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...

Meissen Group 'Allegory Of The Volga' for Catherine II of Russia, Kaendler, 1850
Located in Vienna, AT
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.
The design of this group belongs to the models of the 'Great Russian Order...
