A Rare signed 19th C. Italian Micromosaic Plaque of a Sheep Pastoral Scene, Vatican Studio. This rectangular Italian micromosaic plaque depicts a pastoral landscape with a shepherdess tending a flock of sheep along a winding path bordered by a grove of tall trees. A small dog stands beside the flock, while distant hills and an open meadow extend across the background beneath a pale sky. The composition is executed in minute glass tesserae arranged in subtle gradations of green, brown, blue, cream, and white to define the landscape, foliage, figures, and animals. The shepherdess wears a white blouse with a blue skirt and red apron, providing a focal point within the natural setting. The plaque is housed in a molded giltwood frame with a broad inner molding and an outer border carved with alternating spiral bands and rounded bosses. The scene is signed in the lower right corner, and the closely set tesserae create smooth transitions throughout the composition. The plaque was produced by the Vatican Studio and bears its original paper label on the reverse reading Rev. Fabbrica S. Pietro in Vaticano, Studio del Mosaico...

We kindly ask that you read the entire description, as we strive to provide comprehensive technical and historical details to ensure the authenticity of our items. This frame encloses a canvas cutout from an antique oil painting and is particularly unique and distinctive. It was recently crafted by a Florentine Master cabinetmaker whose workshop is located in the most charming and vibrant district of Florence, San Frediano, renowned for its artisan shops that produce entirely handmade works. The Master used carved and shaped wood to replicate the appearance of bamboo, employing a technique known as "faux bamboo." This process involves using durable woods, such as maple or oak, that are intricately carved and then painted to achieve the desired effect. The "faux bamboo" technique has a history that dates back several centuries and gained significant popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe and America, eras marked by a fascination with exotic and Oriental design influences. This technique was particularly associated with the Chinoiserie style, an artistic movement inspired by Chinese art and aesthetics. At the time, real bamboo furniture...

18th century German, a hand-colored engraving of a dressage horse and rider from Description du Manège Moderne by Friedrich Wilhelm, Baron Rais d' Eisenberg (German, ca. 1700-ca. 1770). Engraved by Bernard Picart (French, 1673-1733). Titled "Le Brillant", this dressage engraving is plate XXXIII. There is a gallery label verso. The print is matted and framed under UF-3 plexiglass, which offers the maximum amount of UV protection (approx. 97%). This print was originally part of an illustrated book Baron d'Eisenberg made describing the art of the cavaliers and depicting the different breeds of horses- The full title of the book is L'Art de Monter a Cheval: ou Description du Manége Moderne, Dans sa Perfection, published in Leipzig: Arkstée et Merkus, 1747). A set of 7 framed engravings from the same book sold at Sotheby's for $9,500 (plus tax and buyers premium). Reference: The author, a German horseman and artist, spent some of his youth at the manège of Saxe-Weimar before entering into the service of the Emperor. He then spent six years in Naples as the Master of Horse of the Viceroy before returning to Vienna where he studied under M. de Regenthal, the imperial Master of Horse. He participated in the coronation of the Emperor Charles V at Frankfurt in 1711, then spent some time in England, but was back in Germany before 1753. He probably died in Tuscany where he was Director and Master of the Horse at the Academy in Pisa. Brunet II, 957; Mennessier de la Lance I, p. 438. The Baron wrote several important and lavishly illustrated books on horses: his Description du manège moderne dans sa perfection, London 1727, and Dictionnaire des termes du manège moderne, 1747, being the best well-known. He dedicated Description du Manège Moderne to King George II and to his son, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Subscribers to the book included royalty and nobility from all over Europe. The engraver was Bernard Picart, born in Paris in 1673. He gained honors at the Academy of Paris at the age of sixteen. He was a master designer and engraver and worked in Paris and Amsterdam until his death in 1733.
