This lot has been imported from outside of the UK … Read more PROPERTY FROM THE HANIEL FAMILY COLLECTIONFranz Hugo Ernst Eberhard Haniel (1883-1965) was the son of the German industrialist and entrepreneur in the coal and steel industry, Franz Friedrich Heinrich Wilhelm Carl Haniel (1842-1916). After completing a law degree in Bonn, he joined the family business, which is still in existence today. Here he became a mining director, as well as a member of the supervisory board. He was an avid collector of East Asian art and antiquities and acquired several objects from his friend, Prof. Dr. Ernst Buschor, one of the most influential archaeologists of his time. In 1966, after Haniel’s death, the collection was given to the Staatliche Antikensammlungen und Glyptothek, Munich, on loan till the end of 1972. In 1973 it was moved to the Archaeological Collection of the University of Zurich, where it was on permanent exhibition and available for research purposes and as a source for publications.

Lot Essay


The scene shows the struggle for the Delphic tripod between Herakles and Apollo. The hero is depicted moving to the right but looking back, while holding his club and carrying the tripod, Apollo; a quiver on his back, is striding forward with his right hand grasping the tripod's ring handles. Between them is a burning altar.
