Irish Roman Catholic Interest. A 19th Century Italian illumination presented by Pope Pius IX to Ireland's first Cardinal, Paul Cullen, Archbishop of Dublin, to commemorate the definition of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, inscribed "Pius IX Pont Mar / Conceptionem Immaculatum / Beatissimae Virginis Maria / Definivit die 8th Dec 1854 / Atque / Hiberniam Sanctorum Insulam / Marimo Illustravit Honore / Paulo Cullen Archiepiscopo / Dublinensi Cum Principibus Sacri / Colleaii Cadinalum collocato / die 25 Junii 1866", with central depiction of the Annunciation, bordered by ornate scrollwork and cartouches decorated with armorials and named saints, parchment overall 70 x 49cm, housed within an ornate Florentine carved giltwood frame, overall 80cm wide, 116cm high, Paul Cardinal Cullen (29 April 1803 – 24 October 1878) was Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin and previously of Armagh, and the first Irish cardinal. His Ultramontanism spearheaded the Romanisation of the Catholic Church in Ireland and ushered in the devotional revolution experienced in Ireland through the second half of the 19th century and much of the 20th century. A trained biblical theologian and scholar of ancient languages, Cullen crafted the formula for papal infallibility at the First Vatican Council.Cullen paid frequent visits to Rome. He took part in the definition of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1854 and with the 18th centenary of the martyrdom of Saints Peter and Paul in 1867, when he stayed at the Irish College.He attended all the sessions of Vatican I, taking an active part in its deliberations. Towards the close of the council, at the express wish of the Central Commission, he proposed a formula for the definition of papal infallibility. It was a matter of great delicacy, as promoters of the definition were split in various factions, some anxious to assign a wide range to the pope's decisions, and others would set forth in a somewhat indefinite way the papal prerogative.He was the most important Irish political figure in the 30 years between Daniel O'Connell and Charles Stuart Parnell. In political matters, Cullen made it a rule to support every measure, whatever its provenance, conducive to the interests of his vision for the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. Desmond Bowen considers Cardinal Cullen "a cautious, suspicious, and usually shrewd product of the Roman school of diplomacy".Cullen also started the practice of Irish priests wearing Roman collars and being called "Father" (instead of "Mister") by their parishioners. Parchment showing undulation throughout but otherwise looks to be in good fresh order, some tiny white light mould marks showing most notable on the dark blue behind the Virgin but probably also elsewhere, these look to be light white mould on the surface of the work which is under glass, main Florentine frame has suffered much rubbing over the years with losses of the original gilding, the top Irish harp motif is held on with blu-tac, presumably there were other motifs at the lower corners which are now missing, arms at the bottom of the frame are inscribed with his motto Ponit Animam Pro Amicis.PLEASE NOTE:- Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested BEFORE the auction takes place.

