A Dutch Delft blue and white wall cistern with basin, 18th C. - The decoration on this set carries more depth than one could grasp at first glance. From a philosophical point of view, the cistern could be considered as a fountain of youth. The deeper meaning of the decoration on this rare set, makes it an unusually interesting and inspiring whole. A first wink is already given with the cover, depicting a semi-nude female bust. Within the different chinoiserie panels, various ladies are depicted, each at a different stage of growth. The cycle commences near the the hole for the spout, where a young female child is depicted undressed. Both panels on the side of the cistern, depict an adolescent, not yet fully grown when compared to the size of the ladies in the next panels. The young girl is depicted pondering, looking at a pagoda-type structure in a mountainous landscape, possibly a metaphor for the path towards adulthood. The evolution continues in the panels surrounding the central part of the fountain, where an adult lady is shown in a quiet garden surrounding, near a flower vase. In the central panel above the spout opening, she is shown in the final stage of her life, walking with a cane, somewhat bent over, crossing a bridge, possibly a metaphor for the end of her life. As the circle is complete, we can now move on to the basin. The ladies have now been replaced by geese, depicted in a chinoiserie water landscape. Here, the geese are depicted in various stages of growth, again a wink towards evolution. Provenance: Acquired on the Belgian art market, ca. 1970 A private Belgian collectionDimensions: The wall cistern: H: 49 cm (incl. cover), the base: 24 x 17 cmThe basin: 41,5 x 37 x10 cmOther examples: A slightly later example with basin decorated in petit feu palette is in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, inv. nr.

Caracalla AV Aureus. Rome, AD 201. ANTONINVS PIVS AVG PON TR P IIII, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / CONCORDIAE AETERNAE, jugate busts right of Septimius Severus, radiate and draped, and Julia Domna, diademed and draped, on crescent. RIC 52 var.; C. 1; BMC 260; Calicó 2849. 7.27g, 20mm, 12h. Near Extremely Fine; very slight wave in flan. Very Rare. Struck a during the period of rule in which both Caracalla and his father Septimius Severus were co-Augusti, this coin’s obverse legend refers to Caracalla’s official name Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, given to him in order to further legitimise the rule of the Severans through a fictitious link to the Antonine adoptive emperors who came before them. A decade before the death of Septimius and Caracalla’s despicable murder of his brother Geta, the Severan family here portrayed as unified in the rule of the empire. The imagery present here is a strong propagandistic message of stability offered by a virtuous imperial family, creating the potential for a long-lasting dynasty by grooming the next generation for the duty of ruling the empire. Having been made Augustus at the age of ten, and only thirteen when this type was minted, the clear implication is that Rome should look forward to many more years of Severan peace. The mutual dependence of the sun and the moon is used as a means to portray the strong bond of Septimius Severus and Julia Domna, while emphasising the concept of permanence – in this case, of the principate and the empire it ruled. Septimius’s radiate crown denotes him as a representation of Sol, and the bust of Domna is set upon a crescent moon, the attribute of Luna. The legend CONCORDIAE AETERNAE (eternal harmony) is intended to refer not only to the imperial family, connoting firm hands on the tiller of the empire and a secure succession, but also reflects Septimius’ (largely justifiable claim) to have brought peace and a renewed golden age to Rome. There existed among the general populace a heartfelt belief that a stable imperial family was conducive to having a stable domain, and this reassurance is dovetailed neatly into another key element of the Roman collective psyche - the idea that Rome and its empire were everlasting - a concept that features heavily in literature such as the Aeneid, a work that had had a profound impact on Roman culture.
