SS PRESENTATION FLOWER VASE An unusual SS presentation piece, a theater-made and engraved flower vase. The sturdily-constructed aluminum vase stands 11 in. tall and is approx. 10.5 in. wide at its widest point. The mouth at top is decorated with a bronze twisted rope decoration, and the front of the vase has a copper branch of holly leaves and berries attached to it by way of two rivets. The reverse of the piece bears a period engraving (in German): '28-2-1944 THE STAFF OF THE SS AND POLICE LEADER UPPER ITALY WEST UPON THE SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY'. The vase is Italian in style and was certainly made in-theater. It was undoubtedly presented to a leading military officer or perhaps a senior local administrator. The most likely candidate would be SS-Brigadefuhrer and Generalmajor of Police WILLY TENSFELD (1893-1982) who commanded the district and would be later tried for the murders of Italian partisans and a British POW. Some tarnish and surface corrosion easily cleaned-up.
Italian school; 17th century."Still life".Oil on canvas. Re-drawn.Size: 100 x 75 cm (x2)Couple of still lifes that present the same format and similar composition, although they differ in the elements that conform each one of the scenes. However, the birds are the protagonists in both works, being arranged by the author in the upper area, hanging recumbent on a neutral background which gives a greater monumentality to their volumes. In both cases the artist structures one upper and one lower register, although it is true that in one of the images the two overlap, as we can see a vase with completely vertical flowers, which merge with a group of small birds. In the other image, the artist has a large horizontal board in the lower part of the picture that cuts diagonally to the right with the intention of creating a three-dimensional space in the image.Both pieces stand out for their sobriety both in the dark chromatic range and in the compositions. Furthermore, aesthetically the work follows the Baroque precepts of the Baroque, a period in which the genre was revitalised, especially in certain areas such as the Low Countries, where an incipient bourgeoisie was beginning to demand this genre. Furthermore, the interest of the time in painting that captured reality encouraged the development of this type of image.
