Antonietta Brandeis, 1849 Miskowitz – 1910 VenedigVENEDIG – BLICK ÜBER EINEN KANAL MIT ZWEI BRÜCKENÖl auf Leinwand.29 x 48 cm.Rechts unten signiert.Gerahmt.Das Bildformat ist breit gewählt und bietet den Blick über den Verlauf eines Seitenkanals, der von zwei weitgezogenen Brücken überspannt wird. An den Ufern Kähne, weiter hinten in hellem Licht anliegende Gondeln. Auf der Brücke wenige Figuren, dabei eine Mutter mit Kind. Die Lichtstimmung zeigt – wie in allen ihren Bildern – eine hervorragende Malqualität. A.R.Anmerkung:Die Malerin studierte zunächst in Prag bei Karel Javúrek, war dann aber die erste Frau, die in Venedig 1867 von der Akademie bei Michelangelo Grigoletti (1801-1870) aufgenommen wurde. Sie widmete sich überwiegend der Genre italienischen Stadtansichten, nicht nur von Venedig, sondern auch von Florenz, Bologna und Rom. Daneben entstanden auch Altarbilder, die sie allerdings mit „Antonio“ signierte, um der geschlechtlichen Diskrimminierung zu entgehen. Die Galleria Revoltella in Triest erwarb bereits in der K.u.K.-Zeit eines ihrer Werke.Literatur:Vgl. Ettore Verga, Brandeis, Antonietta, in: Ulrich Thieme, Felix Becker (Hrsg.), Allgemeines Lexikon der Bildenden Künstler von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart, Bd. 4, Leipzig 1910, S. 527. Vgl.

Alessandro Algardi, 1598 – 1654, nach einem Modell vonCHRISTUS MIT DEM KREUZHöhe inkl. Stand: 23,8 cm.Auf getrepptem Sammlungssockel.Wohl im Spanien des 17. Jahrhunderts entstandenes Flachrelief Christus auf einer Erdnabe sein Kreuz haltend zeigend. Die Vorbilder für diese Darstellung sind einerseits in der Gotik, andererseits aber vor allem in der Renaissance zu suchen, als Michelangelo eine Skulptur für Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rom und eine weitere Version 1519-20 schuf, wo ebenfalls der linke Arm hinüber zum Kreuz reicht. Die Gesichtszüge hingegen verweisen auf die schönsten Vergleichsbeispiele des Alessandro Algardi, die zumeist in Malta zu finden sind. (1430737) (13))
Standfigur des DavidHöhe: 173 cm.Italien.In Terracotta gestaltete Parkfigur den florentiner David des Michelangelo wiederspiegelnd und somit würdigend. Michelangelo wurde 1501 beauftragt und meißelte den David zwischen September 1501 und Mai 1504. Seine Figur ist jedoch über fünf Meter hoch und wiegt mehr als fünf Tonnen, sodass sich unser David für den häuslichen Parkgebrauch ausgesprochen zierlich ausnimmt. Witterungsspuren. (1360807) (13))
Meiffren Comte, 1630 Marseille – um 1705GemäldepaarPAAR STILLLEBEN MIT PRÄCHTIGEN KANNEN UND MUSCHELNÖl auf Leinwand. Doubliert.Je 96 x 68,5 cm.In vergoldeten Rahmen.In einem Innenraum, jeweils vor braunem Hintergrund auf einer Steinplatte stehend die präsentierten prachtvollen Gegenstände: das eine Gemälde zeigt einen silbernen, reliefierten Henkelkrug, auf dessen mittlerem Korpus ein Zug mit einem Königspaar zu Pferde in Begleitung zu erkennen ist. Der Standfuss mit einem Maskaron und Blumengirlande, der Bereich des Griffes mit Putti und Floraldekor verziert. Rechtsseitig zudem ein liegender, reliefierter Goldbecher, eine Frucht und eine übergroße Muschel vor dem im Hintergrund horchragenden Zweig einer weissen Stockrose. Links an der Tischecke ein leuchtend roter Samtteppich mit goldfarbenen Franzen, eine kleine Schnecke und ein Deckelgefäß. Das andere Gemälde zeigt erneut eine große reliefierte Kanne, wohl aus rosafarbenem Achat, deren Griff in Form eines Hundes