Beschreibung
A fine carnelian intaglio seal engraved by Edward Burch. Zeus wearing a laurel wreath.
Early 19th century
intaglio : 18 x 21 mm; 19, 22 gr
Zeus is facing right and characterized by a thick beard and finely engraved thick hair, with a laurel wreath on the head. The profile is characterized by a protruding nose and a semi-opened mouth. In the foreground, the right shoulder is raised, showing the musculature. This beautiful intaglio is signed BURCH R.A.: opus of Edward Burch (1730-1814) from Royal Academy. The artist is considered one of the England’s greatest gem-engravers. This stone is mounted as an early 19th century seal engraved with a border of shells, the handle modelled as a stylised lyre composed of foliate scrolls. A very fine intaglio executed with great skill. Light crack on the stone. Extremely fine mirror polishing.
Parallels: G. Seidmann, The diversity of Edward Burch, pp. 17-26 in Le gemme incise nel Settecento e Ottocento. Continuità della tradizione classica, 1998.
