Vicerregal School. Cuzco. Peru. 18th century.“Our Lady Immaculate and Pure, with some of the Litanies of Loreto"Oil on canvas.179,5 x 130,5 cm.It has not been possible to attribute this painting to a particular artist, but it is undoubtedly the work of a master. One only has observe the beauty of the Virgin Mary's face and the portraits of the saints at her feet.This is a spectacular Cuzco canvas representing the Immaculate Virgin Mary ascending to the heavens on a half-moon and stamping on evil, amidst a choir of angels that display some of the names, invocations, or honorary titles given by the holy Fathers, extolling her dignity. With them, her person is honoured and her powerful intercession is invoked.Below, Saint Peter and Saint Anthony of Padua are in prayer. These were possibly the saint names of the donors who commissioned the painting.Surrounding Mary are some of the litanies of the Blessed Virgin Mary.On the left, above: MYSTICAL ROSE: ("...like a plant of roses in Jericho," Ecclesiasticus 24:14. Mary is the rose of Jericho that had primacy over the others for its magnificence, its rare form, and its exquisite scent; and the rose bushes grew like trees.) MIRROR OF JUSTICE: ("She is a mirror of the eternal light, a spotless mirror of God's activity, an image of His goodness," Wisdom 7:26. Justice here is almost equivalent to the word holiness, of perfection, and supernatural goodness.)In the arms of an angel, a TREE, a CEDAR, "I have grown as a cedar in Lebanon" (Ecclesiasticus 24:17). The incorruptible cedar is a symbol of chastity. "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots, a Branch will bear fruit" (Isaiah 11:1).GATE OF HEAVEN ("And he was afraid and said, 'How dreadful is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!'" Genesis 28:17. Because it was through her that Our Lord Jesus Christ passed from Heaven to earth).On the right, another tree, THE OLIVE: "...like a beautiful olive tree in the fields" (Ecclesiasticus 24:14).Below,TOWER OF DAVID ("Your neck is like the tower of David, built with elegance" Song of Songs 4:4. A strong and beautiful construction that rose above the peak of a mountain built by King David for the defence of the city of Jerusalem. The Blessed Virgin Mary who rises sublime above the summit of all beauty and perfection, for the defence of the holy Church of God, the mystical Jerusalem.) FOUNTAIN: ("Fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon" Song of Songs 4:15).Upper right:LILIES OF THE FIELD ("Like a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters" Song of Songs 2:2).Below, the PALM TREE, or patient palm in pain ("I have grown tall like a palm tree") Ecclesiasticus 24:14. Mary evokes the palm branches of Jesus' triumph in Jerusalem (John 12:13), a foreshadowing of his triumph with all the elect ("There was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb" Revelation 7:9). The palm, a sign of a victory achieved through perseverance in the struggle and enduring pain with fortitude, steadfastly, like Mary at the foot of the Cross.HOUSE OF GOLD, (the most beautiful of all metals, the one with the most value, because its virtues and purity have a transcendental brilliance and a dazzling perfection, are like an admirable work made of the purest gold.)And the 4th tree, CYPRESS: "...like a cypress on the mountains of Hermon" (Ecclesiasticus 24:13).Below,THE WELL: "...a well of living waters" Song of Songs 4:15. and TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?" 1 Corinthians 6:19.This lot is imported and therefore has a guaranteed export license from the Spanish Ministry of Culture.

As noted by his first wife, artist Nelli Andrikipoulou, 'these works were such accurate representations and, at the same time, personal interpretations of reality that [the architect] Dimitris Pikionis justly called them 'psychographs of buildings'. They truthfully reflect Engonopoulos's inner beauty and graciousness.'¹ Captured in fiery red and diligently rendered, the stately mansion—a characteristic example of late Athenian neoclassicism²â€”dominates the left part of the painting, while on the right middleground an enigmatic gate-like structure with a yellow curtain thrown over it conveys a pronounced sense of theatricality. As noted by art historian P. Rigopoulou, the artist never hesitated to explore the correlations between theatrical and pictorial space and introduce the theatrical into his painting.³ ¹. N.

