Angels appear to Abraham Apparuerunt ei tres viri et cucurrit Abraham de ostio Tabernaculi sui et adoravit in Terram

177420164Rome 1774. Copper engraving by Ottaviani after drawings by Savorelli and Camporesi printed in light brown coloured ink with contemporary hand-colouring. Neat marginal restoration. A stunning plate from "Logge di Rafaele nel Vaticano": with contemporary colouring of the highest quality from the golden age of the hand-coloured print. The scene in the main panel shows the three angels that appeared to Abraham and told him that he and his wife Sarah will have a son.<br/> <br/>A very fine image from the second part of a work titled "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" depicting the decorative work executed by Raphael and his assistants between 1518-1519 in the Vatican. They were drawn by Gaetano Savorelli a Roman painter and draughtsman best known for his Raphael drawings and Pietro Camporesi a Roman architect who worked for Pope Clemens XIII and Pius VI on rooms for the Vatican Museum. The first to illustrate the famous frescoes these beautiful plates were probably planned as early as 1760 but were not executed until 1772 to 1776. The plate is remarkable not only as the first important visual record of Raphael's work but also for the quality of the hand-colouring - the work on this image is in our opinion some of the greatest to be produced in Europe during the whole of the eighteenth century: the golden age of the hand-coloured print. They were remarkable not just for their size and magnificent colouring but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to "borrow" elements from Raphael's Vatican tapestries and insert them where the original frescoes were in too poor a state to be legible. The finished plates therefore represented an amalgam of design elements presented with a crisp freshness of colour that held enormous appeal and did much to stimulate the taste for the "grotesque" in the Neo-classical period. A year after the death of his principal patron Julius II Raphael succeeded Donato Bramante in 1514 as the official Vatican architect. Having previously adorned the "Stanze" or chambers of Julius on the second floor of the papal apartments in the Vatican palace he was commissioned by Leo X in 1517 to decorate the adjacent Logge. He designed an elaborate cycle of ornamental frescoes for the room's ceiling vaults doors and auxiliary pillars which were executed by his assistants Giulio Romano and Giovanni da Udine. Twelve of the quadrilateral ceiling vaults were adorned with murals of familiar Old Testament scenes and one with a scene from the New Testament while the more decorative frescoes painted on the pilasters by Udine were covered with imaginative compositions of 'grotesque' motifs like foliage fruit and chimerical beasts.<br/> <br/>Cf.

Many were paintings and drawings but some were books letters etc. not pictured. With an introduction covering several topics including Sir Charles Hanbury Williams The Raphael copy for Northumberland House Paintings for British Patrons British Commissions and Contacts in Rome and much more. WIth a chronology of Meng's life and the catalogue of works annotated. " During his lifetime Anton Raphael Mengs 1728-79 was considered one of the most important painters in Europe but his reputation declined with the rise of Romanticism and has only begun to recover in recent years. Born in Aussig and brought up in Dresden he became Principal Painter to the royal courts of Saxony and Madrid but his main base was to be Rome. He never visited Great Britain refusing out of loyalty to his King the invitations he received to come and work here. Through the diplomat Sir Charles Hanbury Williams in Dresden Mengs was introduced to key members of the British circle in Florence such as the ambassador Sir Horace Mann who provided a crucial link between British travellers and the artistic circles of Rome. This was of course the heyday of the British Grand Tour and in many ways it was unnecessary for Mengs to go to Britain - Britain in the wealthy form of its youthful aristocracy came to him. As the Seven Years' War cut off Mengs's official source of income from the Elector of Saxony he was probably grateful to be able to turn to the lucrative field of Grand Tour portraiture. Mengs quickly became one of the central figures of the Neoclassical 'set' that gathered round the great German antiquarian Winckelmann. His studio was open to all and this period saw figures like Richard Wilson a friend whose portrait Mengs painted Robert Adam Allan Ramsay Robert Wood James 'Athenian' Stuart Piranesi and of course Mengs's great rival in the field of Grand Tour portraits Pompeo Batoni all at work and sharing ideas and tastes. Thomas Jenkins artist and the most famous dealer of the time was another friend. In this intellectual climate Mengs produced works for like-minded British patrons which were to have a strong influence on art in this country like the enormous copy after Raphael's School of Athens for Northumberland House now in the Victoria and Albert Museum and Augustus and Cleopatra finished in 1761 for Henry Hoare of Stourhead - one of the crucial foundation works of Neo-classicism. Encouraged by Winckelmann Mengs committed his theory of art to paper and through works like his Gedanken uber die Schonheit which was to be translated into every major European language including English in 1792 his fame and influence spread. During the long eclipse of Mengs's reputation many of his paintings lay hidden in British collections to survive and finally be rediscovered; in some cases these works had been considered lost. This catalogue to accompany the exhibition 'Anton Raphael Mengs and his British Patrons' at the Iveagh Bequest Kenwood illustrates such works and it is hoped that as a result of it more 'lost' works will be unearthed." -website.

In this pathbreaking study Polish emigre Raphael Lemkin 1900-1959 coined the term "genocide" and defined it as a subject of international law. While the term has come to mean the extermination of a people Lemkin used it to describe all programs that sought to increase "Aryan" birthrate while working to exterminate the social cultural and economic independence of non-Germanic peoples. This study was an elaboration of ideas he first proposed in 1933 in his address to the Fifth International Conference for the Unification of Penal Law 1933 which argued that attacks on racial religious and ethnic groups should be considered international crimes. Important for the prosecution of the Nazis it helped to establish the framework for all subsequent efforts to punish crimes against humanity. unknown books
