ALCYONIUS, PETRUS (PIETRO ALCIONIO). C.1487-1527.:Medices legatus de exilio. Venice: Aldi, 1522.
4to (210 x 134 mm). Woodcut printer\'s device on title and colophon. 20th century red morocco, ruled in gilt, with gilt printer\'s devices reproduced on both covers, marbled endpapers. Some wear to joints, old ink notations, scattered browning and spotting.
Provenance: Giorgio di Veroli (1890-1952, bookplate).

Alcyonius, a Venetian classicist scholar under the patronage of Pope Clement VII, was appointed Professor of Classical Greek at the University of Florence in 1522. That same year, he published this work, written in the form of a dialogue whose thesis is that exile is not an evil. It was written in elegant Latin, reminiscent of Cicero, which lead to a personal enemy accusing him of secretly plagiarizing passages from Cicero\'s lost work De Gloria, and then destroying the only existing copy of the original to hide his plagiarism. Though the accusation was groundless, it did irreparable harm to his reputation. Adams A633; Brunet I, 153; Renouard 95/6.

„… der in den exzess ekstatisch abgestiegene akteur befleckt und beschüttet… die bildfläche. oft noch spontaner, als es nur auf der bildfläche gelingt, trägt sich die intensität auf dem hemd zu. es wird automatisch befleckt, besudelt, beschmutzt, betappt, beschmiert, beschüttet, bespritzt… es ist, als ob der unsere abgründe eröffnende maler beim malvorgang in die nähe des blutschwitzens, des austrinkens des leidenskelches, der geisselung, der kreuzigung, der zerreissung des dionysos, der blendung des ödipus gerät. sein priesterkleid, sein opferhemd ist geprägt vom feuchten stempel der entäusserung… des hemd wird als höchster schmuck und trophäe auf ein bild gehängt, um dessen farbgefüge zu bereichern. es gibt bilder, die brauchen kein hemd, andere verlangen danach…“
Hermann Nitsch – aus der oben angeführten Literatur

“... the actor, ecstatically descended into the excess, stains and pours things onto … the surface of the image. often it’s even more spontaneous than just hitting the surface of the image, striking his shirt in its intensity, too. it’s automatically stained, sullied, dirtied, touched, smeared; it automatically has things poured onto it, sprayed onto it... it’s as if the painter, opening up our deepest depths, is almost sweating blood when he paints, almost drinking from the chalice of grief, flagellation, crucifixion, the dismemberment of dionysus, the blinding of oedipus. his priestly robes, his victim’s shirt is marked by the moistened stamp of renunciation. the shirt is hung on an image, enriching the texture of its colours, as if it were the most precious piece of jewellery, a trophy. there are some images that don’t need a shirt, but others demand it…”

HUGI, FRANZ JOSEPH. 1791-1855.:Naturhistorische Alpenreise. Solothurn and Leipzig: J. Amiet-Lutiger, 1830.
8vo (197 x 125 mm). Engraved frontispiece, additional engraved vignette title page, 9 folding tables, 16 lithographic plates (5 folding), 2 hand-colored folding engraved maps. Contemporary marbled boards, hand-inked paper lettering piece on spine. Spine ends bumped and chipped, a bit worn, scattered spotting, some curling and browning to edges of folding plates.

Swiss geologist and professor Hugi made the first scientific study of Alpine glaciers and was a member of the first party to attempt climbing the Finsteraarhorn in the Bernese Alps in 1829, although he did not reach the summit himself. The title page vignette depicts the construction of a hut on the Unteraar glacier in 1830, which is marked on one of the maps. This proved to have an unintended scientific benefit, as the movement of the hut down the glacier over the next several years would yield valuable information about glacial movement.

The subject of the painting always drives from the previous painting, hence there is no reason for inspiration. One tries again, keeps on trying to do what he has already done…
Piero Dorazio

Of all the great first and second generation 美国 painters I have known since 1953 (the third generation is not yet discernable), Kenneth Noland is a truly singular case.

He is from North Carolina and Washington, i.e. the provinces, rather than the artistic milieu of New York.

