A PAIR OF FLEMISH WHITE MARBLE FIGURES ALLEGORICAL OF SPRING AND AUTUMN 18TH CENTURY He carrying grapes, a wine flask by his feet, she with a long swag of flowers approximately 89cm high, bases 27 by 27.5cmThe symbolism of these figures is similar to the work of the Roman Baroque sculptor Camillo Rusconi- notably evident in his set of four putti emblematic of The Seasons in the Royal Collection (The Four Seasons RCIN 71426, 71427, 71424 and 71425).
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.
