Venus - Tischbronze aus der Werkstatt Andrea Riccios (um 1471-1532, Padua)
Seltene italienische Renaissancebronze. In Kontrapost stehende Venus, ein Füllhorn haltend, auf dreipassigem, von Löwenfüßen getragenem Sockel mit reliefiertem Randdekor, Kerzenhalter und balusterförmiges Tintenfass. Ästhetische Ausformung des Frauenaktes in fast tänzerischer Haltung, anmutiges Gesicht. Zwei kleine Bohrungen für eine nicht mehr vorhandene Handhabe; kleiner Riß an der linken Ferse, ansonsten ungewöhnlich gute, originale Erhaltung mit sehr schöner, bräunlicher Patina und Resten des originalen Schwarzlacks. Höhe 20 cm, Seitenlänge des Sockels 14 cm.
Diese Form der Tischbronze in variabler Darstellung wird bereits in der frühen kunsthistor. Literatur beschrieben, so z.B. das Exemplar im Berliner Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum.
Literatur: Planiscig, Leo: Andrea Riccio, Schroll, Wien, 1927, S 385ff., Abbildung 73, 74, 238.

Provenienz: Sammlung Robert Mayer, dort beschrieben als "Putto auf Sockelplatte, Paduanisch, 15. Jhdt".

Venus - a table bronze from the workshop of Andrea Riccio (circa 1471-1532, Padua)
Rare Italian Renaissance bronze. Venus standing in contrapposto, holding a cornucopia, on a trefoil base surrounded by a relief frieze, resting on lion feet, candlestick, and baluster-shaped inkwell. Aesthetic interpretation of a female nude in an almost dance-like pose, delicate face. Two small drill holes for a now missing handle; small crack at the left heel, otherwise in exceptionally good, original condition with very fine brownish patina and traces of original black lacquering. Height 20 cm, side length of the base 14 cm. This form of a variably arrangeable table bronze is already described in early art-historical literature, for example the piece in the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum in Berlin.
Literatur: Planiscig, Leo: Andrea Riccio, Schroll, Vienna, 1927, pp. 385ff., fig. 73, 74, 238.

Provenance: Robert Mayer Collection, described there as "Putto auf Sockelplatte, Paduanisch, 15. Jhdt".