[...]In the 1950s and 1960s I never understood whether some artistic circles in the Metropolis or certain isolated artists like Kenneth Noland and Morris Louis, Georgia O\'Keeffe in New Mexico or Andrew Wyeth in Pennsylvania were more provincial. Although isolated, Louis and Noland were already the most modern of modern 美国 painters in the early 1960s. They were a surprising revelation when discovered and presented by the critic Clement Greenberg at the 法国 and Co. Gallery in New York. Their exhibitions in that gallery between \'59 and \'60 remain by far the most exciting of the decade.

Kenneth Noland\'s painting has nothing to do, therefore, with all the clichés of 美国 painting disseminated here by European critics who have framed all expressions into schools or categories or groups (Action Painting, New Dada, Abstract expressionism, Pop Art, Minimal Art etc.) letting what were actually the most creative values and personalities slip through their fingers. [...]

Ken Noland established himself, from the late 1960s and 1970s, among those few artists defined as \'Colour field painters\' or \'Post Painterly Abstraction\' not as a group but rather as a trend: Helen Frankenhaler, Morris Louis, Jules Olitsky, Friedel Dzubas, Larry Poons. There was a convergence of interests among these painters for colour as an element that defines large spaces and long periods of time for the observer, who is induced to meditate because he is immersed in the rhythm of the lines and chromatic masses of a truly abstract painting, devoid of any allusion or reference to the real, the metaphysical or the subjective temperament. Painting that refers on the one hand to the decorative character of early Matisse, and on the other to the secular spirit of Constructivism. Among those painters, Noland was always the one who, with tenacity and clarity of purpose, was best able to sublimate \'pure visibility\' into a highly lyrical personal poetics. His nature as a colourist and his technique inspired his constant formal research into surface-colour and material-colour relationships. [...]

In these works chromatic fantasy and refined sensitivity, arranged in a precise structural order, bring the brushstrokes and pictorial matter to life in decisive and delicate spaces and lights and rhythms, expressing a constant reflection on the inevitable characteristics of reality. Constancy and appearance, the negative and the positive, fullness and emptiness; our gaze is entertained and delighted by this repertoire of perception, emotion and mind.

FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH with the often lacking portrait of the author. \"Harvey considered this to be the culminating work of his life, and more significant than de Motu Cordis. ... Harvey was among the first to disbelieve the erroneous doctrine of the \'preformation\' of the foetus; he maintained that the organism derives from the ovum by the gradual building up and aggregation of its parts. The chapter on midwifery in this book is the first work on that subject to be written by an Englishman\" (Garrison-Morton-Norman 467, 1651 edition in Latin). Keynes 43; Russell 384; Wing H-1083.

Valerio Adami * - Zeitgenössische Kunst I-

(born in Bologna in 1935)
The Guggenheim, 1968, dated, signed and titled on the reverse, oil on canvas, 97 x 130 cm, framed

This work is registered in the Archivio Valerio Adami

This work is accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist

Provenance:
Sale Farsetti, Prato, 26 November 1994

As Valerio Adami wrote in 1968, “The hand is a kind of seismograph giving body to the traces left by the circuit of imagination”: the drawing hand is an instrument that records what the eye looks at and the mind sees. It is the starting point of the artist’s method: the hand-seismograph that in the “journey of drawing” goes through the kaleidoscope of his inspiration, and that in the essentiality of the line reworks, summarizes, juxtaposes, disassembles and reassembles it. […]

The lines of the drawing, eternally moving as the mind distilling them, - since for Adami “nulla dies sine linea” (no day without a line) – are the “off the beaten track” trails that the artist constantly crosses and connects. He does so by bringing distant worlds together, from the Ganges to the Matterhorn and from Paris to Finland by making the Greek mythological narrative coexist with New York street life, by recalling the light spells of Lake Maggiore or the clouds at sunrise.

KEPLER, JOHANNES. 1571-1630. :Dissertatio cum Nuncio Sidereo nuper ad mortales misso a Galilaeo Galilaeo. Frankfurt: Zacharias Palthenius, 1611.
8vo (162 x 90 mm). Woodcut device on title page. Modern blue morocco, ruled in gilt. Even toning, minor staining and some ink underlining.