ATTRIBUTED INNOCENZO SPINAZZI (1726-1798) ITALIAN, FLORENCE, CA. 1775 PAIR OF CAPRICORNS Marble each 115 by 154cm Provenance: Possibly commissioned by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo (later Emperor Leopold II) for a scheme in the Boboli Gardens, Florence With Giovanni Pratesi Antiquario, 2011 These outstanding marble Capricorns are exceptional for their size, quality and condition, as well as for the rarity of the subject matter in Italian sculpture. The model originates in 16th century Florence, created to decorate monumental gate posts in the Boboli Gardens, the famous park connected to the Palazzo Pitti. Attributed to a sculptor from the circle of Bartolomeo Ammannati (1511-1592), they flank the entrance to the Isola, a part of the gardens that has Giambologna's magisterial Oceanus fountain at its centre. The Capricorn was an important emblem for Cosimo I de' Medici (1519-1574), for whom the star sign was ascendant, and its use here may have been an homage to Lorenzo il Magnifico, the late 15th century Medici ruler, who was born on 1 January 1449, making him a Capricorn. By the middle of the 18th century, the Boboli Gardens had fallen into disrepair. With the arrival of the Lorrainese Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo (later Emperor Leopold II) at Florence in 1770, a programme to restore the Gardens was initiated. The commission given to Innocenzo Spinazzi is documented between 1775-1777. The Roman sculptor was required to repair, copy and restore the sixteenth century Capricorns, which were eventually reinstalled in the Boboli Gardens. The Capricorns are the crowning achievement of Spinazzi's work in the Boboli Gardens project and this aspect of his career has been studied in depth by Prof. Gabriele Capecchi, who has written extensively on the Boboli Gardens and has authored a volume dedicated to these Capricorns that details all the related documents and to which the present text is indebted. Capecchi has published a series of documents issued by the Scrittoio della Fortezza e Fabbriche in the 1770s which relate to the programme of restoration in the Boboli Gardens. A document dated 27 January 1776 describes the Vasca detta dell'Isola that needed restoration to the sculptures, which included four Capricorns described as by Giambologna and his assistants; Capecchi attributes them to the circle of Ammannati, a contemporary of Giambologna. This document details how two of the statues had been delivered to Spinazzi's studio to be repaired and specifies that two casts were to be taken, from which four statues were required to be made. The documents go on to specify the high quality marble needed for these new copies which was to be brought directly from Carrara, because the quality of the existing marble in the warehouse at S. Lorenzo was inadequate. The documents note that Spinazzi was working on this commission with an assistant, Giuseppe Belli, and the plaster casts were made by the specialist craftsman, Niccolò Kindermann. By July 1777, the initial plan to replace the 16th century Capricorns with new ones was altered, presumably due to pressure of time and lack of funds, in favour of restoring the original marbles by adding new heads, horns and tails. The four restored statues were transported back to the Boboli Gardens and reinstalled on 26 August 1777. The present pair of marbles fit with the description of the Capricorns in these documents. It is apparent, however, that they vary in many details from the existing Capricorns in the Boboli Gardens. The carving of the hair on the heads, the anatomy of the mouths and the carving of the eyes are all different. It is notable that the tails differ between the four existing Capricorns in the Boboli Gardens, two having their tails pointing down and two pointing up. The present Capricorns are consistent with the latter. These inconsistencies bring into question which animals in the Boboli Gardens are the work of Spinazzi, Harwood and Capezzóli, and why the present marbles are different. In approaching the commission to restore and copy the Capricorns, Spinazzi brought a wealth of experience he had gained working with ancient sculpture in Rome, which had surely recommended him to the Grand Duke five years previously. Certainly, he was a skilled restorer of ancient Roman statues, and made exact, high quality copies. The Capricorns are of the same genre, but distinct in their animal subject matter. Here, his source is not Antiquity, but a 16th century model. In the late 18th century, the Boboli Capricorns were believed to be by the great Giambologna, whose sculptures were reproduced for the Grand Tourists with the same reverence afforded to antique marbles. It is natural, then, that Spinazzi would have approached his commission first to copy and then to restore the Capricorns with great respect to the originals. This may account for the clear differences between the heads of the Capricorns in the Boboli Gardens and the present pair: the eyes of the animals in situ are un-carved; the form of the snout and tail are different; the hair is depicted with shorter, more deeply carved curls; and the handling of the mound of rocks is also quite different. So, for his restoration, Spinazzi appears to have reproduced the style of the 16th century Capricorns in the parts he added, and these additions vary from his own interpretation shown in the present Capricorns. Condition Report: These were placed into storage by Count Manfredi. When removed for sale they were found to have become very dirty from warehouse dirt and dust. Accordingly, they have been lightly cleaned back to approximately where they would have been when purchased from Giovanni Pratesi Antiquario in 2011. The surface suggests that they have only ever spent a limited time outdoors with small old stains from conservatory/orangery damp and plants. There have been restorations to: three front legs, 3 horns, tips of hooves, ends of tails, some mid-section body scales (most visible under strong light or UV).
