(113 3/8 x 18 3/4in.);Antonina sheet 2607 x 470mm. 102 5/8 x 18 1/2in.) (2)Footnotes:Piranesi arrived in Rome in 1740 and after studying etching and engraving with Giuseppe Vasi and Carlo Zucchi, he became one of the most sought-after artists to commission for views of the city. As the son of a stone mason and as a trained architect himself, Piranesi was in an excellent position to appreciate and convey the majesty of these columns.These two imposing plates were produced for the series ​Trofeo o sia Magnifica Colonna Coclide, depicting the colossal relief columns of Rome: the columns of Trajan, Antonine (of Marcus Aurelius) and Antoninus and Faustina.Trajan's Column is the last remaining intact monument in the Trajan Forum in Rome, completed in 113 AD. It is celebrated for its spiral bas-relief sculptures which commemorate the emperor's victory in the Dacian Wars (Romania). After his death, Trajan's ashes were interred in the pedestal. There was originally a statue of Trajan on top but this was replaced by a statue of St Peter.The Antonine Column was commissioned by Marcus Aurelius's son Commodus to commemorate his father's triumph over the Germanic Marcomanni tribe in 176 AD and has a similar bas-relief decoration. It was erected in the Piazza Colonna in 193 AD and was originally topped with a statue of Marcus Aurelius, which was replaced with a statue of St Paul.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Grand triptyque présentant des poissons fossiles Large Triptych Fossil Fish MuralDiplomystus dentatus, Knightia eocaena, Priscacara serrata, Mioplosus labracoides Lower Eocene (48 Ma)Green River Formation, Wyoming, USAThe Green River Formation, in Utah and Wyoming, is one of the most important fossil sites for understanding the Eocene epoch that began about 55 million years ago. Today it is one of the most abundant and well-preserved sources of freshwater fossils in the world, producing some 19 genera of fish. The present offering was quarried from a rare, dark limestone exclusive to the particular private quarry from which this specimen originates. This dark limestone, found at the bottom of the '18-inch layer' (part of the capping layers), is a harder and more compact limestone so the fossils tend to be more dimensional and better preserved. The three separate fossil fish murals which form the triptych contain a variety of large and small fossils. They include: five Diplomystus dentatus in sizes up to 42 cm; a 32 cm Mioplosus labracoides; three Priscacara serrata in sizes up to 20 cm; and ten Knightia eocaena, in sizes up to 16.5 cm. The stone contains other trace fossils. The stone slabs have been affixed to a wood backing, with finished and beveled edges. Each of the three sections has a two-part aluminum, French cleat on the back for ease of hanging. Each panel weighing 68 lbs. Each panel measuring 120 x 60 cm. When displayed together, the three panels measuring overall: 120 x 181 x 3.5 cm (3) Grand triptyque présentant des poissons fossiles Diplomystus dentatus, Knightia eocaena, Priscacara serrata, Mioplosus labracoidesÉocène inférieur (48 millions d'années)Formation de Green River, Wyoming, USALa formation de Green River, dans l'Utah et le Wyoming, est l'un des sites fossilifères les plus importants pour comprendre l'époque éocène qui a commencé il y a environ 55 millions d'années. C'est aujourd'hui l'une des sources de fossiles d'eau douce les plus abondantes et les mieux préservées au monde, avec quelques 19 genres de poissons.Le présent spécimen a été extrait d'un calcaire foncé rare, exclusif à la carrière privée d'où il provient. Ce calcaire foncé, que l'on trouve au fond de la 'couche de 18 pouces' (partie des couches de recouvrement), est un calcaire plus dur et plus compact, de sorte que les fossiles ont tendance à être plus dimensionnels et mieux préservés.Les trois peintures murales distinctes de poissons fossiles qui forment le triptyque contiennent une variété de fossiles grands et petits. Parmi eux, cinq Diplomystus dentatus mesurant jusqu'à 42 cm, un Mioplosus labracoides de 32 cm, trois Priscacara serrata mesurant jusqu'à 20 cm et dix Knightia eocaena mesurant jusqu'à 16.5 cm. La pierre contient d'autres traces de fossiles. Les dalles ont été fixées sur un support en bois, avec des bords finis et biseautés. Chacune des trois sections est dotée d'un taquet français en aluminium en deux parties à l'arrière pour faciliter la suspension. Chaque panneau pèse 20 kg et mesure 120 x 60 cm.

Plaque fossile présentant une raie et des poissons Fossil Stingray with FishHeliobatus radians Lower EoceneGreen River Formation, Wyoming, USAA superbly prepared example of a highly rare fossil from one of the premier localities in the world, with a wingspan measuring 21.5 cm across, and 38 cm from tip to tail on an irregularly shaped natural limestone matrix. The preservation is excellent as evidenced by the presence of the many delicate wing bones and tiny vertebrae. Even one of the stingers is present towards the tip of the tail. Also present are two Knightia species as well as a 12.7 cm Diplomystus dentatus. The stone is from the '18-inch' layer of the Green River Formation and it contains unique textures and colors. The bright orange color is natural and is caused by iron oxides in the stone. Stingrays are among the rarest species to be found in the Green River Formation in Wyoming. They are a cartilaginous fish, a characteristic highly antipathetic to fossilization. The 'wings' of the ray present one of the greatest challenges to the excavator, having the thickness of only two sheets of paper. The preparator's skill is likewise keenly tested in its presentation, and the fine detail of the present example is testament to his years of experience. The fossil plaque has a two-part aluminum French cleat mounted on the verso for ease of hanging. Measuring 87 x 63.5 x 3 cmPlaque fossile présentant une raie et des poissons Heliobatus radiansÉocène inférieurFormation de Green River, Wyoming, USAIl s'agit d'un exemple superbement préparé d'un fossile très rare provenant de l'une des premières localités du monde, avec une envergure d'aile mesurant 21.5 cm de diamètre, et 38 cm de la pointe à la queue sur une matrice calcaire naturelle de forme irrégulière. La préservation est excellente, comme en témoigne la présence de nombreux os d'ailes délicats et de minuscules vertèbres. Même l'un des aiguillons est présent vers l'extrémité de la queue. Sont également présentes deux espèces de Knightia ainsi qu'un Diplomystus dentatus de 12.7 cm. La pierre provient de la couche '18 pouces' de la formation Green River et elle présente des textures et des couleurs uniques. La couleur orange vif est naturelle et est due aux oxydes de fer présents dans la pierre.Les raies font partie des espèces les plus rares que l'on trouve dans la formation Green River du Wyoming. C'est un poisson cartilagineux, une caractéristique hautement antipathique à la fossilisation. Les 'ailes' de la raie présentent l'un des plus grands défis pour l'excavateur, ayant l'épaisseur de seulement deux feuilles de papier. L'habileté du préparateur est également mise à l'épreuve dans sa présentation, et la finesse des détails du présent exemple témoigne de ses années d'expérience. La plaque fossile est dotée d'un taquet français en aluminium en deux parties monté au verso pour faciliter la suspension. 87 x 63.5 x 3 cm This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a reduced rate of 5.5% on the hammer price and the prevailing rate on buyer's premium if the item remains in EU.
