Alessandro Porro, our President, was one such outstanding<br />

example. However, we sadly report that just three days<br />

after our last meeting he passed away. He was third generation<br />

at the Italian auction house Porro & C. an exceptionally gifted<br />

expert, a gentleman and a man of letters, a distinguished art<br />

historian: modest, but rich in knowledge and friendship.<br />

Th is edition is dedicated to him. Nicholas D. Lowry of Swann<br />

A pair of late 18 th century fi re-gilt bronze candelabra lights up the<br />

international Christmas auction at Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers<br />

in Copenhagen.<br />

When the doors open to the upcoming international<br />

auction auction at the end of November, you’ll be greeted by<br />

a pair of remarkable late 18 th century gilt bronze candelabra. Th e<br />

man behind them is English manufacturer and purveyor<br />

Matthew Boulton (1728–1809), who grew up in Birmingham<br />

and came to be one of the city’s central fi gures.<br />

AN ENTERPRISING ENGLISHMAN<br />

Boulton’s father ran a company that manufactured metal products,<br />

such as fi ne quality buttons and buckles for military uniforms.<br />

After the death of his father, Boulton took over the company,<br />

which was under rapid expansion as a result of the<br />

introduction of steam engines. He entered into a partnership<br />

with Scottish engineer James Watt, and together they<br />

mechanised and streamlined production. Th e modern technology<br />

also opened new doors, and the company began to mint coins<br />

for the UK and other countries.<br />

ONE OF BIRMINGHAM’S BIGWIGS<br />

Boulton was a powerful man in his day, not least because of his<br />

high-ranking position in the “Lunar Society”, a dinner club<br />

and informal learned society of prominent fi gures which formed<br />

the basis of the industrial revolution. Th e group was established<br />

by prominent men from Birmingham with an interest in art, science<br />

and theology, and included members such as James Watt,<br />

Erasmus Darwin, Josiah Wedgwood and Joseph Priestley.<br />

CANDELABRA, VASES AND FIRE-GILT BRONZE<br />

Th ings progressed well for Boulton’s company, which was now<br />

able to open new factories in Soho. In the late 1760s and early<br />

1770s, it became fashionable among the affl uent bourgeoisie to<br />

adorn their homes with decorated vases and candelabra.<br />

Boulton tried to meet this demand, entering into a partnership<br />

with the physician John Fothergill. Based on the French<br />

model, they embarked on the production of exquisite vases and<br />

candelabra of fi re-gilt bronze. Th ey were inspired by classical<br />

Greek works of art, which they borrowed from collectors and<br />

sculptors among their circle of friends. Th e results were small<br />

works of art, which remain famous and highly sought after<br />

for their beauty and unique quality to this day. Th e candelabra<br />

up for auction are part of this production.<br />

PURVEYOR TO THE BRITISH AND RUSS<strong>IA</strong>N COURTS<br />

In 1770, Boulton visited the British royal family and sold several<br />

vases to the wife of King George III, Queen Charlotte, a<br />

number of which remain in the ownership of the monarchy. However,<br />

during these years, the company failed to thrive, and the<br />

two otherwise highly enterprising gentlemen were left with an<br />

extensive stock of beautiful gilt vases and candelabra. As luck<br />

would have it, their works were to the taste of Catherine the Great<br />

of Russia, and many of the pieces were sold to the Russian<br />

Imperial Court.<br />

Bertel Th orvaldsen (1770– 1844) is one of Denmark,s best-known<br />

artists. Over 40 years he lived and worked in Rome, where he<br />

was one of the most important European representatives of neoclassical<br />

sculpture.<br />

Among his most famous works are the sculptures with<br />

motifs from ancient mythology such as Jason with the Golden<br />

Fleece, Venus, Mercury, Ganymede, Hebe, Cupid and Psyche. In<br />

addition, a series of monumental sculptures of historical fi gures,<br />

among others Pope Pius 7 in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.<br />

Th roughout his life Th orvaldsen made many portraits<br />

both as medallions and portrait busts. Th e earliest busts from<br />

Rome showed a strong inspiration from ancient portrait art. Some<br />

of his early busts from 1803– 05 relate to the heroic classicism<br />

in Th orvaldsen,s other works. From 1815 the portrait busts were<br />

MARCHESA FLORENZI<br />

Th e marble bust of Marchesa Florenzi (1802– 1870) is a vivid<br />

representation of the beautiful young lady, who entered social<br />

life at a ball in Prince Torlonia's residence in 1821. At the same<br />

party the Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria participated and<br />

he right away fell for her beauty and charm. Th ey often went to<br />

the same balls, among others in the house of the famous<br />

Pauline Borghese. Over the years King Ludwig I of Bavaria<br />

(reign 1825–48) visited Florenzi at her villa in Colombella<br />

of Ascagnano near Perugia. King Ludwig was often accompanied<br />

by artists, who were commissioned to make portraits of the<br />

young beauty. It was the King, who introduced Th orvaldsen and<br />

Florenzi to one another.<br />

In the catalogue of the estate auction of the late Th orvaldsen<br />

two busts of Marchesa Florenzi were mentioned.<br />

Today one of them is owned by Th orvaldsen's Museum in Copenhagen,<br />

the other one was bought by a private collector and is<br />

the one to be auctioned this November at Bruun Rasmussen<br />
