  • A large neoclassical banded agate intaglio by Pichler. Theseus and the Minotaur.
    Lot 275

    A large neoclassical banded agate intaglio by Pichler. Theseus and the Minotaur.

    19th century.
    24x34x4 mm

    The famous mythical episode in which Theseus killed the Minotaur is represented here in a powerful scene engraved on a large banded agate. The hero is giving with a club the fatal strike that will kill the beast, represented with one knee on the ground, in agony, blocked by the arm and by the right leg of Theseus. The postures of both characters are elegant, typically neoclassical after an original roman marble group found in 1740 in Genzano, near Rome, than into the Albani collection ("217. Group of Theseus killing the Minotaur, in the same way that this fact is represented in Athens medal at the Caylus tom. 3 p. 131. Ant. Gr. Plate 34 n.4 .... It was found in the year 1740 in Genzano ... "). This scene is present in a very similar way, with some variations, on some Roman coins (Attica, Athens, 145/55-175 AD, on the reverse The Minotaur holding a club in his right hand, left hand holding an horn of the Minotaur kneeling, who is preparing to slay, SNG Copenhagen 341 var.; Bithynia, Nicomedia, Severis Alexander SNG von Aulock 784). This model was also followed in the neoclassical glyptic production, as evidenced by a rare glass impression from the Paoletti collection (yellow glass, inv. MR 28112, The Minotaur killed by Theseus, from an unsigned intaglio in sardonic, London, British Museum coll. Blacas 1866, erroneously attributed at the time to Marchant). In the Pichler gem, the anatomic rendering and all the details are engraved with great artistic and technical mastery. The musculature is marked and well proportioned with elegance, the poses are never rigid. Great skill also revealed by the feet in perspective, and by the features of the faces. In particular, the physiognomic rendering of the face of Theseus is interesting, very similar to some Antonio Canova portraits. It was the sculptor himself, in 1781-83 (London, V&A) who sculpted a statuary group with Theseus and the Minotaur, portrayed after the violent fight. In this Pichler's intaglio, the presence of human bones of the Minotaur's victims is also interesting, in the same style as some Poniatowski gems. This banded agate carving has the "PICHLER EPOI (EI)" signature in greek letters, with abbreviation; the signature is well centered in the clear band of the stone. This signature is attributable with good certainty to Antonio Pichler. (1697-1779), father and progenitor of the famous dynasty of engravers (see Index of Greek signatures in Coll. Paoletti II p. 491). This attribution is also supported by the more severe engraving style, in line with several currently known works made by Antonio. Beautiful variety of banded agate. Wear marks.

4. CONDUCT OF THE SALE

Our Sales are public auctions which persons may attend and you should take the opportunity to do so. We do

reserve the right at our sole discretion to refuse admission to our premises or to any Sale without stating a

reason. We have complete discretion as to whether the Sale proceeds, whether any Lot is included in the

Sale, the manner in which the Sale is conducted and we may offer Lots for Sale in any order we choose

notwithstanding the numbers given to Lots in the Catalogue. You should therefore check the date and

starting time of the Sale, whether there have been any withdrawals or late entries. Remember that

withdrawals and late entries may affect the time at which a Lot you are interested in is put up for Sale. We

have complete discretion to refuse any bid, to nominate any bidding increment we consider appropriate, to

divide any Lot, to combine two or more Lots, to withdraw any Lot from a Sale and, before the Sale has been

closed, to put up any Lot for auction again.

Some lots may carry a reserve. The auctioneer reserves the right not to sell an item below the confidential

price, or will repurchase the item on behalf of the consignor or of BFA. If a reserve exists the auctioneer

reserves the right to bid on any lot on behalf of the consignor up to the amount of the reserve against any

floor or mail bidders. The auctioneer also reserves the right to bid on any lot on behalf of BFA. The Buyer

will be the Bidder who makes the highest bid acceptable to the Auctioneer for any Lot (subject to any

applicable Reserve) to whom the Lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer at the fall of the Auctioneer’s

hammer.

Any dispute as to the highest acceptable bid will be settled by the Auctioneer at his or her absolute

We do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and delivered to us one of our Bidding

Forms, either our Bidder Registration Form, Absentee Bidding Form or Telephone Bidding Form. You will

be asked for proof of identity, residence and references, which, when asked for, you must supply if your bids

are to be accepted by us. Please bring your passport, driving license (or similar photographic proof of

identity) and proof of address. We may request a deposit from you before allowing you to bid. We may

refuse entry to a Sale to any person even if that person has completed a Bidding Form.

Bidding in person

You should come to our Bidder registration desk at the Sale venue and fill out a Bidder Registration Form on

(or, if possible, before) the day of the Sale. The bidding number system is sometimes referred to as “paddle

bidding”. You will be issued with a large card (a “paddle”) with a printed number on it. This will be

attributed to you for the purposes of the Sale. Should you be a successful Bidder you will need to ensure that

your number can be clearly seen by the Auctioneer and that it is your number which is identified as the

Buyer’s. You should not let anyone else use your paddle as all Lots will be invoiced to the name and address

given on your Bidder Registration Form. Once an invoice is issued it will not be changed. If there is any

doubt as to the Hammer Price of, or whether you are the successful Bidder of, a particular Lot, you must

draw this to the attention of the Auctioneer before the next Lot is offered for Sale. At the end of the Sale, or

when you have finished bidding please return your paddle to the Bidder registration desk.

Bidding by telephone (only available on lots with a low estimate greater than £500)

If you wish to bid at the Sale by telephone, please complete a Telephone Bidding Form, which is available

from our offices or in the Catalogue. Please then return it to the office responsible

for the Sale at least 24 hours in advance of the Sale. It is your responsibility to check with our Bids Office

that your bid has been received. Telephone calls will be recorded. The telephone bidding facility is a

discretionary service and may not be available in relation to all Lots. We will not be responsible for bidding

on your behalf if you are unavailable at the time of the Sale or if the telephone connection is interrupted

during bidding. Our staff will be available for phone calls in foreign languages as long as previously agreed

upon.

Bidding by post or fax

Absentee Bidding Forms can be found in the back of this Catalogue and should be completed and sent to the

office responsible for the Sale. It is in your interest to return your form as soon as possible, as if two or more

Bidders submit identical bids for a Lot, the first bid received takes preference. In any event, all bids should

be received at least 24 hours before the start of the Sale. Please check your Absentee Bidding Form carefully

before returning it to us, fully completed and signed by you. It is your responsibility to check with our Bids

Office that your bid has been received. This additional service is complimentary and confidential. Such bids

are made at your own risk and we cannot accept liability for our failure to receive and/or place any such bids.

All bids made on your behalf will be made at the lowest level possible subject to Reserves and other bids

made for the Lot. Where appropriate your bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with

the Auctioneer’s bidding increments. New Bidders must also provide proof of identity and address when

submitting bids. Failure to do this will result in your bid not being placed.

Bidding via the internet

Please visit our Website at www.bertolamifinearts.com for details of how to bid via the internet.

Bidding through an agent

Bids will be accepted as placed on behalf of the person named as the principal on the Bidding Form although

we may refuse to accept bids from an agent on behalf of a principal and will require written confirmation

from the principal confirming the agent’s authority to bid. For further details, please contact Customer

Services of Bertolami Fine Arts LTD.
