A FINE AND RARE VENETIAN PARADE SHIELD MADE FOR THE BODYGUARD OF WOLF DIETRICH VON RAITENAU, PRINCE ARCHBISHOP OF SALZBURG, LATE 16TH CENTURY of convex near circular form, constructed of two-ply wood covered with leather decorated on its front face, within an outer border of foliate chevrons and engrailing and an inner border of running foliage and flower-heads, with a pattern of foliate interlace and flowerheads all tooled and lacquered gold over silver, the ground of the main field additionally covered with translucent red lacquer, and the detail picked out throughout with red and green lacquer, the rear retaining traces of yellow-painted decoration, and fitted with a quilted leather arm-pad, a forward enarme and the remains of a rear enarme, the outer edge fitted with a screw and hook for suspension, (the leather covering showing some cracking and worm on both faces, as well as peripheral losses, the lacquering with areas of wear) 56.5cm; 22 1/4in wide This shield is one of a series made in the time of Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, who ruled as Prince Archbishop of Salzburg, 1587-1612. An inventory of 1669, now in the archives of the Städtisches Museum, Salzburg, mentions 398 gilded and painted shields. Some seventy of these shields are still to be found in the Carolina-Augusteum Museum, Salzburg. When Salzburg was occupied by the Bavarian troops in 1809 a number of these shields were transferred to the main Zeughaus at Munich, and sold from there after the First World War. Other examples of this distinctive group of shields are to be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Acc. No. 29.158.586) the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Art Institute, of Chicago, the Wallace Collection, London, the Historisches Museum, Dresden (Inv. No. N1), and Schloss Vaduz, Liechtenstein (cat. no. 871 & 881). Another was in the collection of Lord Astor of Hever (sold Sotheby`s, London, 5 May 1983, Lot 29). The fashion for Turkish-style arms is recorded in Europe as early as the middle years of the 16th Century. King Philip II had a `Turkish` bodyguard for his entry into Milan in 1548. The influence of Turkish taste is evident in both the style and technique of decoration of the Salzburg shields which has its origins in Turkish bookbindings of the period. During the 16th Century Venice had its own leatherworkers guild and many bookbindings as well as helmets, shields and quivers were made in this manner. For a contemporary discussion on the Venetian technique of varnishing and gilding see Leonardo Fioravanti, Compendio de` Secreti Nationali, Venice 1562 and Tommaso Garzoni, La Piazza universale di tutte le professioni del mondo, Nuovamente ristampata, posta in luce da Thomaso Garzoni da Bagnacauallo, con l`aggiunta d`alcune bellissime annotationi a discorso per discorso, Venice 1589. See E.J. Grube, 2007, pp. 231-251. Related shields of this type, but not part of the Salzburg contract are preserved in the armoury of the Palazzo Ducale, Venice (See U. Franzoi 1990, pp. 82-3). Another, set with a late 15th Century besagew in the centre and perhaps related to a group in the Correr Museum, Venice, was sold Sotheby`s, Milan, 14th October 2009, lot 1217, €17,500 (including premium).

* FALK, ROBERT 1886-1958 Village Landscape with Tall Trees signed, c. 1934-35 Oil on canvas, 90 by 58.5 cm. Provenance: The collection of A.F. Tchudnovsky, Leningrad. Private collection, Europe.Exhibited: R. Falk, The State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg, 1993, label on the reverse.Literature: D. Sarabianov, Robert Falk, Dresden, 1974, plate No. 85, illustrated in black-and-white. D. Sarabianov, Yu. Didenko, Robert Falk. Complete Catalogue of Works, Elisium, Moscow, 2006, p. 597, and plate No. 849, pp. 597 and 831, illustrated. Robert Falk painted Village Landscape with Tall Trees in 1934 during that notable summer when the artist left Paris with his son for Brittany, in the north of France. These few months spent on the coast were extremely fruitful. Dmitri Sarabianov wrote that "just as, a year or two before this, Provence had offered a unique change of direction, revealing something new, so also did Brittany offer Falk the prospect of important discoveries… For example, the subtle, refined Village Landscape with Tall Trees, paint ed in the tradition of the peaceful, contemplative interpretation of nature." Trees were always one of Falk’s favourite landscape motifs. He painted them throughout his life — in his early Jack of Diamonds period, later when strolling the never-ending Paris boulevards and finally for many years after he returned to Soviet Russia. Wherever he lived, almost every summer the artist travelled to the countryside, captivated by the provincial and rural environment. Falk was fond of motifs which were at first sight unprepossessing, and he consistently sought hidden beauty in external unattractiveness, beauty recognisable only by a perceptive eye. Falk loved such places and chose them specially — inconspicuous, quietly contemplative spots which one might assume the artist had discovered totally by chance. It is no accident that many of his rural scenes resonate with each other. In its composition, in its look of a "cropped" fragment of real life, the picture Village Landscape with Tall Trees relates to Falk’s Cubist canvas Landscape with Tall Trees of 1920 (now in the State Tretyakov Gallery). Both of these belong to the group of his landscapes in which no open spaces are revealed in the background — just a damp, overgrown corner of a garden which appears to over-hang the neighbouring houses, these being deliberately depicted as small, as well as some grey open sky above them. But by his constant transitions and tinges of grey, silver and green, the artist creates a surprising depth and expansiveness which requires the viewer to look for a while, to immerse himself in the painting. In the present work, though we can see randomness in the composition, the degree of internal structuring remains hidden. The composition seems to be, intentionally, without a centre: the house with its red-tiled roof and the tall trees cling to the edges of the canvas and, cut off by the frame, do not fit within its bounds. The area of grey, windy sky and the small human figure draw our attention at the same time to the top and bottom of the picture. And yet the very principle of figurative painting is entirely opposed to any kind of randomness. Every part of the landscape lives its own life and does not so much reproduce fragments of provincial existence as express the existential meaning of things.

A Lange & Sohne, Glashutte, B/Dresden, an 18 carat gold open faced pocket watch, circa 1905, no. 45212, the four piece hinged case with engine turned back cover engraved with a monogram, ‘ES’, the gold dial with engine turned centre and punched border, black Arabic numerals, blued steel Breguet hands, and subsidiary seconds dial, the 17 jewel Lange & Sohne movement with gold jewel settings and screwed to the plate, diamond endstone, gold lever and escape wheel adjusted to 5 positions, bimetallic split balance, overcoil balance spring, micro regulation, the inner cuvette inscribed, the case 4.8 cm diameter. Lange was established in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashutte, a small town near Dresden, starting the enterprise with his brother-in-law, Adolf Schneider, the master watchmaker. Together, with the aid of 15 apprentices, they laid the foundation for Germany’s precision watchmaking industry. The company grew, moving to a family run complex in 1873. It was from this point to the Great Depression in 1929 that they produced some of their finest pocket watches. Soon after 1945, the complex was expropriated by the Socialist government, and it was not until the unification of Germany in 1990 that the company was re-started by the founder’s great grandson, Walter Lange.
