Raout ToLentino, whose activities as a propagandist of Italian art in foreign countries have recently brought him the high distinction of the Commandership of the Italian Crown from H.M. the King of Italy, has the privilege of presenting, under the auspices of the American Art Galleries, his eighth exhibition in the United States of Italian Gothic and Renaissance art. Comm. Tolentino has long been favorably known for the quality and dis- crimination of his collections, and his beautiful galleries in the Florentine Palazzo Acciaioli, with its frescoed state room by Poccetti [by whom is a desk in the present sale], are well known to the amateurs of this country who have had occasion to request his advice or to compete for works of art at auction with the Cleveland, Boston, Detroit and other national Museums. In the large group of furniture are assembled a number of important rarities: a folding walnut state chair [No. 794] with hinged stretcher, of which type only two or three are known; a pair of chairs with tooled and polychromed leather backs, of the finest Venetian workmanship; two beautiful walnut cassoni in the manner of Jacopo Sansovino, and two other finely carved master-works of the Roman school; a remarkable Florentine gilded pastiglia cabinet on stand [No. 791] of the High Renaissance; a Venetian lectern with a bronze lion of St. Mark [No. 790], a sacristy cabinet of the Flemish school dated 1599, and finely painted with four full-length figures of saints; and a pair of resplendent Louis XV arm- chairs in red Venetian lacquer [No. 778]. Of the late Gothic period are a few cabinets of North Italian provenience, a carved walnut stall with two seats and a Sienese cassone painted after the manner of the Arras tapestries; for collectors, the simple and beautifully proportioned Dantesque and monastery chairs, early sgabelli and library tables of the Tuscan Quattrocento. The fifteenth century is also largely represented in forged wrought-iron work by Gothic torchéres, andirons and fireguards, together with the decorative wall brackets, grilles and garden gates of the Renaissance. An important item is a gilded palace balcony of the French Régence, with an abundance of richly scrolled leafage ornament, fully equal in merit to the famous balustrades of Madame de Pompadour’s Chateau de Bellevue. The rich stuffs of the collection include silk damasks, the sturdy Genoese brocatelles with linen weft, brocades (among which are two sumptuous copes), and velvets of the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, with one or two baldacchini en- riched with appliqué embroidery. A group of seven original silk palio banners with their weighted staves, from the city of Siena, recall a pageant whose origins are in the fifteenth century, and which to this day draws the curious to the City of the Contrade. Sculpture in stone and marble is represented in the exhibition by animal groups and gargoyles, fonts and four original ‘Tuscan fireplaces, including one of the school of Michelozzo. A fine collection of no less than seventeen armorial plaques in Fiesole stone, limestone and marble, has been assembled over a great period of time by Comm. Tolentino, and demonstrates the heights to wnich heraldic deco- ration was brought by such sculptors as the Lapi and the Donati brothers and the followers of Niccold Pisano; these are essentially well adapted to the decoration of halls and gardens. A piece of outstanding interest is a XII century haut relief of the Romanesque period portraying the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, and contemporary with similar carvings on the pulpit of the Cathedral at Parma. This originally belonged to the old Hospital of Bologna and was sold only by permission of the national authorities, to raise funds for this institution. A delightful bronze group of the Flagellation of Christ is by Alessandro Algardi. An assemblage of excavated Etruscan bronzes has been authenticated by the well-known classical scholar and expert of the Vatican Museum, Prof. Albizzati of the University of Caghari; in it are contained two pieces with de- cipherable inscriptions, one a tall candelabrum of an unusual character. Among the reliefs are two original masterpieces by Rossellino, one in stucco and the other in red terra-cotta, and in exceptionally fine preservation. The former is a work hitherto entirely undocumented, and is noteworthy for the introduction, above the Madonna and Child, of a garland bearing the medallion of St. George. Of the Della Robbia family are works by Andrea and Giovanni, the most important being a stanniferous enamel relief, by the first, of Virgin and Child, and a fine armorial tondo by his nephew. ‘Iwo enamels from the hand of Benedetto Buglioni, collaborator of Giovanni, are also included. Two reliefs of the first importance are by Donatello; a large Madonna and Child in stucco and the extraordinary wax bas-relief of the Crucifixion [No. 722], in which more than a score of figures are presented with amazing subordination of detail to composition, and of which a bronze replica exists in the Museo Nazionale in Florence; this is possibly the most exquisite piece of the whole collection. Leone Leoni, sculptor of some of the most important equestrian statues of the late Renais- sance, is represented by a vigorous bust of a warrior, under the influence, as Dr. Bodmer remarks, of the goldsmith’s craft of Cellini. The paintings cover a temporal field of three centuries and more: primitives of Jacopo del Casentino, Giovanni del Biondo and of the school of Orcagna are authen- ticated by Dr. Weigelt and precede a little picture by Jacopo Bellini, portraying an incident from Boccaccian romance, two panels of tondini [probably by Giovanni da Milano] and a charming portrait by Vincenzo Catena of the Venetian school, authenticated by Prof. Fiocco. Dr. Berenson, writing in the periodical Dedalo, has made mention of the beautiful Botticelli Madonna and Child |No. 765], stressing the identity of the head of the Madonna with that of the Venus of the “Spring” and maintaining its superiority to the Lockinge Madonna and the equally well-known group in the Lazzaroni Collection. The painting is full of charm and the most tender sensi- bility, and is of extreme importance. Lastly, we may refer to the monumental Van Dyck, Christ taken from the Cross [No. 766]), authenticated by Comm. Hofstede de Groot of the Hague Museum and Dr. Schaeffer, editor of the Klassitker der Kunst volume, in the most unambiguous terms; the latter has indeed promised to include a photograph of this painting in any future edition of the Van Dyck. Of the end of his first period, when he was engaged in emancipating himself from the influence of his master, Rubens, the work is a powerful Rubenesque composition, in which color is fear- lessly used. An attractive setting for a portion of the collection has been provided by Comm. Tolentino, who has brought over at considerable expense an entire paneled reception room with ceiling, from a castle in Piedmont. For the eclectic are two bathrooms in Oriental onyx, of great luxury. In this short summary we have endeavored to outline the nature and extent of the best collection that this connoisseur has yet brought together, and it is our hope that the many friends of Comm. Tolentino will ensure the success of the present sale by an appreciation of the taste and labor necessary to have assembled such a group of works of art; for, as we have constantly assured our clients, it is becoming every day more difficult to purchase in Europe antiquities of the highest order.

