 rCOLLEGTION OF P. GATTADORI'S ITALIANj 
 ^ ~-—^" — ^ ART /gallery 
 
 Signer Cattadori, the well-known connoisseur of \'cnice, has 
 consigned to the American Art Association, to be sold under its 
 invariable terms of an unrestricted and unprotected jniblic sale, 
 the important ancient Italian Furniture, Textiles, Laces, Tapes- 
 tries, Paintings, Valuable Art Objects and Sculptures removed 
 from his now ilemolished premises at 734 Fifth Avenue. 
 
 Alany of the objects now on exhibition were derived fiom 
 such world-renowned sources as the collections of Stefano Bardini, 
 Gauthier of Paris, the Caracciolo, the Borghese Palace, Rome, 
 The Royal Palace of Racconigi, tlie Dowager Queen of Italy, the 
 Doria Palace and Count Camillo Benso di Cavour. 
 
 Among the textiles are many Gothic and Renaissance Velvets 
 remarkable for beautiful color or marvelous weaving; a Papal 
 Amethyst Baldachino and Jade Green Hanging present an un- 
 rivaled refinement of color, and a Gothic Drap d'Or Center, woven 
 in crimson with rare boucle stitch, and a sapphire Velvet Panel 
 of the same Venetian period exemplify the great dexterity that 
 weaving had then attained. Jardiniere and other Genoese Velvets 
 are well represented ; many specimens enriched with exquisite 
 needle-painting in gold threads reflecting the remarkable precision 
 of not only the eminent painters, who did not disdain to draw 
 a pattern or subject motive, but the rare craftsmanship of the 
 embroiderer. The Brocades, Damasks and Brocatelles are not loss 
 noteworthy than the Velvets. A group of Filet Lace and Fil-tire 
 Covers exhibiting Gothic and Renaissance motives, many with 
 animalistic motives, is one of the most interesting heretofore 
 offered at public sale. 
 
 The collection of dainty Ivory Fans of the eighteenth century 
 includes many of perfection in decorative value. 
 
 The Jewelry displayed has a passing interest, rather more 
 for the efl'ect desired than the value of the gems used in the 
 settings. 
 
 Tlie collection of Early Italian Faience includes many rare 
 specimens of Caffaggiolo, Savona and Delia Robbia. A Saxc 
 Tea and Coft'ee Set is not only complete, but delightful in the 
 chaste simplicity of its decoration. There are a number of Brass
 
 Votive LanijDs, Braseros, Forged Iron Torclieres, Andirons most 
 useful in tJieir purjjosc and dignity ; a fifteenth century Sanctuary 
 Screen, delicately forged and chiseled with lacclike tracery, Sara- 
 cenic and Crusaders' heads, is possibly the finest specimen of iron- 
 work extant of this early period. 
 
 Two Italian Renaissance Rock Crystal Candlesticks are of 
 great interest and finely mounted. Frencii eighteenth century 
 Gilded Bi'onze Ameublements are exemplified by two delightful 
 Louis X\' Clocks, one from the Dowager Queen of Italy's Collec- 
 tion, and a pair of liOuis XVI Wall Ajjpliques signed by Payot. 
 
 The two superlative Statuary Bas-reliefs by Cellini and 
 Bandinclli liave the prestige and distinction of association in the 
 famous Bardini Collection. 
 
 The Decorative and Portrait Paintings include examples by 
 (xuardi, Mariees, Giulio Romano, Francois Boucher, several im- 
 portant Architectural Landscajies jiainted in tempera, also from 
 Bardini, and a distinguished Primitive "Madonna and Child" by 
 Ijorenzetti which glows with color and devotional feeling. 
 
 The Italian Gotliic and French Renaissance and eighteentii 
 century Furniture, although extremely diverse in period and style, 
 "holds together" in a remarkable manner, demonstrating its 
 eclectic selection. Several Gothic Ciiests and Renaissance Cassoni 
 will undoubtedly be eagerly sought for their rarely interesting 
 details; further objects to be noted are Torcheres by del Tasso 
 and otiiers, several fine Needlework Screens, Chairs, and Settee, 
 Console and Other Tables, Cabinets, a number of Choir Stalls from 
 the Cluircli of San Lorenzo, Naples, State Beds, a beautifully 
 inlaid and mounted Connnode signed by Russel, a Venetian Sedan 
 Chair eminently suited for a modern telephone booth in a great 
 hall, and a French Renaissance Window Casement in fine condi- 
 tion of ai"tistic workmanship. 
 
 The Tapestries and Needlework Hangings include several 
 Gothics, one small panel, "The Adoration of the Virgin," being 
 exceptionally fine and varied in its weaving; of tlie Renaissance, 
 the "Alexander tiie Great and Porus," from Lord Braye's Collec- 
 tion, has tlie golden sunlit merit of its early period. A seventeenth 
 century French Tapestry is of fine decorative quality, and a 
 number of Tudor early French and Italian Petit and Gros Point 
 are enhanced by the presence of a "Deposition from the Cross" 
 whose cartoon has been given to Domenico Tiepolo (1726-1 804.)

 (Arched panel) 
 Height. 36 inches: xcidtli. 29 inclies 
 
 The enthroned and crowned Virgin, clad in a robe and hooded 
 mantle of dark blue linetl with green and trimmed with gold- 
 embroidered bands and a transparent lawn veil, holds on her lajj 
 the Infant Saviour and clasps one of his bare feet witli her right 
 hand. He wears a rose-colored robe bordered witli gold anil has 
 closely curling hair. Both Mother and Child have at tlieir breasts 
 raised bright red pastiglia jewels and their golden haloes are sim- 
 ilarly jeweled. The arciiitectural throne is paneled and stepped 
 at seat, anns and back, crested with fleurs-de-lis and is enriched 
 witli finials, emblematic of the four evangelists, namely, the Eagle 
 of St. John, the Angel of St. Matthew, the Bull of St. Luke and 
 the Lion of St. Mark. The throne stands before a gilded back- 
 ground and has a further enrichment in the panels of niosaic, of 
 the type made familiar by the Cosmati family. 
 
 Note: Pietro di Lorenzo, known as Lorenzetti, one of the earliest Sienese 
 painters, was a pupil of Duccio Buoninsegura and at first followed the tech- 
 nique of Simon and Pietro Cavalini; later he gave his individuality full play. 
 Venturi, in his "Storia dell' Arte Italiana" (1907), calls attention to this 
 Master's drawing of "the narrowed, almond-shaped eyes, the down-turned lips 
 and the long hands with widely ]iarted fingers'" which are strongly in evidence 
 in the above painting. His earliest signed painting is a panel in the I'ffizi 
 Gallery at Florence; his greatest glory is the series of frescoes in the lower 
 Church of St. Francesco at Assisi. These were for many years attributed to 
 Giotto. The structure of the Throne and the Pastiglia resemble, to a remark- 
 able degree, that of the Throne of his Virgin in Cortona Cathedral, and there 
 is scarcely a picture of his known in which he has not introduced with a keen 
 delight the panels of what is known as Cosmati Mosaic!, which are such a 
 feature of tliis painting.
