1700ABC_49540Japan 1700. 104 x 272 cm each illustrated panel: ca. 90.5 x 44.5 cm. Ink watercolours gold paint and gold leaf on paper. The image is surrounded by a frame of silk brocade a narrow frame in burgundy and gold and a wider frame in yellow gold and black with a clear floral pattern; together the frame is 5 cm wide the whole is mounted on six roiro black lacquered wood panels with gilt metal fittings on the outer corners of the outer panels. The panels are backed with decorative paper. A remarkable example of a Nanban byobu literal translation: Southern Barbarian screen a type of Japanese folding screen byobu depicting the arrival of Europeans especially the Portuguese in Japan during the late 16th- and early 17th centuries. It shows the vast expanse of the Portuguese seaborne empire. From their possessions along the coast of the Indian subcontinent and their lease of Macau individual Portuguese reached Japan in 1542 and were followed by traders and missionaries the most famous being Francis Xavier. Nanban art provides a unique glimpse into a period of significant cultural exchange and the Japanese perspective on the arrival of the Portuguese in their islands. While inspired by the arrival of and trade with the Portuguese in Japan before the enforcement of the isolationist foreign policy commonly known as Sakoku by the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate from 1633/1639 onwards it remained a popular subject to depict on these folding screens and in other artworks during the Edo period and beyond. The image on the present folding screen shows a large four-masted ship probably approaching the port of Nagasaki. Crew members both Portuguese and people from Portuguese possessions in the Indian subcontinent are seen furling the sails and performing remarkable acrobatic feats in the ship's rigging. The artist emphasises the balloon-like bagginess of their bombacha trousers typically associated with the Portuguese and other Europeans but focuses also on distinctive details such as heavy gold necklaces facial hair hats capes frilly white handkerchiefs and ruffled collars. The foreigners are depicted as being exotic but not scary or very "other" they are depicted as being different while still simply being human. The decoration and colours of the flags flown at the top of each mast are reminiscent of Christian symbols the Cross of Christ and Portugal's colours green and red. Cargo and passengers are offloaded into small boats that pull alongside the ship the top right corner shows a 12-point wind rose including a depiction of the globe. The whole scene is enschrouded in gold clouds.After the Sengoku period a period of practically consecutive and almost continuous civil wars and social upheavals in the 15th- and 16th centuries Japan entered a more peaceful and prosperous period. Folding screens such as the present example were used to divide larger homes and generally show of the growing wealth and prosperity of the warrior and merchant classes. The screens are finely executed in detail and using vibrant colours and copious amounts of gold paint and/or gold leaf. Thematically the painting here continues a tradition of now-lost screens of Chinese trade ships that were in vogue during the 15th- and 16th centuries at the peak of the Sino-Japanese tribute missions that brought entourages numbering in the thousands from the Ming court. The precise subject of these paintings had since shifted from Chinese trade ships to Chinese- or more general Southeast Asian-style ships carrying European including men from the European possessions in Africa and Asia crews. The scene illustrates the dynamic convergence of Eastern and Western cultures through trade around 1600. Portuguese traders first arrived in Japan in 1543 and by 1570 they had established the Bay of Nagasaki as a strategic hub for their commercial operations which were largely unregulated. They generated significant profits by exchanging Chinese silk for Japanese silver although some European goods were also part of the trade. The Portuguese carracks massive three-decked vessels weighing up to 1600 tons captivated local observers with their impressive scale unfamiliar crews and exotic cargo.Alongside these traders Jesuit missionaries sought to spread Christianity finding particular success in Kyushu where many local daimyo converted. However a Christian-led rebellion in 1638 alarmed the Tokugawa authorities raising fears of European colonial interference. As a result the Portuguese were expelled in 1639. When a Portuguese delegation attempted to restore diplomatic relations the following year all sixty members were executed. In 1640 the shogunate instituted a policy of national seclusion restricting foreign contact