PorTRAIT OF A PaTRICIAN IN ARMOR Head and shoulders of a grizzled bearded soldier with resolute expression, clad in armor enriched with cherub head on the breast and a lion mask on the right shoulder; over the left are the folds of a drapery. On Renaissance crimson velvet stand. Height, 22% inches; width, 24 inches Note: A powerful example of the work of this famous architect and sculptor, who, under the shadow of Michelangelo, adorned the Late Renais- sance. The leaning towards classic Roman portraiture is characteristic. Accompanying the above is an autograph signed authentication by Dr. Enrico Bodmer, of the Kunsthistorisches Institut of Florence, as follows [translation]: “The bust of a warrior reproduced on the back [of photograph] is an important work of the first half of the Cinquecento. The virile and energetic expression of the head, the treatment of the hair, the delicacy of the ornament on the cuirass, on which is sculptured a Medusa [sic] head and a mask which covers the right shoulder, indicate the derivation of the artistic inspiration. We have in fact a beautiful and finely preserved work which has its roots in the art of Cellini, the artistic feeling of which is here dis- played with unusual force.” Florence, October 3, 1926. 266 MOR IN AR I ATRICIAN I A )F ( PORTRAIT Kindly read Conditions of Sale printed in forepart of Catalogue 724.

The work is a beautiful example of the painter’s eclecticism. The Madonna recalls the style of the master of S. Cecilia, while the Child shows indications of the manner of Bernardo Gaddi, from whose influence Jacopo was turning away. The painting has also stylistic relations with the half-length Madonna of the Charles Loeser Collection of Florence. [Cf.

Behind her at left and right are delicate vistas of landscapes seen through window embrasures. Height, 24 inches; width, 17% inches Note: In an article in the periodical Dedalo, June 1925, Dr. Berenson writes of the picture as follows [translation]: “ . . . The head of the Virgin was evidently taken from a painting in a manner and at a moment of Botti- celli’s career so near to the manner and moment of the pala of the Accademia that probably this other Madonna [the present picture] presents to us our original even more clearly than the too-tender Lockinge Madonna or the too-sentimental version belonging to the Baron Lazzaroni. This head, in fact, in so far as a copy [of itself] is able, reveals a character in full harmony with the serious and monumental figures of the Catherine and the Magdalen of our painting [the pa/a of the Accademia]. In addition, we felt that it was not a head unknown to us. Where had we seen her first? Where, if not in the ‘Primavera’? ‘This [head] is nearer to that of the Venus of that symphonic painting than any of the other Madonnas we have been discussing. The original must hence have been conceived during the interval between the prose-painting of the pala and the manifestation of that sublime vision of poetry.” Note: The conclusion, not drawn by Dr. Berenson, but implicit in his criticism, would seem to be that if the entire painting is not the work of the master, the beautiful head is at least by Botticelli himself, and in many respects the superior of two of his acknowledged paintings. It is further to be observed that Dr. Berenson saw the painting in the studio of Mr. Decoq in Paris only in its uncleaned condition. [ Illustrated | No. 765.

Height, 85 inches; width, 56 inches Note: The above has been authenticated by the following: (1) Comm. Hofstede de Groot, of the Hague. Following a description of the canvas [see reproduction of MS.] he writes: “The undersigned considers this picture as an authentic and characteristic work of the first period of Anthony Van Dyck.’ November, 1922. (2) Dr. D. Gustav Grote writes [see reproduction of the MSS.]: “I. . . consider it a genuine and characteristic work of Anthony Van Dyck. It is an important, powerful composition, painted in the broad manner of his earlier period, when he had already left Rubens’ atelier and formed a new style of his own. Some years earlier he painted the same subject in a picture in the Munich Pinakothek. There the body of the dead Christ is very similar, but the other figures are quite different and show still the almost awkward style of his earliest work. In the picture reproduced here the composition, expression and color are of much higher quality than in the Munich version.” Florence, Feb. 23, 1926: (3) Dr. Schaeffer, Editor of the Klassiker der Kunst volume. Two auto- graph letters signed and dated Florence, October 28 and October 29, 1925 respectively are as follows [translation]: “In. my opinion the picture repro- duced on the back [of this memorandum] is an original work of Van Dyck’s earlier period, influenced by Rubens.” In the second letter he states that in the event of a new edition of the volume Van Dyck of the Klassiker der Kunst series being undertaken, he will include in it a photograph of the present picture.
