Everett Fahy believes this roundel to be a fragment of the altarpiece formerly in the collection of Johann II. prince of Liechtenstein (from the summer palace in the Rossau, Vienna), sold in 1932,"which I examined in the years 2000 when it belonged to a private collector." Berenson ("Pitture italiane del Rinascimento, Milano,1936, p. 287) listed it as Mainardi, but "I am inclined to classify it.. as workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio". This orig. fragment measures 35 x 28 cm and is set in a round oak panel. The top of the hair has been overpainted to an extent of 17 x 2 cm. Provenance: form. private collection Richard von Schöller, Vienna; private collection, Vienna.
Thumbnail 2 Giovanni Battista Langetti (Genova 1635 - 1676 Venezia) Start Price: 4,000.00Estimate: 8,000.00 - 10,000.00 Giovanni Battista Langetti (Genova 1635 - 1676 Venezia) La morte di Archimede, The Death of Archimedes, oil on canvas, 7 x91 cm, w/ frame, (Wo).€ 8.000 - 10.000 US $ 7.920 - 9.900 Perizia/Expert's Report: Il dott. Adriano Cera ha esaminato questo dipinto in originale e lo ritiene una splendida opera autografa di Gian Battista Langetti (comunicazione orale). During the 2nd Punic War, the Greek city of Syracuse held out against the Romans for two years. The famous mathematician Archimedes, responsible for many of the war machines used in the city's defence, was slain by Roman soldiers following its capture. Langetti era allievo di Pietro da Cortona a Roma dove fu attratto dal naturalismo postcaravaggesco filtrando il quale attraverso il colore veneto. Malgrado morto giovane era importante maestro di questa scuola, nel campo cosiddetto dei "tenebrosi" pittori, che operavano con violenti contrasti di luce su figure come è evidente nello splendido dipinto presente. Langetti e noto soprattutto per un'ampia produzione di quadri di mezza figura - filosofi, giovani eroi definiti alla brava e per una serie di dipinti mitologici di piu sottile impegno pittorico. Provenance: Belgian nobility.
Thumbnail 3 Giuseppe de Ribera (Jativa 1688/91 - 1652/56 Napoli), cerchia/circle of, Start Price: 10,000.00Estimate: 20,000.00 - 25,000.00 Giuseppe de Ribera (Jativa 1688/91 - 1652/56 Napoli), cerchia/circle of, The Apostle Paul, oil on canvas, 74 x 55 cm, vecchia cornice, intagliata, dorata/old, carved, gilt frame, (Wo).€ 20.000 - 25.000 US $ 19.800 - 24.750
Thumbnail 4 Francesco Fracanzano (Monopoli 1612 - 1656 Napoli) Start Price: 37,500.00Estimate: 75,000.00 - 90,000.00 Francesco Fracanzano (Monopoli 1612 - 1656 Napoli) Diogene, Diogenes, oil on canvas, 121,5 x 96,5 cm, bellissima vecchia cornice intagliata, dorata / beautiful, old, carved, gilt frame, (Wo).€ 75.000 - 90.000 US $ 74.250 - 89.100 Il dipinto presente e stato ritenuto tradizionalmente quale opera del Ribera ed e stato riconosciuto solo poco tempo fa da Rudolph Wittkower (cartellino a tergo) e dal prof. Francesco Lattuada come opera autografa di Francesco Fracanzano. Fracanzano era allievo del Ribera, maturo le sue piu fervide invenzioni nell'ambito di un caravaggismo temperato di classicismo barocco, vale a dire che modero l'osservazione della realta con una certa qual disciplina compositiva. Sicche il suo barocco lo si deve scoprire soprattutto nel colore, caldo, sensuale, impetuoso,"alla veneta", come suol dirsi, ma scaldato al fuoco meridionale. Fracanzano was a student of Ribera, to whom this painting has been traditionally attributed. Only recently were Wittkower and Prof. Lattuada able to identify the painting as a work by the hand of Francesco Fracanzano himself. Esposto/Exhibited: London, The Arts Council of Great Britain, "Some Masterpices from Welsh Houses",1946, No.3, come Ribera (dato in prestito dal Lord Harlech). Diogenes of Sinope in Asia Minor (ca. 412 - 323 B.C.) was a proponent of simplicity; the lamp symbolises his quest for truth and virtue.

La sua attenzione al passato, si rivolse anche all'immediato trascorso , come mostra il dipinto qui raffigurato replica di un capolavoro di Domenichino, ora conservato nella Bob Jones University Collection. Gavin Hamilton, a Scot painter who in 1756 permanently settled in Rome, is considered one of the foremost proponents of the Neo-Classicist Roman school. The present painting is a repetition after the major work of Domenichino at the Bob Jones University Collection, USA.

Thumbnail 9 Giovanni Ghisolfi (Milano 1623 - 1683) Start Price: 7,500.00Estimate: 15,000.00 - 20,000.00 Giovanni Ghisolfi (Milano 1623 - 1683) Capriccio con rovine romane e una scena di sacrificio a Marte/Capriccio, Roman ruins and a sacrifice to Mars, oil on canvas, 94 x 131 cm, prima tela, w/ frame, (Wo)€ 15.000 - 20.000 US $ 14.850 - 19.800 Tra i pittori di architettura si distinse il milanese Giovanni Ghisolfi, che fu definito da Salvator Rosa"il piu illustre dei seicentisti nel genere pittorico prospettico-rovinistico". La nostra tela offre molte possibilità di confronto con altri quadri del Ghisolfi (si veda L. Salerno,"Pittori di paesaggio del Seicento a Roma", 1977/78, vol. II, p.678-683) con la stessa maestosità di concezione. Salvator Rosa referred to Ghisolfi as "the most famous" 17th cent. Italian painter of architecture.

Thumbnail 12 Nicolo Guardi (Venezia 1715 - 1786) Start Price: 15,000.00Estimate: 30,000.00 - 40,000.00 Nicolo Guardi (Venezia 1715 - 1786) Vista del Canal Grande con la Chiesa della Salute, S. Salute on the Canale Grande, Venice, oil on canvas on wood, 32 x 42 cm, w/ frame, (Wo).€ 30.000 - 40.000 US $ 29.700 - 39.600 Perizia/Expert's Report: Prof. Dario Succi: "Questa affascinante, suggestiva e cromaticamente calda veduta, fa parte di un gruppo di dipinti che nel passato venivano per lo piu attribuiti dagli studiosi a Francesco Guardi e che sono stati recentemente restituiti dallo scrivente a Nicolo Guardi (Venezia 1715 - 1786), fratello del famosissimo Francesco, la cui professione di pittore di successo ? documentata sin dal 1739. La veduta qui studiata ?accostabile alle due vedute del Museum of Art di Baltimore per le evidenti affinità stilistiche, cromatiche e techniche: le pennellate fluide che definiscono sinteticamente gli elementi architettonici, il cielo argenteo mosso da nuvole toccate con scioltezza, il colore verde smeraldo dell'acqua riflettente il bruno delle architetture, le bellissime figure ("macchiette") a stesura larga, la disinvolta impostazione prospettica, la tavolozza cromatica a prevalenti tonalità calde e dorate. Il nostro dipinto, ? databile intorno al 1755, quando Nicolo Guardi era un pittore ormai affermato e poteva permettersi una bellissima residenza ai Santi Apostoli, Fondamenta dello Squero, per il cui affitto pagava ben 80 ducati, una somma che a Venezia era superata solo da artisti come Giambattista Tiepolo." "This fascinating and suggestive veduta painted in warm colours is one of several which up until today had more commonly been associated with Francesco Guardi. It was the author (Succi) who re-attributed them to his brother Nicolo Guardi." Based on stylistic, chromatic, and technical criteria, Dr. Succi relates the present painting with two Nicolo Guardi vedutas at the Museum of Art in Baltimore, dating them to ca. 1755.At the time, Nicolo Guardi had already achieved considerable recognition, living in an elegant residence near the Fondamenta dello Squero. The rent of 80 ducats would only have been affordable for an artist of a rank comparable to that of Tiepolo.

