Johann George Hossauer 1794 Berlin - 1874 ebenda Erinnerungspokal zum Fest "Zauber der weißen Rose" R. M. signiert und datiert "den 10ten July 1830". Bleistiftzeichnung, partiell aquarelliert, auf Velin (Wz. J. Whatman 1829). 60 x 44,3 cm. Gebräunt. Min. Knickfalten. Rahmen min. besch. (69 x 55,5 cm). Johann George Hossauer (1794-1874) gilt als der führende Berliner Goldschmied der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. 1819 gründete er eine "Fabrik für Waren aus Platina, Gold, Silber, Bronze, gold- und silberplattiertem Kupfer nach englischer Art." 1826 ernannte ihn Friedrich Wilhelm III. zum "Goldschmied Sr. Majestät des Königs". Fortan erhielt er vom preußischen Hof fast alle bedeutenden Aufträge, die bis zum Ende seiner Geschäftsaufgabe 1859 vergeben wurden. Hossauers frühestes künstlerisches Hauptwerk ist ein neugotischer Prunkpokal, den er in drei Ausführungen, für die Kaiserin von Russland, den Herzog Carl von Mecklenburg-Strelitz und für König Friedrich Wilhelm III. von Preussen als Erinnerung an das Fest "Zauber der Weissen Rose" fertigte. Das Fest fand anlässlich des Geburtstages der Kaiserin Alexandra Feodorowna am 13. Juli 1829 im Neuen Palais in Potsdam statt. Die Kaiserin, eine geborene Prinzessin Charlotte von Preussen (1798-1860) war die älteste Tochter König Friedrich Wilhelms III. und der Königin Luise. Seit ihrer Hochzeit mit Großfürst Nikolaus Pawlowitsch von Rußland (späterer Kaiser Nikolaus I.) trug sie den russischen Namen Alexandra Feodorowna. Das Fest wurde von ihrem Onkel Herzog Carl von Mecklenburg-Strelitz veranstaltet und gilt als eines der prunkvollsten und aufsehenerregendsten Feste, das je am preußischen Hof gefeiert worden ist. Es stand unter dem Motto "Zauber der Weissen Rose" in Anlehnung an die romantische Erzählung "Der Zauberring" von Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, der während der Kindheit der Prinzessin Charlotte in Mode gekommen war. Ganz im Bann der romantischen Erzählung hatte man ihr damals den Kosenamen "Blanche Fleur" gegeben. Mit "tableaux vivants", sogenannten lebenden Bildern, wurde die Erzählung unter Einbeziehung der höfischen Gesellschaft nachgestellt. Im Auftrag des Herzogs, des Kronprinzen und der Kaiserin und nach Entwurf von Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841) - der auch die Ausstattungen und Bühnendekoration entworfen hatte - fertigte Hossauer zwischen 1829 und 1831 im neugotischen Stil drei silberne, innen vergoldete, 69 cm große Prunkpokale in Form eines Humpen mit Plinthe, reich geschmückt mit den 73 emaillierten Wappen der königlichen und adeligen Teilnehmer. Zwei der drei Ausführungen des prunkvollen Deckelpokals haben sich erhalten: im Sommerschloss Peterhof bei St. Petersburg und im Neuen Pavillon, Schlossgarten Charlottenburg, in der Stiftung Preussische Schlösser und Gärten (SPSG) Berlin-Brandenburg. Aus Hossauers Tagebüchern geht hervor, dass er an den drei Pokalen zeitlich parallel gearbeitet hat. Vorliegende maßstabsgerechte, detaillierte, großformatige Originalzeichnung schuf er nach Fertigstellung des ersten Pokals, sie war bis 2010 nicht bekannt. 1829 fertigte er eine erste eher skizzenhafte Zeichnung, die sich heute in der Plankammer der Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten (SPSG) in Potsdam befindet. Erhalten haben sich auch zwei Entwurfszeichnungen Schinkels im Kupferstichkabinett SMPK Berlin und in der Plankammer der SPSG Potsdam.

He worked on the farm until he joined the sub-mariners at the age of 19. He was in Brest when the Germans invaded in June 1940 and went to England with the evacuating British Expeditionary Forces. He was one of the first to join the French Libre Forces and was sent to Dakar, Gabon and French Equatorial Africa, and took part in the Syria Campaign 1941. He returned to England in March 1942 and volunteered to serve with Captain Philippe Kieffer's group of Commandos. In August 1942 he was involved in Operation Jubilee (Raid on Dieppe) where heavy casualties were incurred, and he was one of the few to get back to the UK alive. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre with bronze star "To show evidence, on the 19th August 1942, of the highest qualities of courage and was a cog in the team which took part in three successive attempts at Bonneval after his convoy was attacked by German motorboats, and in spite of deadly artillery fire and automatic gun fire, made it to land". In November 1943, with the 4th Battalion Parachutists SAS, he parachuted into France and went on to work with the French Resistance with their sabotage programme. He was later dropped behind enemy lines before the D-Day landings, where he was responsible for "harassing" the enemy. He left the war zone of St. Marcel by escaping from the Germans with the help of the religious order of Malestroit who hid him in their convent. During Jean's time in the war, he sustained injuries from a hand grenade and met his future wife Josephine Lovegrove, whilst recuperating. Jean was a friend of General de Gaulle and the French spy Marie Clair. After the war, Jean's wife Josephine, travelled around Afghanistan after being inspired by the book "Where the Four Worlds Meet - Hindu Kush, 1959" by Fosco Maraini, which is included in this lot.