gestaltet ist. Auf der rechten Tischseite eine reliefierte Schale, zudem eine kleine Truhe und ein leuchtend blauer Samtteppich mit goldenen Fransen, am linken Rand Schnecken und Muscheln, vor einem dahinter sich in die Höhe ragenden Zweig mit zartrosafarbenen Päonienblüten. Seine reich geprägten Kannen sind typisch für Pariser und flämische Silberschmiedearbeiten. Seine beiden Kannen werden durch eine starke Hell-Dunkel-Inszenierung besonders hervorgehoben. Ein häufig in seinen Werken wiederkehrendes Merkmal ist die Verwendung von wertvollen Stoffen mit ihren vergoldeten Fransen, die dem Betrachter entgegenfallen, als würden sie ihre Üppigkeit zur Schau stellen.Anmerkung:Der Künstler zog von Aix-en-Provence nach Rom, wo er u.a. die Werke von Michelangelo Cerquozzi und Mario dei Fiori studieren konnte. In seinen Werken lassen sich gewisse Gemeinsamkeiten mit ihnen erkennen. Sein Italienaufenthalt förderte seine künstlerische Entwicklung und seinen Ruhm nach seiner Rückkehr nach Frankreich.Literatur:Michel Faré, Le grand siècle de la nature morte en Frnace.

Sofonisba Anguisciola, um 1530 Cremona – 1625 Palermo, zug.BILDNIS EINES ADELIGEN KNABENÖl auf Leinwand.84 x 64 cm.Links unten signiert und datiert „1556“ (58?).Das Knabenbildnis ist im Dreiviertelportrait geschaffen. Der in schwarze Seide gekleidete Knabe hat ein Schwert umgegürtet, was ihn als Mitglied eines hochrangigen Adelshauses zeigt. Zudem hält er einen Stock in der Linken, möglicherweise ein Verweis auf künftige Feldherrnaufgaben. Der hohe Rang seiner familiären Stellung wird zusätzlich durch eine Velumdraperie im Hintergrund angezeigt, aber auch durch die Goldstickereien an der Kleidung, die in Art und Erscheinug einer Goldkette gemalt sind. Eine Identifizierung des Dargestellten ist bislang nicht erfolgt. Das signierte Gemälde trägt die Datierung „1556“ (58?). Kleidung und Habitus weisen auf die Mode, die am Spanisch-Habsburgischen Hof üblich war. Dies um so beachtlicher, als die Malerin erst 1559, also nach Entstehung des Bildes durch den Herzog von Alba, Fernando de Toledo, an den spanischen Königshof berufen wurde, wo sie Philipp II und dessen Familie malte. Das Bild entstand also im Zeitraum ihres Selbstportraits vor der Staffelei mit dem Gemälde „Maria und Jesus“ von 1556-57 (Collection Sirling). Sie portraitierte neben der spanischen Königsfamilie auch viele italienische und spanische Adelige der Zeit. Viele Werke gingen in die Kunstsammlungen des Vatikans ein. Die Malerin war die erfolgreichste Künstlerin der Renaissance. Sie entstammte dem gehobenen Bürgertum Cremonas und erhielt in damals unüblicherweise eine Ausbildung als Schülerin von Bernardino Campi (1522-1592) und Bernardino Gatti (um 1495-1576). Zu ihrem Erfolg trugen auch die Bemühungen ihres Vaters bei, der mit führenden Meistern, darunter auch Michelangelo (1475-1564), in Korrespondenz stand, was für Aufträge sorgte. In vieler Hinsicht wird die Malerin als Ausnahmeerscheinung der Zeit sowie auch als begabte Künstlerin gewürdigt. Es ist überliefert, dass der junge Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) etliche ihrer Werke kopierte. In Sizilien besuchte der Maler Anthonius van Dyck (1599-1641) die inzwischen Neunzigjährige und schuf eine Zeichnung von ihr. (1430621) (11)Sofonisba Anguisciola, ca. 1530 Cremona – 1625 Palermo, attributedPORTRAIT OF AN ARISTOCRATIC BOY Oil on canvas. 84 x 64 cm.Signed and dated “1556” (58?) lower left.
