Henri Benjamin Constant de Rebecque (1767-1830), Swiss-French political writer and politician 1830 Pierre Jean David d'Angers French Pierre-Jean David dAngers was the most prolific and one of the most important French sculptors of the first half of the nineteenth century. Throughout his almost fifty-year career (1819-1856) David remained true to his conviction that sculptural monuments dedicated to the achievements of great men and women most permanently and vividly express the greatness of a people. He continuously sought commissions for monuments portraying historical and contemporary figures whom he admired in order to commit their contributions to posterity. His most famous public commission, the figurative pediment of the Pantheon in Paris (1830-1837), which commemorates great men and was dedicated by a grateful nation, exemplifies these life-long principles. David dAngers extended his definition of public monuments to include portrait medallions. In the 1820s he dedicated himse

Cicero. Artist: Giuseppe Girometti (Italian, Rome 1780-1851 Rome). Culture: Italian, Rome. Dimensions: Overall: 7/8 x 3/4 x 1 in. (2.3 x 1.9 x 2.6 cm); visible cameo (confirmed): 19.1 x 14.7 x 6 mm. Date: early 19th century.The Neoclassical age prized the sternly republican marble head of Cicero (106-43 B.C.) in the Musei Capitolini, Rome. An intaglio after it by Nathaniel Marchant (40.20.1) circulated in the form of gypsum impressions. The Roman carvers of these two heads consulted the sculpture itself, obtaining different results. The more numismatic approach of the cameo carved about 1810-20 by a member of the Cerbara family (40.20.34), in which the features are affixed with broad authority, typifies the work of that clan (Gian Battista Cerbara d. 1811 sired Giuseppe 1770-1856 and Nicola 1796-1869, Nicola succeeding Giuseppe as master of the papal mint). Yet Cerbara also employed the buff areas to suggest flesh, while the starker white-on-black contrast in Giuseppe Girometti'

Claerchen. Artist: Karl Theodore Bitter (American (born Austria), Vienna 1867-1915 New York). Dimensions: 21 3/4 x 13 1/8 in. (55.2 x 33.3 cm). Date: 1893.Bitter no doubt viewed this profile of Clare, his six-year-old niece, as a casual representation, as suggested by the sketchy, tactile handling of form. Striated tool marks add dynamism to Bitter's characterization of his wide-eyed sitter. Once considered a means to a more polished end, the sketch aesthetic was popularized in the late-nineteenth century through low relief portraits by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and others. "Claerchen" is a diminutive form of the sitter's name that recalls Bitter's Austrian heritage. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Cicero ca. 1810-20 Possibly by Niccolò Cerbara The Neoclassical age prized the sternly republican marble head of Cicero (106-43 B.C.) in the Musei Capitolini, Rome. An intaglio after it by Nathaniel Marchant (40.20.1) circulated in the form of gypsum impressions. The Roman carvers of these two heads consulted the sculpture itself, obtaining different results. The more numismatic approach of the cameo carved about 1810-20 by a member of the Cerbara family, in which the features are affixed with broad authority, typifies the work of that clan (Gian Battista Cerbara d. 1811 sired Giuseppe 1770-1856 and Nicola 1796-1869, Nicola succeeding Giuseppe as master of the papal mint). Yet Cerbara also employed the buff areas to suggest flesh, while the starker white-on-black contrast in Giuseppe Girometti’s Cicero (40.20.42) evokes marble. Girometti’s work is also more detailed, delivering a keener sense of the great orator’s cogitations through his careworn features.. Cicero. Italian, Rome.