to limited trade with Chinese merchants a small number of Dutch traders and occasional Korean envoys. By 1650 Christianity was outlawed and any missionary work was punishable by death. The present screen is a slightly later example and the focus of the scene lies mostly on trade and the ship's crew itself and not directly on any Christian identity of the foreigners arriving on Japanese shores.This screen belongs to approximately ninety surviving Nanban screens ranking second only to capital city scenes in popularity among Japanese patrons. The earliest examples date to the 1590s and their continued production throughout the Edo period demonstrates the lasting impact of the Portuguese encounter on Japanese culture.Some minor flaking of the gold paint/gold leaf barely any soiling the decorative paper back of the work shows some traces of wear and use. The image remains clear and the colours vibrant. Overall in very good condition. This exceptional screen offers collectors an important historical document that captures both Portuguese maritime exploration and the Jesuit mission to Japan-a unique period of cultural exchange between East and West. unknown

He Was Appointed Bishop Of Aversa In 1644 The Year In Which He Also Received Episcopal Consecration. He Was Apostolic Nuncio In Catholic Switzerland In 1653 At The Republic Of Venice In 1654 And In Austria From 1658 To 1664. Pope Alexander Vii Elevated Him To The Rank Of Cardinal In The Consistory Of 14 January 1664 Assigning Him The Title Of Cardinal Presbyter Of Santa Susanna In 1665 . In 1675 He Opted For The Title Of Santa Maria In Via . He Was A Chamberlain Of The College Of Cardinals 1676-1678. An Earlier Carlo Carafa 1571-1561 Was Born At Naples Into One Of The City's Most Ancient And Distinguished Families A Younger Son Of Giovanni Alfonso Carafa Count Of Montorio And His Countess Caterina Cantelma. One Brother Was Giovanni Carafa Duke Of Palianoanother Antonio Carafa 1520-1588 Was Made Marchese Di Montebello. Without Making A Name For Himself He Had A Long And Dubious Career As A Mercenary Soldier In Italy And Germany. He Entered The Household Of Cardinal Pompeo Colonna At An Early Age As A Page And Was Enrolled In The Order Of St John Of Jerusalem Later That Of Pierluigi Farnese Duke Of Castro Later Duke Of Parma The Son Of Paul Iii. He Then Fought Under The Alfonso D'avalos Marchese Del Vasto In Lombardy And Piedmont And Under Ottavio Farnese Duke Of Parma In Flanders And Germany Fighting Protestants In The Name Of The Emperor. Here An Incident Occurred That Reinforced Perceptions Among Contemporaries For Greed Arrogance And A Violent Nature: His Possession Of A Captive Gentleman Worth A Considerable Ransom Was Challenged By A Spaniard Whose Right Was Upheld By His Compatriot The Duke Of Alba; And In The Aftermath Carlo Pursuing His Adversary To Provoke A Duel Was Incarcerated At Trento Until He Agreed Not To Pursue The Vendetta. He Was Subsequently Exiled From Naples In 1545 For Murder And Banditry And Having Withdrawn To Benevento Was Embroiled In Another AssassinationAnd Was Then Alleged To Have Perpetrated The Massacre Of Spanish Soldiers As They Recuperated In A Hospital In Corsica. Two Weeks After Giovanni Pietro Carafa Was Elected Pope As Paul Iv He Raised Carlo To The Cardinalate On 7 June 1555. His Tenure As Cardinal Nephew Was Not A Great Success And He And Paul Iv Effectively Brought The Papacy To A Humiliating Defeat Against The Spanish That Nearly Resulted In Another Sack Of Rome. Carlo's Government Proved Unpopular And He Developed A Reputation For Avarice Cruelty And Licentiousness As Well As For Homosexual Sodomy Paul Had Chastised Cardinal Ghisleri For Not Sharing His Suspicions On This Latter Point. In January 1559 Paul Finally Accepted The Accuracy Of The Accusations Made And Exiled Both His Nephews From Rome And Replaced Carlo As Cardinal Nephew With Carlo's Own Nephew Alfonso Carafa Cardinal Archbishop Of Naples. In June 1560 Paul's Successor Pope Pius Iv Arrested The Leading Members Of The Family - Carlo His Brother Duke Govanni And Their Nephew The Cardinal Archbishop Of Naples Seizing Their Papers And Levying A Range Of Charges Relating To Abuses Of Power. Carlo Was Charged With Murder Sodomy And The Promotion Of Protestantism. After A Nine-Month Trial He Was Condemned Along With His Brother And Was Executed By Strangulation At Castel Sant' Angelo On The Night Of 6 March 1561. His Execution Was Considered At The Time To Have Been Motivated Primarily By Politics. <br/> <br/> Giovanni. Battista Hacque/ Hacque, Johann Baptist unknown

