Virgin with Child plaster cast other copies ?
Original marble from Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe Kerk in Antwerpen (Belgium)For a research project on casts made of the famous Virgin with Child,
executed in marble by the Master of Mosane Marble Virgins in the second
quarter of the 14th century and preserved tody in Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe Kerk
in Antwerp, I am looking for cast copies of this sculpture, which is
approximately 130 cm high.
By 1916, the cast workshop of the Brussels Museum of Arts and History had casts of this sculpture for sale, and the moulds still exist today.
One presumable cast is known (see the attached image), but whereabouts of
additional existing casts, which could be examined at close quarters for
comparison, are not known to me.
Reference to any existing casts known to you would therefore be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you!

Pageant or Unknown Greek Woman
Major cast reference for art academies in Japan !This is called "Pageant" or "Unknown Greek Woman," one of the most
popularly used bust in art academies in Japan, but it's original is
unidentified.
There is a marble bust in Uffizi Gallery with the exactly same head, but
its body is different. (And the Uffizi catalog says its bust is modern.)
It is known that classical cast sculptures were first imported from
Europe in the late 19th century and have become major educatioinal tools
for art academies in Japan. And I wonder if the cast like "Pageant" also
exists in Europe, not only in Japan.
So, please let me know if you remember any cast sculpture which looks
like this.

Greek stele in the Louvre for Noumenios from Kition
Looking for drawings copyI am currently studying many copies of drawings of Greek stelai and especially this one.
This drawing was published in Antiquities of Attica, Suppl. Volume 1830, and and a tomb-stele in Copenhagen by the sculptor Hermann Ernst Freund is dated to 1836.
Are you aware of such very close copies in your respective countries? There are none in Scandinavia , none in England, none in Germany (I believe) and none in Holland (according to Ruurd Halbertsma).
I still wonder if any artist in your countries copied Greek stelai in the same way ?
I look very much forward to hearing your answers.

Calco in gesso della Vittoria Alata di Brescia
Originale in bronzo, scoperta nel 1826

Sto cercando notizie sul calco in gesso della Vittoria Alata (antica statua in bronzo, scoperta in città nel 1826, e di cui allego un'immagine) che il Comune di Brescia ha inviato al' Accademia di Belle Arti di Dresda nel 1873.
Navigando nel Web ho scoperto il sito dell'
International Association for Conservation and Promotion of Plaster Cast e spero qualcuno mi possa aiutare.
Grazie per l'attenzione (18 febraio 2008)
Dopo la pubblicazione sul vostro sito della mia richiesta di notizie sulla Vittoria Alata di Brescia ho ricevuto una interessante risposta da Moritz Kiderlen, che conferma la presenza a Dresda di un calco in gesso dell'antica scultura.
Desidero ringraziare l'International Association for Conservation and Promotion of Plaster Cast Collections per avermi aiutato così brillantemente e in breve tempo.
Nel frattempo ho saputo che, fra il 1870 e il 1890 da Brescia sono partite, verso San Pietroburgo, Zurigo, Madrid, New York, altre repliche della statua di cui mi piacerebbe avere qualche notizia. Spero di essere così fortunato come per la copia di Dresda e sarà mia cura tenerla informata dei progressi del mio lavoro, se non la disturbo troppo.
Ancora tanti ringraziamenti,

Maquette de C.WALGER
Théâtre de Dyonisos à AthènesL'exemplaire du musée de Louvain-la-Neuve porte en effet sur le côté l'estampille
C. WALGER Fec. Berlin (en relief dans un cartouche rectangulaire en creux ).
Cette belle maquette mesure 50 cm de haut sur 1m55 de large et 1m35 de profondeur.
Il existe des maquettes de l'acropole d'Athènes sorties du même atelier à Bâle, Copenhague, Bruxelles, Göttingen (inv.A262) et à Oxford. Une maquette de la topographie d'Olympie, toujours du même atelier est signalée dans la collection des moulages de la Humbold Universität à Berlin.
Nous sommes donc à la recherche d'informations à propos cet atelier de C(arl?) WALGER.
Merci d'avance pour votre collaboration.

Max Landsberg
Moulages de figurines d'animaux d'élevageL'Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) à Louvain-la-Neuve possède dans son untité GENA quelque 150 figurines en plâtre peint (moutons, cochons, chevaux, vaches, taureaux). Elles ont été réalisées à échelle, pour la pluspart par Max Landsberg (Berlin) entre 1881 et 1914. Elles ont appartenu à la Faculté d'agronomie et ont été utilisées à l'époque pour les cours d'anatomie animale et de zootechnie. Nous recherchons toute information à propos ce type de collection (bibliographie, catalogue d'atelier, catalogue de collection universitaire...) et plus particulièrement de l'atelier de Max Landsberg.
Merci d'avance pour votre collaboration.
