Vagabond Antiques
A Neoclassical painted and parcel-gilt console table Italy, late 18th century Marble and painted wood H 90 x W 110 x D 54 cm Italian neoclassical console table retaining its beautifully faded original painted and parcel-gilt decoration. The original shaped solid Breccia Violette marble top rests on a panelled frieze decorated with scrolling acanthus, flower-filled classical urns and carved paterae. The table is raised on four beautifully proportioned fluted legs, tapering to an unusually fine point and giving the table a particularly elegant and refined profile.
Artimo Fine Art
Émile Jespers (Antwerp, 1862-1918) Reclining female nude on a wave, circa 1907 Model created in 1907 Carrara marble H 36 x W 70 cm Signed on the base 'E. Jespers' This refined Carrara marble depicts a reclining female nude stretched across a dynamically carved rocky form evocative of a breaking wave. Resting on her forearms, her head gently raised and turned towards the viewer, the figure follows a long, sinuous movement from the shoulders through the waist and hips to the crossed legs. Jespers exploits the contrasting treatment of the marble to reinforce the composition. The smooth, highly polished surface of the female body emerges from the vigorously worked base, whose rougher texture and irregular contours suggest the movement of water. The sweeping silhouette of the figure follows the rhythm of the wave beneath her, closely associating the female body with the natural element. The composition belongs to the Symbolist and Art Nouveau exploration of the relationship between the female figure and nature that developed in Belgian sculpture around the turn of the twentieth century. It may notably be considered in relation to Charles Van der Stappen’s La Mer of 1902, conceived for Victor Horta’s Hôtel Solvay in Brussels, in which the female figure is similarly associated with the imagery of the sea. The plaster model is documented in 1907 through signed and dated versions of the composition, described as a reclining female nude and, more explicitly, as a nude woman reclining on a wave. The present Carrara marble corresponds closely in composition and dimensions to this documented example.
