A” three-dimensional” oil painting, depicting the 1903 America's Cup yacht race outside New York Harbour between the contenders Reliance (entered by the New York Yacht Club) and Shamrock III, (representing the Royal Ulster Yacht Club). The name embroidered on the bow of the accompanying steamboat, is that of Edward J. Bergwind, one of the titans of industry of that period. Bergwind was a philanthropist and a member of the New York Yacht Club. Condition: wonderful condition with some minor crackle in the sky. All of the silk details are intact, one loose shroud, even though the original glass has been exchanged (probably around 1942-43), due to a BB gun projectile hitting the frame.

• CHRIS CALLE (B. 1961) "WOOD CARVINGS"Chris
  CHRIS CALLE (B. 1961) "WOOD CARVINGS"Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Wood Carvings of the American Eagle" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the U.S. 23c Flag Pre-sorted First Class Coil stamp issue of September 27, 1991. Throughout the history of the United States, many images have come to symbolize the ideals of the nation. But since the nation's history began, the American flag and the Bald Eagle have been held in reverence as the very essence of the nation. America's first national flag was raised on a hill near Boston on January 4, 1776, by the troops of General George Washington. It was named the Grand Union Flag, and bore thirteen red and blue stripes. It also displayed the crosses of St. Andrew and St. George -- symbols of America's British heritage. It was only after the Declaration of Independence was signed that Americans chose a flag of their own. Through the years, the design of the flag retained many of its original symbols while abandoning others. In 1818, the American flag was officially returned to its original thirteen stripes, with but a single star to be added upon the field of blue for each new state. The Bald Eagle, too, is symbolic of the mighty, peaceloving nation. For example, on June 20, 1782, the infant American government adopted The Great Seal of the United States. An image of the nation's independence and equality, the Seal bears the figure of an Eagle, chosen to grace the Seal for its self-reliance and proud bearing. Image Size: 11.25 x 22.75 in.

• Attributed to Charles-Louis Clérisseau
  Attributed to Charles-Louis Clérisseau (French worked in Italy 1721-1820) "A Chimneypiece in the Neo-Classical Style" c. 1770s/1780s ink and two tones of gray wash on cream-colored laid paper (perhaps with an even paler uniform gray wash) unsigned; watermark(s) partially obscured by repair tapes applied to verso but with letters "...M A..." and "O...M" visible; inscribed on bottom margin with scale representing 6 "Palmi di Genova" (in which 1 Genoese oncia [inch] = 2 Genoese palmi; 1 palmo = 248 mm.); above it in the mouth of the fireplace another scale in different units. Provenance: Roman art market mid-20th century; James R. Lamantia Jr. New Orleans and New York. Note: This extremely beautiful and historically important drawing is a precocious and diagnostic precursor of the Neo-Classical movement. Its principal frieze (in fictive bas-relief) represents Apollo and Minerva at the center with the flanking figures of the Nine Muses carrying their identifying attributes; Juno and Jupiter confront each other in the upper right-hand square panel and two other divinities occupy the left; Mercury and a sister goddess crown the tall reliefs to the sides. This design is strikingly notable for its purity simplicity and sobriety: it displays no other ornaments at all apart from the chaste moldings of a large egg-and-dart and a small bead-and-reel around the mouth of the fireplace a simple beading around the side panels a brief leaf-and-tongue under the square elements and a foliated ovolo and smaller cove (separated by another small bead and by a blank frieze) in the crowning entablature of the mantel shelf. Such conspicuous restraint coupled with such paramount reliance on delicately detailed sculptural forms alone mark this design as a truly startling contrast for example with the Rococo exuberance and Classical complexity of the most celebrated engravings of chimneypieces to be engraved in the preceding decade the Camini of G. B. Piranesi (1720-1778)-issued as 70 etched plates in 1769. Clérisseau a Parisian won the Prix de Rome in 1749 and stayed in the Eternal City for almost twenty years returning to Paris only in 1767 to become a member of the Académie Royale. While in Italy he became a close friend of Piranesi's; he was also tutor to a variety of Northern architects most importantly to Robert (1728-1792) and James Adam (1734-1794) on whose famous-even epochal-style Clérisseau had a fundamental and all-pervasive influence (as witnessed profoundly in this drawing). Clérisseau himself is best known in the United States as the co-designer with Thomas Jefferson of the Virginia State Capitol at Richmond (1785-99) based on the "Maison Carrée" at Nîmes. Clérisseau had become the preeminent authority on such Provençal structures with his Antiquités de la France: Monumens de Nismes (1778); and his long experience of southern France provides a plausible reason whereby his drawings (some 1100 of which are concentrated in the Hermitage St. Petersburg) might have included this sheet measured as it is in Genoese units. Genoa only officially adopted the metric system as of 1 March 1847 so this drawing's citation of Genoese palmi is at once appropriate and unhelpful with regard to dating (for which its watermark is also inconclusive). What can be said is that it very perfectly epitomizes the dawn of Neo-Classicism in Europe and as such it is an artifact of the highest importance. References: Thomas J.
