Lot 59
A very rare Meissen bust of Emperor Charles V from the series of Habsburg rulers, circa 1744Modelled by J.J. Kaendler and probably P. Reinicke, in the white, with his head turned to his left, wearing armour and the Order of the Golden Fleece and a laurel wreath, on a canted rectangular base, cold-painted inventory number '3o6.' in black on base, 29cm high (strengthened firing cracks)Footnotes:Provenance:Felix Lechner Collection, Prague, by 1929Literature:Felix Lechner, Raritäten und Kuriositäten aus Privatsammlungen, in Der Kunstwanderer, March 1929, ill. 4, p. 309;Rudolf Just, Die Kaiserbüsten von Kändler, in Mitteilungsblatt der Keramikfreunde der Schweiz, 42 (1958), p. 16;Johanna Lessmann, Meissen Porcelain for the Imperial Household in Vienna, in M. Cassidy-Geiger (ed.), Fragile Diplomacy (2007), p. 128 (as 'Missing')For a detailed discussion of the Meissen busts of Habsburg rulers to which the present lot belongs, see Johanna Lessmann (Literature above), pp. 119-134. The author notes (p. 119) that the series depicts Habsburg rulers rather than busts of emperors and that it is intended as a monument to the dynasty and its rise to imperial rank. The series depicts seventeen Habsburg kings and emperors, from Rudolf I (r. 1273-91) to Charles VI (r. 1711-40), and was commissioned in 1744 by another member of the dynasty, the Electress of Saxony and Queen of Poland, Maria Josepha. It is not known whether the commission was intended for the court in Vienna, though it may have followed on from a visit to the Meissen manufactory on 4th March 1744 by the Empress Maria Theresia's sister, Archduchess Maria Anna, and her husband, Karl Alexander of Lorraine (work on the busts began the following month). Another reason for the commission may have been to cement the improving political relations between the Saxon/Polish and Austrian courts. It is not known whether the a set of busts was ever sent to the court in Vienna, though important noble families allied to the Habsburgs are known to have owned busts. For example, the princes Liechtenstein, in whose Vienna palace twenty-one Meissen busts were recorded in a late 18th century inventory; and the counts Waldstein, who owned twenty-two busts (including some duplicates) until 1945. Lessmann suggests that these families may have received the busts to remind them of Saxony/Poland's renewed support for Austria during the Second Silesian War (p. 124).Nine of the seventeen busts are mentioned in the Meissen work reports, including the present lot, which is in Kaendler's work notes (Arbeitsberichte) in August 1744: 'Den Kayser Carolum quintum in Brust Stück Corrigiret und in tüchtigen stand gesetzet' [Emperor Charles V in breast plate corrected and brought to a good state]. It is likely that the model was one of two busts started by Peter Reinicke in April that are mentioned but not named in his work notes (quoted by Lessmann, pp. 120 and 128). The pedestal of Charles V differs from most of the busts, which have a higher, titled pedestal with a moulded shield that was modelled by J.G. Ehder in April 1745. The modification may have been due to firing flaws, to which most of the busts are prone and which reflect the technical difficulties of firing such large busts. Only one other example of this bust (in a private collection) - is recorded: formerly in the historic collection of twenty-two busts owned by the Waldstein family that remained in Duchov (Dux) castle in Bohemia until 1945; it was sold at auction in 1949 to O.M. Réhàk; in 1952 it was purchased by Dr. Erich Springer (1908-1994) of Rumburk in western Czechoslovakia; and it was sold at Kunstauktionen Dr. Fischer, Heilbronn, sale 154 (2005), lot 181 (illustrated by Lessmann, p. 128).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
