Condition Report

Rare full set of beautiful vases drawn by Polidoro of Caravaggio. Are added to in this specimen the four knives drawn by Salviati. The plates are etched and engraved by Aegidius Sadeler. British: "The vases are derived from a series that had been painted by Polidoro above the first floor windows of the Palazzo Milesi in the via della Maschera d'Oro in Rome. Polidoro designed and executed a whole series of elaborate painted schemes for the decoration of palace and house façades in Rome in the period 1520-27. They were painted in grisaille to imitate sculpture and reflected contemporary ideas about how such buildings would have been decorated in antiquity. The subject matter was intended to evoke the ancient world. Many of these frescoes became very famous and were much copied, not least because their position made them very vulnerable to the elements and their life-expectancy was short. Vasari mentioned the Palazzo Milesi decorations in particular with the highest praise, including the vases: 'con alcuni vasi d'oro contrafatti, con tante bizzarrie dentro, che occhio mortale non potrebbe imaginarsi altro ne più bello ne più nuovo' (Vasari-Milanesi V, p.149; the whole façade is shown in L. Ravelli, 'Polidoro Caldara da Caravaggio', Bergamo, 1978, fig.667, p.369). Alberti did a considerable number of engravings after works by Polidoro. Marzio Milesi, the owner of the Palazzo Milesi was later to become a friend, and the engraver presented him with a set of the Vases (Petrucci, 1956, p.128)." The knives are drawn by the Florentine painter Francesco de 'Rossi called Cecchino, or Salviati, and are characterized by imaginative handles of mythological and grotesque taste. Aegidius Sadeler, also known as Egidio or as Gilles, was a painter, printmaker and an important Mannerist, certainly the most important member of the dynasty of Sadeler. After moving to Cologne in childhood (about 1579), and then to Monaco of Bavaria (about 1588), travels to Italy, working in Rome in 1593, then to Verona and probably in Venice. After a journey to Naples, he moved to Prague in 1597, where he spent the rest of his life, mostly employed at the court of Rudolf II, with Bartholomeus Spranger, of which he became the best translator. About the Vasa: Hollstein, Dutch and Flemish Etchings, Engravings and Woodcuts ca. 1450-1700, v. XXI, p. 79; The Illustrated Bartsch. Aegidius Sadeler II. Supplement. Part II, p. 291. About the Knives: Hollstein, v. XXI, p. 79; The Illustrated Bartsch. Aegidius Sadeler II. Supplement. Part II, p. 307. n. 418. The Lot is offered with a valid export licence.
