Important et inédit groupe blanc de Capodimonte représentant Tancrède et Clorinde, vers 1755Modélé par Giuseppe Gricci, Tancrède portant une armure et un long manteau, un casque et une épée à ses pieds, tenant la main droite de Clorinde qui est assise sur une base en rocaille, son bouclier ovale avec un masque de lion et un casque à plumes à ses pieds.H. 28,5 cm - L. 24,5 cm An important and previously unrecorded large Capodimonte white group of Tancred and Clorinda, circa 1755Modelled by Giuseppe Gricci, Tancred wearing armour and a long cloak, a helmet and sword at his feet, holding the right hand of Clorinda who is laid on rockwork base, her oval shield with a lion mask and a plumed helmet at her feet.Footnotes:Ce groupe important et inédit fait partie d'une série de grandes sculptures ambitieuses de Capodimonte basées sur le célèbre poème épique du poète italien le Tasse, 'La Gerusalemme liberata' ou La Jérusalem délivrée. Publié pour la première fois en 1581, ce poème raconte une version largement mythifiée de la première croisade, au cours de laquelle des chevaliers chrétiens, menés par Godefroy de Bouillon, affrontent des musulmans afin de prendre Jérusalem.Le personnage fictif de Clorinde est une femme guerrière de l'armée sarrasine. Elle est introduite pour la première fois dans le deuxième chant du poème, lorsqu'elle sauve Sophronie et Olinde, deux amoureux chrétiens de Jérusalem, et réapparaît sous le commandement du roi de Jérusalem, Aladin, pour aider à la défense de la ville. Tancrède la voit sur le champ de bataille et tombe amoureux d'elle, refusant ainsi de la combattre. Mais le sort s'acharne : lors d'une bataille nocturne au cours de laquelle elle met le feu à la tour de siège chrétienne, elle est tuée par Tancrède, qui ne la reconnaît pas dans son armure et dans l'obscurité.Une version en terre cuite légèrement plus grande du groupe de Tancrède et Clorinde se trouve au Los Angeles County Museum, où elle est décrite comme provenant probablement de Naples et datant d'environ 1750. Il est probable que cette terre cuite ait servi de bozetto pour le groupe final en porcelaine, et que les autres versions en terre cuite et leurs contreparties en porcelaine aient toutes été conçues par Giuseppe Gricci comme faisant partie d'un ensemble plus vaste.Une grande sculpture de Capodimonte représentant Godefroy sur la tombe de Dudone se trouve dans la collection de la National Gallery of Victoria, à Melbourne (D4-1991). Elle est probablement apparentée à la figure en terre cuite conservée au Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid, Inv. 2016/134/1, et attribuée à Giuseppe Gricci.Olinde et Sophronie ont également été modelées par Giuseppe Gricci, et un exemplaire en porcelaine se trouve au Museo Palazzo Madama de Turin, tandis que son modèle en terre cuite se trouve dans une collection privée italienne, et les deux sont illustrés dans A. Carola-Perrotti, 'Le porcellane dei Borbone di Napoli, 1743-1806' (1986), cat.no. 154 et 155. Carola-Perrotti illustre également (op.cit. cat.no. 156) un modèle en terre cuite d'une collection privée représentant Herminie écrivant le nom de Tancrède dans un arbre.This large and previously unrecorded group is part of a series of ambitious large-scale Capodimonte sculptures based on the famous epic poem by the Italian poet Torquato Tasso, 'La Gerusalemme liberata' or Jerusalem Delivered. It was first published in 1581 and tells a largely mythified version of the First Crusade in which Christian knights, led by Godfrey of Bouillon, battle Muslims in order to take Jerusalem. The fictional character of Clorinda is a warrior woman of the Saracen army. She is first introduced in the second canto of the poem, when she rescues Sofronia and Olindo, two Christian lovers of Jerusalem, and the reappears under the command of the King of Jerusalem, Aladine, aiding that city's defences. Tancred sees her on the battlefield and falls in love with her, thus refusing to fight her. But fate strikes, when during a night battle in which she sets the Christian siege tower on fire, she is killed by Tancred, who does not recognise her in her armour and the darkness. A slightly larger terracotta version of the group of Tancred and Clorinda is in the Los Angeles County Museum, there catalogued as likely Naples and circa 1750. It it likely that this terracotta may have served as a bozetto for the final porcelain group, and that other terracotta versions and their resulting porcelain counterparts were all conceived by Giuseppe Gricci as part of a larger ensemble. A related large Capodimonte sculpture depicting depicting Godfrey at the tomb of Dudone is in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne (D4-1991). It is related to the terracotta figure held in the Museo Arqueológico Nacional in Madrid, Inv. 2016/134/1, and there attributed to Giuseppe Gricci.Olinda and Sofronia were also modelled by Giuseppe Gricci, and a porcelain example is in the Museo Palazzo Madama in Turin, whilst its terracotta model is in a private Italian collection, and both are illustrated in A. Carola-Perrotti, 'Le porcellane dei Borbone di Napoli, 1743-1806'(1986), cat.no. 154 and 155. Carola-Perrotti also illustrates (op.cit. cat.no. 156) a terracotta model in a private collection depicting Erminia writing Tancred's name in a tree.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