Third, pirated edition of the Dissertatio cum Nuncio Sidereo, following the 1610 Prague and Florence editions. The work is an open letter to Galileo, responding enthusiastically to Galileo\'s telescopic observations published in Sidereus Nuncius in March of 1610. Galileo sent a copy to Kepler in April 1610, and Kepler felt it was necessary to publish a response in order to disseminate the knowledge of Galileo\'s discovery and its importance to the widest possible audience. He was also more than a little relieved that Galileo\'s conclusions did not undermine his own theories. The publisher of this edition, Zacharias Palthenius of Frankfurt, had also published a pirated edition of Galileo\'s Sidereus Nuncius in 1610. Caspar 34; Zinner 4277 (both for first edition).

(Bologna 1696-1763) Das Urteil des Salomon (recto), Studie für den linken Teil derselben Komposition (verso), Feder in Braun, grau laviert, auf Bütten, 16,8 x 21,5 cm, Passep., ohne Rahmen, (Sch)

Die Zuschreibung an Domenico Fratta wurde von Dr. Marco Riccòmini anhand einer hochauflösenden digitalen Fotografie bestätigt.

Domenico Maria Fratta war einer der talentiertesten Schüler des bologneser Malers Donato Creti (1671-1749), dessen Zeichnungen lange seinem Meister zugeschrieben waren, bis man sie seinem individuellen Stil zuordnen konnte. Die Vorderseite der zeichnung ist vor allem in den Figuren der Krieger mit zwei Studien des Künstlers im Musée du Rouen vergleichbar (Inv. 1975.4.5301; Inv. 1975.4.5302), die in den Körperhaltungen und den antiken Rüstungen große Ähnlichkeiten mit dem vorliegenden Blatt aufweisen. Die Kombination der grauen Lavierung mit der braunen Feder findet sich auch in einer Zeichnung in der Glasgover Art Gallery (Inv. PR2000.4. t) Die Rückseite der Zeichnung zeigt die große Leichtigkeit des Künstlers im Umgang mit der Feder und die stilistische Nähe zu seinem Lehrer Creti. Vgl. M.

SCHEINER, CHRISTOPH. 1573-1650. :Rosa Ursina Sive Sol ex Admirando Facularum Macularum suarum Phoenomeno Varius. Bracciano: Andreas Phaeus at the Ducal Press, 1626-1630.
Folio (375 x 260 mm). Engraved title vignette, engraved portrait of Paolo Giordano Orsini, Duke of Bracciano, additional engraved title, numerous engraved illustrations throughout (many full-page), woodcut head- and tailpieces and initials. [38], 784 (with numerous errors in pagination), [38] pp., with the blanks F4, R6 4I6. Full 18th-century (?) vellum, manuscript spine title, all edges gilt. Repairs to large portion of outer lower corner of first 5 leaves (letterpress half-title, title, portrait leaf, contents and engraved title) with loss to text and images, occasional heavy browning and waterstaining, especially to prefatory and end matter, sporadic foxing, loss to top blank corner of 4G6.

FIRST EDITION of Scheiner\'s major work on sunspots. Scheiner first observed sunspots in 1611, publishing his finding pseudonymously the following year in Tres Epistolae de Maculis Solaribus. The tract initiated a dispute with Galileo over the nature of sunspots. The present work, Scheiner\'s magnum opus and the standard work on sunspots for over well over a century, opens with an extended attack on Galileo, although Scheiner had by this point accepted Galileo\'s theory that sunspots exist on the surface of the sun and are not, as he had previously argued, caused by shadows cast by satellites of the sun. The many fine engravings depict Scheiner\'s observations, a map of the moon, and the helioscope and other instruments. \"For his masterpiece, Scheiner produced the first monograph on a heavenly body, the Sun. Even today it is still an impressive volume, with scores of engravings of sunspots and the various instruments needed for solar observations\" (Jesuit Science in the Age of Galileo).
