19th Century Italian Statuary Marble Plaque After Duquesnoy
About the Item
A large early 19th century Italian statuary marble plaque depicting a reclining cherub or putto, formerly owned by the 1st Earl of Mountbatten. Expertly carved in deep relief, this plaque is after the famed 17th century Flemish Baroque sculptor, Francois Duquesnoy (1597-1643).
Carved with exceptional definition, the plaque depicts a tranquil scene featuring putto with floral crown sleeping beneath a tree, abundant with leaves and foliage, the ruins of a neoclassical style building in the distance.
Originally used as a chimneypiece tablet, this deeply carved and highly detailed plaque now makes a stunning decorative standalone piece, mounted on a bespoke steel stand as pictured for interior display.
Provenance
Formerly owned by Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma (1900 – 1979) and thence by descent. Born to the Battenberg family, Mountbatten was second cousin to King George VI, Uncle to Prince Phillip and Great Uncle to His Majesty, King Charles III. Mountbatten had an extensive career in the Royal Navy, serving in both World Wars and as the last British Viceroy of India.
Francois Dequesnoy (1597-1643)
Dequesnoy was a Flemish Roman sculptor whose work helped to counter the influence of the more extravagantly emotional art prevailing in the 17th century Rome.
In 1618, he travelled to Rome and for 10 years was engaged in the restoration of classical sculpture.
