Antonio Alberto Nunes (Lisbon, 1838-1912) 'La Primavera'(Spring), 1889 White Carrara marble H 163 cm Signed and dated on the base 'Alberto Nunes / 1889' Provenance: commission by João Maria Correia Ayres de Campos, later 1st Count of Ameal (1847–1920), Coimbra; collection of the Count of Ameal, Coimbra; sale of the Collection of the Count of Ameal, July 1921, lot 1 (Printemps) Literature: J. B. d’Oliveira, 'Alberto Nunes - Esculptor portuguez', O Occidente: Revista Illustrada de Portugal e do Estrangeiro, vol. XXXVI, n° 1253-1255, Lisbon, 20 October-10 November 1913, pp. 332-347; Vente d’Objets d’Art - Collections 'Comte d’Ameal', July 1921, lot 1, Printemps This important life-size marble figure represents Spring as a young woman crowning herself with flowers. With both arms raised, she ties the ribbon of a floral garland around her hair, while a finely carved drapery falls from her shoulder and is gathered around her waist. La Primavera was commissioned directly from Antonio Alberto Nunes by João Maria Correia Ayres de Campos, later 1st Count of Ameal (1847-1920), the distinguished Portuguese collector and humanist based in Coimbra. The circumstances surrounding the commission and the creation of the sculpture are documented in the contemporary Portuguese illustrated journal O Occidente. The article describes Ayres de Campos approaching Nunes to commission 'a statue of a woman' and subsequently identifies the completed composition as Primavera. It describes 'a beautiful young woman crowning herself with flowers', with her arms raised as she ties the ribbon of the garland, and records the importance of the commission for the sculptor’s career. The sculpture subsequently remained in the Collection of the Count of Ameal, Coimbra. It is documented in the catalogue of the sale of the Ameal Collection in July 1921 as lot 1, under its French title Printemps, where it is described as a statue in Carrara marble by Alberto Nunes, measuring 1.63 metres in height.

Heutink Ikonen
Year Icon (Menologion) Russia, late 19th century Egg tempera on gesso on linen-covered wood 35.5 x 30.5 cm Provenance: private collection, Germany This beautifully painted year icon (menologion) brings together the entire Orthodox liturgical year in a single composition. The twelve months are divided into separate sections, each depicting the saints and feast days commemorated throughout the calendar year. At the centre of the composition is the Anastasis (the Resurrection of Christ), surrounded by scenes relating to the Church’s movable feasts, including the Ascension and Pentecost, as well as scenes from Christ’s Passion. Along the edge are numerous venerated images of the Mother of God - each associated with its own feast day in the church year. This icon stands out for its unusually compact size. Despite its modest dimensions, the painter has succeeded in incorporating an exceptionally extensive iconographic programme without compromising on clarity or refinement. Hundreds of figures, scenes and inscriptions are depicted with remarkable precision and virtuosity. Thanks to its good preservation, even the smallest of details remain clearly visible.

The Upright Motives were part of a large commission for the courtyard of the new Olivetti building in Milan. When he visited the site, 'a lone Lombardy poplar growing behind the building convinced me that a vertical work would act as the correct counterfoil to the horizontal rhythm of the building. This idea ultimately grew into the: Upright Motifs.'