This evocative original oil on canvas was painted after Italian painter Caravaggio's The Calling of St Matthew, originally commissioned for the Contarelli Chapel in Rome. Set in a dimly lit tavern, the interplay of light and shadow exemplifies Caravaggio's pioneering use of Tenebrism and chiaroscuro, which this piece replicates. Reproductions of Caravaggio's works gained popularity during the 19th and 20th centuries, when art enthusiasts sought to study and appreciate his contributions to Baroque art. This reproduction is a testament to Caravaggio's enduring influence and the timeless appeal of his masterpieces. Signature on lower right: WJB, illegible. Artwork dimensions: 19"L x 23.50"H.

THOMAS AMBROISE: (1811-1896) French composer of the operas Mignon (1866) and Hamlet (1868). A good A.L.S., Ambroise Thomas, four pages, 4to, Paris, n.d. (c.1893), to Arthur Meyer, on the printed stationery of the Conservatoire National de Musique et de Declamation, in French. The letter, a draft copy with several corrections, is written in response to a request for Thomas to write a preface to an edition of Charles Gounod´s last compositions, Thomas stating ´Quoiqu´une preface ne puisse rien ajouter l´interet que ces oeuvres, encore inedites, offriront au public, pouvais-je ne pas m´associer au nouvel hommage que les admirateurs de Gounod se proposent de lui rendre?´ (Translation: ´Although a preface can add nothing to the interest that these works, as yet unpublished, will offer the public, could I not join in the new tribute that Gounod's admirers intend to pay him?´) and continuing ´Je me joins donc a vous de tout coeur en souvenir de l´ami avec lequel j´ai traverse la vie: tous deux egalement passionnes par notre art; ayant tous les deux le culte fervent des grands maitres, et nous aimant de plus en plus a mesure que nous avancions vers le soir de notre existence. L´eloge de l´auteur de Faust n´est plus a faire. Je puis donc, sans me livrer a une analyse detaillee des oeuvres qu´on publie aujourd´hui, me borner a constater ques dans les dernieres pages qu´il a ecrites, Gounod est reste fidele a lui-meme. Les Preludes et fugues pour l´etude preparatoire du clavecin bien tempere de J. S. Bach, morceaux excellents, dignes du grande modele qui les a inspires, temoignent, une fois de plus, de l´admiration que Gounod n´a cesse de professer pour celui dont il dit "J. S. Bach est, en musique une etoile de premiere grandeur; comme Dante, Shakespeare, Michel-Ange, il marque un des ces sommets qui ne se rencontrent pas deux fois dans l´histoire d´un meme art".´ (Translation: ´I therefore join you wholeheartedly in remembering the friend with whom I went through life: both of us equally passionate about our art; both of us fervently devoted to the great masters, and loving each other more and more as we moved towards the evening of our lives. The author of Faust is widely praised. I can therefore, without indulging in a detailed analysis of the works published today, confine myself to noting that in the last pages he wrote, Gounod remained faithful to himself. The Preludes and fugues for the preparatory study of the well-tempered harpsichord by J. S. Bach, excellent pieces, worthy of the great model which inspired them, testify, once again, to the admiration that Gounod never ceased to profess for the man of whom he said "J. S. Bach is, in music, a star of the first magnitude; like Dante, Shakespeare, Michelangelo, he marks one of those summits which do not meet twice in the history of the same art".´), further adding ´Quant a ce Requiem auquel il a travaille jusqu´a son dernier jour, c´est une oeuvre d´une haute valeur, ecrite dans un style severe et pur, ou l´on retrouve l´elevation de pensee, le sentiment mystique qui caracterisent toutes ses compositions religieuses. En nous leguant, pour ainsi dire, ses dernieres inspirations, ne semble-t-il pas que Gounod ait voulu encore nous venir en aide, nous defendre contre des tendances et des exces, contre une philosophie nebuleuse qui, chaque jour d´avantage, menacent de nous faire perdre les qualites essentielles et distinctives de notre race? Ne sont-ce pas, en effet, ces qualites qui constituent le genie de Charles Gounod et la beaute de son oeuvre? L´oeuvre de toute sa vie qui lui a conquis et assure a sa memoire une juste et universelle renommee´ (Translation: ´As for this Requiem, on which he