Jh. gegründete Akademie musste Mitte des 18. Jh. schließen. Wenige Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung dieses seltenen Leitfadens wurde kein Geringerer als Bartolomeo Cesi zum Zeichenlehrer an der Accademia ernannt, und später trat eine der gelehrtesten Frauen aller Zeiten, Christina Roccati (1732-1797), dem Lehrkörper bei.

Founded in the mid-16th century, the academy was forced to close in the mid-18th century. A few years after the publication of this rare guide, no less a figure than Bartolomeo Cesi was appointed drawing teacher at the Accademia, and later one of the most learned women of all time, Christina Roccati (1732-1797), joined the teaching staff. The text itself, divided into 58 headings ("capitoli"), provides a fascinating insight into the ideal of a nobleman's education. - Spotting throughout. Overall well preserved.

An Isoko Mask Mask Isoko, Nigeria Mit Sockel / with base Wood, rattan. H 38 cm. Provenance: - Thierry Santos, Paris. - Galerie Alain & Abla Lecomte, Paris. - 2006: Private collection in French-speaking Switzerland. A certificate from the Galerie Lecomte (2006) will be given to the buyer. Unsold at Sotheby's Paris (09.04.2022, "Living Contemporary", lot 14) with an estimate of € 5'000-7'000. An identical (?) mask is described by Philip M. Peek in "For Spirits and Kings - African art from the Paul and Ruth Tishman Collection" as follows: 82. MASK FOR ERESE FESTIVAL Nigeria, Igbo-Isoko, Bendel State, Ase village Wood, raffa, cowrie sbells, brass tacks, H. 11¾ in. (29.8 cm.) 1940-60? This mask is virtually identical to one of three headdresses recorded in Ase, Bendel State, Nigeria, in 1971 (see fig. 30). The three are owned by Odiri, priest of Onye-uku-Ekukeni, the major clan deity for warfare. Fach mask is topped by a joined pair of unidentified animals further honoring the deity. Worn by masqueraders covered with feathers and colorful head scarves, such headdresses are the focus of the Erese festival celebrated each March to cleanse the town before other festivals can be held. This ceremony is properly known as Erese Okpokponso (from the Isoko kpo, "go," and Igbo nso, "forbidden," or "to move/drive away forbidden things"). The combination of Isoko and Igbo terms reflects Ase's complex history. The ancestors of Ase's founders left Benin centuries ago and gradually, over many generations, moved down the Niger River. Reaching the junction of the Niger and Ase rivers, two brothers went up the Ase and settled. The senior brother soon left to find what was to become the Isoko town of Aviara. For years Ase remained "junior" to Aviara, but later became affiliated with the powerful Ndosimili Igbo town of Abo. Ase now considers itself completely Igbo. A further reflection of the difficulty in tracing the origins of Niger delta and riverain communities is that Ekukeni quarter, where the creators of the Erese festival live, was settled by migrants from Erohwa, an ancient clan now linked to the Isoko but predating even the Ijo in the western Niger delta.
