On the Treaty of Vienna '...we cannot be excluded from the navigation of the Rhine...' WELLINGTON DUKE OF: (1769-1852) Anglo-Irish Field Marshal & British Prime Minister 1828-30, 1834. An excellent, long A.L.S., Wellington, seven pages, 4to, Stratfield Saye, 8th April 1828, to Mr. Grant, marked Confidential. Wellington states that he had wanted to consult the Treaty of Vienna before replying to his correspondent, but does not have a copy of it at Stratfield Saye, and therefore writes from his memory only, ‘As well as I can recollect the words and spirit of the Treaty of Vienna the King of the Netherlands has no right any more than the King of Prussia, or any other Sovereign on the banks of the Rhine to…[prevent]…foreign built vessels or foreigners from navigating that River’ and further writing ‘I don’t believe the King of the Netherlands and all the Sovereigns on the Rhine have a right to lay a particular duty upon any particular commodity for its passage up or down the River, or its transit through their respective territories…’ although advising ‘This is as well as I recollect the spirit as well as the letter of the Treaty. But upon this point you had better consult somebody more capable of giving an opinion than I can be; such as….the Lord Chancellor’. Wellington further adds ‘I don’t know whether you have read the papers which you have sent to me; but I confess that I cannot find any objection on the part of the Prussian Govt…on the contrary I should say that the two parties had now agreed upon every point; and that the King of the Netherlands had now a right to claim the cooperation and support of the King of Prussia in the commission…However I may be mistaken’ and continues ‘This question of the navigation of the Rhine is a very delicate one. The King of the Netherlands is very sore about it; and I know that the Emperor of Russia is disposed to favour…the strict performance of the conditions imposed upon him by the Treaty of Vienna; and I believe this to be the reason why the King of Prussia appears to be so little difficult’. Wellington remarks that Baron Bulow should come to them confidentially, explaining ‘The first thing for us to do is to be quite certain that we are right; and that we cannot be excluded from the navigation of the Rhine. Let us then look at the whole of the proposed regulations; and see which are inconsistent with the principles of the Treaty; and are important to us. Having this information we shall know what our case is; and shall be better able to judge than I am at present what we ought to do’, further offering advise to his correspondent on what to tell Bulow and concluding ‘I have no objection to the employment of Mr. Addington in a more advanced state of this business. But whatever we may do at the Court of the Netherlands should be through the Ambassador’. A letter of fine content. The final page is lightly mounted at the head to a page removed from an album. Some light age wear and a couple of very neat splits at a few folds, not affecting the text or signature. About VG The Congress of Vienna was a conference of ambassadors of European states chaired by held in Vienna from September 1814 to June 1815. The objective of the Congress was to provide a long-term peace for Europe by settling critical issues arising from the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. The goal was not simply to restore old boundaries, but to resize the main powers so they could balance each other off and remain at peace. France lost all its recent conquests, while Prussia, Austria and Russia made major territorial gains. Prussia added smaller German states in the west, Austria gained Venice and much of northern Italy. Russia gained parts of Poland. The new kingdom of the Netherlands had been created just months before, and included formerly Austrian territory that in 1830 became Belgium. One of the main provisions in the final act was the freedom of navigation being guaranteed for many rivers,notably t

Rainer Fetting 1949 Wilhelmshaven - lebt und arbeitet in Berlin und New YorkMann und Axt IX. 1980.Acryl und Rohpigment auf Leinwand. Verso auf der Leinwand signiert, datiert und betitelt. 220 x 160 cm (86,6 x 62,9 in). [CB].PROVENIENZ: Mary Boone Gallery, New York (verso mit dem Etikett, wohl 1981).Dorsky Galleries Ltd., New York (verso mit dem Etikett, wohl 1990).Christie`s, New York, Auktion am 13. November 1998, Lot 152. Rainer Fetting studiert 1972-1978 an der Hochschule der Künste in Berlin und gründet noch als Meisterschüler zusammen mit Helmut Middendorf, Salomé und Bernd Zimmer die Galerie am Moritzplatz. Er gilt als einer der Hauptvertreter der `Jungen Wilden`. Deutlich sind seine Arbeiten von der Rückbesinnung auf expressionistische figurative Malerei, die Vorliebe für Farbe als Ausdrucksmittel und die Reduzierung der Gegenstände, die durch Malgestik ersetzt werden, geprägt.1978 geht Fetting nach New York, um neue künstlerische Wege zu beschreiten. Dort findet er sowohl neue Motive als auch das für ihn so bezeichnende Licht und die urbane expressive Stimmung, die sich in seinen farbintensiven Arbeiten widerspiegeln. In den folgenden Jahren thematisiert Fetting eine Art großstädtischer Subkultur und stellt u.a. Obdachlose und meist dunkelhäutige Männer dar. Fettings isolierte Akte jener Zeit scheinen zu eindrucksvollen Sinnbildern von Einsamkeit und Schönheit gesteigert.1981 nimmt Fetting an der von Christos M. Joachimides in der Royal Academy of Arts zusammengestellten Ausstellung `A New Spirit in Painting` teil. Es folgen in fast jährlichem Abstand Einzelausstellungen in zahlreichen Galerien in Europa und Amerika. Ab 1984 schafft Fetting Arbeiten, in denen er Treibholz auf Leinwand montiert, übermalt und in die Bildkomposition integriert. Erste Bronzearbeiten entstehen in der zweiten Hälfte der 1980er Jahre, u.a. die Bronzeskulptur `Willy Brandt` für die SPD-Parteizentrale in Bonn, jetzt in Berlin. Die Arbeiten der jüngeren Zeit widmen sich vermehrt der Metropole New York, in denen der Künstler die dunklen Randzonen der Großstadt thematisiert.Rainer Fetting gehört zu den Protagonisten einer Malerei, die Anfang der 1980er Jahre in der Hinwendung zur Gegenständlichkeit, zu kräftiger Farbigkeit und heftigem Pinselduktus europaweit, vor allem aber in Italien und Deutschland als Phänomen zu beobachten ist. ca. 12.06 h +/- 20 Min.ENGLISH VERSIONRainer Fetting 1949 Wilhelmshaven - lebt und arbeitet in Berlin und New YorkMann und Axt IX. 1980.Acrylic and raw pigment on canvas.
