ITALIAN, ROMAN MID 16TH CENTURY: GUGLIELMO DELLA PORTA (C.1500-1577) AND HIS CLOSE CIRCLE
ITALIANO, ROMANO METÀ DEL XVI SECOLO: GUGLIELMO DELLA PORTA (1500-1577 CIRCA) E LA SUA CERCHIA RISTRETTA CRISTO ALLA COLONNA statuetta in argento, con superficie della pelle minutamente granulata, alta 8 cm, che poggia su una colonna corinzia scanalata in argento dorato su un plinto rettangolare, alta 13 cm. (5 1/8 in) di altezza. La figura è posta in diagonale a 45 gradi rispetto al plinto quadrato sottostante, montata nel suo tabernacolo originale, tardo manierista, in ebano, con applicazioni in argento dorato raffiguranti (in alto) la Colomba dello Spirito Santo che scende su un motivo integrale di raggi luminosi; con (agli angoli superiori e sotto il centro) tre Cherubini; e il tabernacolo fiancheggiato da una coppia di volute in metallo repousse, precedentemente argentate. Anche se leggermente più decorato, questo tabernacolo in ebano è strettamente correlato nello stile a quello del Monte Calvario in argento del Monastero di El Escorial, Madrid (inv. 10048054), cfr.

Esempi con Cristo in un drammatico contrapposto1] Cambridge, Fitzwilliam Museum: Bewathed by C.B. Marlay, 1912, No. Mar M.265-1912(Avery, V. 2002, No. 19, pp. 151-153) - vedi Fig.22] Firenze, Museo Nazionale del Bargello: Carrand Bequest, n. 752, argento, altezza 9,5 cm (cfr. R. Coppel, C. Avery & M. Estella, Madrid, 2012, fig. 45, p. 88)3] Precedentemente nella collezione del signor George Durlacher di Hilcote, Lancaster Road, Wimbledon, e poi della sua vedova (venduto da Sotheby's, 9 novembre 1938, lotto 100). Victoria Avery, nel suo catalogo del 2002 dei bronzi del Fitzwilliam Museum di Cambridge, ha scritto di questo esemplare come segue (Immagine 3): Questa figurina d'argento inedita è chiaramente derivata da un modello di Guglielmo della Porta, uno scultore e bronzista lombardo che si formò a Milano sotto la guida del padre e poi lavorò a Genova, prima di stabilirsi a Roma dove trovò grande favore presso papa Giulio III Farnese. Nel 1547 Guglielmo fu nominato membro dell'Ufficio del sigillo pontificio, carica che mantenne fino alla morte, avvenuta nel 1577. Il Cristo del Fitzwilliam è identico per tipologia, proporzioni allungate e posa al protagonista libero di una composizione multifigurale in altorilievo della Flagellazione di Cristo del Victoria & Albert Museum di Londra (cfr. immagine.2) [come l'esemplare già Durlacher]. La composizione ad altorilievo deriva da un foglio di cinque schizzi di rapida esecuzione, ma sensibili, iniziati a gesso e rifiniti a penna e inchiostro per la Passione di Cristo (Gramberg, 1964, Small Sketchbook, p. 82). Due rappresentano scene della Flagellazione, mentre tre sono stralci della figura centrale di Cristo alla colonna. Quello in basso a destra è il più vicino alla figura scolpita (Immagine 4). Tuttavia, Rosario Coppel, nel catalogo completo delle opere di Della Porta presentato nel 2012 da Coll & Cortes (figg. 35 e 48-49), è stato il primo a descrivere una statuetta d'argento realizzata separatamente, di dimensioni praticamente identiche (8,6 cm) alla nostra (8 cm), in un'altra rappresentazione della Flagellazione, più grande ed eterogenea, inserita in una cornice ottagonale d'ebano con una varietà di ornamenti. L'autrice ha inoltre segnalato l'esistenza, in una pagina leggermente successiva, di uno schizzo separato per una figura dalla posa più sobria, che si accorda maggiormente con il "Coll & Cortes" e con la versione attuale (Immagine 6), salvo per il fatto che le mani del Salvatore sono ora legate dietro la schiena, presumibilmente per evitare di confondersi con le pieghe del perizoma sul davanti. Queste statuette di Cristo non sono così angosciosamente contorte sotto la pioggia di colpi dei suoi selvaggi carnefici come nelle scene narrative o nelle figure singole discusse in precedenza. In un saggio a parte, Charles Avery (pp. 128-29) ha osservato l'influenza di Michel su Della Porta.

Payment can be made only by the registered bidder. Payment instructions will be given on the relevant invoice or invoices. Please note that we do not accept payment by credit or debit card.
- No lot will be released and legal title will not pass to you until we have received due payment in full of all sums owed to us by you. Risk in any lot for which you are the successful bidder will pass to you on the earlier of collection of the lot by you or on your behalf, or the due date for payment for such lot.
- If you fail to make due payment for any lot we may, at our discretion and without limitation to other available remedies, bring legal proceedings against you for the unpaid sum and all associated fees and costs including professional fees (“Unpaid Sums”); retain and sell ourselves or otherwise any other lots held by us which are your property or any sums otherwise payable by us to you and use such proceeds or sums to defray the Unpaid Sums; cancel the sale, re-offer the lot and claim any shortfall and any associated costs from you; and/or pass your identity and contact details to the seller so that they can pursue legal remedies against you directly.

In this event any surplus will be paid over to you, and we will claim any shortfall from you as an Unpaid Sum.
- A lot which has been collected from our warehouse by you or a shipper acting on your behalf is deemed to have been delivered to you by us at the time of such collection.
- Lots which we believe to be covered by the CITES regulations will be marked in our catalogue, but we are not responsible for advising you on any import/export issues including without limitation CITES or the like, and customs and import fees and the like. We recommend that you acquaint yourself with any relevant issues before bidding, as we cannot accept liability for any information which we may provide you with. If you purchase a lot requiring an export license it is your responsibility to obtain it, and we cannot accept rescission of the sale or offer a refund if you are unable to so obtain a permit.
- Each seller warrants that they are the legal owner of the lot and/or have the unencumbered right to sell the lot at auction and to pass title to the successful bidder. The seller shall not be liable in the event of breach of this warranty for any amount greater than the hammer price of the lot in question. We may be liable only to the successful bidder in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us and exclude all other liability to such bidder and all third parties to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing herein shall limit your rights if any under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, or exclude our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