Thumbnail 15 Bartholomeus Breenbergh (Deventer ca. 1599 - 1657 Amsterdam) attributed to, Start Price: 3,000.00Estimate: 6,000.00 - 9,000.00 Bartholomeus Breenbergh (Deventer ca. 1599 - 1657 Amsterdam) attributed to, Campagna romana con ruderi, Roman Campagna, w/ ruined tower and figures, oil on canvas, 44 x 38 cm, w/ frame, (Wo)€ 6.000 - 9.000 US $ 5.940 - 8.910 The peace and magic of the Roman Campagna has fascinated painters and poets for centuries and shines through the warm evening glow in this capriccio of a ruin and shepherds.
Thumbnail 16 Pier Francesco Mola (Coldrerio 1612 - 1666 Roma) Start Price: 13,500.00Estimate: 27,000.00 - 35,000.00 Pier Francesco Mola (Coldrerio 1612 - 1666 Roma) Paesaggio con la favola di Alfeo e Aretusa, Landscape with Fable of Alpheus and Arethusa, oleo su tela, 99,5 x 75,5 cm, w/ frame, (Wo).€ 27.000 - 35.000 US $ 26.730 - 34.650 Come confermato dal Prof. Sestieri che lo ha accuratamente studiato, (vedi perizia) il presente paesaggio constituisce una significativa nuova acquisizione nel catalogo di Pier Francesco Mola, artista ticinese che, grazie ad una personalità originale e alla copiosa cultura pittorica formatasi sui segreti dell'arte bolognese e veneta, si affermo a Roma nei decenni centrali del XVII secolo. La pittura di paesaggio occupa una posizione di rilievo nell'opera di Mola. I suoi paesaggi accologno scene religiose e mitologiche fungendo da vasto panorama, secondo un criterio che risale all'insegnamento dei bolognesi come i Carracci e Domenichino. Il luogo dell'azione quasi sempre un bosco abitato da alberi di grossa taglia, marcatamente inclinati e dal fogliame compatto e fronzuto. Il colore verde saturo piuttosto scuro contrasta con il cielo nuvoloso attraversato da lampi di luce e bagliori. Nel nostro dipinto è raffigurato la favola di Alfeo e Aretusa, tratta dalle Metamorfosi di Ovidio (V, 572 - 641), quando Diana giunge a soccorrere la ninfa Aretusa, avvolgendo in una nube il dio fluviale Alfeo che si era invaghito di lei. Alla travolgente passione del dio, allude Cupido che lo saetta con suo arco dall'alto, Mentre la figura del vogoroso uomo nudo sulla sinistra, simboleggia le sembianze del fiume che Alfeo sarà constretto a riprendere, pur tentando da allora in poi di unire le proprie acque a quelle della fonte, incarnante la donna amata. La paternità del Mola, confermata da rispondenze stilistiche, tipologiche e compositive (si confronti con il catalogo della mostra Pier Francesco Mola 1612 - 1666, Electa 1989, nn. I.8 - I.9) ? suggellata dal disegno conservato presso la Biblioteca Nacional di Madrid (vedi catalogo Disegni italiani Secoli XVII - XVIII della Biblioteca Nazionale de Madrid, Milano, Bologna, Napoli 1988 - 1989, n.34, p. 59) in cui compaiono Alfeo, Aretusa e Diana, e un accenno paesaggistico ai lati della grande nuvola. L'attenta quadrettatura della carta indica che si tratta del disegno preparatorio per il gruppo di Alfeo e Aretusa nel dipinto presente. The river god Alpheus fell in passionate love with the nymph Arethusa when the latter bathed in his waters. Taking on human shape, he pursued the fleeing nymph until, exhausted, she appealed to her lady, the goddess Diana, for help. The virgin goddess turned her into a spring and from then on Alpheus, returned to river form, sought to unite his waters with those coming from her spring. (Metamorphoses, Ovid, V,572-641). Perizia/Expert's Report: Prof. Giancarlo Sestieri, 22. December 2000:"Il presente paesaggio costituisce una significativa nuova acquisizione nel catalogo di Pier Francesco Mola"("an important addition to the catalogue of works of Pier Francesco Mola").

Thumbnail 18 Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli (Torino 1730 - 1800) Start Price: 11,500.00Estimate: 23,000.00 - 30,000.00 Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli (Torino 1730 - 1800) Paesaggio con un torrente, Landscape with waterfall and figures, firmato nella parte inferiore, bottom centre signed, olio su tela, 155 x 112 cm, vecchia cornice dorata, old, gilt frame, (Wo).€ 23.000 - 30.000 US $ 22.770 - 29.700 Provenance: private collection, Vienna Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli fu un pittore di formazione veneto-francese e specialista in "paesaggi". Se infatti per la grazia dei suoi dipinti lo si puo paragonare allo Zuccarelli. I suoi arcadici come il dipinto presente sono molto ricercati sul mercato. Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli specialised in forested landscapes and the quality of his work has been compared to Zuccarelli or Zais.
Thumbnail 19 Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - 1778 Firenze) Bottega/workshop Start Price: 18,500.00Estimate: 37,000.00 - 45,000.00 Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - 1778 Firenze) Bottega/workshop Paesaggio con pastori, fanciulle e piccolo pifferaio al torrente; e Paesaggio con pastori e fianciulle alla cascata, pendants, olio su tela/ oil on canvas, each 68 x 96 cm, w/ frame, (Wo).€ 37.000 - 45.000 US $ 36.630 - 44.550 Come confermato da Eduard Safarik e da Maurizio Marini nelle loro rispettive schede descrittive, i due pendants "sono opere del pittore toscano Francesco Zuccarelli, paesaggista dell'ambiente veneziano ed europeo settecentesco." A parere dei due studiosi, le caratterstiche compositive e stilistiche dei due pendants suggeriscono una datazione alla maturità dell'artista quasi contemporaneamente il secondo periodo londinese. In the two art historians' view this is a work by the hand of Zuccarelli, approximately from his London period. Perizie/Expert's Report: Dott. Eduard Safarik, direttore della Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Roma, 12 gennaio 1990:"l'individuazione di Francesco Zuccarelli è, dopo un attento esame, da confermare con tutta certezza ... entrambi i dipinti sono di notevole qualità" ("certainly by the artist's own hand and of remarkable quality")! Prof. Maurizio Marini:"opera autografa di Francesco Zuccarelli della maturita zuccarelliana"; il Marini confronta i due pendant con dipinti di Zuccarelli pubblicati da Morassi in "Aspetti della pittura in Lombardia e nel Veneto", edizione di G. Algranti, nn.21-24; e A. Rizzi,"I maestri della pittura veneta del'700",'ad vocem', Udine, 1974. (Prof. Marini:"original works from the mature period of Francesco Zuccarelli").
Thumbnail 20 Andrea d'Agnolo detto del Sarto (Firenze 1486 - 1530) cherchia/circle of, Start Price: 4,000.00Estimate: 8,000.00 - 12,000.00 Andrea d'Agnolo detto del Sarto (Firenze 1486 - 1530) cherchia/circle of, Madonna con Bambino e San Giovannino, olio su tavola,107 x 83 cm, w/ frame, (Wo).€ 8.000 - 12.000 US $ 7.920 - 11.880 Derivante da Andrea del Sarto, questa Madonna con Bambino e il Giovannino va riferita allo stretto entourage del pittore toscano. L'idea centrale del presente dipinto è tratta dalla "Sacra Famiglia con Sant'Elisabetta e San Giovannino" del Louvre, Parigi, da cui derivano la figura della Madonna e del Bambino, mentre il San Giovannino è preso in prestito dall'angelo sulla destra della "Madonna Corsini", opera perduta, ma nota attraverso riproduzioni. Entrambi i prototipi denunciano una diretta presa di contatto con l'arte michelangiolesca. Il totale stravolgimento dei rapporti tra la figura e lo spazio seguiti all'incontro con Michelangelo della Sistina costituiscono la nota piu caratterizzante di questa "Madonna con Bambino e San Giovannino". The painting at hand goes back to Andrea del Sarto and displays the influence of Michelangelo.

Perizia tecnologica/Technical Report: Prof. Dott. Franz Mairinger former head of the "Institut für Farbenchemie" at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, 15. July 2002: dipinto nel'500 in Italia, firma originale; the painting originates in 16th cent. Italy, the signature is authentic, overpainted areas probably exceed existing damage. Giunto ad Atene e disgustato dall'idolatria della città intrattenne nell' agorà epicurei e stoici intorno a Gesù e alla Resurrezione. Considerato come annunziatore di una nuova dottrina, fu condotto da essi al cospetto dei magistrati, il cui consiglio aveva sede sull'Areopago, il colle ateniene dedicato ad Ares. La tavola, raffigurante l'episodio della predica di San Paolo agli Areopagiti, deriva dal grande affresco realizzato dal Garofalo nel 1523 per il refettorio del convento di Sant'Andrea di Ferrara, staccato per ragioni conservative e oggi custodite nella Pinacoteca Nazionale della stessa città. La tavola riproduce la parte sinistra dell'affresco. In the course of one of his missionary journeys, St Paul accepted an invitation by Athens' philosophers to speak about "his new gods" on the Aeropagus, the site of the city's court. Following his sermon, the majority of the audience joined the apostle.