dating: 1904 provenance: Kingdom of Italy, Lot of gilded bronze medals donated to the tenor Francesco Tamagno by the Umberto 1° kindergarten. On the obverse, they both feature an anthropomorphic figure playing the harp, one with a representation in relief. On the reverse, the dedications: 'A FRANCESCO TAMAGNO LA SOCIETA' PER GLI ASILI (NOTTURNI) IN TORINO (ASILO NOTTURNO UMBERTO 1°) RICONOSCENTE / 31 MAGGIO 1904'; l'altra 'A FRANCESCO TAMAGNO L'ASILO INFANTILE UMBERTO 1�(PIAZZA D'ARMI )RICONOSCENTE / 31 MAGGIO 1904''. Francesco Innocenzo Tamagno was born on December 28th, 1850, in Turin, Italy. He developed an interest in music and vocal practice through his involvement with an amateur association and later the oratory of Don Giovanni Bosco (1815-1888) in the nearby village of Valdocco. With a powerful tenor voice, he distinguished himself during these early experiences so much that he was invited to sing at the inauguration of the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians on June 9th, 1868. From 1870 to 1873, he studied at the Turin Musical Lyceum while gaining his first professional experiences: debuting at the Teatro Regio as a chorister in 1870 in a production of 'Les Huguenots' by Eug�ne Scribe, �mile Deschamps (1791-1871), and Giacomo Meyerbeer.After a hiatus to complete his military service in 1871, he made his debut in a minor role as Gaspero in 'La colpa del cuore' by Raffaello Berninzone (1828-1924) and Francesco Cortesi (1826-1904) on February 27th, 1872. From 1873, he was managed by theatrical agent Antonio Rosani, who secured him leading roles at the Teatro Bellini in Palermo, where he received valuable vocal technique advice from tenor Antonio Platania.On December 26th, 1877, Tamagno participated in the season opening at La Scala in Milan with 'L'africana' by Scribe and Meyerbeer, earning critical acclaim alongside suggestions to further refine his vocal technique. In May 1878, he embarked on an extensive series of tours in Latin America, significantly contributing to his eventual acclaim. At the end of that year, Tamagno began a clandestine romantic relationship, which led to the birth of his beloved daughter Margherita (1879-1942) the following year.In the early months of 1881, Francesco Tamagno secured an engagement with La Scala for the second version of Giuseppe Verdi's 'Simon Boccanegra,' which featured a revised libretto by Arrigo Boito, based on Francesco Maria Piave's original work. This engagement marked Tamagno's first direct collaboration with Verdi. After another significant collaboration for the debut of the four-act version of 'Don Carlo' in the title role at La Scala in 1884, Tamagno was cast to play the lead in Verdi's new opera, 'Otello,' with a libretto by Boito, thanks to the recommendation of publisher Giulio Ricordi (1840-1912) in 1886.Following extensive and meticulous preparation under Verdi's guidance, Tamagno became a dominant presence in La Scala's season. He performed as Radam�s in the opening of 'Aida' on December 26th, 1886, and most notably starred in the world premiere of 'Otello' on February 5th, 1887. The triumphant success of this performance indelibly linked him to the role of Otello, which he would continue to perform frequently throughout the rest of his career.In the following years, Tamagno was highly sought after and received substantial fees for his performances. His final concert took place on March 27th, 1905, at the Circolo degli Artisti in Turin. Plagued by increasingly poor health, he died in Varese on August 31st, 1905. diameter 4 - 4 cm.

Jacques Emile Blanche (French, 1861-1942)Portrait of a young girl signed with initials 'J.E.B' (lower right)oil on canvas73.2 x 54.1cm (28 13/16 x 21 5/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceDr Arthur Kauffmann (1887-1983) and by descent to his son,Professor Michael Kauffmann (1931-2023), London.Dr Arthur Kauffmann (1887-1983) was an art historian and Frankfurt director of the auction house Hugo Helbing, Berlin. From 1937, Kauffmann was prohibited from holding auctions in Frankfurt due to his Jewish ancestry, and in 1938 he emigrated to London where he continued to deal in art and received British citizenship in 1947. Kauffmann's legacy is well documented, having helped establish the E. G. Bührle Collection Foundation, Zurich. His son, Professor Michael Kauffmann FBA (1931-2023), is also remembered for his significant career as an art historian. Professor Kauffmann worked firstly at the Warburg Institute, then the Manchester City Art Gallery and for several decades at the Victoria & Albert Museum. In 1985 he was appointed Director of the Courtauld, where he successfully reunited the Gallery and its Institute at Somerset House.Saleroom notices:This lot is included in the online Catalogue Raisonné de l'oeuvre de Jacques-Émile Blanche published by Jane Roberts under no. 1541 and titled Portrait of Pouponne or Wanda Zelenska, circa 1896. Please see Roberts, J., Jacques Emile Blanche, 2012, Paris, for three other portraits of the same sitter, pp. 70-71. When he wasn't painting portrait commissions or his friends, Blanche would call upon models that he would find close to Auteuil: Lucie Esnault, his locksmith's daughter, Désirée Manfred or as here, 'Pouponne'('Baby face') Zelenska whom he painted at every age from 1892 onwards, dressing her up in all sorts of disguises which he kept in his studio. The highly feminine and charming physique of Wanda, encouraged Blanche to paint her in eighteenth century inspired costumes against a landscape reminiscent of the English painters whom he so admired, such as Thomas Gainsborough and Sir Joshua Reynolds. Other paintings of Wanda can be seen in the Musée des Beaux Arts, Caen, and the Musée Blanche at Offranville as well as in several private collections and numerous lithographs. Here, Wanda, aged about ten years old,. She came from a Polish family who lived near Blanche in Passy and grew up to be a talented violinist and cellist, often accompanying her sister, Hélène, renowned for her performances on the chromatic harp.We are grateful to Jane Roberts for her assistance in cataloguing this lot.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

While there was a serious need for small change since no copper coinage had been struck for Ireland since 1696, the new issues proved politically unpopular, leading to calls for a general boycott by Dean Swift in his 'Drapier's Letters'.
