Lot 423
CIRCLE OF GIROLAMO CAMPAGNA (1549-1621), VENETIAN GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF ATLAS 16TH CENTURY raised on a square green marble base (Dimensions: 10cm high overall)(10cm high overall)Footnote: Literature: Rossi, Girolamo Campagna ,Verona, 1968, p. 26; Timofiewitsch, “Campagna”, in Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani , p. 300-06; Timofiewitsch, Girolamo Campagna: Studien zue venezianischen Plastik um das Jahr 1600 , Munich, 1972; Bruce Boucher, “Campagna”, in J. Turner [ed.], The Dictionary of Art, London, 1996; Victoria Avery, “Campagna”, in A. Bostrom [ed.], The Encyclopedia of Sculpture , New York / London, 2004, pp. 238-42 Note: The subject and treatment of mature, muscular, male anatomy are related to two marble statues signed by Girolamo Campagna, State Sculptor in Venice: an over-life-size Giant in the atrium of the Library of St Mark’s (contract of 1590), and a Hercules on the mantlepiece of the Sala del Collegio in the Ducal Palace, probably dating from the dogate of Pasquale Cicogna, 1585-95 (Rossi, 1968, pls. 14). They manifest more implicit movement, whereas this sturdy Atlas stands four-square and frontally, with his arms akimbo, to support the enormous weight of the notional globe. Otherwise it might be suggested that the figure was intended - perhaps with other companions - to stand in a niche of a cabinet, popular at the time. The statuette, which appears to be un-published, shows analogies with others of roughly the same scale and similarly gilded that are usually attributed to Campagna, such as kneeling or standing youths or older men holding up shells to act as a salt-cellars or sweetmeat dishes (see Philippe Cros, Fondation Bemberg , Bronzes de la Renaissance Italienne , Toulouse / Paris, 1996, pp.62-64).

§ JOHN HENRY MONSELL FURSE (1860-1950) THE ARTIST’S SON, RALPH life-size bronze figure, signed in the bronze I.H.M. FURSE / 5 OF 11, raised on a granite plinth (Dimensions: 122.5cm high, plinth 65cm long, 9.5cm high, 42cm deep)(122.5cm high, plinth 65cm long, 9.5cm high, 42cm deep)Footnote: Note: Henry Mansell Furse was born in Egham, Surrey in 1860. He is noted for his relatively short production period due to an illness which led him to being an invalid for the last forty years of his life. Furse studied under Herkomer before attending the Slade School. He worked at the British Museum from 1881 to 1887, after which he produced many sculptures, most notably of animals though also human subjects, as in this example. His keen observational eye allowed him to capture the subtleties of movement into a static object, as though they were about to come alive. His works were regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts as well as other well-known galleries.

POSSIBLY THE CIRCLE OF GERMAIN PILON (1535-1590) AND/OR BARTHÉLEMY PRIEUR (BERZIEUX 1540-1611, traditionally depicted, previously mounted (Dimensions: 17.5cm high)(17.5cm high)Footnote: Note: Pilon is famed for his allegorical figures in marble and bronze: first for the Tomb of King Francis I in the Abbey of St Denis, Paris; then, in 1559, the Monument for the heart of King Henri II, with a group of the Three Graces, the epitome of French Mannerist figure-sculpture; and, finally, the Tomb of King Henri II, again in St. Denis. Prieur was a French follower as court sculptor of Pilon, working in stone and marble: he specialised in casting bronze statuettes in commercial series. Characteristic of Prieur’s many statuettes of young women – usually secular, nearly nude, classical nymphs – is the profile of the face such as is used here for the Virgin Mary: a high forehead, sloping back in an almost Grecian continuous line from a small nose, with a receding hairline, while small pursed lips appear above a daintily receding chin. Close too is the coiffure, where a plait of hair is wound round the crown of the head in a neat circle. This group is not dissimilar from a figure of the Virgin alone (sometimes paired with a St John the Evangelist from under a Crucifix), of which three examples are known, and one of which was given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, after a sale at Sotheby’s in 1996. Similarities between that figure and the present statuette in style, dress (especially the drapery on their backs) and physiognomy support a tentative attribution to the circle of practitioners around the two sculptors, though its treatment is not as refined as theirs normally is.
Lot 417
AFTER THE ANTIQUE, ITALIAN OR FRENCH BRONZE FIGURE OF A YOUNG SATYR PLAYING THE FLUTE FIRST HALF dark brown patina, marked with the French crowned C control mark (Dimensions: 26cm high)(26cm high)Footnote: Note: the subject of this bronze is the 1st-2nd century Roman figure which is itself a copy of the 4th century BC Greek original. The marble statue was in the Villa Borghese in Rome and now is in the collection of the Louvre. The crowned C was a French tax mark struck on bronzes over a certain weight between February 1745 and February 1749. The 'C' stands for cuivre (copper), the principal component in the bronze alloy.

Commissioned in 1823, she saw service in the Mediterranean from 1830 to 1841. She was decommissioned in 1843, before returning to service for the Crimean War, from 1851-4. She returned to England at the beginning of 1855 and that year became a hospital ship at Portsmouth, then a cadet training ship in 1859. She was moved to Portland in 1862, then Dartmouth in 1863. She was finally sold for scrapping in 1869. These timbers were presumably removed when she was first decomissioned in 1842-3. HMS Royal George was a 100-gun first-rate ship-of-the-line of the Royal Navy, built at Woolwich Dockyard and launched on 18 February 1756. The largest warship in the world at the time of launching, she saw service during the Seven Years' War, as Admiral Sir Edward Hawke's flagship at the Battle of Quiberon Bay and later taking part in the Battle of Cape St Vincent. She sank whilst undergoing routine maintenance work, anchored off Portsmouth on 29 August 1782 with the loss of more than 1,000 lives - one of the most serious maritime losses to occur in British waters. In 1840 the broken wreckage was destroyed by the Royal Engineers in a huge controlled explosion that shattered windows as far away as Portsmouth and Gosport. Several of the salvaged bronze cannons were melted down to form the base of Nelson's column in Trafalgar Square. Timber from the ship was also used to make the billiard table for the North Wing of Burghley House, Lincolnshire.

EAST INDIA COMPANY CAST BRONZE BELL DATED 1747 bearing the company insignia VOC and the date 1747, JAFFANAPATNAM, suspended in a wrought iron frame mounted to a large stone mill wheel (Dimensions: Bell diameter 14in.)(Bell diameter 14in.)Footnote: Note: The Dutch East India Company, Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie , was founded in1602 and was sponsored by the Dutch government in an effort to stabilize profits and form a monopoly in the Dutch spice trade. It was the world’s first formally listed public company, and was given the power to build forts, keep armies and make treaties. The first permanent trading post was in Batavia, Indonesia; but eventually they were establishing colonies and trade throughout Asia, expanding their reach to Ceylon, modern day Sri Lanka, in 1640. Jaffanapatnam is today’s Jaffna on the Sri Lanka’s north-west coast, a city that had been established by the Portuguese as their colonial administrative center, that was won by the Dutch East India Company in 1658 after a three-month-siege. This bell, cast with the name of the city and the date 1747, probably hung in one of the trade warehouses or company buildings and would have been used to announce ship arrivals and departures, or for administrative proclamations.