Tra i pittori vicini al maestro, Gessi fu quello che seppe meglio aderire all' interpretazione della luce e del colore del maestro. Dopo il 1621 il Gessi divenne sempre piu autonomo e versatile e non esitò a porsi in aperta polemica con le scelte del maestro. La tela presente mostra il suo legame con il Reni, data la somiglianza di caratteri tra il Santo e le tante versioni di San Pietro penitente del maestro, come ad esempio l'esemplare pubblicato da S. Pepper,"Guido Reni",1988, Appendix n.25) che presenta concordanze nel panneggio e nel modo in cui sono giunte le mani del Santo. Gessi studied with Guido Reni for over 30 years, a fact readily apparent in the painting at hand which is also closely related to the painting of St Peter, published by S. Pepper in his catalogue of works "Guido Reni",1988, Appendix n.25.
Thumbnail 28 Pittore veneto del XVII secolo Start Price: 5,000.00Estimate: 10,000.00 - 15,000.00 Pittore veneto del XVII secolo da Agostino Carracci, San Girolamo / S Hieronymus, olio su tela, 136x98 cm, w/ frame,(Wo).€ 10.000 - 15.000 US $ 9.900 - 14.850 Il dipinto con San Girolamo deriva dall'incisione con lo stesso soggetto che fu l'ultima delle opere di Agostino Carracci e forse la più conosciuta. Di quest'incisione possediamo 4 stati, di cui soltanto il primo e il secondo, incompleti, andrebbero attributi al maestro bolognese. Il nostro dipinto, in cui è evidente l'influenza del michelangiolismo innestato su una chiaria matrice veneta, sembra derivare dall'incisione poichè‚ vi corrisponde in particolari, tranne il dettaglio del dito anulare del Santo, che sia nei disegni, sia nell'incisione ? sempre particolarmente lungo, cosa che non riscontriamo nel dipinto. Ancora un'altra differenza si ravvisa nel mantello del Santo, che nel dipinto sembra essere leggermente più lungo e con la piega finale più ampia. La quasi totale corrispondenza con lo stadio finale dell'incisione, non ancora raggiunto alla morte di Agostino, fa pensare per il dipinto alla probabile paternità di un suo diretto seguace. This composition is clearly based on an etching of Agostion Carracci's final and probably best known work. Within a distinctly Venetian framework it shows the influence of Michelangelo. The powerful and spontaneous brush strokes reflect the monumental quality of the herculean figure as well as the hand of an outstanding artist.

Il pittore fiammingo giunse a Roma intorno al 1529. Sebbene fino a questo momento si fosse orientato alla tradizione fiamminga egli adotti presto uno stile manierista. Raffaello, Michelangelo, Perin del Vaga, Sebastiano del Piombo avevano impatto sul suo stile. Conosciuto con il nome di "Raffaello fiammingo", nel 1539 Coxcie fece ritorno in patria, dove contribui alla diffusione del Manierismo italiano nel nord Europa. Coxcie was the first Flemish painter to address the Italian Renaissance and to introduce the "Maniera italiana" in Flanders. The present painting is based on a prototype by Sebastiano del Piombo at the Eremitage in St. Petersburg.

Il dipinto è un prezioso studio preparatorio per uno degli affreschi realizzati dal giovane Pietro da Cortona nella chiesa di Santa Bibiana a Roma. L'affrescho, raffigurante Santa Bibiana che rifiuta di adorare gli idoli, faceva parte del ciclo dedicato a Santa Dafrosa e alle sue figlie Bibiana e Demetria, che il papa Urbano VIII (1623-1644) aveva commissionato ad Agostino Ciampelli e allo stesso Pietro da Cortona. I lavori iniziarono nel 1624 e si conclusero nel 1626. La partecipazione del Cortona, non ancora trentenne, all'importante ciclo di affreschi, venne forse consigliata da Marcello Sacchetti, che fu uno dei primi committenti romani del Cortona. Il Sacchetti in qualità di depositario generale, si occupava del pagamento per i lavori e fu quindi agevole per lui suggerire al Barberini il nome del Pittore emergente(vedi Bibliografia, Pollak) Esiste a Rennes un disegno preparatorio della Santa Bibiana che rifiuta di adorare gli idoli, che può essere considerato uno schizzo dell' idea complessiva dell'affresco e che mostra molte differenze nella disposizione e nei gesti dei personaggi, rispetto alla versione definitiva ad affresco. Al Contrario, il presente dipinto deve essere considerato uno studio più ponderato destinato a definire la posizione e la gestualità delle figure dell'affresco, in particolare del gruppo di destra, che comprende Santa Bibiana viene addiritura ripetuta due volte, come mostra l'uguale colore verde e la foggio delle veste. La prima volta a sinistra, in una posizione simile a quella del disegno di Rennes, la seconda volta a destra, a destra, in quella che sarà la versione definitiva prescelta per l'affresco.

Apprezzabile per qualità luministica e per la raffinatezza del disegno, il presente dipinto mostra stringente affinità con il 'Giovane con fiasca e ortaggie della collezione Thyssen-Bornemisza a Lugano. Si confrontino in particolare i volti delle due figure, dai tratti fisignomici sottili e acuti nonchè l'identico modo di dipingere forma e intrecci dei fiaschi di vino. Come il dipinto della collezione Thyssen, questo pregevole esemplare del Salini, che risente pienamante del naturalismo e luminismo caravaggesco può essere datato ad una fase matura della carriera del pittore, intorno agli anni venti del Seicento.

"il dipinto presente rammenta un'altra tela di G. B. Recco del Rijksmuseum di Amsterdam raffigurante "Cacciotte e fagiani appesi, galline, uova, un salame ed un coltello su un ripiano", un tempo assegnato al Velazquez ma poi attribuito dalla Critica successiva, e in primo luogo dal Bottari a Giovanni Battista Recco." 'Il senso della realtà che coinvolge i suoi dipinti improntati dai forti contrasti di luci caravaggeschi accomuna anche questa tela che, con l'introduzione delle beccacce appese, convalida una sua prerogativa: quella di aver introdotto per primo la selvaggina nella pittura di una natura morta napoletana."

Crono adotto l'abitudine di divorare, appena nati, i figli. Quando Rea rimase incinta di Zeus, fu consigliato da Urano di farvi a Creta nascere nascostamente il bambino e di simularne poi, una volta nato, la consegna a Crono presentandogli in sua vece una grossa pietra avvolta in fasce che il dio immediatamente ingoio, che poi vomito, seguito dai figli che aveva in precedenza inghiottito (Esiodo, "Theog." 453-506).

Questo dipinto in un palazzo dimostra una scena della vita giornaliere dell'aristocrazia del'700 a Lucca. Il professore Dr. Franco Moro ha confirmato l'autenticità del presente dipinto e ha l'intenzione di pubblicarlo nel futuro. The painting depicts the interior of a palace with various mundane scenes from the life of 18th century Lucca nobility. The head of the family in the left foreground is surrounded by his spouse and children, the music instructor and two clergymen, the latter two presumably portraits of members of the Mansi family. Small groups dispersed around the salon are shown in the course of various activities typical of a Lucchese palace. The salon's size, its splendid Baroque appointments, and the view of the garden convey a sense of wealth and elegance. The influence of Watteau and Lancret, etchings of whose works had become known in Lombardy, is evident in the figures' garments. The palette also reflects Lombardi's familiarity with the paintings of Giuseppe Maria Crespi, while different scenes evoke the work of the Venetian genre painter Pietro Longhi.

Formatosi in patria nella bottega di Abraham Janssens, Desubleo giunse ben presto in Italia trascorrendovi tutta la vita, passando da Roma a Bologna, a Venezia, Milano e a Parma, dove mori. Durante il suo soggiorno romano, egli dovette entrare in contatto con i pittori caravaggeschi. Agli anni Trenta, Desubleo si trasferi a Bologna indirizzando nettamente le proprie preferenze all' insegnamento reniano. Annoverato sempre tra gli allievi del Reni, ne fu uno degli interpreti più originali e autonomi, capace di rivisitare di volta in volta il classicismo del maestro, attraverso la propria formazione nordica, il purismo di Domenichino, la coeva cultura francese e la lezione del colore veneziano. Tra i suoi dipinti religiosi compaiono diversi esemplari di San Giovanni Battista, la cui fisionomia e trattamento stilistico possono essere paragonati al nostro dipinto. Following his training at the studio of Abraham Janssens, Desubleo went to Italy, to Bologna, Venice, Milan, Rome, and eventually Parma, where he also died. In Rome, he came into contact with the Caravaggists, while in Bologna he was influenced by his teacher Reni. His religious paintings include several depictions of John the Baptist closely related to the present painting in their type and stylistic execution.

