PANINI, GIAN PAOLO (1691-1795), artist.] Parentalia Mariae Clementinae Magn. Britan. Franç., et Hibern. regin. Jussu Clementis XII Pont Max. . Rome: Giovanni Maria Salvioni, 1736. 2° (420 x 285 mm). Collation: A-D 4 . 16 leaves, paginated I-XXXI. Text in Latin and Italian printed in two columns, in roman and italic types. Engraved title by Girolamo Frezza after Gian Paolo Panini, two large folding etched and engraved plates of Maria Clementina's funeral, the first by Balthasar Grabbuggiani, the second by Rocco Pozzi both after Panini, 2 engraved head-pieces, the first, with putti and globe, signed by Maximilian Limpach after Filippo Juvarra (A1r, repeated on B4v), the second (A2v) signed Ant. Friz., 6 rococco engraved vignettes or tail-pieces, one signed Jacob Friz. after Giuseppe Passari, 6 finely engraved initials with funerary emblems. (Neatly repaired 6-inch tear and 2 small repaired tears to first folding plate, second plate reinforced along folds and on new guard.) 18th-century German sponge-marbled boards (rubbed with some paper loss, repaired tear to upper pastedown); modern cloth-backed slipcase (broken) and folding chemise. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION, commemorating the splendid obsequies held in Rome on 10 February 1735 for Maria Clementina Sobieski Stuart, the granddaughter of John III Sobieski, King of Poland, and wife of James Francis Edward Stuart (1688-1766), Prince of Wales, the Jacobite James III of England, known as the Old Pretender by the Hanoverians. Following their marriage in 1719, the royal couple took up residency in Rome at the special invitation of Pope Clement XI, who openly acknowledged them as King and Queen of Britain, and who gave them an annual allowance, a special papal guard, a villa in the countryside, and a palace in the city (the Palazzo Muti, which became the headquarters of the Jacobite party). Maria Clementina died on January 18, 1735, at the age of 33, possibly from stomach cancer. Full regal honors were paid to the Stuart queen at her funeral. The first folding plate (platemark 635 x 474 mm.), depicting the elaborate funeral apparatus designed by Panini and the papal architect Ferdinand Fuga, shows the queen lying in state, dwarfed by an enormous crowned catafalque reaching up to the distant ceilings of the church of the Twelve Apostles. The second plate (460 x 648 mm.) shows the funeral procession, the various religious orders number-keyed and identified in the caption at bottom, winding from the Church of the Twelve Apostles to St. Peter's, where Maria Clementina was buried. Berlin Katalog 3255; Cicognara 1502; Vinet 755; Ferdinando Arsi, Gian Paolo Panini e i fasti della Roma del'700 (Rome 1986), pp. 208-9.
