Catalogue V Sculpture & Works of Art ONE OF THE LEADING AUCTION HOUSES IN EUROPE CATALOGUE V SCULPTURE & WORKS OF ART AUCTIONS: THURSDAY, 24 & FRIDAY, 25 JUNE 2021 Exhibition: Saturday, 19 June – Tuesday, 22 June 2021 SCULPTURE & WORKS OF ART A127_Zwischentitel.indd 12-13 31.05.21 19:10 SCULPTURE & WORKS OF ART A127_Zwischentitel.indd 12-13 31.05.21 19:10 621 RENAISSANCE-RELIEF MARIA MIT DEM KINDE Stuckrelief, gefasst. 70 x 41 cm. Unten am Nischenrand schwer zu entziffernde Inschrift in Majuskeln. Florenz, 15. Jahrhundert. Stuck gegossen, Reste einer polychromen Fassung. In hochrechteckigem Nischenbildfeld mit Abschluss in Form eines gotischen Bogens, die Halbfigur der Maria ihr Kind auf beiden Armen haltend, während sich das Christuskind mit einer Hand am fein gefälteten Kragen Mariens hält und den Blick in die Ferne schweifen lässt. Beide Häupter sind mit einem sich überschneidenden Nimbus versehen, das Gewand teils in tiefen Falten ausgeschnitten. Wie bei den meisten anderen auf uns gekommenen Stuckreliefs des 15. Jahrhunderts hat die Fassung besonders bei Außenanbringung gelitten. Bei dem hier angebotenen Werk haben wir jedoch das Glück: über großflächige polychrome Reste der ur- sprünglichen Fassung zu verfügen, sodass ein guter und authentischer Eindruck entsteht. Stilistisch steht unser Relief den Werken etwa von Antonio Rosselino (1427-1479/81), Matteo Civitali (1436-1501) und Mino da Fiesole (um 1429-1484) nahe. Es ähnelt die runde Kopfform und die kompositorische Dichte der unsrigen Darstellung. Auch unsere Inschrift am unteren Rand korrespondiert. Der spitzbogige Abschluss lässt eine Datierung sogar in das frühe 15. Jahrhundert und in der Nähe des Donatello denkbar erscheinen. Rest.

  • The Reigning Woman As a Heroic Monarch? Maria Theresa Traced As Sovereign, Wife, and Mother
    The Reigning Woman as a Heroic Monarch? Maria Theresa Traced as Sovereign, Wife, and Mother Anne-Marie Metzger The Empress is one of the most beautiful princesses in Europe: despite all her vigils and puerperia, she has held up very well. When she was younger, she loved hunting, games, and theatre. Today, her only pleasures are governing her empire and the education of her children.1 This quotation from Carl Joseph, Baron of Fürst and Kupferberg, contains essen- tial aspects that can be found very often in representations of Maria Theresa: the dual nature of her representation, namely on one hand the monarch and on the other the mother. Maria Theresa consciously used – among others – these two elements to create her identity. It is interesting to see how contemporaries per- ceived these two contrary public personas and how these personas promoted the adoration of Maria Theresa as an “Austrian heroine”,2 as she was called in a eulo- gy for her husband, Francis Stephen.3 The impact was at any rate so strong that 1 All English translations, unless otherwise indicated, are my own. “Die Kaiserin ist eine der schönsten Prinzessinnen Europas: all ihren Nachtwachen und Wochenbetten zum Trotz hat sie sich sehr gut erhalten. Früher liebte sie Jagd, Spiel und Theater. Das einzige, woran sie jetzt Geschmack findet, ist die Regierung ihres Staates und die Erziehung ihrer Kinder.” Carl Joseph Maximilian Freiherr von Fürst und Kupferberg.

  • Maximilian's Artworlds
    1 | Introduction: Maximilian’s Artworlds illibald Pirckheimer, learned Nuremberg patrician and close friend of Albrecht Dürer, relates the tale of his five-hour crossing of Lake Constance to Lindau with Maximil­ Wian (27–29 July 1499).1 Shortly after a crushing defeat at the hands of “rebellious” Swiss troops at Dorneck during the Swiss Revolt for independence, the emperor determined to dictate the events of his reign (res gestae) in Latin to a secretary. He asked for Pirckheimer’s criticisms of his “soldier’s Latin” (ista militaris latinistas dicteo), an obvious allusion to Julius Caesar’s Commen­ taries on the Gallic Wars, first published more than a quarter of a century earlier (1469, Rome; 1473 Esslingen). His ambitions were to narrate for historians of posterity. This Latin autobiography project was short-lived, but from this brief dictation came the germ of all of Maximilian’s literary projects as well as his ongoing relation to the graphic arts that would eventually illustrate them; moreover, from such beginnings stemmed Maximilian’s continual use of scholarly advisers, such as Pirckheimer, to supervise and edit his texts. Already as early as 1492, the humanist Heinrich Bebel pressed Maximilian to begin a Latin autobiography. In it he charts his life as an oscillation between poles: the misfortune of his natal horoscope, counterbalanced by divine providence (Ergo notandum in posterum est semper deus mi­ sericors et e converso spiritus malus constellacionis sue).2 This dialectic lies at the heart of the later plot structure of Teuerdank, Maximilian’s fictionalized, autobiographical, verse romance, and it finds echos in Weisskunig, especially chapter 22, “How the Young White King Learned the Art of Stargazing [Sternsehens]”:“After this the young White King mastered political knowledge.

