Italian coins BOLOGNA Annibale II Bentivoglio (1511-1512) Duchy - CNI 250 AU (g 3.46) RRRR Annibale Bentivoglio, son of John II, succeeded in seizing, with his partisans, Bologna, which he ruled for a year. He certainly knew he would not be able to maintain that position unless he convinced Julius II to recognize it, so after an initial fasedi open rebellion, he sought an agreement with the pontiff. Despite his efforts, Julius II had no intention of coming to terms with him and, with the military help of the King of Naples, managed to drive him out as he had done his father. It is likely that Hannibal, unable to issue coins in Julius II's name without his permission, issued some independently. The punch used to imprint St. Peter was changed significantly after the arrival in Bologna of the new cardinal legate Giovanni Medici. While previously the robe was depicted as long to the point of hiding the feet, it was later shown shorter, with the ankles uncovered. Since it is unlikely that Giovanni Bentivoglio II issued anonymous ducats without his own coat of arms or that of the pontiff at the end of his rule, it is believed that this golden bolognino must be attributed to Hannibal II. And those with the short robe without any armlet are assignable to the Vacant Sees following the pontificate of Leo X. A coin of great rarity and superb quality, especially the D/, which has reliefs practically intact and perfectly impressed. The only specimen, other than this one, that we have been able to find , turns out to be the one in the Künker auction of 2022, mis-catalogued under Clement VII and which, in BB+ conservation, realized 3200 euros + fees. - qFDC/ M.of SPL

Willi Sitte (1921 Kratzau - 2017 Halle/S.) "Danae". Original title With his expressive-realistic, lasciviously erotic Danae receiving the golden rain, partly executed in impasto, Sitte revisited an old theme from Greek mythology that had fascinated artists since the Renaissance - be it Titian or Gustav Klimt. In Sitte's own oeuvre, too, erotic depictions of almost baroque carnality and carnal lust are among the central motifs, both in paintings and prints. Alongside the founders of the Leipzig School - Bernhard Heisig (1925 - 2011), Wolfgang Mattheuer (1927 - 2004) and Werner Tübke (1929 - 2004) - Sitte was also one of the most important, prominent, internationally renowned and controversial representatives of fine art in the GDR as a "state painter". In 1951, Sitte received a teaching position at the Burg Giebichenstein Academy of Art in Halle an der Saale, where he was appointed professor in 1959. In 1969, he was elected a full member of the German Academy of Arts, which he was until 1991; from 1974 to 1988, he also served as president of the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR (VBK-DDR). Because of his commitment to communism, his party career in the SED and his contradictory attitude towards the SED dictatorship, Sitte's works and exhibitions sometimes triggered major public discussions after reunification, although he was also one of the most influential defenders of a certain artistic freedom in the GDR and his works often did not correspond at all to the party's official ideas of "Socialist Realism". Oil/hard fiber. Signed a. r. a. dat. (19)98. Titled verso. 75 cm x 115 cm. Frame. Provenance: German private collection, acquired from the artist. Oil on masonite. Signed and dated (19)98. Titled on the reverse.

Margaret Thatcher Typed Letter Signed as Prime Minister on the "Report of the Warnock Committee" TLS as Prime Minister, signed “Yours sincerely, Margaret Thatcher,” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, 10 Downing Street letterhead, October 5, 1984. Letter to Mrs. M. Grandi, in full: “Thank you for your letter of the 10 August about the Report of the Warnock Committee on developments in the treatment of infertility. I recognise that many of the report's findings and proposals will cause concern to many people. Your own views about the use of human embryos in research bear this out. In the Committee itself, most members felt that some research ought to be permitted, in carefully controlled circumstances and within strict time limits, but three others were opposed to any research whatsoever. I believe the report provides the basis for informed debate on the alleviation of infertility. The views of the wider public, expressed through Parliament and in letters such as yours, will be taken fully into account. The Secretary of State for Social Services, Norman Fowler, has also invited a large number of organisations to comment on the report, in a consultation exercise which will last until the end of this year. Only then will the Government decide what steps need to be taken.” Thatcher adds the salutation in her own hand. In fine condition. The 1984 Report of the Warnock Committee, officially titled 'Report of the Committee of Inquiry into Human Fertilisation and Embryology,' was a landmark document in the United Kingdom. Chaired by Dame Mary Warnock, the committee was established to address the ethical, social, and legal issues arising from developments in the treatment of infertility, including in vitro fertilization and embryo research.
