A BLACK-GROUND PORCELAIN ‘CORNELIS PRONK’ SQUARE BALUSTER VASE, 18TH CENTURYChina, c. 1734-1740. The rounded sides rising from a splayed foot to a tapering neck with an everted rim, finely painted in bright enamels with redcurrants on a branch with foliage, reserved on a black ground.Provenance: British private collection. Condition: Overall, very good condition with some old wear and firing flaws, some chips to edges, expected pitting and glaze recesses, occasional light scratches and traces of use.Weight: 1,529 gDimensions: Height 28.8 cmHaving been inspired in form by archaic Chinese bronzes, this vase was designed by the Dutch draftsman Cornelis Pronk (1691-1759), who was employed by the Dutch East India Company to produce porcelain designs from 1734 until 1740. Pronk incorporated in many of his designs details taken from prints by the Dutch-Swiss botanist, Marie Sybille Merian (1646-1717), and the decoration on these vases closely copy Merian’s botanical studies (see William Motley, Think Pink, Cohen & Cohen, Reigate, 2013, page 60 for a discussion of these designs).The vases were made in two styles: tall and slim (as in the present lot), or shorter and broader. Motley states that there are three known designs, which he calls ‘dewbury’, ‘fritillary’, and ‘redcurrant’, after the botanical specimens they represent. Due to the small output of porcelain designed by Pronk, the few vases that have survived are highly prized, and meticulously decorated examples such as the present lot are rare.Literature comparison: A three-piece garniture, of the shorter variety, and with the ‘redcurrant’ design, is in the Östiatiska Museet, Stockholm, illustrated by Jan Wirgin, Fran Kina till Europa, Stockholm, 1998, p. 175, no. 189.

Colonial School. Mexico. 18th century. "Egyptian Sybil" Oil on canvas. 64 x 49 cm. Depictions of sybils spread widely throughout New Spain between the 17th and 18th centuries. There is a complete series at the Museo Nacional del Virreinato de Mexico as well as at the church of Saint Peter González Telmo in Buenos Aires. The aesthetic of the indigenous world in Latin America was applied to the European prints of sybils and the result was far more colourist paintings, with the sybils wearing traditional Mexican dress and wearing local jewels, as in this case in which the sybil wears a coral necklace.

Mexican School. 19th century. Period: 1846 - 1864. Interesting featherwork depicting the emblem of the coat of arms of Mexico which, alongside the flag and the national anthem, is one of the patriotic symbols enshrined in the law. It is interesting as the work was made after Mexico achieved Independence from Spain, declared on the 27th September 1821. The featherwork depicts an eagle with a snake perched on a cactus, and underneath is the Mexican flag. The coat of arms has been slightly modified, and the design we see here dates from the period in which the federalists returned and changed the eagle once again, between 1846 and 1864. 28 x 21,5 cm. When they arrived in Mexico, the Spanish were impressed with the importance the people there gave to the use of feathers. Hernán Cortés, in 1519, sent feathered fans, helmets and shields to Spain. In 1524 he sent a present of a work of art made using featherwork to King Charles V, and later, in 1527, Cortés sent 38 featherwork pieces to Asia. Evangelisation changed the subject matter of the art, and the “amantecas” (artists who worked with feathers) began to use this stunning technique to create religious images, many of which were sent to Europe and Asia. Various examples were sent to different popes in Rome, who in turn gave them as presents to the nobility. This is the reason why some of these featherwork pieces can be found in important European museums. One of the oldest pieces of featherwork art with a Christian theme is the “Mass of Saint Gregory,” made in 1539 as a gift for Pope Paul II, and which is kept in the Musée des Jacobins de Auch, in France. Another important piece, made by Juan Correa in the 19th century, “Saint Luke painting the Virgin”, can be found in the Musée de l’Homme in Paris. Furthermore, a few other examples have been preserved, the most noteworthy of which include those at the Archbishopric of Puebla, the Franz Mayer Museum, the Museo de América in Madrid, the Tepozotian Museum, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, and the Museo Nacional de Colombia in Bogota. The Museo de América in Madrid has thirteen examples of this marvellous featherwork art in its collections. To highlight the symbology and what they represented, there is no better guide than to quote what is said in the technical records of some of these pieces, in which they state: “Feathers in the pre-hispanic world were directly linked to sacred symbology and with the prestige of those who were permitted to wear them. Quetzalcoatl, the great god who civilised the nahuatl culture, was the mythical master of the amantecas, the artists who congregated especially in the Amantla area of Mexico-Tenochtitlan and who worked with a wide variety of precious feathers. The understanding that the feather was an element of strong symbolic and religious content encouraged the Spanish missionaries to incorporate the expert amantecas within the convent schools, where, alongside the tlacuilos (painters) they learned to interpret European visual representations, and make subtle vestments for the priests of the new religion, and embellish many liturgical and devotional objects with the inclusion of the feather. They began production of small pictures which used Christian narratives as their subject matter, which they learnt about from the friars through the paintings and prints that they selected as models.” Reference bibliography: Alessandra Russo, Gerhard Wolf and Diana Fane, "Images Take Flight.
