Turin/Manuta /Monza 2013.Weibliche Akte finden sich früh in der italienischen Kunst, vornehmlich in Darstellungen der griechischen und römischen Mythologie. Niemals zuvor jedoch wurden sie mit einer Sinnlichkeit wiedergegeben wie bei den großen Venezianern zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts, bei Giorgione, Palma Vecchio und Tizian. Wie Gentillini gezeigt hat, verbreitete sich die Darstellung der schlafenden Venus nach dem Erscheinen der neoplatonischen Schrift Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (1499), die von entscheidender Bedeutung war für die Verbreitung klassischer Bildmuster. Eine der berühmtesten Xylographien der Publikation zeigt eine schlafende Nymphe, die von einem Satyr entdeckt wird, begleitet von der griechischen Inschrift PANTON TOKADI, „Mutter von Allem” (vgl. Abb. 1). So wird die schlafende Nymphe mit der Venus Gentrix gleichgesetzt und der schöpferischen Kraft der Liebe inmitten der fruchtbaren Natur gehuldigt. Das erste und berühmteste Beispiel dieser neuen Ikonografie stellt Giorgiones Dresdener Venus dar (vgl. Abb. 2). Palma Vecchio selbst hat das Thema mehrmals behandelt, wofür das vorliegende Gemälde ein exemplarisches Beispiel ist. Das Gemälde kann ab antiquo zurückverfolgt und als jenes Werk identifiziert werden, das im Nachlassinventar Palma Vecchios aus dem Jahr 1529 als “ein großes Gemälde auf Leinwand mit einem nahezu fertigen Akt” bezeichnet wird, wobei ein zweites, größeres Gemälde, ein tellero, ebenfalls erwähnt wird.Seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts befand sich das Werke in mehreren herausragenden Sammlungen und wurde unter anderem in der Londoner Royal Academy und im Courtauld institute ausgestellt. Es fand schließlich Eingang in eine der bedeutendsten US-amerikanischen Sammlungen, in jene J. Paul Gettys in Malibu. Palma Vecchio reüssierte in Venedig zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts und wurde vor allem durch Darstellungen junger Frauen berühmt, Belle genannt, die zwischen Idealdarstellung und Bildnis oszillieren. Palma Vecchios Venus und Amor in einer Landschaft, heute im Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, kann als unmittelbares Vorbild für die vorliegende Komposition angesehen werden. (vgl. Abb. 3) Während der Akt in Cambridge aufgrund der Attribute zweifellos als Venus identifiziert werden kann und somit an die Tradition des Quattrocento anknüpft, offenbart die vorlegende Darstellung die Kenntnis der Hypnerotomachia Poliphili.Obgleich die Figur des Amor mit seinen Attributen fehlt, kann der weibliche Akt als Venus identifiziert werden, wobei die weibliche Figur, die Göttin, aus jeglichem narrativen Zusammenhang und aus traditionellen Darstellungsmustern herausgenommen ist. Elemente wie der Haarschmuck, der Ehering und der Schleier (dem Symbol der weiblichen Keuschheit) sowie der Blick der Figur aus dem Bild - zu ihrem Gatten - verorten sie eher in das 16. Jahrhundert denn in eine ferne mythologische Welt. Im Gegensatz zu den zahllosen schönen jungen weiblichen Figuren, deren Gesten und Attribute uneindeutig bleiben, haben wir es hier mit Venus zu tun, die sich als Braut präsentiert. In ähnlicher Weise sollte zehn Jahre später Tizian die berühmte Venus von Urbino für Guidobaldo della Rovere malen - eine Liebesgöttin, die am Hofe im Schlafgemach liegend die jugendliche Braut in die Liebe einweist.Die Infrarotreflektografie des Gemäldes zeigt einen vorzüglichen Erhaltungszustand und nahezu keine neueren Restaurierungen. Es weist zudem die charakteristischen Pentimenti der Werke Palma Vecchios, vor allem in der Stellung der Beine der Figur, die zuvor weiter ausgestreckt waren. Der originale Intaglio-Rahmen ist ein Meisterwerk der venezianischen Rahmenkunst, er kann dem Meister Jacopo da Bergamo, einem Freund Palma Vecchios, zugeschrieben werden. Jacopo da Bergamo ließ sich bei der Gestaltung wahrscheinlich durch den berühmten Ara Grimani inspirieren, einem römischen Marmor aus dem ersten Jahrhundert vor Christus, der 1526 als Teil der Sammlung Grimani nach Venedig gelangte.

Wilde (Oscar) Newdigate Prize Poem. Ravenna, first edition, armorial device on title and upper cover, 16pp., original printed wrappers bound in, later salmon pink half straight-grain morocco, gilt, by Hatchards, t.e.g., [Mason 301], 8vo, Oxford, Thos. Shrimpton and Son, 1878.⁂ Wilde's first published book. "During a vacation ramble in 1877 he started for Greece, [and] visiting Ravenna by chance on the way, he obtained material for a poem on that ancient city, and singularly enough 'Ravenna' was afterwards given out as the topic for the Newdigate competition." (The Aesthetic Movement in England by Walter Hamilton, 1882.)This and the following 5 lots are uniformly bound and each book bears the bookplate of Sir William Eden, Bart., (occasionally inserted upside-down on the rear pastedown).Sir William Morton Eden, 7th Baronet of West Auckland and 5th Baronet of Maryland, of Windlestone Hall, County Durham, was father of Prime Minister Anthony Eden, later Earl of Avon. He was an eccentric and irascible man, a brilliant huntsman, talented watercolourist, and early collector of impressionist pictures. In the words of his son Sir Timothy: '...he was induced neither by poverty nor obscurity of birth, nor by timidity — for he was physically and morally fearless — nor by the slightest vestige of self-discipline, to restrain the exuberance of his feelings. Nature had showered upon him with an uncontrolled hand her gifts and her curses alike, and without control he received them all, and without control he expended them.' He had a celebrated legal dispute with Whistler over a portrait he had commissioned of Lady Eden. See: 1) Timothy Eden, The Tribulations of a Baronet, (Macmillan, 1933, 2nd Edition The Spredden Press, 1990) 2) Whistler, James McNeill, Eden versus Whistler: The Baronet and the Butterfly. A Valentine with a Verdict, Paris and New York, 1899.
