John Van Nost: An important and rare lead figure of a swan early 18th century beak plumbed for water 94cm.; 37ins high The van Nosts were a family of sculptors of Flemish descent. The eldest, John van Nost, is first recorded working at Windsor Castle circa 1678. He had his own yard in Haymarket, London by about 1687 and manufactured ‘Marble and Leaden figures, Busto’s and noble Vases, Marble chimneypieces and curious Marble tables’, however he is best remembered as a supplier of lead garden statuary. One of his earliest patrons was Thomas Coke of Melbourne Hall, Vice Chamberlain to Queen Anne, for whom he supplied a large quantity of lead statuary and decoration in 1700. This included £10 |for a boy and swan for a fountain, the swan in proportion to the boy, no bigger than the young Triton| whilst a |duck and swan as big as ye life| cost £8. Van Nost went on to furnish with sculpture some of the most important gardens in the country including Hampton Court, Buckingham House, Castle Howard and Wrest Park. The quality of casting and chiselling on this extremely rare piece would certainly suggest an attribution to Van Nost and of the other suppliers of lead in the 18th century, including John Cheere, and Andrew Carpenter, no other lead models of swans are recorded.
After Giambologna: A white marble figure of the Grotticelli Venus Italian, 2nd half 19th century 180cm.; 71ins high Giambologna was born in Douai Flanders (now in France). After youthful studies in Antwerp with the architect-sculptor Jacques du Broeucq, he moved to Italy in 1550, and studied in Rome. Giambologna made detailed study of the sculpture of classical antiquity. He was also much influenced by Michelangelo, but developed his own Mannerist style, with perhaps less emphasis on emotion and more emphasis on refined surfaces, cool elegance and beauty. Giambologna spent his most productive years in Florence, where he had settled in 1553. Ten years later, he was named a member (Accademico) of the prestigious Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, just founded by the Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici in January 1563, under the influence of the painter-architect Giorgio Vasari, becoming also one of the Medici most important court sculptors. Giambologna’s several depictions of Venus established a canon of proportions and set models for the goddess’s representation that were influential for two generations of sculptors, in Italy and in the North. This figure is often paired with the Cesarini Venus carved in 1582. Some ten years before he carved the Cesarini Venus, Giambologna had completed another marble Venus for Prince, later Grand Duke, Francesco de’ Medici, who kept it in his bedroom. After his death, it was installed in 1592 by his brother Ferdinando, who succeeded him, in the third chamber of the protto designed by Bernardo Buontalenti in the Boboli Gardens in Florence. Because this chamber was called the Grotticella, the statue became known as the Grotticella Venus.