worked until his last day, it is a work of great value, written in a severe and pure style, in which we find the elevation of thought and the mystical feeling that characterise all his religious compositions. In bequeathing to us, so to speak, his last inspirations, does it not seem that Gounod still wanted to come to our aid, to defend us against tendencies and excesses, against a nebulous philosophy which, each day more so, threatens to make us lose the essential and distinctive qualities of our race? Are these not, in fact, the qualities that constitute the genius of Charles Gounod and the beauty of his work? His life's work, which won for him and for his memory a just and universal renown´). A letter of good content in which Thomas writes a moving tribute to Gounod. Some very light staining and minor age wear to the edges, otherwise VGArthur Meyer (1844-1924) French journalist, director of the daily newspaper Le Gaulois.Charles Gounod (1818-1893) French composer of the operas Faust (1859) and Romeo et Juliette (1867) as well as Ave Maria (1853), an elaboration of a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach. Gounod spent his last years composing sacred music and died whilst working on the setting of a Requiem for his granson Maurice, who had died in infancy. Ambroise Thomas was one of the pallbearers at Gounod´s state funeral in Paris on 27th October 1893.

The Crucifixion or Christ crucified between the two Thieves is inscribed in the plate 'Luca Bertelli formis', indicating that it was published by Bertelli, who was working in Venice as a bookseller and publisher, but engraved by another, yet-to-be-identified hand. To our knowledge, the print is not described in any of the literature relating to Bertelli's print production (Le Blanc, Meyer, M. Grosso, etc.). The only other impression we were able to find in public collections is in the Albertina, Vienna; catalogued as engraved by Bertelli after Michelangelo (inv. no. It/II/15/81). Only a few sources (Passavant, Nagler and Bianchi) mention the other print in this lot, Christ and the Woman of Samaria, by Mario Cartaro after Michelangelo, with the address of and published by Ferrando Bertelli, another member of the same family of Venetian librai. It is a copy of an earlier version by Nicolas Beatrizet, (B. 17), in the same direction. A third, anonymous version of the subject was sold at Christie's, London, on 19 January 2021, lot 39.
Michele Lucchese after Michelangelo Buonarotti, Italian fl.1534-1564- and Italian 1475-1564- The Climbers; engraving on laid paper, mid-16th century, with a watermark of a Ladder in Shield surmounted by a Star (similar to Woodward 249, circa 1550-60), a fine impression of this rare print, printing sharply and with good contrasts and depth, with many vertical wiping marks, signed with initials 'ML' (within the plate, lower right), bears collector's stamp for Benjamin Robert Haydon [Lugt 412] (lower right), 28.3 x 23 cm. (unframed / mounted). Provenance: Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786-1846), London (Lugt 412). With P. & D. Colnaghi & Co., London (according the label on the back of the former frame). Private English Collection; gifted to the present owner. Literature: Bartsch 487 (Raimondi, copy); Passavant 16. Note: The present work is informed by Marcantonio Raimondi's (1480-1534) print after a detail from Michelangelo's fresco of the Battle of Cascina for Florence's City Hall, which was commissioned in 1504 but never completed. The original work was viewed by a number of artists, including Raimondi, before being destroyed, and was therefore known by later generations only through the work of these contemporary copyists.

Note: The Comte de Caylus's etching is after an original sketch by Michelangelo (1475-1564) depicting Mercury and Apollo, in reverse, in the collection of the Louvre [INV 688].
Michele Lucchese, after Michelangelo, Italian fl.1534-1564, and Italian 1475-1564- The Prophet Ezekiel; engraving on laid paper, titled and inscribed 'EZECHIEL / M.L. cum privilegio. Ant. Lafrery' (within the plate, lower edge) and 'Michaelangelus inventor' (within the plate, below the figure's feet), bears later inscriptions to the mount, 30.7 x 24.5 cm. (unframed / mounted). Provenance: Property of the Late Professor Eric Gerald Stanley, FBA (1923-2018) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Stanley).
