A GOOD PAIR OF ITALIAN GRAND TOUR ALABASTER VOLUTE KRATERS EARLY 19TH CENTURY 67cm high, 30cm wide across the handles, bases 19cm square These rare vases derive their shape from the Greek volute Kraters used as mixing vases for water and wine. The earliest date from around 600 B.C and were traditionally made in terracotta and then painted with scenes of feasting, mythological events, and allegorical vignettes. By the Roman times, craftsmen utilised the shape but in marble and semi-precious hardstones with relief carved scenes. Excavations in the late 18th century and early 19th century had brought rediscovery of these Roman vases to the attention and delight of collectors and travellers on the Grand Tour: Most notable were the krater with dancing figures in the Borghese collection, the Townley Vase, and the Sosibios Vase- the inspiration for Keats in his Ode to A Grecian Urn : O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede Of marble men and maidens overwrought.... When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,-that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." In this pair of vases the craftsmen has chosen to cherish for posterity the colour and beauty of the stone itself, with carved further embellishment deemed unnecessary. Comparison with the Faustino Corsi collection at Oxford would suggest that the stone is close to what Corsi called Alabastro di Palombara but with inclusion of further richer reds of iron oxides. Condition Report: Mild wear, marks, knocks and scratches as per age, handling, use, and cleaning.

Lot 393
ROMAN SCHOOL (LATE 18TH CENTURY) DRAWING OF A ROMAN CINERARY URN IN ORIENTAL ALABASTER, KNOWN AS THE URN OF LIVILLA Watercolour, pencil, and ink Inscribed 'English fecit for the vase' (lower right); further extensively inscribed (lower centre) 91 x 56.5cm (35¾ x 22 in.)Provenance: Mr. R. Doughty, Leominster, United KingdomThe ancient Roman urn of Livilla was discovered in 1777 in the remains of the Mausoleum of Augustus and takes its name from six travertine funerary cippi - the fragments of which are reproduced in the lower section of the present sheet - each bearing the name of a member of the Imperial family, and the nearest to the urn was that of Julia Livilla (c. 18-41 A.D.). She was the sister of Caligula, daughter of Germanicus and great-granddaughter of Augustus. Given the prominent location where the urn was found, its imposing size and exquisite material, it is possible that it did once contain Livilla's ashes, or those of another member of the imperial family. The urn is in the Vatican Museums and is most probably carved of Alabastro di Palombara, often referred to as Oriental, or Egyptian, alabaster. The lustrous patterns and changing hues of the alabaster's rings and veining have been so meticulously recorded , that it was most likely made in Rome, in the presence of the object. The inscription and scale in English indicates that it was made for a British audience, likely a Grand Tourist visiting the Eternal City. The art historian Professor Cinzia Sicca has suggested that given the date of the excavation of the Urn of Livilla and its presence in Rome, our sheet could have been commissioned by an agent such as the prominent antiquary Thomas Jenkins (c. 1722-1798), who employed draughtsmen including Claude François Nicole (c. 1700-1783), Nicolas Mosman (1727-1787) or Friedrich Anders (born c. 1734), all of whom specialised in drawings recording antiquities. Professor Sicca has also suggested that the present work may have served as the model for two drawings of the Urn of Livilla in the collection of the London Society of Antiquaries and perhaps the former was owned by a member of the Society, who offered to have it studied and copied. It is interesting to note that, like the present watercolour, the drawing in the Society of Antiquaries (Classical Antiquities Album 10) illustrates the alabaster urn without any cracks on its surface, nor the inscription added at the behest of pope Pius VI at its base, characteristics that reinforce the potential connection between the two drawings. Condition Report: There is a horizontal folding crease running along the centre of the sheet. Various repaired tears to the edges of the sheet, together with some further creasing. Some spots of discolouration scattered throughout. Under glass, unexamined out of frame.Condition Report Disclaimer
