akg5285448 Knights Templar trial papers : 1308 parchment titled Processus Contra Templarios (Trial against the Templars)- The Vatican publishes a long-misplaced, 700-year-old papal report on the medieval holy warriors. It is a 1308 parchment titled Processus Contra Templarios (Trial against the Knights Templar), which chronicles the order's sordid endgame: the accusations of heresy, the Templars' defense, and Pope Clement V's absolution of the order, before he did an about-face and eliminated it. The document misplaced in Vatican's archives until 2001, is reportedly the official transcript of that trial and Clement's 1308 verdict, which found the Templars to be immoral but not heretical. The Pope allegedly intended to reform them. But under continued pressure from his French protector, Clement instead disbanded them in 1312 and gave most of their riches to a rival military order.Vatican, 2007.

Provenance: - Private collection, Paris - Hammer Galleries, New York with enclosed authentication from the gallery dated July 10, 1985. Certificate:Didier Imbert, Paris dated July 10, 1985, is to be enclosed into the catalogue raisonné in progress.Influenced by the style of his friend Paul Gauguin, Gustave Loiseau belonged to the second generation of impressionists. In 1901 the gallery owner Durand-Ruel, who had already signed him on in 1897, aligned a large solo exhibition for him. With the sole purpose to depict nature as honest as possible he developed an own impressionistic style which is characteristed by vivid, dynamic colour application.Just like Cézanne, Pissarro and van Gogh he is magically attracted time and time again by the rural Auvers. There he often visits his friend Dr. Gachet. In his painting of the church of Auvers-sur-Oise Loiseau he masterly depicts an everyday scene on a cloudy summer day. Loyal to his restrained nature he captures the unspectacular life off the metropolis in muted colours. Special-Edition-Catalogue_Collection_Stinner Text-Special-Edition-Catalogue_Collection_Stinner.

akg3830202 Howqua (Chinese: ???; Mandarin Pinyin: Wu Bingjiàn; 1769 - 4 September 1843) was the most important of the Hong merchants in the Thirteen Factories, head of the E-wo hong and leader of the Canton Cohong (??). He was once one of the richest men in the world. Born in Fujian, China, he was known to the West as Howqua (the second). His father, Wu Guorong was also Howqua (the first) and was founder of the family company. Because his Chinese name was too difficult for western traders to pronounce, the name Howqua comes from his Chinese Business Name ?? (Mandarin Pinyin: Haoguan). He became rich on the trade between China and the British Empire in the middle of the 19th century during the First Opium War. Perhaps the wealthiest man in China during the nineteenth century, Howqua was the senior of the Hong merchants in Canton, one of the few authorized to trade silk and porcelain with foreigners. According to historic records, there was a fire in 1822 and many of the cohongs were burned down. The melted silver allegedly formed a little stream almost two miles in length. Of the 3 million dollars of compensation that was required to pay the British from the Treaty of Nanking, he single-handedly contributed one million, one third of the total sum. He later died in Canton the same year. To this day, portraits of the pigtailed Howqua in his robes still hang in Salem and Newport mansions built by U.S. merchants grateful for his assistance.
