Lot no. 1331
Alessandro Algardi, nach
François Duquesnoy, nach
Geißelung Christi
Elfenbein, Ebenholz, Amethyst, Jaspis und andere Farbsteine, feuervergoldete Bronze. Dreifigurige vollplastische Gruppe auf Quaderpostament und geschnitzter Terrainplinthe. Zentral und leicht erhöht Christus an der Säule, flankiert von zwei Männern in römischer Legionärskleidung, ihn mit Stricken und Ruten schlagend. Das Postament verziert mit Pietra-dura-Einlagen, die Säule mit Stein furniert, Blattkapitell und Lisenen aus vergoldeter Bronze. Die Gestaltung der Flagellationsgruppe - meist in Bronze ausgeführt - wird auf zwei der führenden Persönlichkeiten des barocken Roms, Alessandro Algardi und François Duquesnoy, zurückgeführt, wobei Jennifer Montagu in ihren Publikationen von 1967 und 1985 (op. cit.) die Zuschreibungen präzisiert hat. Unsere außergewöhnliche Version weicht von den Zuschreibungen an Algardi ab, da die zwei Schergen anders als Christus kein Lendentuch, sondern Tunika und Beinkleidung tragen. Auch sind Christus und der linke Söldner durch Blickrichtung und Kopfhaltung stärker aufeinander bezogen als bei anderen Exemplaren.
Insgesamt in gutem Zustand. Elfenbein mit Bräunungen. 73,5 x 58 x 24,5 cm.

Carved ivory and ebony set with amethyst, jasper, and other coloured gemstones, ormolu mountings. Three-figure group carved in the round on a rectangular plinth and a trompe l'oeil earth mound base. Christ depicted in the centre slightly elevated and tied to the column, flanked by two men in Roman legionary uniforms beating him with ropes and switches. The plinth is decorated with pietra dura, the column with stone veneer, the lisenes and capital of gilt bronze. The composition of this flagellation group, which is usually carried out in bronze, can be traced back to two leading personalities of the Roman Baroque: Alessandro Algardi and François Duquesnoy. Whereby Jennifer Montagu was able to specify this attribution in her publications from 1967 and 1985 (op. cit). The present version differs from the ascription to Algardi, as the two soldiers are not shown in loincloths like Christ, but instead wear tunics and leggings. Christ and the soldier on the left also show more connection to one another through the position of the heads and through eye-contact than in other examples of this motif.
In good overall condition. Wear to the ivory. H 73.3, W 58, D 24.5 cm..
