Attributed to ULPIANO CHECA Y SANZ (Colmenar de Oreja, Madrid, 1860 - Dax, France, 1916)."Justice".Oil on canvas. Relined.It presents faults in the polychrome, restorations and repins.Measurements: 88 x 65,5 cm.Allegory of justice in which the author presents us with a young woman dressed in a white tunic in the Roman way and Phrygian cap. In her right hand she holds the scales, while with the other she grasps a dagger. The highly symbolic scene is completed with a sumptuous interior on whose floor is a flag similar to that of the republic, and a wallpaper that decorates the room with numerous noble coats of arms.Ulpiano Checa began his artistic training in 1873, at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid. In 1876 he went to the San Fernando Academy, where he became a disciple of Federico de Madrazo. When he finished, in 1884, he obtained a pension to study at the Spanish Academy in Rome. During his third year he sends a work that will earn him the first medal at the National Exhibition of 1887, and second at the Universal Exhibition of Vienna in 1888. At the end of 1887 he took up residence in Paris, where he exhibited regularly in the Salons, achieving success when his work was awarded a prize in 1890. There he combines painting with his work as a graphic correspondent in "La Ilustración Española y Americana". At the beginning of the century he settled in the south of France, in Dax, where he remained until his death in 1916. It is important to highlight how Checa's work influenced the adventure films of Hollywood in the 50s and 60s. Film directors such as Stanley Kubrick ("Spartacus"), Mario Bonnard ("The Last Days of Pompeii"), Mervyn LeRoy ("Quo Vadis"), William Wyler ("Ben-Hur") or, more recently, Ridley Scott ("Gladiator") were inspired by his works for their scenery, costumes, study of mass movements and characterization of characters. In fact, he also influenced earlier filmmakers, since in the 1930s and 1940s his work showed directors the possibility of creating visual effects of depth and perspective unusual in cinema until then. During his lifetime, in 1901, he collaborated with Henry Sienkiewick on the set and costume design for the theatrical version of the novel "Quo Vadis". In fact, part of Checa's work is based on literature, especially this novel, "Ben-Hur" and "Les Miserables". Works by Ulpiano Checa are kept in the Museo Municipal Ulpiano Checa de Colmenar de Oreja, the Museo del Prado, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Buenos Aires and the Museo de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, among others.

RAF Brass, 360 degree, circular Protractor with crossbar, a scientific drawing instrument in its original green felt lined mahogany box, both the mahogany box and brass protractor made for the Royal Air Force by A. West & Partners, 91 York Street, Westminster, central London, England, circa 1940. This is a circular lacquered brass protractor in its fitted green baize lined mahogany carrying case with hinged mahogany cover having breadboard ends to prevent warping of the wood. (At one time there were at least three mahogany block screwed or nailed into the green baize wooden box to secure the protractor in place when it was being transported. The markings for that are quite clear.) The box contains this scientific drawing instrument, a 23 cm diameter (9.2â€) circle of brass containing a full 360 degrees, marked in 10 degree intervals twice and divided into half degree measurements. The brass cross bar is marked indicating it was made for use by the Main Drawing Office of the Royal Air Force by A. West & Partners Ltd., 91 York Street, Westminster (London, England). The ends of the circle as well as one side of the crossbar is beveled down to fit easily against the map or chart one is examining. There are two rows of degree measurements, the outer row contains the full 360 degrees demarcated in 10 degree intervals while the inner scale contains four individual quadrant measurement from 0-90 degrees also in 10 degree pieces and divided on the outermost edge into half degree sections, serving both measurement scales. {Such instruments were made in this form back into the Victorian era of the 19th century, and this instrument could have been made by A. West & Partners earlier in the 20th century and repurposed for the RAF during WWII.} It is a navigational protractor lacking the four cardinal points shown, a 0 - 360 degree scale, and four 0 - 90 degree scales in the quadrants. In the Air Force this instrument would aid in navigation: To lay out a course or bearing; To read off a course or bearing; To determine angle or direction between two points on a map; To find magnetic course or bearing from True; To fix positions by angle; To plot lines of position, and many other aeronautical functions. Condition: Appears to be in fine condition with most of its lacquer intact, some patchy darkening of the patina of the brass and few scratches. The box is in good condition, missing some of the wooden holding pieces for the instrument and the green felt lining disrupted in many areas, especially at the edges. c. C. 1940
