend geworden, 1874 nach Coubron zurück, wo auch das vorliegende Werk entstand. (†)Literatur: Abgebildet in André Schoeller, Jean Dieterle, L’oeuvre de Corot, 2. Supplement. (1301339) (10)Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot,1796 Paris – 1875, ibid.COUBRON, ca. 1870 – 73Oil on canvas.55 x 40 cm.Signed lower right.Certificate of Lebeau & Dieterle.The figures strolling on the boulevard almost seem to be walking inside an architectural edifice as the landscape appears to be constructed as such. The portrait format reinforces this very closed impression. The tree trunks lining the road are like columns forming the vault for a botanical cathedral. Corot is one of the most important landscape painters of the 19th century. He brought back vistas from Florence, Rome and Tivoli from his numerous travels through Italy and then went on to travel through France. The painting on offer for sale in this lot is a late work by Corot. In 1874, after having acquired some wealth he retired to the country, to Coubron where the present work was created.

A RARE GEORGE III BOTANICAL FAN PUBLISHED BY SARAH ASHTON LONDON, C.1792 'The Botanick Fan', hand-coloured engraving on paper, depicting the sexual anatomy of plants, arranged according to the Swedish botanist, Carl Linneaus's classification specimens, with eight lines of a lettered verse from Darwin's 'Botanic Garden', with boxwood guards and sticks, later mounted in a glazed gilt faux bamboo frame 46cm wide Catalogue Note The name of the fan comes from lines of the poem printed on the leaf, 'The Botanic Garden' by Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles Darwin. The Botanic Garden was intended to pique the readers' interest in science whilst educating them at the same time. Whereas Linneaus' classification focused on male plants, Darwin gave female plants a central role. It has been argued that the poem encouraged women to engage in scientific pursuits. Sarah Ashton was a prominent publisher of fan leaves in the late 18th century from her business in Little Britain, near St. Martin's Court, Covent Garden. She was admitted in 1770 into The Worshipful Company of Fan Makers and carried on the printing business after her husband's death. For an identical fan, see the V & A Museum, accession number E. 3191-1938.
