Harry Clarke RHA (1889 - 1931) The Magic Glasses c.1927-9 Pencil and watercolour, 23 x 7.5cm (9 x 3") Harry Clarke’s Geneva Window, created for the International Labour Organization and completed in 1930, was a triumph of Clarke’s artistry, skill and imagination – but also a personal tragedy for him as it was never installed. The rectangular window comprises Clarke’s interpretations of fifteen of his favourite excerpts by contemporary Irish writers.[1]This preliminary design is inspired by George Fitzmaurice’s The Magic Glasses, a short one-act play which had been produced at The Abbey Theatre in 1913, a production Clarke most likely would have seen, not only because he was an avid theatre goer but also because the producer was his close friend, Lennox Robinson. The watercolour, in pinks/reds and blues, is a tell-tale indication that Clarke planned to make this panel – like the other panels for the Geneva Window that comprise it – from two pieces of flashed glass, one of ruby glass, one of blue glass, which when ‘acided’ and plated (carefully registered together), would create myriad shades of purples and violets, and with judicious additional application of silver stain would add hues of yellow and green.The title of the play is derived from three sets of glasses which Shanahan received from a mysterious woman (‘It’s the pleasure and diversion of the world you’ll hear and see in them magic glasses’); each set is coloured differently and came with their own properties. Clarke decided to feature the red glasses which show nubile naked females: ‘the purtiest women was ever seen on the globe’.As with all preliminary iterations, it is interesting to note what Clarke originally had in mind, and what evolved when the panel was made. In the sketch, the principal figure, curly-haired, angelic Jamoney Shanahan appears mildly inebriated and distracted as he allows his champagne glass gently slip within his slim fingers, whereas in the panel as executed, Shanahan, is rougher-looking, hands planted firmly in pockets, and depicted with his eyes rolling about, drunk and possibly delirious. The sketch design features a total of eighteen naked females, some frolicking in glasses of champagne, some with wild unkempt hair, and one stretching to whisper enticements in his ear – decorous nymphs, they are not. One can see from this sketch and the panel as executed, along with some of the other vignettes in the Geneva Window, how the Irish government of the day became uneasy about Clarke’s selection of texts and even more so his daring treatment of imagery.Dr David Caron, November 2023[1] See Bowe, Nicola Gordon, Harry Clarke – The Life and Work (1989); also, Kennedy, Róisín, ‘The Geneva Window’ in Harry Clarke and Artistic Visions of the New State (eds A. Griffith, M. Helmers, R. Kennedy (2019)

Lot 658

An early 19th century Italian silver-gilt mounted and micromosaic boxmark to interior partially visible DP, probably for Domenico Piazzoli (FL. 1804 - 1827), Rome, circa 1820Rectangular red marble box with silver-gilt mounts, the hinged cover set with rectangular micromosaic panel depicting the Pantheon within a silver-gilt frame, length 8cm x 6cm x 1.9cm.Footnotes:The Pantheon, dedicated to all Roman gods and perhaps one of the best preserved examples of antique Roman architecture was built by the Emperor Hadrian over the ruins of another temple around 125AD. However, although it was converted to a Christian church as early as 609AD, by this time almost all of the marble and metal fittings and statues had been looted from its interior. The plundering of the both internal and external fixtures and fittings continued with the Emperor Constans II (r. 641-668AD) who also removed the bronze dome and then finally with Pope Urban VIII who pulled out many tons of bronze portico beams which were used for St. Peter's Baldacchino and also for new cannons for the Castel Sant'Angelo.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Boerschmann's journey began in 1906 with financial support from the German Empire and lasted until the outbreak of World War I in 1914, when he served as a scientific advisor to the German Foreign Office. His expeditions yielded valuable material, and in 1912 his photographic work was featured in a major exhibition at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin. After World War I, he shared his knowledge of Chinese architecture in lectures in Königsberg and other German cities. As of 1927 he was a professor at the Technical University in Berlin. His publications, including "Baukunst und Landschaft", "Picturesque China" and "Chinesische Architektur" in the 1920s, brought him much international recognition.

The collection presents many ancient Chinese temples, some of which no longer exist or were ruinous at the time. Boerschmann's interest in valuable carved architectural details is also documented in many photographs, as are some picturesque villages and landscapes.
