拍品描述 翻译
A LIFE-SIZED TERRACOTTA HEAD OF VAJRAPANI IN THE FORM OF HERACLESAncient region of Gandhara, 4th-5th century. Powerfully modeled with a stern expression, framed by dense facial hair arranged into long voluminous curls, wavy hair, a billowing moustache and full beard. The furrowed brow, indication of age, and piercing gaze reflect an ancient yet astonishingly present taste for naturalism.Provenance: Arthur Huc (1854-1932). Marcel Huc, inherited from the above. Thence by descent within the same family. Arthur Huc was the chief editor of La Dep?ache du Midi, at the time the leading newspaper in Toulouse, France. He was also an accomplished art critic and early patron of several artists, including Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec. At the same time, Arthur Huc was a keen collector of Asian art, a passion that he inherited from his legendary ancestor Evariste Regis Huc, also known as the Abbe Huc (1813-1860), a French Catholic priest and traveler who became famous for his accounts of Qing-era China, Mongolia and especially the then-almost-unknown Tibet in his book “Remembrances of a Journey in Tartary, Tibet, and China”.Inventory List: In 1954, L. Magniette, bailiff of the court in Toulouse (Huissier), was ordered to compile a complete inventory of the collection inherited by Marcel Huc from his father, Arthur Huc, the so-called “Inventaire Huc”. The present lot is listed in this inventory as follows: “Serie de vingt deux t?ates en terre-cuite. GANDHARA” (series of twenty-two terracotta heads. GANDHARA). A copy of the inventory list and cover page are accompanying this lot.Condition: Excellent, almost unique condition, fully consistent with the age of the sculpture, some firing flaws and material loss to exposed areas, hardly noticeable due to a light-colored varnish coating which was applied a long time ago.Scientific Analysis Report: A Thermoluminescence sample analysis has been conducted by Oxford Authentication, TL test no. N116n15, dated 18 October 2016, and is consistent with the suggested period of manufacture, a copy of the thermoluminescence analysis report accompanies this lot (the original is lost).Weight: 8.3 kg (total)Dimensions: Height 29.5 cm (the head) and 42.5 cm (incl. base)This large terracotta head is an extremely rare legacy of the ancient kingdom of Gandhara, encapsulating the rich cultural interplay and hybrid art styles derived from Hellenistic and Indian influences. It depicts the bodhisattva Vajrapani, the protector of Buddhism, represented with the iconography of the Greek god Hercules, who was widely venerated as a hero and savior in western Asia during the early centuries of the present era. As a great champion, yet one who nevertheless understood the human condition, Hercules was easily assimilated into Mahayana Buddhism. Like other Gandharan bodhisattvas, he is depicted as an earthly prince with his aristocratic bearing and posture. However, his heavily moustached face belongs to the Indian world, while the naturalistic face is reminiscent of Greco-Roman sculpture.The kingdom of Gandhara lasted from 530 BC to 1021 AD, when its last king was murdered by his own troops. It stretched across parts of present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan. Gandhara is noted for its distinctive style in Buddhist art, which developed out of a merger of Greek, Syrian, Persian and Indian artistic influence. Gandharan style flourished and achieved its peak during the Kushan period, from the 1st to the 5th century. In the first century AD, Gandhara was the birthplace of some of the earliest Buddhist images.The use of hard-fired ceramic instead of stone such as schist was popular during the later Gandharan period from the 4th to the 6th centuries. Fired clay was expensive in the area, because the wood needed for the firing process was scarce. Therefore, such an expensive sculpture would have been a highly meritorious Buddhist offering. Only very few terracotta statues from this period and of this size have ever been recorded.Mounted on an associated base. (2)Literature Comparison: Compare with a terracotta head of Dionysos (The God of Wine and Divine Intoxication), 4th–5th century, strongly resembling the present lot, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (accession no. 1979.507.2).Auction result comparison: Compare with a closely related terracotta statue of Vajrapani in the form of Hercules at Sotheby's Hong Kong in Curiosity V, 02 April 2019, lot 3105, bought in at an estimate of HKD 1,500,000-1,800,000. Also compare with a closely related head of Vajrapani in the form of Heracles, sold in these rooms on 25 April 2020, lot 427, for EUR 45,500.陶土執金剛神頭像呈赫拉克勒斯形象健陀羅，四至五世紀。表情嚴肅，濃密的鬍鬚，長捲髮。 眉頭緊皺，年齡的顯示和尖利的目光反映出古老而又令人驚訝的自然主義品味。來源：Arthur Huc (1854-1932)收藏。Marcel Huc繼承，自此保存在同一家族至今。Arthur Huc是La Dep?achedu Midi的主編，這是當時法國圖盧茲的主要報紙。他還是一位出色的藝術評論家，也是包括Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec在內的幾位藝術家的早期贊助人。 同時，Arthur Huc是一位熱衷於亞洲藝術的收藏家，他的熱情源於他的傳奇祖先Evariste Regis Huc，中文名為古伯察（1813-1860），是法國天主教神父和旅行作家，在他的《韃靼西藏旅行記》書中描述了他在清朝的遊歷以及對蒙古尤其是當時幾乎鮮為人知的西藏的敘述。收藏清單：1954年，圖盧茲法院法警 L. Magniette奉命對Marcel Huc從其父親Arthur Huc繼承的收藏品進行完整目錄彙編，即所謂的“ Inventaire Huc”。 此拍品也在當時列出的收藏清單中“ Serie de vingt deuxt?atesen terre-cuite。 GANDHARA”（二十二個陶土頭像系列，健陀羅）。隨附清單和封面副本。圖片：Arthur Huc (1854-1932)品相：狀況極佳，非常獨特，與雕塑的年齡相符，存在一些燒製瑕疵，裸露區域材料缺失，多年前的淺色清漆塗層已經幾乎看不出。科學檢測報告：隨附一份牛津熱釋光檢測鑒定報告（原件遺失）。監測報告 no.