Pope Clement X Latin: Clemens X; 1590 - 1676 Born Emilio Bonaventura Altieri Was Pope From 29 April 1670 To His Death In 1676. Emilio Boneventura Altieri Was Born In Rome In 1590 The Son Of Lorenzo Altieri And Victoria Delfin A Noble Venetian Lady Sister Of Flaminio Delfin Commander General Of The Papal Armies And Of Gentile Delfin Bishop Of Camerino. His Brother Was Giambattista Altieri. The Altieri Family Belonged To The Ancient Roman Nobility And Had Enjoyed The Highest Consideration At Rome For Several Centuries; They Had Occasionally Contracted Alliances With The Colonnas And The Orsinis. During Earlier Pontificates The Altieri Held Many Important Offices And Had Been Entrusted With Several Delicate Missions. All But One Of The Male Scions Of The Altieri Family Had Chosen The Ecclesiastical Career. On His Accession To The Papacy Clement X In Order To Save The Altieri Name From Extinction Adopted The Paoluzzi Family And Proposed That One Of The Paluzzi Should Marry Laura Caterina Altieri The Sole Heiress Of The Family. In Exchange For Adopting The Altieri Surname He Would Make One Of The Paoluzzi A Cardinal. Following The Wedding Which He Officiated He Appointed His Relative By Marriage Cardinal Paoluzzi-Altieri The Uncle Of Laura's New Husband To The Office Of Cardinal Nephew To Take On The Duties Which He Was Prevented From Doing By Age. The Main Activity Was To Invest The Church's Money And With Advancing Years Gradually Entrusted To Him The Management Of Affairs To Such An Extent That The Romans Said He Had Reserved To Himself Only The Episcopal Functions Of Benedicere Et Sanctificare Resigning In Favour Of The Cardinal The Administrative Duties Of Regere Et Gubernare. In 1671 The Pope Published An Edict By Which He Declared That A Noble Might Be A Merchant Without Loss Of His Nobility Provided Always That He Did Not Sell By Retail. Queen Christina Of Sweden Who Had Become A Catholic And Moved To Rome In December 1655 Made Clement X Prohibit The Custom Of Chasing Jews Through The Streets During The Carnival. In 1686 She Issued A Declaration That Roman Jews Stood Under Her Protection Signed La Regina - The Queen. <br/> <br/> Giovanni. Battista Hacque/ Hacque, Johann Baptist unknown

162134518Lisbon and Hangzhou China: Manuscripts ca.1623 and 1621. Very Rare A Similar Manuscript Exists in Brussels. We know of no others. The Latin text of both letters is written in a neat uniform cursive hand in brown. Folio leaves 33 x 20.5 cm The transcripts bound in 18th Century stiff blue wrappers the blank paste-downs and endpapers are late 18th century most likely the third quarter between 1745/1753 and 1776 since they contain a clear "lion/vryheit/pro patria" watermark with a crowned GR countermark which resembles Heawood 3148 3149 and 3154. The paper used for the manuscript contains a faint double-headed eagle watermark and it has been reinforced in the gutters. A very pleasing survival very well preserved edges slightly mellowed the wrappers show some signs of wear. VERY RARE MANUSCRIPT TRANSCRIPTS. Chrysostomus Johann Gall 1586-1643 was a German Jesuit and scholar. He left Ingolstadt Germany to teach astronomy mathematics and navigation in Lisbon fro 1620to 1627 before leaving to work in the Jesuit missions in India. The Colégio de Santo Antŕo benefitted from the arrival of many foreign mathematicians and other scholars as Lisbon serves as a gateway for all missionaries departing for Asia. The original letter by Gall was written in Lisbon September 1623 and concerns a newspaper style description of various events including details of the perseution of Christians in Japan particularly the execution of large numbers of the Christian community in Nagasaki in 1622.<br> The second letter in the present work is especially interesting as the original was written by Johannes Terentius also known as Johannes Schreck an Deng Yuhan Hanpo 1576-1630. Terentius was a prominent Jesuit scholar specialized in natural science and mathematics. Before joining the Jesuits as a novice1611 he already enjoyed a grea reputation in Germany as a scholar. In 1621 Terentius left for China to join the Jesuit mission. The original letter by Terentius was written in Hangzhou China on 30 August 1621 to the rector of teh Jesuit College in Munich Jakob Keller 1568-1631. He discusses his journey to China which he started in 1618 his intentions to participate in the planned calendar reform in China and his impressions of the city of Hangzhou which he reached in 1621 Terentius wrote several works on european medicine mathematics and technology in Chinese and together with Johann Adam Schall von Bell and G. Roho introduced European tigonometry and European astronomical instruments to China. In 1629 he began to reform the calendar which J.A. Schall von Bell ocmpleted after Terentius' early death a year later.<br><br>Backer & Sommervogel VII col. 1929-F<br> Manuscripts unknown
