Fragment of a finely carved bas-relief of Pharaoh Thutmose III. Egypt, New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty.Limestone.Conservation: slight wear and tear due to age.Provenance: acquired in a private collection in New York in 1960, and later in a private Spanish collection A.B. before 1985.Measurements: 15 x 12 x 2,5 cm.Fragment of Egyptian relief carved with fine incision in limestone. It depicts a figure whose clothing and attributes identify him as Thutmose III. After a more archaic phase, in which the reliefs were a simple drawing engraved with deep incision on the stone, came a more elaborate phase, in which the figure is delicately modelled and does not protrude from the surface of the stone. In a third phase, the figure is finely modelled and rises slightly above the background, which has been lowered around it. The relief fragment shown here belongs to this third period. Bas-relief was much more common than high relief in Egyptian relief. Usually, the lower limbs and feet were depicted in profile and the shoulders from the front. The size of the figures corresponds to the social rank and importance of the personage: huge for the Pharaoh, the smallest for slaves, followed by artisans, peasants and soldiers. As for the subject matter, they could be genre scenes and customs that accompanied the tombs of the deceased, showing the chores of daily life.

His tower was the third on the treacherous Eddystone reef, 14 miles off the Plymouth coast. The two earlier timber structures, by Winstanley and Rudyard, had both been destroyed.

Canova (Antonio, Italian sculptor, 1757-1822) Pass to study at Musei Pontifici, "The Director of the Capitoline Museum permits the Mr John Davis to do studies in the stated museum",1 ff. printed text with manuscript insertions on laid paper, official stamp, signed by Canova, 22 January, 1822.⁂ Autograph signature of the famed sculpture Antonio Canova in his capacity as "L'Ispettore Generale delle Antichita Musei etc", signed with the artist's usual flamboyant flourish. In 1802 Pope Pius VII bestowed on Antonio Canova, by then the most celebrated artist in Europe, the title of "Inspector-General of Antiquities and Fine Art to the Papal State" (a position which had once been held by Raphael). In 1819, the year this document was signed, Canova laid the foundation stone to the Tempio Canoviano, the church which he himself had designed for Possagno (the town of his birth). The document here is one of the official permits which Canova was obliged to issue to Grand Tourists, allowing them entry to study in the Vatican Museums.
