After Benvenuto Cellini (Florence, 1500-1571), an Italian patinated bronze model of Perseus and Medusa, second half 19th century, the hero portrayed standing contrapposto, heroically nude for winged sandals and a sash to his chest inscribed BENVENUTUS CELLINI FECIT, standing triumphantly above the slain figure of Medusa, and raising her decapitated head with his left hand, on rectangular figural plinth, 98cm high Cellini's vivid contribution to the Loggia dei Lanzi on Florence's Piazza della Signoria is a tour de force of mid-16th century mannerism. Commissioned by Duke Cosimo I de' Medici and unveiled in 1554, the sculpture joined other depictions of other historic heroes on the Piazza, including the famous David by Michelangelo, Hercules and Cacus by Baccio Bandinelli and the earlier Judith and Holofernes by Donatello. The bronze showcases the many new ways in which mannerist sculptors were pushing the boundaries of the body. The decapitated figure of Medusa for instance is folded up in an unlikely pose, and is an example of what critics would come to refer to as a 'figura sforzata' or 'forced figure'. This iconic sculpture was much admired by Grand Tourists, and many 19th century souvenir casts of the work survive. Prince Albert for example acquired a full-size copy of the bronze by Clemente Capi at the Great Exhibition in 1855, which is now in the Royal Collection. The incorporation of Cellini's figural plinth in slightly smaller models, such as this one, is quite rare.Cf Sotheby's Paris, 29 April 2004, lot 160

Antique Russian Icon. "The Great Mrtyr George the Victory Bearer". Oil on wood. Size: 12.5 x 10 inches. Saint George is shown as a mounted soldier who strikes at a dragon with his lance as the Princess Elisava kneels in fear (at left). The very melodramatic pose of the Princess shows a strong influence of the West on art of this period. According to tradition, George came to Silene in the province of Libya, where a ravaging dragon demanded daily sacrifice. Fate chose the king?s daughter but George subdued the beast as Princess Elisava stood watching. George told the princess to fasten her sash to the dragon?s neck so that it could be led through the town for the conversion of the people. After this, the dragon would then be killed.

Alexandre Varille was from a cultured family from Lyon. While he studied Economics, he met Victor Loret, his Egyptology professor at the University of Lyon, and followed him in his devotion to Egyptian philology and archaeology. Varille began working in Egypt in 1931 together with his colleague Clément Robichon (1906-1999), and the following year he was made a member of the Institute Français d'Archéologie Orientale in Cairo. In 1939 he excavated the gates of Ptolemy III and Ptolemy IV from the temple of Medamud, now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. He wrote his thesis in Egyptology on an important Egyptian functionary of the New Empire, Inscriptions concernant l'architecte Amenophis, fils de Hapou, published by Jean Vercouter, IFAO, 1968. He dedicated his first publication about Karnak (IFAO, 1942) to Schwaller de Lubicz. He only returned to France for short periods to publish with Clément Robichon the book entitled En Egypte, then published late 1955, in New York. Eternal Egypt was translated from French by Laetitia Gifford. He died in a car accident in France in 1951 just after the presentation of his symbolic theory at the French Institute, section Academy of Sciences.Very fine condition, some restoration.
