* ENZO PLAZZOTTA (ITALIAN 1921 - 1981), SPIRIT OF FREEDOM bronze sculpture with rich brown patina, stamped with the Plazzotta seal and numbered 34 inscribed title to plaque, on marble base 33cm high Provenance: Enzo Plazzotta Catalogue Raisonne No 329 illustrated page 171.Note: Enzo Plazzotta was born in Mestre, near Venice, in 1921 and spent his student days in Milan studying sculptural drawing and modelling under Giocomo Manzu at the Academia di Brera, and architecture at the Politecnicao. He decided to specialise in sculpture, but his studies were interrupted by World War ll. Plazzotta became a member of the Italian Resistance Movement and fought in the Ossola region as a partisan. He was captured as a result of a secret political meeting held in Milan and spent nearly a year in solitary confinement. While being transferred to a German prisoner of war camp, however, he managed to escape and rejoin the partisans. Plazzotta was engaged in guerrilla activities and in conjunction with the British Special Forces was on the organising end of a clandestine escape route for Jews and escaped Allied prisoners of war en route from Italy to Switzerland. Through these contacts with British Intelligence he was involved in the repatriation of Ferruccio Parri, the leader of the Italian Resistance, from Switzerland to Italy. Parri later became Italy's first prime minister after the war ended. Plazzotta's wartime record won him the Silver Medal for Military Valour. After the war, Plazzotta resumed his studies in Milan, and in 1947 received his first commission, appropriately enough from the Italian Committee of Liberation. This was to be their tribute to their successful wartime collaboration with the British Special Forces. The bronze sculpture was entitled Spirit of Rebellion and depicted the boy David with the head of Goliath. Plazzotta himself was chosen to make the presentation to the Special Forces Club headquarters in London, and the bronze still has a place of honour there today. This first visit to London played a major part in shaping Plazzotta's career, for he quickly decided to make London his permanent place of residence. From his first studio in London he received several portrait commissions and, in 1949, held his first exhibition at the former Brook Street Gallery, to be followed by many others. "Spirit of Freedom" was also commissioned by The Special Forces Club (London) as confirmed in the Catalogue Raisonne. One of his first public commissions was a monument to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Lewes, and after this time he began to explore the themes for which he has become well known, specialising in studies of dance, the horse and the female form – all of which exude vitality and movement. His style, based on the classical lines of the Renaissance, reflects perfectly his own admiration for such great masters as Michelangelo and Rodin. He lived in Chelsea and worked from the studio formerly owned by the late Sir Charles Wheeler. Major public sculptures by Enzo Plazzotta include: Camargue Horses, on the Waterside Terrace at The Barbican Centre, London; The Cruxifixion, in the College Gardens of Westminster Abbey; Homage to Leonardo. Belgrave Square, London; Jeté, on the corner of 46 -57 Millbank, Westminster, London; The Hand of Christ, Dinand Library at the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA; The Helmet, Lewes Priory; Two Brothers, Boys Town, Nebraska, USA; Young Dancer, Royal Opera House, Broad Street, London. The estate of Enzo Plazzotta is handled by Chris Beetles Gallery (London) and their website at the time of writing shows "Spirit of Freedom" priced at £2750.

William Emmott, Royal Horse Guards.) fitted with contemporary replacement silver clip and bar suspension, latter part of rank erased, edge bruising and contact marks, fine and better £3,600-£4,400 --- William Emmott was born in the Parish of Trawdon, near Colne, Lancaster, and enlisted into the Royal Horse Guards on 12 March 1811, aged 20. He served with the Blues in the Peninsula at the battles of Vittoria and Toulouse, and as a Corporal at Waterloo. He was commissioned as Quartermaster in the Royal Horse Guards on 25 September 1828, and retired on half-pay on 31 December 1831. He was afterwards drill Sergeant to Lord Villiers’ Bicester Troop of the Oxford Yeomanry Cavalry before being appointed Captain and Adjutant of the Worcester Yeomanry Cavalry by Lord Plymouth, serving in that capacity until his death on 14 April 1865, During this period the WYC was very actively engaged with the frequent riots and protests of the times, including the Bristol, Worcester and Staffordshire riots of 1831 and the Chartist riots of 1842, much of which is described in a letter of petition from Emmett in February 1859 (copy sold with the lot). Captain Emmott was buried at Tardebigge, the funeral being attended by Lord Lyttelton, the Lord Lieutenant, the Bromsgrove and Redditch Companies of Rifle Volunteers, and 450 of the Worcester Yeomanry Cavalry with the Band, under command of Lord Dudley. Sold with research including a copy of his original Commission as Quartermaster and a typed copy of a 6-page letter written by Emmott describing the events following the battle of Vittoria [dated 27 October 1813], these both being held by the Household Cavalry Museum. Emmot’s two-clasp M.G.S. medal is held by the National Army Museum, Chelsea, London. A fine portrait of Captain Emmott mounted on his favourite charger by Sir Francis Grant can be found in the history of the Worcester Yeomanry Cavalry.
