Giovanni Paolo Panini,  Italian 1691-1765- View of Piazza Colonna with the Column of Marcus Aurelius, Rome; black chalk, pen and grey ink and watercolour on laid paper, watermark fragment fleur-de-lys with a crown, signed with initials ‘G.P.P.’ and indistinctly inscribed (lower left), further inscribed 'P.H.' (lower right), 25.3 x 36 cm. Provenance:  William Esdaile (1758-1837), London;  His sale, Christie's, London, 20 June 1840, lot 450 (2 gns to Hogarth).  Unidentified collector's mark P. H. (L. 2084).  Lore and Rudolf Heinemann, New York;  Their sale, Christie's, London, 1 July 1997, lot 75.  with Kate de Rothschild, London (Master Drawings, July 2001, no.11, illustrated).  Private Collection, Europe. Exhibited:  New York, The Pierpont Morgan Library & Museum, 'Drawings from the Collection of Lore and Rudolf Heinemann', 1973, no.32, illustrated. Note:  By contrast with his extensive output of capricci, Panini’s detailed topographical ‘vedute’ of Rome like this view are rare. In this drawing, several important symbols of modern Rome can be identified around Piazza Colonna: the Palazzo Chigi and the Curia Innocenziana to the right, the Residenza di Monsignor Vicegerente at the centre, and the Chiesa dei Santi Bartolomeo e Alessandro dei Bergamaschi to the left. The same view appears in Panini’s painting ‘Modern Rome’, pendant to Ancient Rome, both in the Louvre [no.R.F. 1944-22; F. Arisi, ‘Gian Paolo Panini, e i fasti della Roma del’700’, Rome, 1986, no.500, ill.]. Other versions of these well-known views can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York [nos 52.63.1 and 52.63.2], the latter showing the Piazza Colonna from a different viewpoint, and in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston [no.1975.805], also showing the Piazza Colonna from a different angle.

Footnotes:Provenance:Collection of the Late Arnold Seligmann, sold Paris, 4-5 June 1935, lot 117;Collection P. et M. Jonas. With Gismondi, Paris, sold in February 1999 and thence by descent to the present ownerThe fashion for embellishing exotic and expensive Chinese porcelain into objets de luxe with the addition of rich ormolu mounts, reached its peak in the mid-18th century through the activities of the marchands-merciers such as Lazare Duvaux or Simon-Philippe Poirier. The Livre-Journal of Lazare Duvaux for 1751 notes that Madame de Pompadour paid the extraordinary sum of 1,680 livres for a pair of ormolu-mounted celadon ewers. The detail with which such rich objects were described in contemporary sale catalogues during the second half of the 18th century, in contrast to the more generalised descriptions of unmounted Chinese porcelain found in earlier inventories, demonstrates the importance of these objects.Arnold SeligmannFrom the collection of the famous art and antiquities dealer Arnold Seligmann (1871-1935). The gallery Jacques Seligmann & Co. moved from Rue de Sommerand to Place Vendôme and Arnold's two brothers, Jacques and Simon joined the business as partners. The celebrated gallerists went through a very favourable period at the beginning of the 20th century and the gallery was expanding its clientele among the most important art collectors of the time such as Edmond James de Rothschild, the Stroganov family, Benjamin Altman, William Randolph Hearst and J.P. Morgan. However, in 1912, a family quarrel resulted in a lawsuit that split the company. Arnold Seligmann remained the sole owner of the gallery in Place Vendôme which was then renamed Arnold Seligmann & Cie.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
