Description

Two marble plaques with sacrificial scenes Polychrome marble on white and black marble with gilt metal mountings and glass. Depicting two young women shown in profile bringing sacrifices at two altars, above them fanciful inscriptions resembling cuneiform. With minor chips and damage. H of Egyptian 64.5, W 46.5; Babylonian H 66, W 41 cm. Italy, presumably Rome, mid-19th C. One of the earliest rooms designed in this style can be found in the Palazzo Grosso in Riva presso Chieri, south of Turin. The palace came into the hands of the young Countess Faustina Grosso in Mazzetti di Montalero in 1778, and she organised for extensive renovations of the interior to be carried out by the brothers Antonio and Giovanni Torricelli. Amendments were also planned for the palace facade and two new gardens were designed by the Viennese architect Leopoldo Pollack, but these designs were never carried out. What remains of the ambitious renovation project is a magnificent room decorated in micro-mosaic and scagliola panels depicting various more or less arbitrarily chosen motifs drawn from the archaeological excavations at Naples. Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, the findings of which were published in Dominique-Vivant Denon's three-volume "Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Egypt" (London 1802), provided a new focus of interest and longing for lovers of the ancient world. The first excavations in Mesopotamia followed shortly after in 1811, begun by the British archaeologist Claudius James Rich, who published his findings in London in 1836. Much of the inspiration for these relief panels derives from these and subsequent publications, although the depictions make no claim on historical accuracy. They are designed more to evoke a feeling for and testify to an affinity with the past. Provenance North Italian collection. Literature Cf. Colle, Il mobile neoclassico in Italia. Arredi e decorazioni d´interni dal 1775 al 1800, Milan 2005, illus. p. 398. Zwei Reliefplaketten mit Opferszenen Farbige Marmors auf weißen bzw. schwarzem Marmor, vergoldetes Metall, farbiges Glas. Zwei junge Frauen im Profil, vor Altären opfernd, darüber Fantasie-Inschriften in einer Art Keilschrift. Kleine Chips und Abbrüche. Äypterin H 64,5, B 46,5, Babylonierin H 66, B 41 cm. Italien, wohl Rom, Mitte 19. Jh. Eine der frühesten Raumgestaltungen in diesem Stil befindet sich im Palazzo Grosso in Riva presso Chieri, südlich von Turin. Im Jahr 1778 ging der Palast an die junge Gräfin Faustina Grosso in Mazzetti di Montalero über, die ihn umfassend renovieren und innen von den beiden Brüdern Antonio und Giovanni Torricelli neu gestalten ließ. Dementsprechend sollte auch die Schlossfassade verändert und zwei Gärten nach Entwürfen des Wiener Architekten Leopoldo Pollack angelegt werden - doch dazu kam es nicht. Was bleibt, ist eine sagenhafte Gestaltung mit Mikromosaiken und Scagliolapeneelen, die willkürliche Motive aus den Ausgrabungen in Neapel widerspiegeln. Nach Napoleons Ägyptenfeldzug, wiedergegeben in den drei Bänden von Dominique-Vivant Denons "Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Egypt" (London 1802), trat eine neue Sehnsucht in den Focus der Liebhaber der alten Welt. Bald darauf, ab 1811, begannen auch die ersten Ausgrabungen in Mesopotamien unter dem Briten Claudius James Rich, die in London ab 1836 publiziert wurden. Viele Inspirationen aus diesen und folgenden Veröffentlichungen finden Eingang in die Gestaltung der beiden Reliefpaneele, ohne dass die Darstellung einen wissenschaftlich korrekten Anspruch erhebt. Sie soll eine Stimmung evozieren, eine Affinität bekunden. Provenienz Norditalienische Sammlung. Literatur S.a. Colle, Il mobile neoclassico in Italia. Arredi e decorazioni d´interni dal 1775 al 1800, Mailand 2005, Abb. S. 398.