Owing to its superior quality Prof. Pilo recognises the present painting as an autograph work by Jacopo Bassano, closely related to versions at Washington and Rome which date to the same "or possibly a later period". Accertato come un importante autografo da Jacopo Bassano dal prof. Giuseppe Pilo, l'Annunciazione ai Pastori appartiene ad un gruppo di dipinti dallo stesso soggetto, eseguito con varianti uno dall'altro da Jacopo Bassano e della sua bottega. Gli esemplari più noti, e unanimamente riconosciuti di mano del meastro, sono quelli di Roma, Accademia di San Luca; Washington, National Gallery; Belvoir Castle, Collezione Duke of Ruthland. Il ripetersi dello stesso soggetto segnala inequivocabilmente l'importanza attribuita a tale tema dal maestro e dai suoi allievi. Di questi aspetti, di capitale importanza dello svolgimento poetico e pittorico del percorso di Jacopo Bassano, si trova ampia trattazione negli studi del Prof. Pilo, in particolare in una relazione tenuta nel Corso di Alta Cultura presso la fondazione Giorgio Cini nel settembre 1992 e in una serie di saggi sul tema Jacopo Bassano e la "pastorale biblica"(vedi Bibliografia). Il soggetto dell'Annuncio ai Pastori nelle versioni autografe databile tra il 1557 e il 1558, anche secondo il Ballarin(1992) Bibliografia/Literature: Prof. Giuseppe Maria Pilo, primo in ARTE/Documento/13, 1999, PP.169-175; il secondo in corso di pubblicazione al momento nel prossimo volume della stessa rivista di Storia e Tutela dei Beni Culturali diretto dallo stesso Prof. Pilo.

Personaggio tipico della pittura (ma anche della vita artistica) italiana nella seconda metà del Seicento, questo pittore olandese opero lungamente a Venezia, Milano e Genova, sforzando in serie le "tempeste" in cui si era specializzato. I suoi ampi e luminosi "paesi"suggestionarono, tra altro Marco Ricci. Pieter Mulier, who emigrated to Italy at the age of 28, was a painter of dramatic landscape enlivened by thunderstorms and strong lighting effects. Most major museums contain some of his work.
Thumbnail 66 Bartolomeo Torreggiani detto "del Rosa" (Napoli ? - 1675 Roma) Start Price: 5,000.00Estimate: 10,000.00 - 16,000.00 Bartolomeo Torreggiani detto "del Rosa" (Napoli ? - 1675 Roma) Veduta del Castello di Populonia/View of the Castello di Populonia, olio su tavola, 40 x 90 cm, w/ frame, (Wo).€ 10.000 - 16.000 US $ 9.900 - 15.840 Il castello di Populonia si trova presso Grosseto in Toscana; Castle Populonia is located on the Tyrrhenian Sea, near Grosseto in Tuscany. Bartolomeo Torreggiani, detto "del Rosa" perchè allievo, secondo le fonti, di Salvator Rosa, nacque forse a Napoli in data imprecisata e mori a Roma, pare, nel 1675. Scarse, ma di grande qualità, sono le testimonianze della sua attività artistica come moàstrano i quattro paesaggi ottagonali su rame della Galleria Pallavicini e il paesaggio della Galleria Spada a Roma (si veda L. Salerno, Pittori di paesaggio del Seicento a Roma, Milano 1977 - 78, II p. 656 n. 111.1-2e p. 658, n. 11.4). A questi, vanno altri dipinti, tra i quali, d'accordo con il Prof. Giancarlo Sestrieri (comunicazione orale) va annoverata la "Veduta del Castello di Populonia". La fortezza, cinta da una possente cercia di mura, situata sullo sfondo di un'ampia scenografia lacustre e rigogliosa a poca distanza dal mare Tirreno, a cui fa da fulcro una graziosa cascatella attraversata da filamenti e bagliori di luce. I piccoli personaggi dediti alla pesca e alla converszione ed un numero di figurino sono diposti in profondità a segnare i vari piani della composizione. L'ambientazione serena, le pennellate larghe e sintetiche capaci di delineare i particolari e di suggerire al tempo stesso l'animazione vitale, il tocco sciolto e pittorico dall'accento sottilmente ompressionistico, riscontrabili in tutti gli altri quadri del Torreggiani, offrono una valida conferma dell'autografia di questa luminosa tavola.

A work characteristic of Hendrick van Lint, its unmistakable style reflecting the inspiration which the painter drew from the Roman Campagna and its special atmosphere. Hendrick van Lint si trasfero a Roma agli inizi del secolo e qui rimase quasi stabilmente fino alla morte. Il Van Lint fu uno degli artisti prediletti dagli stranieri che partecipavano al Gran Tour, per i quali produsse la maggior parte dei suoi dipinti: le antichità romane, le vedute fluviali, la campagna laziale i paesaggi alla maniera di Claudio di Lorena. Among the travellers of the Grand Tour, Hendrik van Lint was one of the most sought-after painters. Many of his paintings of Roman ruind, excavations, river landscapes along the Tiber, and landscape in the manner of Claude Lorrain, catered to this taste.

Fu allievo del Simonini e lavoro nello studio di Gianantonio Guardi. Tipico esempio di artista viaggiante, lascio un po per tutta Europa ritratti, quadri aulici e di genere, specialmente raffiguranti battaglie. Il dipinto presente probabilmente e nato nei primi anni di Casanova a Parigi intorno al 1751. Esiste uno disegno per un pendant a questo dipinto di cui foto si trova presso la Frick Art Reference Library a New York. Francesco Casanova, brother of the author and lover Giacomo Casanova, though born the scion of a Venetian family in London, studied with the landscape painter Simonini and with Francesco Guardi in Venice. The present painting presumably originated ca. 1751 in Paris, were Giacomo was a member of the academy. He painted for the French court and later for Catherine the Great of Russia. A watercoloured drawing of a painting matching the one at hand is known to exist. The Frick-Library in New York owns a photograph of the latter.
Thumbnail 71 Livio Mehus (Oudenaarde 1627-1691 Firenze) Start Price: 10,000.00Estimate: 20,000.00 - 30,000.00 Livio Mehus (Oudenaarde 1627-1691 Firenze) Paesaggio fluviale con un castello; e paesaggio fluviale con un ponte; due vedute toscane, pendants, olio su tela, ciascuna/each 59 x 88 cm, w/ frame, (Wo).€ 20.000 - 30.000 US $ 19.800 - 29.700 Pittore fiammingo giunto giovanissimo in Italia allievo di Pietre da Cortona, Livio Mehus fu uno dei più apprezzati interpreti del barocco alla corte dei Medici a Firenze. Identificati inequivocabilmente come opera del Mehus dal Prof. Giancarlo Sestieri, i presenti dipinti, forse realizzati per una delle ville in campagna dei Medici (vedi perizia), raffigurano due suggestive vedute toscane, animate da vivide scene di vita quotidiana. Uno dei due rappresenta un ampia ansa fluviale a cui fa da quinta una maestosa construzione fortificata nella quale si riconoscoe i mulini di San Niccolo bagnati dall'Arno. La lirica intonazione atmosperica, l'acuta sensibilità luministica nonchè‚ gli arditi tagli prospettici denunciano il debito cospicuo del Mehus nei confronti di Salvator Rosa, a cui il fiammingo si rivolse sempre con ammirata e curiosa devozione. Ma la stesura veloce, la pennellata morbida e vibrante unita alla materia ricca e spumosa rivelano la vivace e inconfondibile esecuzione del Mehus che, con la sua inventiva, riusci ad anticipare le soluzioni mosse e ariose dei paesaggi settecenteschi. The Flemish painter Livio Mehus arrived at the Medici court in Florence at a very early age. Prof. Sestieri considers the two paintings to be views of Tuscany, the castle representing a view of the "Mulini of San Nicolo" by the Arno. Mehus was influenced by Salvator Rosa, Pieter Mulier, but also Gaspar Dughet and Pier Francesco Mola. Perizia: Prof. Giancarlo Sestieri,14.

When he declined to do so he was turned out of his home. Refused an officer's commission in the army of Louis XIV, he became his most dangerous enemy after he had been accepted into the military of Emperor Leopold I. Leading the imperial army, he won his first major victory against the Turks in 1697, at Zenta (Senta, then part of Hungary). Domenico Mondo era allievo di Francesco Solimena e autore di grandi tele chiesastiche e di soggetti allegorici-profani. Domenico Mondo was a student of Francesco Solimena in Naples and a painter of large-scale historical canvases. Leopold I. war against the Turk was also of vital interest to the Pope who showed his support in both monetary form and through church propaganda. The 17th century church erected on the present-day Piazza Venezia also commemorates the liberation of Vienna from the Turks in 1683.

September 1989:".. material and method are in accordance with the signature - which has remained almost entirely untouched - and with the dating of other works by Dusart") Dusart lived in Haarlem and never married.

