Olympic Games/ summer, 1896/ Athens/ Three major pieces about the first Olympic champion in modern history, American student James Brendan Connolly (1868-1957): a) "An Olympic Victor, a study of the modern games", by James Brendan Connolly, illutrated cover, the Athens Parthenon, with six illustrations by André Castaigne (1861-1929). 1908, 186 pages (original edition) b) small handwritten letter from 1906, with fine signature by James B. Connolly (very, very rare); c) "Sea Borne, thirty years Avoyaging" by James B.Connolly, 1944, 246 pages. The first Olympic champion in history (April 6, 1896, in the triple jump, with 13m71) was also a remarkable journalist and writer, author of some twenty novels. Before being awarded the Pulitzer Prize, he had opened the new Olympic prize list, and even improved it by finishing 2nd in the high jump (1m65) and 3rd in the long jump (6m11) (his book tells the story). In 1900, in Paris, he tripled his performance (13m97), finishing 2nd. It should be noted that he was only 1.52 m tall, and that in 1896, at the age of 27, he had to break his student contract at Harvard to go to Athens. In other words, this original collection on an extraordinary athlete (four-time Olympic medallist and Pulitzer Prize winner) is exceptional. From the account of his fabulous initial experience to his consecration, or the springboard sport for a triple jumper, what could be more banal?

Maître de "Los Santos Juanes" (Actif en Castille entre 1525- 1550) École gothique médiévale espagnole du XVe siècle. Monumental oil on panel measuring 145 x 95 cm in outstanding state of conservation and polychrome of origin, the scene with which this work delights us represents the painting depicts Pope St. Gregory the Great, when in the year 590 an epidemic of plague was declared in Rome, which caused numerous deaths. For this reason the Pontiff organized a great procession. Arriving at the Bridge of Helium (today the Bridge of Sant'Angelo), in front of the Castellum Crescentii (ancient mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian), the miracle took place. Pope Gregory looked towards the top of the castle, and there he observed the great figure of the archangel St. Michael, sheathing his sword, who welcomes them, very possibly being a commemorative commission from the Archbishopric to the master from Palencia to decorate a newly built church or cathedral.
