拍品描述
Late 11th-12th century AD. A substantial bronze lion probably from the base of a lamp or pricket candlestick, the body modelled in a strong stance, with short legs, shallow paws, large eyes emerging under a voluminous mane, sculpted with full curls with scroll-like endings a notch at three sides in the middle of the body indicating that the lion served as foot for a larger object. See Swarzenski, G., A Romanesque Aquamanile in the Guennol Collection in Brooklyn Museum Bulletin 4:1-10, New York, 1949 Glass, A., ?A Medieval Bronze Lion? in Gesta, Pre-Serial Issue. Annual of the International Center of Romanesque Art Inc., Chicago, 1963, pp.1-3 Gabrieli, F. & Scerrato, U., Gli Arabi in Italia, Milano, 1989. 2.8 kg, 17cm (6 3/4"). Property of a gentleman from Vienna from his private collection formed since 1970 this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10955-179098. Lions were a favourite subject of Roman art and frequently appeared on cornices and on enriched mouldings. Sometimes they served as elements of waterspouts in the atria of Roman houses. The use of the lion head as a decorative element declined in the west in the 5th century AD, but was revived again in the 9th century in Carolingian art (see the bronze doors at Aachen"). Swarzenski said that the artistic aims of Romanesque sculpture found their purest expression in these small works in metal, enamel and miniature painting which often surpass the official formal achievements of the monumental arts.