Trautscholdt writes: "Dusart was able to rapidly refine his art to such a degree that his art compared favourably with the paintings of his mentor". The present painting originates in this period of "delicately rendered sunlight and a surprisingly refined colour scheme."

Literature: Matia Diaz Padron, Museo del Prado, Madrid, in "Nuevas pinturas de Vincente Sellaer identificadas en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla y Colleciones Madrilenas", in: "Archivo Espanol de Arte, Madrid,1981, 215, p.364 and. fig.3 (as autograph work Vincent Sellaer). Vincent Sellaer belongs to the generation of Frans Floris and to the early, Leonardesque phase of Dutch Mannerism, epitomised by Jan and Quentin Massys in Antwerp. His oeuvre combines Lombard with Raphaelite and Florentine elements, and as such points the way towards the subsequent phase of Dutch Mannerism. It is likely that Sellaer also spent some time in Italy.

Between 1565 - 1570 he was in Italy, a fact which explains stylistic similarities with Giorgio Vasari, Jacopo Zucchi, and Taddeao Zuccaro. The figures in de Backer's composition at the Kunsthistorischen Museum, Vienna "Madonna mit Johannesknaben und Engeln" appear closely related to this painting.

Accepted into the guild at a very early age owing to his exceptional talent, Willem van Aelst left behind a large number of still lifes the chronology of which can be determined from his signed and dated works. Until 1659 he signed "Willem van aelst" following his return from Italy, however, as "Guillmo van Aelst"; evidence of the fact that the present painting originated after 1659. It shows the artist at the peak of his ability, with subtly rendered objects and fruit and flowers steeped in a silvery light. Literature: Cf.

Delff, one of the earliest Dutch still life painters in the modern sense, was presumably trained by his father Jacob Willemsz. Delff the Elder. The few paintings that have been definitely identified as his work are all undated. The present painting, one of the artist's main works, illustrates various facets of his compositional- and painterly technique; such as balanced arrangement, juxtaposition of different materials, and contrasting lighting effects. The reflecting surfaces of copper pots and bronze vessels reappear in many of his kitchen pieces. In his choice of subject, Delff continues the tradition of Pieter Aertsen and Beuckelaer, though his still lifes are marked by their profane nature and a near unreal spatial perspective. The works can also be compared to the still lifes of Floris van Schooten. Literature: Cf a similar, though less elaborate composition w/ same copper pot upper left and almost identically arranged fishes bottom right, in Erika GemarKoeltzsch, "Holländische Stillebenmaler im 17.

The horizontally arranged compositions feature fishermen hauling in their nets and hunters shooting duck, and their foreground is dominated by large-scale figures and acutely observed details such as boats, baskets, and fishing nets. Cabel's palette is marked by strong greens and yellows and his work is frequently compared to that of Hendrick Avercamp.

The face is based on a portrait as a young man by the father of Velasquez, from 1623. The crown on the cushion is that of the kingdom of Spain while the black garments suggest a bereavement. The painting is of particular historical interest because the early death of the new king Karl II. brought Hapsburg rule over Spain and its vast colonial empire to a close, and resulted in the War of Spanish Succession.

(Wo).€ 22.000 - 30.000 US $ 21.780 - 29.700 A version of this painting can be found at the Musee des Beaux Arts, Brussels. The Duke of Alba (1507 - 1583 Lisbon), Spanish general, statesman, and commander-in-chief of the armies of Emperor Charles V., achieved numerous victories in the wars against France and its papal allies, as well as conquering Portugal for Philip II in 1580. As Governor-General of the Netherlands he was responsible for the capture and public execution for high treason of the leaders of the opposition, Counts Egmont and Hoorn, in the market square of Brussels. Goethe's tragedy "Egmont"(1788) offers a, historically inaccurate, account of these events and provided the basis of Beethoven's overture. Alba's oppressive regime led to the uprising of the Netherlands in 1672, and the severity with which he fought for Spain and the Catholic faith is said to have made him the most hated man of the 16th century.

J. Brun, who published this painting, classifies it as a key work exemplifying the transition from the kitchen- and market scenes of Pieter Aertsen, Joachim de Bueckelaer, and the reviving interest in genre painting in the Netherlands around 1600. Mundane reality, acutely observed in the form of such kitchen scenes, became an important element in the development of still life painting in the early 17th century. The above painting furthermore contains a moral caution, portraying gluttony and carnality as among the worst forms of sensuality. This provides the picture's central theme: the feasting company listens to the seductive melodies of a flute while the cook is seen fondling a chicken - an activity with clear sexual connotations. At the time, fish and sliced salmon where also generally understood as a coded reference to male and female genitalia respectively. The tortoise on the other hand, according to Karel van Mander, offers a symbol of virtue and represents the concept that a woman's proper place is in her own home. Cornelis Cornelisz. was the most celebrated painter of his home town and is known to have influenced even Frans Hals. His exceptional talent found its expression in massive compositions, such as his Slaughter of the Innocents, painted for the government of Haarlem and today in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The present painting is not only distinguished by its exceptional quality and inventiveness but also represents a key image for the development of the still life from pure attribute towards becoming an autonomous art form. It is among the first, perhaps even the first, Dutch composition which assigns fruit, fish, dishes, in other words still life elements, the same significance as to the human figure. Provenance: coll.

Prof. Dr. Justus Müller Hofstede. Provenance: private collection, Brussels. Expert's Report: Prof. Dr. Justus Müller Hofstede,12. April 2002: "In my considered opinion this painting, which I had the opportunity to inspect in the original, is an early work by the hand of the Flemish history-, genre-, and portrait painter Simon de Vos. Simon de Vos studied under the portrait- and history painter Cornelis de Vos (1584-85 - 1651, no relation), and went on to influence the works of Peter Paul Rubens created in the period between ca. 1615 and 1620... As Hans Vlieghe's recent appraisal of the development of Simon de Vos ("Flemish Art and Architecture 1585 - 1700", New Haven - London 1998, p. 112-114) points out, this master's artistic stages during the period before 1640 are most evident in his genre scenes. H. Vlieghe refers to Simon de Vos as a "painter of small-scale works", distinguishing him from the masters of Antwerp monumental painting (P. P. Rubens; A. van Dyck; Jakob Jordaens; Cornelis de Vos). The painting represents a young artist's fascinating and convincing synthesis based on a variety of famous models. The central inspiration derives from a ca. 1536-1537 painting by Maerten van Heemskerck (1498 - 1574) "The Triumphal Procession of Bacchus", painted on oak 56,3 x 106,5 cm, currently at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (Inv. No.990). During the 17th cent. this painting had left the Netherlands where Maerten van Heemskerck was working at the time and belonged to the famous collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in Brussels, as a part of which it arrived in Vienna (cf. Rainald Grosshans, "Maerten van Heemskerck", Berlin 1980, p 126, cat. No. 24, w/ ill.); The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.("Verzeichnis der Gemälde", Vienna 1991, cat. p. 66 w/ ill. plate 300), Heemskerck's painting is in turn based on an engraving by Giovanni Battista Ghisi (Mantua 1498-1563) after Giulio Romano, depicting the same theme). However, Simon de Vos also appears to have been inspired by well-known works of Peter Paul Rubens. The foreground's central motif, for instance, a hoofed female satyr, derives from Rubens' "Drunk Silenus" of 1618 (Munich, Alte Pinakothek, cf. R. Oldenburg, "Klassiker der Kunst Rubens'", Munich 1921, ill. p.177), while the maenad playing the tambourine and embraced by a Negro comes from a composition of the Rubens school (cf. Adolf Rosenberg,"Klassiker der Kunst-Rubens"I. ed, Stuttgart-Leipzig 1905, ill. p.211, still as a Rubens) where the maenad and her companion appear in the foreground; painting missing since 1945). The same composition has contributed the peeing boy in the foreground. The painting shows the typical traits of an early work in its synthesis of different models, thereby avoiding the dependence on a single guiding image and gaining a certain degree of independence. After 1630, Simon de Vos continued his mythological scenes in the signed & dated painting "Sine Cerere et Baccho Venus friget" (without Ceres and Bacchus Venus cools) of 1635 (formerly Prague, Galerie Nostitz) (on the subject of the Bacchus triumph motif in the art and literature of the Renaissance cf. Andreas Emmerling-Skala, "Bacchus in der Renaissance", Hildesheim Zurich-New York 1984, vol. I, pp.43 ("Der Indien-Eroberer Bacchus in der Mythographie"), also p.97 ("Der Triumph des Bacchus") and pp. 148ff. ("Bacchus in der Kunst der Renaissance: Der Feldherr und Triumphator"). The painting before me is also distinguished by numerous "pentimenti" and is in excellent condition. The quality of it colour scheme and the narrative vivaciousness of the different motifs foreshadow the artist's future fame as one of the most important Flemish cabinet painters." The numerous spontaneous alterations introduced during the creation of this painting are the mark of a highly creative artist. Simon de Vos for instance raised the orig. position of the stilt-walker on the left of the painting by 3 cm, as well as altering the size of the wagon wheels, the mule's feet, and many other minor details.

