Giovanni Battista Foggini, 1652 Florenz – 1725Paar BronzefigurenGEFANGENE AN MARMORVOLUTENHöhe: je 51 cm.Guss wohl noch 18. Jahrhundert.Bronze und Marmor. Guss in braun patinierter Bronze, jeweils in leicht gebückter Haltung von Sklaven oder Gefangenen des Türkenkrieges, mit auf dem Rücken gefesselten Händen. Als Gegenstücke gestaltet, jeweils auf einer Kämpfervolute in grauem Marmor sitzend platziert, möglicherweise als Seitendekoration einer Kaminverkleidung oder eines größeren Monument-Zusammenhangs gedacht, die Sockelung an der Rückseite mit halbrunder Bronzeummantelung. Guss nach Modell des 17./ 18. Jahrhunderts.Auch von dem Bildhauer Pietro Tacca (1577-1640) sind ähnliche Figuren bekannt. Auch er stellte Brunnen mit Figurenschmuck in Bronze her, wie etwa den auf der Piazza dell'Annunziata in Florenz, mit Meeresungeheuern von 1619. Die stilistische Unterscheidung ist schwierig, sodass hier jedoch von einer Arbeit Fogginis ausgegangen werden kann.Fogginis Talent wurde schon früh erkannt, von den Medici gefördert, konnte er in Rom studieren, wo er zusammen mit Ercole Ferrata, einem ebenfalls bedeutenden Bildhauer, wirkte. Zurück in Florenz, wurde er zum Hofbildhauer und alsbald zum Hofarchitekten ernannt. Als solcher erhielt er Aufträge bis hin nach Goa (Westindien), wo er das Grabmonument für Franz von Assisi schuf. Zu seinen bedeutendsten Werken zählen neben seinen Bau- und Raumgestaltungen vor allem die hervorragend gearbeiteten Portraitbüsten für die Medici oder die Büste der Vittoria della Rovere (Puschkin-Museum Moskau). Zu seinen berühmten Schülern zählt u.a. Balthasar Permoser.

CHURCHILL (WINSTON)Autograph letter signed ('Winston S. Churchill'), addressed to His Majesty [George V], written in the third person ('Mr Secretary Churchill'), recommending William Henry Pickering, Inspector of Mines, and George Handle Silkstone for the Edward medal, first class, and that the second class medal be awarded to Isaac Hodges, Albert Moore, James Hosey and A. Jones for acts of 'distinguished bravery', initialled by the King ('Appd/ G.R.I.'), Home Office receiving date stamp, one page, on mourning paper, light dust-staining, one small tear right hand edge, filing hole, 4to (240 x 190mm.), Whitehall, 13 July 1910Footnotes:WINSTON CHURCHILL & THE NEW KING, GEORGE V, HONOUR BRAVE YORKSHIRE MINERS.The Edward medal was a civilian decoration instituted by Royal Warrant on 13 July 1918 to recognise acts of bravery undertaken by miners and quarrymen in endangering their lives to rescue their fellow workers, and divided into silver (first class) and bronze (second class) grades. Six men died when a newly dug shaft collapsed at Water Haigh Colliery on 7 May 1910, with accounts of the accident sharing the local papers with the news of the death of Edward VII the previous day. It took over a week for the bodies to be dug out of the rubble and, at the inquest, the coroner reported that he would relate the particular bravery of the rescuers to Winston Churchill, the Home Secretary, so that their actions in harsh and dangerous conditions could be properly recognised.The recipient of the first class medal, William Henry Pickering (c.1859-1912), His Majesty's Chief Inspector of Mines for the Yorkshire and North Midlands Division, was killed two years later in the Cadeby Main Colliery disaster of 9 July 1912 whilst searching for survivors of an explosion. His obituary describes him as 'one of the leading authorities on coal mining in the whole world... he was awarded the Edward Medal of the First Class for his bravery in connection with an accident at the Water Haigh Mine, Oulton, near Leeds. Five men were killed, but one, Patrick McCarthy was pinned by the legs and lingered in agony for several hours. Mr Pickering was one of six men who were decorated for endeavouring to save McCarthy. The water rose until it had reached the man's shoulders, and he became delirious, but Mr Pickering stayed by him at the risk of his own life. Two doctors and a priest were taken down to McCarthy, whose terrible suffering came to an end just as they reached him... One of the painful features of his [Pickering's] untimely end is the circumstance that he would, in the ordinary course, have been lunching with the King and Queen at Hickleton Hall at the time he was lying amid the ruins...' (Mexborough & Swinton Times, 20 July 1912).The other recipients, George Handle Silkstone (enginewright), Isaac Hodges (agent), Albert Moore (miner), James Hosey (sinking contractor) and Alfred Jones (sinker) had accompanied Pickering to the bottom of the pit. George Silkstone received an additional bar to this medal for his part in another rescue at Water Haigh in February 1911. Beset by accidents and delays, the first coal to be cut from the Silkstone seam at Water Haigh reached the surface on 20 April 1911. The colliery was closed by the National Coal Board in 1970.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
