Meissen Large Allegorical Group 'The Earth' by M.V. Acier, Germany Around 1850
Located in Vienna, AT
Excellent Meissen porcelain group of the 19th century:
Depiction of the goddess Kybele, the great Phrygian mother of the gods 'Magna Mater', seated with a mural crown on a reclining lion, holding a cornucopia on her lap, symbol of wealth and abundance, behind her standing on a rock a female cupid presenting a key, surrounded by further three cupids with flowers, crops and rake, symbolising agriculture and the cultivation of the earth.
The group is based on an irregular earth and rock base with a gold rim.
Kybele usually wears a crown in the shape of a city wall on her head as an attribute and is depicted in castles, monasteries and baroque gardens, especially in the 18th century. In cycles showing the four elements, she embodies the earth. That is why she is often presented with the sun and moon to her right and left. In the other hand she may carry a staff of office, a sceptre, as a symbol of rulership complementing the mural crown. In the other hand she carries a small kettledrum, which may symbolise the noise of her madness or the festivities held in her honour. Often Kybele rides on a lion or a pair of lions, or she rides on a chariot drawn by two lions. Spikes of corn, poppies, flowers or fruit in bowls may also be shown. wikipwdia.

Meissen Group 'Triumph Of Apollo Over Python' for Catherine II of Russia, c 1860
Located in Vienna, AT
Very rare and excellent porcelain sculpture:
Kaendler created the group Apollo and Python as a triangular composition in March and May of1774. Apollo stands in the highest place as the radiant victor over the dragon Python and over the personification of envy, both of whom lie slain at his feet. To the left, Minerva sits as the goddess of prudent war, turning her gaze to the hero. Dressed in helmet and armor, she carries a spear in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, while the owl next to her right foot indicates her identity as Pallas Athena. Just like Apollo, the tsarina protected by Minerva is supposed to leave the envious behind and always triumph over evil.
The group is based on stepped, irregular, yet symmetrical, partially curved base with gold raised frieze decoration and was made in two parts, which were then joined and screwed together.
The design of this group belongs to the models of the 'Great Russian Order...

Very rare and excellent porcelain sculpture:
Kändler created this group in 1772, right at the beginning of the work on the large order, as a personification of one of the two great main
rivers of the vast Russian Empire, the natural waterways Volga and Dnieper, important for economy and traffic, which promised prosperity and wealth to the Empire:
The Volga in the form of a river god, seated sideways on heavily relieved fully sculptured rock covered with shells and coins as well as fern and reed plants, fully bearded and crowned with laurel, wrapped in floral patterned purple loincloth. He looks pensively to the side and rests his right arm on an overturned baluster vase, from which water flows together with shells and fish, on the wall of the vase the crowned, rocaille-framed Polish-Lithuanian royal coat of arms with the coat of arms of the Electorate of Saxony. At the same time he touches with his hand an oar with gold ornamentation and crossed red swords, in his left he holds a cornucopia with plastic flowers, ears of grain and coins, symbols of fertility and wealth.
The group is based on the front curved plinth with relief gold heightened meander and ribbon border.

Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasian Augustus (in Latin: Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus; in the epigraphs: IMP•T•CAESAR•VESPASIANUS•AVG•PON•M•TR•POT[1]; Rome, 30 December 39 – Aquae Cutiliae, 13 September 81, better known simply as Titus, was a Roman emperor, belonging to the Flavian dynasty, and reigned for just over two years from 79 to 81, the year of his death.
Before ascending the throne, Titus was an able and esteemed general who distinguished himself for the repression of the rebellion in Judea in 70, during which the second temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. He was considered a good emperor by Tacitus and other contemporary historians; he is known for his program of public works in Rome and for his generosity in rescuing the population following two disastrous events: the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and the fire in Rome in 80. Famous is the definition that the historian Suetonius gave of him:
"Amor ac deliciae generis humani. » « Love and delight of mankind. »
Titus' family, the gens Flavia, belonged to that Italian nobility which, in the first half of the first century, was gradually replacing the more ancient Roman aristocracy, weakened by the decades of civil wars fought in the first century BC. The Flavians, in fact, were not of noble origins, but they managed, within just three generations, to rise from humble origins to the honor of the imperial purple. Tito's paternal great-grandfather, Tito Flavio Petrone from Rieti, had fought as a centurion evocatus in the army of Gnaeus Pompey the Great during the civil war of 49-45 BC, fighting in the battle of Farsalo and fleeing after the defeat of the Pompeians; he was pardoned by Cesare and became tax collector...

The Basilica of Saint Clement Lateran is a complex of buildings in Rome, Italy centered around a Catholic church dedicated to Pope Clement I. The site is notable for being an archaeological record of early Rome's religious, political, and architectural history. from the Christian era to the Middle Ages.
The old church was transformed over the centuries from a private home that was the site of clandestine Christian worship in the first century to a grand public basilica in the sixth century, reflecting the growing legitimacy and power of the emerging Catholic church.
The house was originally owned by a Christian consul and martyr, Tito Flavio Clemente, who was one of the first Roman senators to convert to Christianity. He allowed his house to be used as a secret meeting place for his fellow Christians, which religion was then prohibited.
There is evidence of a pagan cult at the site. In the 2nd century members of a Mithraist cult built a small temple dedicated to Mithras in an insula, or apartment complex, on the site. This temple, used for initiation rituals, lasted until around the end of the 3rd century.
Excavations in the 1860s revealed the first forgotten basilica underlying the medieval one. In the late 4th or early 5th century, after Christianity had become the official religion of Rome, the small church was enlarged, acquiring the neighboring insula and other nearby buildings; the architects began to work on the complex of rooms and patios, building a central nave on the site of the previous church, and an apse on the previous mithraeum. The new church was dedicated to Pope Clement I, a first-century Christian convert and a contemporary of Titus Flavius Clement. Restorations were undertaken in the 9th century and around 1080-99.1
Apart from those in the Church of Santa Maria Antiqua, the most extensive collection of wall paintings from the early Middle Ages are those found in the lower basilica of San Clemente. Over the following centuries, San Clemente became a "beacon" for church artists and sculptors, benefiting from the generosity of the Byzantine Empire. Currently, it is one of the most richly decorated churches in Rome.
The last great event that occurred in the lower basilica was the election in 1099 of Cardinal Rainerius of San Clemente as Pope Paschal II.
The current basilica was rebuilt in a campaign by Cardinal Anastasius, c. 1099-h. 1120, after the original church was burned to the ground during the Norman sack...