Thumbnail 163 Lucas van Valckenborch (Mechelen/Malines or Löwen/Louvain 1530/35-1597 Frankfurt a M) Start Price: 40,000.00Estimate: 80,000.00 - 100,000.00 "Kaiserlicher Waldspaziergang vor dem Schloß Neugebäude in Wien" Emperor taking a walk in the woods outside Chateau Neugebäude Vienna, oil on canvas,63,5 x 101,5 cm, w/ frame, (Wo) Valuation available upon inquiry The present painting represents a new discovery and one of Lucas van Valckenborch's best compositions, illustrating his close relationship with the Hapsburg family. The painting shows Emperor Rudolf II., House Hapsburg's foremost collector, dressed in red leggings and wearing the order of the Golden Fleece, flanked by his brothers, the Archduke Ernst (on the left) and the future emperor Mathias, and surrounded by their entourage while walking the gardens at Chateau Neugebäude. This group is derived from Lucas van Valckenborch's painting "Kaiser Rudolf bei einer Trinkkur" today at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna (Inv. No.5655)."(Wied). Chateau Neugebäude east of Vienna, (X. district) in its heyday was considered the "most extensive and magnificent garden chateau north of the Alps". The subject of the emperor's 'stroll' exists in two versions: a small miniature painting on copper, only recently acquired by the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, and the above canvas recently discovered in Germany. Both works are by the artist's own hand. It is our considered opinion that the present painting predates the other smaller version, and appears to be the original composition. Dr. Wied also points out that Lucas van Valckenborch's self-portrait in the canvas shows the artist at a younger age than is the case in the small version and he dates both works to the 1590s. He goes on to say that "a comparison of the two paintings also shows a slight difference in the architectural detail of the colonnades". Obviously the larger format requires "a different, more summary brush stroke", Wied writes but "individual faces have retained the wealth of detail found in miniature portraits (Emperor Rudolf II., Archdukes Mathias and Ernst, on the left the self-portrait of the artist). This provides the strongest evidence of the authenticity of the painting. "In addition, Lucas van Valckenborch's oeuvre is documented to include the depiction of a walk in a garden; the relevant entry in the inventory of the collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm (which went on to form the basis of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna) lists "Zwey Landschäffte, worin die Kayserliche und erzherzogliche Herrschaft in Lußt uvnndt Baumgartten spazieren" (two landscapes showing the royal personages strolling through the garden, Wied and Ursula Härting). The painter, Lucas van Valckenborch himself, is shown sitting on a rock in the picture's left foreground. He is looking at the viewer who in is invited to watch him document the walk in the woods in his painting, in the process also painting his own figure. Ursula Härting: "this strange form of self-portrayal as a secondary figure is documented elsewhere in the oeuvre of Valckenborch". In 1566, the Protestant Lucas van Valckenborch fled from Antwerp to Aachen in the company of his brother Martin and H. Vredeman de Vries. From ca. 1577/78, he is in the service of the archduke and future emperor Mathias, then the governor of the Netherlands, and follows him to Linz an der Donau. Dr. Wied is convinced that the first version of this painting, including the topographical detail, was painted in situ, while the colours were applied in the studio, as was common during the period; "Hence, the painting has a particular significance as the oldest authentic view of the Neugebäude" (Wied). Schloß Neugebäude was commissioned by Emperor Maximilians II.(1564-1576), built 1559 - 1567 by the renowned architect Jacopo da Strada, and decorated by the court artists Alexander Colin, Bartolomäus Spranger, and Wenzel Jamnitzer, among others. The background of the picture shows the old Simmering parish church St. Laurentius, on the left there is a view of the flower garden and a tree-lined road leading towards Schloß Ebersdorf (Kaiser Ebersdorf), which was intended to serve as the emperor's residence, and on towards the Marchfeld. The chateau itself was meant to house the imperial collections and serve the purpose of dynastic representation. It was also shaped by the emperor's passion for gardens following his three years in Spain and his encounter with the Moorish gardens of Granada and Seville. The grounds of the Neugebäude furthermore contained a watertower, arcades, a roof walkway, gardens with 1569 fruit trees, vineyards, fig- and bitter orange trees, as well as a menagerie. A third component, finally, was provided by the tent-like architecture of the main building, surrounded by a perimeter wall with ten towers the remnants of which can still be seen today. Maximilian II. deliberately chose the site for its historic and political connotations, it was here that the tent of the Ottoman sultan Süleyman the Magnificent stood during the siege of Vienna in 1529, so that Schloß Neugebäude also served as a form of monumental political propaganda. Soon after 1600, the chateau entered a period of slow decline. In 1704 the rebellious Hungarians under Rakoczy slaughtered the animals of the menagerie and wore the still bloody hides across their shoulders, creating the prototype of old-style Hungarian uniforms. Maria Theresia continued the destruction by having Wenzel Jamnitzer's monumental silver fountain molten down, and the columns of the central portico removed to be used in the construction of the Gloriette folly and Roman ruin at Schönbrunn Palace. Today Schloß Neugebäude is little more than a "mysterious torso, exerting a numinous charm" (Wied). However, following decades of discussions on the subject, the old ruin has gained a new topicality in 2002 after the Vienna city council decided to embark on a partial restoration of the complex. It is likely that this fact also helped to sway the present owner, after years of concerted efforts on my part, to charge the Vienna Dorotheum with the auction of this work.

(Amsterdam 1599 - 1665) studio The Feast of Herod, oil on canvas, 128 x 265 cm, w/o frame, (Wo).€ 12.000 - 16.000 US $ 11.880 - 15.840 As Ludwig Meyer points out this painting shows marked similarities with Isaac Isaacz' "Freudenfest auf den Frieden von Münster und Osnabrück 1648" It is also noteworthy that the painter integrates the feast of Herod into the right half of the picture, following the example of a Rubens painting at the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh, which might be in accordance with the wishes of the person commissioning the painting, perhaps familiar with Rubens' work. The left half of the picture shows this client in armour and surrounded by his entourage. In Ludwig Meyer's opinion the armoured figure is either Prince Wilhelm II. of Orange (1626 - 1650), governor of the Netherlands, or Landgrafen Moritz of Hessia.

And he continues:"The costume as a whole and especially the girl's sleeve are only completely succeeded in your painting with real life, worthy of the master." Literature: J. W. von Moltke: "Govert Flinck", Amsterdam 1965, p.136; No.343a-c, two ill.. Expert's Report: letter from Jan Kosten, RKD,4. November 1999. Govaert Flinck was a renowned Amsterdam portrait painter, who painted historical, biblical, and allegorical scenes. Originally a student of Lambert Jacob, he became one of Rembrandt's best students in the period of 1632 to 1635, and especially in his treatment of biblical subjects, there is evidence of a strong Rembrandt influence in his early work. His portrait on the other hand, which include many Dutch burgers, recall the work of Bartholomäus van der Helst. He also worked for Prince Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg, Prince Johan-Mauritz of Nassau, and the Duke of Cleve.

Erasmus von Huldenberg commissioned Lucas von Hildebrandt to build the splendid garden chateau at Hadersdorf-Weidlingau in Vienna. Expert's Report: Prof. Dr. Eduard Safarik, having inspected the painting in the original, dates it to 1717, two years after the portrait of her husband. Acc. to an inscription on the reverse, the latter was sold for the exorbitant sum of 200 guilders, and it is likely that the artist charged the same amount for the baroness's portrait. Two letters from Prof. Safarik confirm the authenticity of the portrait of Baroness Huldenberg (5. August 1969 and 5. August 1972) and his intention to list it in his planned catalogue of works of Kupetzky. In an oral communication on 17. July 2002 he also expressed his readiness to provide the buyer with a written report, should he or she so desire.

