This vase is among the most ambitious ceramics made in this nation’s early republic era. Referencing sumptuous metal-mounted French porcelains of the period, it features elaborate gilded and polychrome enamel decoration. Each side is embellished with a different view of Philadelphia, taken from print sources. On one side, is Sedgely Park, designed by distinguished architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe and the country seat of Philadelphia merchant James Fisher. It is considered to be the earliest Gothic Revival house in America. On the opposite side is the view from Springland, the country estate on the Delaware River of the artist and landscape architect William Birch. Birch was the primary proponent of the English picturesque landscape, of which he considered his own Springland, the epitome. Thus, the views celebrate quite consciously a particular moment in this nation’s history—and—America’s most noted architect, and most noted landscape architect.

Provenance

Ospedale Civile di Vibo Valentia. E' la sera del 5/11/2012. I tempi ormai sono compiuti ed Elena la mia prima nipote sta per nascere. Anna è pronta, i dolori pre-parto sono molto forti ma mia figlia li sopporta con grande dignità e decoro. Alle ore 18:00 il primo vagito Elena Michienzi è nata.

Mi pueblo tiene placeres
que sólo el cielo los da.
Sales al campo y ya tienes
lugares para otear,
y disfrutar de horizontes,
y también de un buen trigal.
Si hay suerte y se ha cuidado
hasta un palomar encuentras,
esperando recobrar
esas palomas que vuelan
libres sobre el trigal.
Mi pueblo tiene placeres,
que hay que saberlos cuidar.

Standby and capture it, Alocasia have a well position for it.
One of the many, but always different morning impressions of my favorite location on the Moselle. There, the ducks are regularly fed by unreasonable people, so that after the arrival of the photographer once nothing is with the otherwise calm water in the early morning. Here, however, I was able to integrate the ducks into the picture.
Eine der vielen und doch immer wieder unterschiedlichen Morgen-Impressionen von meiner bevorzugten Lokation an der Mosel. Dort werden die Enten regelmäßig von unvernünftigen Menschen gefüttert, so dass nach der Ankunft des Fotografen erst einmal nichts ist mit dem sonst ruhigem Wasser am frühen Morgen. Hier konnte ich die Enten jedoch gestalterisch gut ins Bild intergrieren.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!
