Six Inlaid Panels Attr. to Luigi Mascaroni Italy XIX Century

1800s

About the Item

Six inlaid panels with representations of six divinities, represented within ovoid frames, belonging to the Greek-Roman mythology. The frames, except for the corner squares, are veneered in bois de violette head also in the profiles and threaded with three fillets in boxwood, maple and cedar, the oval reserves themselves, placed on a maple background are framed by the thread previous with the addition of a bone fillet. The divinities are instead inlaid on a rosewood background with the use of various woods, and bone in some dyed details. Particularly valuable and refined in execution is the engraving that shades and draws the wood. The panels bear the inscription on the left "Raffaele Sanzio Urbino." On the right "Luigi Mascaroni Fece", in the center under the wooden painting the name of the depicted divinity. The gods are all depicted above a chariot pulled by various real or monstrous animals, and are recognizable not only by the name given below the scene, but also by the attributes they are accompanied by. Apollo is in fact crowned with the rays of the sun from which he drives the chariot carried by the four horses; pulled by two vestals, Diana has a crescent on her forehead and is accompanied by a bow and arrows, hunting tools; Mars is depicted as a triumphant warrior god holding a spear; Mercury wears the helmet and winged shoes while with his right hand he holds the caduceus, his chariot is pulled by hens; Saturn holds a spear and holds the reins of the two infernal serpents; finally Venus is represented as a half-naked girl whose chariot is pulled by four doves. The works, never touched, still have in the rear frame the ancient nails that keep them fixed to the frames.

    Painted porcelain tile, on which Louise of Prussia is depicted.

Luisa is coming down the steps of a classical building: the base and the lower part of a tapered column can be glimpsed, just as the herms in the background look to the ancient world, while in the background she sees a wooded landscape. The porcelain is branded on the back with the royal scepter...
