An Italian Grand Tour model of the Temple of Castor and Pollux, 19th century, Sienna marble on a black marble plinth, 36cm high In the Forum in Rome, near the Temple of Vesta, stands what is left of the temple erected in honour of Castor and Pollux, the twin sons of Jupiter. The temple was built in 495BC to commemorate victory at the Battle of Lake Regillus. Legend has it that during the battle, the two youths on horseback, far excelling mortals in beauty of form and features, appeared to Postumius, the Roman leader, and to those about him, and charged at the head of the Roman cavalry. They wounded all they met with their spears and drove the Latins before them, putting them to flight, taking their camp and ending the battle. Three massive columns, over forty-eight feet high, remain from the Temple of Castor and Pollux. The temple had been rebuilt between 7BC and 6AD. CONDITION REPORT: Central column cracked through, otherwise minor chips.

With the 18th century and the spread of the Grand Tour, the taste for such busts increased, and pairs became an important feature in interior decoration, demonstrating not only the owner's taste, but also his extensive and exotic travels.

Lot 541
*Sir Jacob Epstein RA (1880-1959), 'St Michael and the Devil' - a maquette for the sculpture at Coventry Cathedral, bronze, light brown patination, 51cm high, on a wooden plinth Conceived in 1956 Provenance: with Bernard Danenberg, New York; with Maxwell Galleries, San Francisco; with Gillian Jason Gallery, London, 1989. Literature: R.Buckle, 'Jacob Epstein Sculptor', London, 1963, p.393, no. 624, pl. 624 (another cast illustrated); E.P.Schinman and B.A.Schinman (ed.), 'Jacob Epstein, A Catalogue of the Collection of Edward P.Schinman', 1970, p.55 (another cast illustrated); E.Silber, 'The Sculpture of Epstein', Oxford, 1986, p.223, no. 502, (clay model illustrated). 'St Michael and the Devil', regarded by many as Epstein's masterpiece, was mounted on the cathedral wall in 1960, unfortunately the year after the sculptor's death. It depicts St Michael, the patron saint of the cathedral, standing victorious over the Devil, and serves as a symbol of the triumph of good over evil after the bombing of November 1940 and the devastating fire which destroyed the old building. Epstein was a controversial choice for the commission and the Reconstruction Committee had misgivings for a variety of reasons. The architect of the new cathedral, Basil Spence, regarded him as the greatest living British sculptor and went to great lengths to promote his cause. A visit to Epstein by the Provost of the cathedral Richard Howard, accompanied by Spence, helped to erase those doubts, and Howard was much taken by the sculptor's charm and sensitivity. *Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot. CONDITION REPORT: No obvious defects.
