PAIR OF 18th CENTURY PLAQUES Attributed to Enrico Hugford (1695-1771) In scagliola on a slate background, depicting harbor views animated by architecture, in later gilded wood frames, red wax armorial stamps damaged on reverse. Marks (on one): the inscription "salottino vicino al salone N°4", and "(...)ford", a printed label numbered "100". Marks on reverse (on the other): inscription "salottino piccolo vicino al salone N°3". Dimensions (unframed):17.5 x 48.5 cm (6 ¾ x 19 in.) Provenance: Former Azzoni collection, Siena. A pair of 18th century scagliola plaques, attributed to Enrico Hugford (1695-1771) This pair of plates can be attributed to Enrico Hugford (1695-1771), one of the most talented masters of scagliole in the 18th century. Born of English parents who moved to Italy around 1686 and entered the service of Grand Duke Cosimo III de Medici, Enrico Hugford (1695-1771) and his brother Ignazio (1703-1778) were important figures in mid-eighteenth-century Florence. Enrico entered the Vallombrosa Abbey in 1711 as a monk. Trained in the art of scagliole by the monks of the Abbey of Santa Reparata in Marradi, he returned to Vallombrosa, where his talent was soon appreciated and recognized. Enrico Hugford played a fundamental innovative role in the art of scagliole. Thanks to his refined technique, he achieved extreme precision. His subjects included landscapes, sea and river views with architecture and figures (cfr. A.M. Massinelli, Scagliola:l'arte della pietra di luna, Rome, 1997, pp.28-32), flowers, animals, genre scenes, portraits and stories of saints. His elegant views draw on the repertoire of 18th-century Veduism, to which he had access through the graphic works preserved in the library of the Vallombrosa monastery and among the drawings and paintings collected and marketed by his brother. Indeed, it is well known that his brother Ignazio, a passionate collector, dealer, restorer and eminent figure in 18th-century Florence, succeeded in promoting and distributing Enrico's scaglioles, particularly in the Tuscan capital. The spread of his work was also made possible by the visit of English and other Europeans to the Vallombrosa monastery on their Grand Tour. Immediately after his death in 1771, Hugford's works became sought-after collectors' items: one of his sea views was offered to Pope Clement XIV by Monsignor Cesare Massa Salazzo of Tortona and placed in the Vatican Museums. The Grand Duke of Tuscany, Pietro Leopoldo, also purchased four landscapes for the Uffizi Gallery in 1779, through the then director Giuseppe Pelli Bencivenni, from the heirs of his brother Ignazio. An aristocratic Sienese provenance On the backs of the panel frames are two fragmentary red wax stamps, which, when reconstituted, reveal the coat of arms of the Azzoni family of Siena. The ancestors of this illustrious family were Azzone di Tocchi and Pietro di Ghino, who gave rise to the Ghinazzoni branch. The presence of the Azzonis is attested as early as the 14th century in Monticiano, in the territory of Siena, where they had developed a profitable iron mining and steelmaking business. In 1380, they financed the construction of the façade of the Augustinian convent church in Monticiano, and lived in a palace in the town's main square. We would like to thank Dr. Anna Maria Massinelli for her research, which enabled us to write this note.

DODE DE LA BRUNERIE (Guillaume and family). Important collection of approximately 850 letters and documents. 18th-19th centuries. A very important collection, rich in information about the marshal and his family, as well as the history of the Dauphiné region, where the marshal was a prominent figure. - Dode de la Brunerie (Guillaume). Set of around 130 letters to his family, including 2 from Egypt, 3 from the Marseilles lazaretto on his return from the Egyptian expedition, 2 from the Austrian campaign (October 1805 and January 1806), one from the Prussian campaign (November 1806, "... since the battle, there has been no more resistance from the Prussians... we have taken almost all the corps of the Prussian army, wholesale or retail.... it's a real hunt, we're hunting them down on all sides like wild beasts, and they're surrendering like sheep"), one from the Polish campaign (1807), 3 from Spain (1809-1810, "those enraged men from Saragossa who gave us so much trouble for two months have finally tired of a war whose relentlessness is unparalleled; they've surrendered... I do not regret this circumstance, because I took an active part in it, and I believe I contributed something to the success..."), 2 from the Russian campaign (Königsberg and Elbing, December 1812), one from Italy (March 1814, "You would like to see this Italian army in France, but it is much more useful here. It contains two enemy armies twice as numerous..."), one from Spain (1823, "We continue our triumphal march amid acclamations, dances, songs and demonstrations of all kinds of joy carried to the last degree of exaltation..."). I thought that seven years of war and occupation of Spain by the Franks and the English... had greatly changed the ideas of the Spanish people and considerably reduced the influence of the clergy on their opinion... Cities are rare in this country, and enlightened people are even rarer in cities. So the influence of the clergy had no difficulty in making this ignorant and stupefied people cry 'Long live the absolute king'..."). With a few autograph notes and drawings concerning private affairs. - Correspondence received, mainly by Guillaume Dode de La Brunerie, some 230 letters from French and foreign personalities: Grand Marshal Henri-Gatien Bertrand (1841), Minister of the Interior Lazare Carnot (1815, secretary's signature, concerning the dispatch of a copy of the Description de l'Égypte), General François Joseph Kirgener de Planta (1809-1810), Minister of the Interior Camille de Montalivet (1837), General Nicolas Oudinot (1849, thanks for congratulations on the expedition to Rome which he commanded in chief), general Joseph Rogniat (1823), general duke Ignacio Jaime de Sotomayor (1811, chamberlain and grand master of ceremonies to King Joseph Bonaparte), politician and historian Adolphe Thiers (1841, concerning the loan of documents relating to the history of the Revolution and Empire), future marshal Jean-Baptiste Philibert Vaillant (1849), and so on. Around a hundred of these letters congratulate Guillaume Dode de La Brunerie on his elevation to the rank of Marshal (1847). They are addressed to him by the future Marshal de Castellane, Baron Pierre-Paul Denniée, Charles Auguste Frossard (future general, future aide-de-camp to Napoleon III and future governor of the Prince Impérial), General Gaspard Gourgaud (Napoleon I's former companion in exile on St. Helena), General d'Empire Jean-Gabriel Marchand, General Auguste Moreau, future Marshal Adolphe Niel, Admiral Albin Roussin, future Marshal Jean-Baptiste-Philibert Vaillant, and more.
