A Napoleonic era bone prisoner of war model of the 40-gun frigate ‘Creolian’
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
A Napoleonic era bone prisoner of war model of the 40-gun frigate ‘Creolian’, the three masted barque with a planked hull, finely detailed with a carved poop deck and a female figurehead, intricate black thread rigging and a black plaque stating in gilt, Creolian. In the original glazed wooden case with a painted background of a sunset over a bay with ships on the horizon. French, circa 1800.
Provenance Ivan Roll Amis, d. 1 July 1970
Richard Henry Allen Amis, CBE, thence by descent
During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815), large numbers of French soldiers and marines were taken prisoner. To help pass the time and generate a small income, they would make a variety of objects—including ship models—from simple, easily-sourced materials such as bone and wood for sale at local markets. Typically, the models were not made to scale and tools were limited, making the quality and attention to detail in this work even more remarkable. To realise a good price at market, the models were often named after famous ships of the time. It may well be that this ship was the ‘Créole’, a 40-gun frigate of the French Navy. She served in the Brest squadron, took part in Ganteaume’s expeditions of 1801 to Egypt, and was involved in the French acquisition of Santo Domingo (also known as the Era de Francia) and briefly detained Toussaint Louverture...

Baroque Vanitas or Memento Mori of a Skull, Bone, 17th Century
Located in Madrid, ES
Vanitas or Memento Mori skull. Carved bone. 17th century.
Small human skull made of bone carved in its color with a clear naturalistic intention (visible in details such as the nose, the lower area, etc.). In the Baroque, the human skull is a common element and protagonist in a series of themes: on the one hand, there are the "Vanitas" or "Memento Mori" (painting, sculpture, relief, etc., sometimes combining carving with another figure -like the ivory rosary bead from the first half of the 16th century from the Bowdoin College Museum of Art in which the skull appears combined with reptiles; Memento Mori in a private collection made in Germany in the 17th century in which a skull and a half is combined face of Christ-); on the other hand, it is not possible to forget the reliquaries with the bones of saints, very often jeweled and decorated skeletons of the Valdsassen Basilica in Waldsassen, Germany; reliquaries in churches and cathedrals; etc.); and in addition, it is necessary to remember the representations of Death in the form of a human skeleton or already decomposing body (present in all supports in tombs -Bernini, tomb of Urban VII, Saint Peter of the Vatican-), macabre dances -even from the Age Media-, allegories, etc.). Although it is true that, normally, death and these representations of human skulls associated with it usually present some lack in teeth or structure (to highlight the decay, etc.), there are also some from the Baroque period in which there are no missing teeth; note, also, that the treatment of the eye sockets is somewhat particular in the present case, and that examples are preserved in marble, wood, ivory, bone, terracotta, etc. This element (which already appears in the Renaissance as demonstrated by the account of the rosary with lovers and the death skull...