  • Maria Theresa
    Maria Theresa Maria Theresa Walburga Amalia Christina (German: Maria Theresia; 13 May 1717 – 29 November 1780) was the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions, ruling from Maria Theresa 1740 until her death in 1780. She was the sovereign of Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bohemia, Transylvania, Mantua, Milan, Lodomeria and Galicia, the Austrian Netherlands, and Parma. By marriage, she was Duchess of Lorraine, Grand Duchess of Tuscany and Holy Roman Empress. Maria Theresa started her 40-year reign when her father, Emperor Charles VI, died in October 1740. Charles VI paved the way for her accession with the Pragmatic Sanction of 1713 and spent his entire reign securing it. He neglected the advice of Prince Eugene of Savoy, who believed that a strong military and a rich treasury were more important than mere signatures. Eventually, Charles VI left behind a weakened and impoverished state, particularly due to the War of the Polish Succession and the Russo-Turkish War (1735– 1739). Moreover, upon his death, Saxony, Prussia, Bavaria, and France all repudiated the sanction they had recognised during his lifetime. Frederick II of Prussia (who became Maria Theresa's greatest rival for most of her reign) promptly invaded and took the affluent Habsburg province of Silesia in the seven-year conflict known as the War of the Austrian Portrait by Martin van Meytens, 1759 Succession. In defiance of the grave situation, she managed to secure the vital support of the Hungarians for the war effort. During the course of the war, Maria Theresa successfully Holy Roman Empress defended her rule over most of the Habsburg Monarchy, apart from the loss of Silesia and a German Queen few minor territories in Italy.

  • A Selection of Important Objects
    A SELECTION OF IMPORTANT OBJECTS Emperor Leopold I & Infanta Margarita Teresa Jan Thomas (Ypres 1617–1678 Vienna) 1667, copper Picture Gallery, inv.nos. 9135 & 9136 These two portraits depict Emperor Leopold I and his niece, Infanta Margarita Teresa, during the festivities organized to celebrate their wedding in 1666, which lasted several weeks. Both loved music and acted in the musical drama La Galatea; the court painter depicted them in the baroque costumes they wore on stage. The two portraits therefore also document the beginning of opera in Vienna, of which Leopold was a major patron. Old Man and Young Girl Lucas Cranach the elder (Kronach 1472–1553 Weimar) c. 1530/1540, panel Picture Gallery, inv.nos. 895 No painter’s workshop produced more versions of the subject “ill- matched couples” – which first appear in classical literature - than that run by the Cranachs: over forty versions are known today! Our painting features one of the more innocent compositions: an old man is placing a ring on a young woman’s finger while grabbing hold of her wrist, a clear indication of the dubious nature of their relationship.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Ties that Bind: Women and Friendship in Early Modern Italy A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Adriana Laura Guarro 2020 Ó Copyright by Adriana Laura Guarro 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Ties that Bind: Women and Friendship in Early Modern Italy by Adriana Laura Guarro Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Andrea Moudarres, Co-Chair Professor Deanna Shemek, Co-Chair This dissertation is a comparative study of literary texts authored by sixteenth-century Italian women that treat female friendship across the genres of epistolary writing, lyric poetry, and heroic poetry. The primary works under consideration include the correspondence between Elisabetta Gonzaga (1471–1526) and Isabella d’Este (1474–1539), the lyric poems authored by women in Lodovico Domenichi’s anthology Rime diverse d’alcune nobilissime et virtuosissime donne (1559), and Margherita Sarrocchi’s heroic poem the Scanderbeide (1623). In addition to the long-standing classical and Christian notions of friendship that held strong in Renaissance Italy, the genres of epistolary writing, lyric poetry, and heroic poetry each had a distinct and mostly male literary tradition of friendship. The literary works in this study reveal the various ways early modern Italian women contributed to their respective genres, and moreover, to larger cultural discourses on friendship by inserting the female perspective and experience. Their writings not only illuminate their ii understandings and interpretations of female bonds but also demonstrate their use of writing to initiate and maintain friendships with other women.
