[Hemsterhuis, Francois]. Alexis ou De l'age d'or, first edition, Riga: Hartknoch, 1787. Scarce first edition of one of the most important works by Hemsterhuis. Octavo, 188pp., plus one folding plate, on heavy laid paper, contemporary paper-covered boards. Contents well-preserved & bright, wide margins, some very pale spotting, armorial bookplate covered over on front pastedown, binding worn with loss to spine'In Alexis Hemsterhuis, perhaps influenced by contemporary German philosophy, presented for the first time his concept of the golden age and the harmonious development of the individual. He also introduced the notion of the value of poetical truth (truth discovered by the poet in moments of enthusiasm). With these ideas Hemsterhuis had moved far from his earlier rationalism, and his thought was received with admiration and approval by representatives of the Sturm und Drang and romantic movements in philosophy.'

Francesco da Ponte Bassano (Bassano del Grappa, Veneto, 1549 - Venice, 1592)"Birth of the Virgin Mary"Oil on canvas. Signed. 91 x 126 cm.The Nativity of Mary is an iconography that was drawn together in several apocryphal gospels, including the Gospel of James.  Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, not having had children in the marriage, promise to consecrate the child that is granted to them to God, and for that purpose, Saint Joachim goes to the temple to make an offering. After being rejected by the priest, he withdraws to meditate until an angel tells him and his wife that he will father a daughter, who would in turn be the Mother of the Son of God.On the canvas you can see Saint Anne lying on the bed, attended by several women. One of them offers her a tray with eggs so that she can recover the strength lost in childbirth, while a servant holds the baby Mary and prepares her for a bath in a basin and several women prepare bandages and towels. A servant kneels as a sign of respect before her. Saint Joachim is depicted in the scene, next to Saint Anne, despite this being uncommon. The interior of the house is sumptuous, with decorative elements and high quality furniture, marble columns, curtains and pitchers, among other elements.Francesco Bassano, known in Spain as "Bassano el Mozo" was a renowned Italian painter who worked in Venice, Florence and Rome and who belonged to a family of painters.As can be read in the Prado Museum encyclopedia , "he was the eldest son of the founder of this dynasty of artists [Jacopo Bassano], as well as the most gifted of the four brothers, all painters, who formed the Bassanesque workshop."His paintings were highly valued in the Spanish court of King Philip II and during the 17th century, which is why the Prado Museum has numerous works by the Bassanos.The Prado also reports that his outstanding paintings include "the seven canvases preserved from the series of «The months of the year», which are now entirely attributed to Francesco and had not been studied by specialists until recently."Bibliographic reference:- Museo del Prado (s.f.).

1st century B.C.-1st century A.D. A characteristic, rugged portrait with hairstyle typical of princes of the period, or of the god Hermes; the portrait representing a young man with a broad and flat face with a prominent forehead, naked brow, rounded eyelids and clearly defined lines around the eyes; detailed eyes and visible pupils, shallow eyebrows and pronounced lips; realistic hair arranged in locks on the forehead and ending with a precise line at the base of the neck; a recess to each side of the head for attachment of ears or possibly of headgear; mounted on a custom-made display stand.

This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.114500-194057. The face is that of a young subject, portrayed in a naturalistic way, with the intention to represent a king or a young Ptolemaic prince. The absent nose and the worn surface make it difficult to completely understand the physiognomy, although the prolonged lines of the eyes, extending to the corners, reveals a characteristic Egyptian trait. The representation of hair is not Egyptian, however, but appears in many Ptolemaic and Roman statues with Greek features. A parallel can be found in the colossal head recovered from the sea in the harbour of Alexandria (Goddio, Fabre, 2009, fig.20). [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.]