X, Vienna 1935, p.56 -86, w/ 4 plates. The Archbishop and Prince Elector Erthal(1) is shown wearing a pectoral decorated w/ brilliants suspended from a red ribbon, and the cross of the order of German Knights. The archbishop's brother, Lothar Franz Freiherr von und zu Erthal (1717 - 1805) (2), held numerous high posts and was a renowned art collector, bequeathing a valuable library, along with 21.000 prints and 380 drawings to the Graphisches Kabinett in Aschaffenburg Portrait of Sophie von Coudenhove(3). this countess was a historically somewhat controversial figure owing to her considerable political influence with her uncle the Archbishop of Mainz, who considered her his confidante. Following the death of her husband, her opponents spread the rumour that her relationship with her uncle might have been not merely platonic. A brilliant and politically engaged woman, she suggested to her uncle that he should join the alliance of German princes in 1795, despite numerous bribery attempts by the Austrian faction. Erthal commissioned the Würzburg painter Georg Anton Abraham Urlaub to produce these portrait in 1784, in keeping with early Classicism's preference for simplicity and restraint. Urlaub had worked in Würzburg, Bamberg, Nürnberg, and Augsburg, before he was appointed court painter in Mainz. The four portrait were most likely created for Schloß Schöntal near Aschaffenburg. Until its partial destruction by French revolutionary forces, Mainz was by far the wealthiest German archdiocese and it was Archbishop Erthal who founded the University of Mainz and its Academy of Sciences.

Literature: Krafft's portrait served as the model for an engraving by Carl Hermann Pfeiffer (1769-1829) depicted in Marianne Frodl-Schneemann: "Johann Peter Krafft 1780 - 1856", monograph and cat. of paintings. Vienna-Munich 1984, p.158. The catalogue of works still lists the location of this painting (151), only now rediscovered, as unknown. Johann Peter Krafft studied with Füger in Vienna from 1799 to 1802, then with Jaques-Louis David in Paris until 1804. Returned to Vienna he became one of the best portrait painters of his era, employing his exceptional talent in numerous portraits of members of the imperial family and some of the best known history painting of the Napoleonic wars. Goethe also singled him out for praise "Among all the artists augmenting the honour of their home town, one needs to point to the genius of Krafft". In Vienna Krafft also taught at the Academy and served as the director of the Imperial Art Gallery.

Hung."vol.34, 1989. p.235-243; Enikö Buzasi bases his convincing argument on the painting "Hebe den Adler des Zeus tränkend" in the Österreichische Galerie at the Belvedere, Vienna (Elfriede Baum, cat.,1980, vol.2, p.729,730), which on the right shows a near identical column wrapped in a curtain. E. Buzasi: cf. in "Zsanermetamorfozisok/The Metamorphosis of Themes", Budapest 1993, cat. p.180-182, No. A 24. A second version of the above painting, with a slight variation in hair style, can be found at the Museum of Antol, Hungary. Ignaz Unterberger, born into a large family of artists, was influenced by Mengs, Pompeo Batoni, and Anton von Maron. In 1776 he moved to Vienna. Batoni's influence in particular is apparent in the magnificent, richly decorated Hungarian dress, as well as in the statue of Athena. The count belonged to one of the richest families of Hungarian magnates and rose rapidly through numerous court appointments. In 1816 his only daughter Antonia (1797 -1862) married Ferdinand von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld and, upon her father's death, transferred his estate to her husband, from then on calling himself Duke of Coburg-Kohary. This explains how the painting came into the possession of the Sachsen-Coburgs.

An Austrian Trilogy The three paintings below have all been unknown until now. Two of them are by the hand of the renowned Austrian veduta painter Johann Christian Brand, the third by Franz Scheyerer, and together they hold great significance both, in art historical terms as well as for the history of Lower Austria. The landscapes shown in them portray the heartland of a forgotten 'empire' - that of the Lower Austrian entrepreneur and economic pioneer Joseph Edler von Fürnberg (1742 - 1799). With topographical precision and untarnished beauty they evoke a scenery that has largely disappeared today.

Wien 1973; Elfriede Baum. Katalog des Österreichischen Barockmuseums, Belvedere, Wien,1980, p.71, 72; Peter Pötschner,"Wien und die Wiener Landschaft", Salzburg,1978; The "Dictionary of Art", London,1996, Vol.4, p. 663, f.; Saur,"Allg. Künstlerlexikon",1996; vol.13, p.597 f. Dr. Sylvia Schuster refers to this and the following painting as "charming documents of late 18th century Austrian landscape painting" and a "valuable addition to our idea of the Late Baroque landscape". She identified the two paintings as belonging to the late period of the landscape- and veduta painter Johann Christian Brand, who in this case demonstrates a "very individual approach". They are not only topographically accurate but beyond that "pervaded by an airy and radiant atmosphere conveying a fundamentally cheerful mood". Brand successfully expresses "a certain longing for the naturalness of the human condition, lost in the wake of the Enlightenment, together with the growing self-confidence of the middle-class ." The artist offers a detailed rendition of the life and labours of everyday people. Sylvia Schuster:"Only recently rediscovered, these painting document the transition of the Late Baroque feudal worldview towards that of the bourgeoisie of the 19th century. A mature painter turns himself into a quiet revolutionary, erecting a monument to the subtle sensibilities of the rural world in the form of a lordly view." Both paintings depict parts of the domain of Joseph Edler von Fürnberg (1742 - 1799), centred on Schloß Leiben in the southern Waldviertel of Lower Austria. He was involved in the timber industry and the postal system, built roads and postal stations, founded the Weitental's first industries, such as a paper mill in Leiben, and expanded the glass-works at Gutenbrunn. And it was Joseph von Fürnberg himself who commissioned Johann Christian Brand to produce the two paintings under discussion. Eventually his unbridled taste for expansion resulted in heavy debt and forced Fürnberg to sell his estate to Emperor Franz I. in 1795. matches lot 207.

Expert's Report and Literature: cf. the text of the preceding painting, lot 206 The extensive Josephiklause dating to the middle of the 18th century, was an important part of the system of waterways and ponds used in the timber industry of the lower Waldviertel area. Due to the increased demand of the capital Vienna, the industry boomed during the 18th century and its profitability led to Joseph Edler von Fürnberg's acquisition of the entire Weinberger Forest between 1756 and 1769. The trees floated downriver to the Danube, and then transported onward to Vienna. When the demand for fire-wood declined this system was shut down for good in 1870. matches lot 206.

Expert's Report: historical commentary Mag. Martin Bauer,12. May 2002. Like in the preceding painting, the theme of this topographically accurate view is not so much the once mighty Castle of Weitenegg, but the extensive timber industry complex, the work of Joseph Edler von Fürnbergs. Today, no traces of this vast complex remain, some of the buildings having been replaced at a later date by a paint factory. Weitenegg was situated at the confluence of the Weitenbach, used to transport logs, and the Danube, on which ships and rafts carried the timber on to Vienna. As a result the painting is busy with heavy goods traffic, horse-drawn carriages with wine barrels, horsemen, a coach, an ox-cart, and people walking along the embankment. In the background one can see farm-hands riding the tow horses used to pull the empty vessels upstream. matches lot 207. We would like to thank Landeshauptmann Erwin Pröll (Gov. of Lower Austria) for recomending these three paintings in a letter of the"Abteilung Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Niederösterreich" (letter on record).

Expert's Report: Claudia Nordhoff, 19. November 1998. Frau Dr. Nordhoff confirms that she has added this painting to the catalogue of works by Jakob Philipp Hackert (cat.no 412) as a work by the artist's own hand. Literature: Claudia Nordhoff &Hans Reimer," Jakob Philipp Hackert 1737 - 1807". catalogue of works, Berlin 1994, vol. II, No.412. Dr. Nordhoff describes the painting in the following terms: "The picture combines all the typical elements of a river landscape, of the kind produced by Hackert from 1765 - 1767, mainly in the form of gouaches. A similar pair of lovers under a tree appears in a 1767 gouache at the Budapest Museum. The ruined castle and a Gothic church tower "recall the sketches form Hackert's trips through Normandy (cf. the Weimar sketchbook of 1766.)" Dr. Nordhoff dates the painting to ca. 1765/66. Hackert studied at the Berlin Academy specialising in landscape painting, aligning himself with Claude Lorrain and the Dutch painters Swanevelt, Moucheron, Berchem, and Asselyn. In 1765 he went to Paris and Normandy, 1768 move to Rome, 1770 working for the ambassador and famous collector Lord Hamilton in Naples. The numerous views form the surroundings of Rome and Naples eventually made his reputation. He did work for the Pope, Catherine II of Russia, the Borghese, Aldobrandini, the King of Naples, and struck up a friendship with Goethe. In 1799 he moved to Florence where he later died. Both as an artist and a man, Hackert was highly respected among Roman and Neapolitan aristocratic society, as well as among British art lovers, and the circle of friends of Angelika Kauffmann.

