The Varied Panther of Nature's Palette in a Hand-Colored Engraving, crica 1850
About the Item
Title: "The Varied Panther of Nature's Palette"
Description: This 19th-century coloured engraving, crafted with the meticulous hand of German illustrator Johann Eberhard Ihle and engraver Johann Nusbiegel, is a representation of a panther, titled 'Felis Varia'.
It is a part of the extensive work "Die Säugethiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" (The Mammals in Illustrations According to Nature with Descriptions), which was published between 1774 and 1855 by the eminent naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. The artistry captures the panther in a poised stance, exhibiting its spotted coat and muscular build, set against a serene natural backdrop. The detailed rendering reflects a deep appreciation for the animal's grace and the subtle complexities of its form, characteristic of the natural history illustrations of the era.

- Hand-Colored Engraving of the Ceiling of the Church of Santa Costanza in FrameLocated in Pembroke, MAA large, nicely-framed Italian hand-colored engraving in tones of terracotta and black (17th century, with more recent matte and frame) by Pietro Bartoli. The engraving depicts the mosaic ceiling in the church of Santa Costanza outside of Rome, which was studied by the ecclesiatical archaeologist Giovanni Ciampini. The mosaic ceiling no longer exists, but is known through various depictions of the artwork, such as this engraving. The images include Christian imagery including the sacrifice of Cain and Abel and possibly Noah building the ark. The upper row of mosaics is believed to represent scenes from the New Testament, with caryatids dividing the ceiling into twelve segments. The engraving is captioned in Latin: "Opus Musiuum olim in tholo Templi, quod vulgo creditur Bacchi, nunc Sancte Constantie extra Portam Piam cariatides, et Telamones in duodecium dividant Segmenta, ubi plura autumnales ferias, et piscationis Genium demostrant, iuxta interpretionem Ciampini qui mediatatem exhibet Veterum monum." In the 17th century, the church of Santa Costanza was known as the "Temple of Bacchus," and was the site of rowdy Bacchic festivals until Pope Clement XI banned the rites in 1720.
