This is divided into four sections: orders and elementary problems, domestic buildings, public building and town planning and temples. Palladio's style was directly inspired by Roman classical models through the writings of Vitruvius and Alberti. Its characteristics are those of classicism: symmetry, order, fixed mathematical relations of the parts to each other and to the whole, logic and monumentality. Though it is true that Palladio in his later period adopted some of the mannerist vernacular, his buildings remain essentially classical, in contrast to the baroque style of the period in Rome and Piedmont."

Ex-Pelé Collection: Brazilian National Football Championship [Taça Brazil] winner's medal awarded to Pelé for one of Santos FC's five successive national titles between 1961 and 1965, gilt, maker's stamp for Montini, the obverse featuring a footballer enclosed by laurel above and wings below, with the C.B.D. emblem in enamel, also maker’s mark indistinctly stamped, the reverse inscribed "Confederação Brasileira de Desportos/ Campeonato Brasileiro/ 1. Lugar", 54 by 35mm., some wear and pitting to gold-toning, overall good   Due to the large geographical size of Brazil, and prior to advancements in air travel, traditionally football championships were organised only at state and regional levels. In 1959 the CBD created a national football championship – the Taça Brasil – competed for by state champions. This was deemed necessary to appoint a Brazilian representative in 1960 to the first edition of the Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent of the European Cup/Champions League. The Taça Brasil ran until 1968 before evolving through various formats until settling as today’s Campeonato Brasileiro Série A from 1989. At state level Santos FC competed in the Campeonato Paulista, the top-flight League in the state of São Paulo. As Paulista or reigning Copa Libertadores champions, they qualified for and won a remarkable five successive Taça Brasil titles between 1961 and 1965. Pelé was top goalscorer on three of these occasions. The medal being offered here is undated and therefore it is unknown for which of Pelé's five National Championship titles this was awarded for, Provenance: The Pelé Collection.

◆ FINE AND RARE CERAMIC 'SYDNEY COVE MEDALLION' BY JOSIAH WEDGWOOD THE ORIGINAL ISSUE, 1789 modelled from dark brown unglazed earthenware, with crisply moulded decoration depicting a female figure, emblematic of Hope, wearing classical robes and standing on rocks before an anchor, extending her right hand to Peace, Art and Labour; the figures stand on the shores of a bay, in the distance a ship sails; the female figure of Peace holds an olive branch in her right hand with a horn of plenty at her feet; Art is modelled as a female, with a palette in her right hand; Labour is depicted as a bearded figure, wearing a loin cloth and holding a sledge hammer over his shoulder; 'ETRURIA / 1789' is inscribed below the scene in raised letters; the reverse impressed 'MADE BY / IOSIAH WEDGWOOD / OF CLAY / FROM / SYDNEY COVE'Dimensions:5.7cm diameter, 0.2cm depth, 5.6cm internal diameter of the encircling ringProvenance:From a private UK collectionNote: THE FIRST FLEET AND THE SYDNEY COVE MEDALLIONAn object of great importance in ceramic history and the history of travel and exploration, the Sydney Cove Medallion is an original artefact from the voyage of the First Fleet under Captain Arthur Phillip, which marked the beginning of European settlement in Australia.Phillip landed at Botany Bay in January 1788 with orders to establish a penal colony, which he did some twelve miles north at Sydney Cove, now Sydney Harbour. The settlement he founded is the direct ancestor of the modern Australian state and has been viewed favourably by historians as a model of just and pragmatic governance.Exhibiting a fineness of detail made possible by the unique qualities of the Sydney Cove clay, the medallion is a superb embodiment of the ingenuity of one of 18th century Britain’s leading industrialists.The medallion was made at Wedgwood's Etruria factory in 1789. It was designed by Henry Webber and modelled by Wedgwood’s principal modeler, William Hackwood. It is moulded in bas-relief with a classical scene depicting Hope, encouraging Peace, Art and Labour, to work for the prosperity of the new young settlement. The original medallions range in colour from pale biscuit to a dark brown, almost black colour, as represented by the example being offered. In 1770 Captain James Cook discovered the Australian continent and claimed part of it for Britain. With the loss of British colonies in North America, the British were keen to expand their territories in other parts of the world and the government decided to found a settlement in Australia. In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillip became First Governor of the state of New South Wales, where he had been commissioned by George III to create a penal colony, as a way of dealing with the overcrowding in British prisons and prison ships. Eleven ships, carrying over a 1000 people, including 850 convicts and 200 officers, put down anchor at Sydney Cove on 26th Jan 1788. This is now known as ‘The First Fleet’. In November of that same year Captain Phillip wrote to Sir Joseph Banks, who was president of the Royal Society and had accompanied Captain Cook on his 1768 expedition, to inform him that he had found minerals and white clay in the area. He sent samples of these to Banks at the end of 1788. Banks directed the minerals to the relevant scientists, and he sent the clay directly to his friend and fellow Royal Society and Lunar Society member, Josiah Wedgwood, for him to investigate its potential for ceramic production. Wedgwood worked with the clay and was very pleased with its qualities. Two batches of medallions were produced from the clay sent back to Sir Joseph Banks. From the first batch of medallions Wedgwood sent an example to Banks and on 12th March 1790 Wedgwood wrote to him: “I have the pleasure of acquainting you, that the clay from Sydney Cove, which you did me the honour of submitting to my examination, is an excellent material for pottery, and may certainly be made the basis of a valuable manufacture for our infant colony there. Of the species of ware which may be produced from it, you will have some idea from the medallions I have sent for your inspection.” [1] Medallions from the first batch were to be sent to Sydney Cove, for the attention of Governor Phillip, on the ‘Second Fleet’ and they were to be distributed at his discretion. By November 1789, a second batch of medallions had been completed. Wedgwood’s friend, the physician and poet Erasmus Darwin, was the recipient of one. He wrote to Wedgwood:“I have received great pleasure from your excellent medallion of Hope. The figures are all finely beautiful and speak for themselves.” [2] In Nov 1789, an account of ‘The Voyage of Governor Phillip to Botany Bay’ was printed by the publisher John Stockdale. On the title page there is an engraving of the Sydney Cove Medallion and a description of it: “The elegant Vignette in the title-page was engraved from a medallion which the ingenious Mr Wedgewood caused to be modelled from a small piece of clay brought from Sydney Cove. The clay proves to be of a fine texture, and will be found very useful for the manufactory of earthenware. The design is allegorical; it represents Hope encouraging Art and Labour, under the influence of Peace, to pursue the employments necessary to give security and happiness to an infant settlement.” [3] It is unknown how many medallions of the original issue were produced. The whereabouts of 12 are currently known. [4] As the medallions would have taken considerable time and skill to make Richard Smith suggests in his Sydney Cove Medallion essay that:“Wedgwood would have made no more than was necessary for the publicity value. One for Erasmus Darwin; a few for Sir Joseph Banks as President of the Royal Society for his own distribution; perhaps fifteen or twenty for Governor Phillip’s distribution. The total production may have been somewhere around two dozen, probably no more.” Despite having carried out thousands of ceramic experiments over many years, it appears that Wedgwood was proud of creating the Sydney Cove medallion, producing a special issue to commemorate the settlement at Sydney Cove. These medallions record the start of a new chapter of colonial history as well as symbolising Wedgwood’s skill and technical innovation, which was at its height at this time. The medallions are fine and fragile in nature. Surviving examples are rare and are seldom seen on the market.

