拍品 220The two following lots are both from the Kunstkammer of the Dukes of Baden and are dazzling examples of 17th century ivory carving.
The partial dispersal of the collections of the Grand Dukes of Baden was one of the most exceptional series of house sales of the 20th century. Pictures, furniture, porcelain and silver were auctioned, alongside thousands of other objects used in the daily life of the family's great estates scattered across Germany.
One of the most exciting aspects of the sale was the opening up of the Baden Kunstkammer, traditionally where only the most private and precious of the family treasures were held, which contained beautifully worked objects of semi-precious stone, amber, ivory and other rare materials.

This ivory is noted in the Inventory of the Grand Ducal Kunsthalle, Carlsruhe, 1854, no. 32.
The composition, from the Passion of Christ depicting the bound Christ taken before the high-priest Annas, is based on a copper engraving by Pietro Aquila after Ciro Ferri. For similar relief carvings in ivory, specifically one of Moses and another of Constantine, see Theuerkauff, Op. cit, vol. I, no. 71 and vol. II, no. 33, respectively. Theuerkauff also notes Stainhart's influence on -- and similarity to -- a relief of the Passion by Matthias Loth (1675-1738).
