Goddess Neith Ancient Egypt · Late Period, 664–332 BC. Bronze Bronze 21 cm with the stand. Condition: Good condition. It has a crack on the neck, which has been professionally repaired. Documentation: - Present in one of the photographs taken by Dutch photographer Willem van de Poll in October 1961 during a visit to Erich Maria Remarque and his wife, American actress Paulette Goddard, at their villa in Porto Ronco, Switzerland. - Certificate from Moreau Gobard dated July 13, 1978. Provenance: - Label on the bottom of the base, from the Erich Maria Remarque collection. Erich Maria Remarque (Germany, 1898 – Switzerland, 1970) was one of the most prominent European writers of the second third of the 20th century. Sent to the front during the First World War, he captured the horrors of the conflict in his immortal anti-war novel "All Quiet on the Western Front," published in 1929. His defiantly pacifist stance during the turbulent interwar period led Joseph Goebbels to label him unpatriotic in 1933; his works were removed from German bookstores, and their sale was banned throughout the country. Finally, his German citizenship was revoked in 1938, a year before the outbreak of the Second World War. By then, Remarque had gone into exile in Switzerland, fleeing the rise of Nazism. From there he went to the United States, where he obtained citizenship in 1947. A year later he settled permanently in Porto Ronco, Switzerland. Remarque continued writing and reflecting on the horrors of war for the rest of his career, forever marked by the violence that swept through Europe between the 1910s and 1940s. A firsthand connoisseur of the art world, Remarque was a great admirer of the Impressionists and, over time, became a scholar and expert collector. His collection included works by Toulouse-Lautrec, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Daumier, Cézanne, and Picasso, among others, as well as ancient Chinese bronzes and terracotta figurines, Coptic art...