Others are in Australian museums and institutions: five in the Mitchell State Library, New South Wales; one in the National Museum of Australia, Canberra; one with the Sydney Living Museums Corporation; one in the Silent World Foundation. In 2014 a medallion was offered for sale by an Australian antiques dealer and is now in private ownership.

LIU BOLIN (Shandong, 1973)."Camouflage nº03", 2007, from the series "Hide in the city".C-Print on aluminium, edition 8/8.Size: 97 x 120 cm.This photograph belongs to the most emblematic series of the Chinese artist Liu Bolin. "Hide in the city" consisted of a series of photographed actions in which he mimicked urban environments, as a form of rebellion against the system. The project was conceived after the demolition by the Chinese authorities in 2005 of his and other artists' studios in Suo Jia Cun. This centre was considered the largest congregation of artists in Asia. As an act of silent rebellion, he began this project of physical invisibilisation in the urban context, aimed at drawing attention to the Chinese government's lack of protection for its own artists. Using his own body to paint himself on the landscape of various locations in Beijing, Liu provided a space for the Chinese artist, preserving his social status and highlighting his problematic relationship with the physical environment. In June 2011 Liu created the series "Hidden in New York", in which he incorporated cultural icons of New York.Liu Bolin is a Chinese artist, sculptor and photographer. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Shandong University School of Arts, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 2001. He has also held numerous exhibitions in various countries. Liu belongs to the generation that came of age in the early 1990s, when China was recovering from the Cultural Revolution and beginning to enjoy rapid economic growth and a relatively stable political scene. Since his first solo shows in 1998, Liu's work has received international recognition. His photographs and sculptures have been exhibited at the Les Rencontres d'Arles photography festival, Dashanzi Art Zone in Beijing (2007), Bertin-Toublanc Galleries in Paris (2007), Klein Sun Gallery in New York (2008), Galerie Paris-Beijing in Paris and Brussels (2013), Boxart in Verona (2008), and the Forma Foundation for Photography in Milan (2010), among others. In 2009, he created the sculpture "Burning Man Obama" in honour of Barack Obama, to celebrate the US President's visit to China. In 2013, Liu designed the visual art for Bon Jovi's What About Now album.
