Lot 188
An Italian specimen marble bust of Roma after the Antique, late 18th century, portrayed wearing a helmet relief carved with vignettes of Romulus and Remus with the Capitoline wolf, above locks of centrally parted wavy hair; with drapery in Sicilian jasper and Bardiglio marble across the chest and truncation, on a waisted circular socle, 76cm high; presented on a circular section grey marble pedestal with further mottled pink marble base, overall height 181cm, base diameter 34cm While the image of Rome as a heroic female deity (modelled, to an extent, on imagery of Minerva) features widely in arts of the Roman Republic and later the Empire, this bust appears to draw particular inspiration from the circa 115-140 AD colossal statue of 'Dea Roma' in the gardens at the Villa Medici, which was certainly known during the late 18th century. That example also features wolves on either side of the goddess' overall relatively simple helmet. A bust of a similar iconographic type, in the collection of the Louvre, though previously located in Rome in the Borghese collection, may also have served as a prototype, particularly the way in which the subject's hair is neatly gathered at the nape of the neck.This stately iconographic type proved popular with Neoclassical sculptors, including those hailing from Britain. For instance, a bust of Rome by William Theed, ostensibly derived from a similar if not identical source, is in the Royal Collection (RCIN 2046). The use of coloured marble inlay and the handling of the present bust have prompted attributions to English sculptor Francis Harwood, who was active in Rome during the 18th century. Please note: additional provenance for this lot: the bust was acquired at the Genoese auction house Wannenes (export license available) by repute from the collection of the renowned Italian art dealer Iermano. It has also been suggested to us that elements of the bust may be of different, or possibly earlier, date. Condition Report: The bust bears the usual marks, knocks and scuffs overall consistent with age.There is some darkening/marking and slight pitting to the surface, including the forehead where there are small indentations. There is a small restoration to the top lip, and also the tip of the nose. There are traces of adhesive residue between the bust and the waisted socle, and to the rear there is some possible strengthening with a section of white marble (please see extra images for visual reference).Areas of filling (subtle) to the jasper drapery.Some minor chips and losses to socle.Buyers should note that while elements of this bust are 18th century as catalogued (such as the jasper torso), others such as the socle and possibly even the head, may be of different date.Additional information:We have been informed by the seller that the provenance for the present bust is Genoese auction house Wannenes, circa 2019, by repute from the collection of a well-known Italian art dealer.The plinth is also in bardiglio marble, and has provenance to a Hertfordshire house.Condition Report Disclaimer
Lot 215
A set of four monumental Italian sculpted white marble busts emblematic of the Four Seasons, follower of Orazio Marinali (1643-1720), 18th century, of large proportions, each characteristically portrayed with attributes and partially draped, the largest example approximately 95cm high, 86cm high; presented on modern limed oak plinths, 115cm high, 61cm square With their characterful features and loosely flowing hair and drapery, these impressive busts echo the taste of the Veneto region at the turn of the 18th century. They show in particular the influence of a group of sculptors working around Venice, which included Giovanni Bonazza, Michele Fabris (called l'Ongaro), and Orazio Marinali, who not only completed significant large-scale religious commissions in the region but also embraced a range of allegorical and genre subjects both in bust and full length format, rendering them with great emotion and attention to detail. Examples of allegorical busts emblematic of the seasons include the set by Giovanni Bonazza at the Botanical Garden in Padua (which are noted in 1854 by Antonio Ceni in Guida all'Imperial Regio Orto Botanico in Padova, p. 47). While the busts in the present lot are certainly indebted to Bonazza, they also show the influence of Orazio Marinali, who is best known for the elegantly draped statues of mythological and allegorical subjects which adorn the gardens of the Villa Trissino in his native Vicenza. The rounded features of the maidens in particular can be likened to those of the maidens at Vicenza, and those at Villa Revedin, Castelfranco Veneto. The cloaked and bearded male sitter on the other hand shows similarities to known busts of the same subject by Marinali. Note for example the similar bust of Winter which was offered at Sotheby's London, 5 December 2017, A Venetian Legacy, lot 521 (£27,500). A set of Italian busts executed on a smaller scale though representing the Seasons in similar guises appeared at Sotheby's New York, 24 May 2007, The Collection of Mr and Mrs Stephen C Gilbert, lot 15 ($39,000), and a similar set to the present examples, though of later date, was sold at Christie's New York, the Di Portanova Collection, 20 October 2000, lot 333 ($82,250).Condition Report: The busts are quite weathered overall, resulting in some granulation, striation and discolouration to the surfaces overall. In some cases, particularly for the busts of spring and winter, this has resulted in some loss of definition to the facial features.The bust of summer has some losses and chips to the edges of the drapery, the drapery of Winter has also got one or two repairs (including one circa 10cm crack).Minor losses to socles. That being said, these impressive busts are in perfectly presentable condition.Condition Report Disclaimer