Expert's Report: letter from Univ. Prof. Dr. Gerhard Bott,17. March 1995 to the owner of the above painting: "I had, until now, been unfamiliar with this piece and would like to congratulate you on your discovery which will occasion a reassessment of the oeuvre of Soreau." Dr. Bott intends to list this work in his upcoming catalogue of works. Drs Fred Meijer vom Rijksbureau voor kunsthistorische Dokumentatie (RKD), is now likewise familiar with the painting and has also recognised it as an autograph work by Isaac Soreau (information received verbally.) Dr. Bott was the first art historian to recognise the significance of Isaac Soreau as one of the most important German still life painters. In Edith Greindl's opinion the artist is distinguished by "une qualitè eblouissante", "une technique nette précise inegalé comme celle d'un graveur","une tension d'observation peu commune", "une richesse de la palette" and she considers him to deserve the "suscite l'admiration unanime des connaisseurs" Edith Greindl,"Les peintres flamands de nature morte au XVIIe siecle",1983, p.64-67).
Thumbnail 222 Johann Jacob Hartmann (Kuttenberg ca. 1680 - after 1728 Prague) Start Price: 115,000.00Estimate: 230,000.00 - 300,000.00 Johann Jacob Hartmann (Kuttenberg ca. 1680 - after 1728 Prague) Forested River Landscape with numerous figures, fishes, and boats (Allegory of Water), & Forested River Landscape with numerous figures and boats (Allegory of Earth), matching paintings, oil on copper, each 83,6 x 118 cm, w/ frame,(Wo).€ 230.000 - 300.000 US $ 227.700 - 297.000 These two, so far unpublished, matching pieces constitute the major paintings of the most important 18th century Bohemian painter, Johann Jacob Hartmann, also referred to as the "Bohemian Brueghel", as well as being the largest known examples of his work. The wealth of their composition and their virtuosity makes them superior to the smaller Four Elements at the Österreichische Galerie Vienna, likewise painted on copper, the matching paintings at the Landesmuseum Johanneum Graz, as well as to the Hartmann landscapes at the Prague National Gallery. Motifs such as these enjoyed great popularity around the middle of the 16th century, and Hartmann uses them as a means to demonstrate the beneficial powers of the elements. "The Earth, mother of all life, is portrayed in her role as the provider of nourishment" (Elfriede Baum). The right foreground features the fruits of the earth: crops, fruit, game, as well as the preparation of food at a fire. In the background, a fountain symbolises the life-giving liquid. Christ and Magdalene are at the centre of the image while in the left background, surrounded by the green of forests, one can see the buildings of a city. Water: The painting's foreground is dominated by a large catch of fish, as "a sign of water's own fecundity" and "its welcome gifts to mankind" (E. Baum). In the right foreground are Christ and the disciples in boats. In the absence of the sustained development of Bohemian landscape painting during the 17th century, Johann Jacob Hartmann, probably the most significant European successor of Jan Brueghel the Elder, turned his attention to the nature paintings of Dutch artists that Emperor Rudolf II. had attracted to his court in Prague 100 years earlier. The two compositions above, in their technique and colour perspective - the perception of depth created by the dark browns in the foreground, the greens of the middle distance, and the blue of the distant background, along with the light's vibrant quality - all hark back to Jan Brueghel the Elder and Roelant Savery. The bare and gnarly tree defining the right edge of the Allegory of Water is distinguished by a bizarre 'Mannerism' that might come straight out of a work by Savery"; the ant-like figures meanwhile achieve a painterly quality that comes close to that of Jan Brueghel the Elder. Despite a variety of guiding images, the landscapes never appear merely pieced together. On the contrary, Hartmann successfully combines different artistic traditions into an atmospheric, fascinating, and far-reaching gaze across nature and human activity (Reinhold Baumstark).

She lived in Salzburg between 1803 - 1821 and later in Mähren, Prague, and finally Bamberg, producing numerous portraits, including some of the emperors Josef II., Leopold II., Franz II., along with various nobles. Her fresh and carefree manner finds its unmistakable expression in the lively style of her portrait. Her son Johann August Krafft in the portrait above likewise became a painter as well as a lithographer. He accompanied his mother on her travels and moved with her to Bamberg, then on to Munich. He left behind numerous lithographs, including some of King Otto I. of Greece and Duke Maximilian of Bavaria.

Fantastic landscapes like the one above are indebted to Salvator Rosa, who proved very influential for his work during Harms' stay in Rome in the 1670. Like many Italian artists, e.g. Pietro da Cortona, his paintings are full of spatial illusions and trompe l'oeil architectures.

Marx,"Die Gemälde des Louis de Silvestre in der Dresdener Gemäldegalerie", 1975, No.13, ill.). Oeser studied in Vienna under van Schuppen, Daniel Gran, Jan Mytens, and Raffael Donnner, the last becoming his close friend. He left for Dresden in 1739. The 'Thieme-Becker Künstler-Lexikon' states that it was Oeser who later "passed on Donner's idea of the 'noble simplicity and quiet greatness of antiquity' to Winkelmann". The sitter became Prince Elector of Saxony in 1694, a year after wedding Christiane Eberhardine von Brandenburg-Bayreuth. The present painting dates from his second assumption of the throne in 1716. He first took the throne in 1697, achieved solely through bribery and the conversion to Catholicism, but had to surrender the Polish crown in 1706 at the Peace of Altranstädt. Known as the Strong on account of his exceptional physique, he ruled Saxony until 1723, a period in which Dresden flourished. The invention of porcelain by Tschirnhausen and Boettger gave his country a whole new industry. Provenance: Schloß Dahlen in Saxony, built in 1744 - 1751 by Reichsgraf Heinrich von Bünau, was considered on of Saxony's most beautiful Baroque palaces. This was mostly due to its richly appointed interior, to a large part the work of Adam Friedrich Oeser, a friend of Winckelmann and a teacher of Goethe. Starting in 1756, Oeser spent three years creating the chateau's famous wall- and ceiling frescoes as well as a large number of portraits.

March 2002 at the Dorotheum (Lot 255 and 256), the above painting comes from the interior of Schloß Karlsruhe, burnt down after a bombing raid. Ludwig Meyer's research has shown that like the other two works this painting only escaped destruction because Grand Duke Friedrich von Baden had already transferred it to the new chateau at Baden in ca. 1853. On 11. October 1995 it was sold at auction along with the other two works by Sotheby's London as part of the collection of the 'Markgrafen und Großherzoge von Baden', though with an erroneous attribution.

In 1723 he returned to Vienna and worked for the Schwarzenberg family until 1735, creating the frescoes in the Palais Schwarzenberg. His most important works were the frescoes for the court library, which gained him the appointment as court painter and his elevation to the ranks of nobility. According to Prof. Bushart the present painting is the "to date unknown modello for the ceiling fresco in the first vault of the so-called 'martial' wing of the great hall of the Imperial library, built by Johann Bernhard and Emanuel Fischer von Erlach'. The study shows only minor differenced from the fresco. A second, likewise very similar, sketch can be found at the Salzburg Residenzgalerie, though that version has been shortened (cut?) on both sides and is even closer to the final version than the painting at hand. The above work may therefore "be regarded as the earlier and complete version, which was presumably presented to the Emperor for his approval"(Prof. Bushart). Provenance: South German private collection. Expert's Report: Prof. Dr. Bruno Bushart, 28. July 2002; Dr. Eckhart Knab, 31. July 2002: "The study in oils shows the signature style of the master, whose warm and polychrome colour scheme, enamel, and atmospheric mood were praised by his contemporaries, and which later also inspired Maulbertsch." Dr. Knab compares the "studies soft and sensualist colours to the ceiling fresco at Schloß Eckartsau. Literature: Cf.

Small-scale cabinet paintings such as the two works above were created for art lovers and as such personally executed by the artist, in this case Platzer, himself, rather than with the help of his assistants, as was more commonly the case during the Baroque period. The delicate style and vibrant colours catered to the refined tastes of the noble and bourgeoise buyers. The picture is full of highly animated figures from what one might call a "paradise of the senses". Two paintings by Johann Georg Platzer were sold by the Dorotheum on 7. October 1998 (lot 313) for the record sum of € 590.000.

July 2002: This painting without reservation shows all the painterly characteristics of an autograph work by Paul Troger. Though the format suggests that it may have been a study for the large painting at the Historisches Museum der Stadt Wien, its careful execution makes it a work of autonomous significance, and will be entered as such into the catalogue of works included in my monograph on Paul Troger currently under preparation. The Pietà portrays this traditional theme in a highly individual manner, even though the posture of Christ's body evokes the influence of Annibale Carracci's Lamentation. The close relationship with the approach evident in Georg Raphael Donner's Lamentation relief at the Österreichische Galerie (Inv. No. Lg. 5) and especially his Pieta at the Church of Gurk has already been pointed out elsewhere. Given the relatively similar date of origin, it appears possible that Troger may have intended his Pietà as a homage to his friend Donner, who died in 1741. A valued vesper painting is also documented as having been sold as part of the estate of Paul Troger during the auction on 26. November 1762. Literature: cf. W. Aschenbrenner-G.

July 2002.: Dr. Baumgärtel holds that this so far unpublished painting can be dated to the 1770s and the artist's London period, and points out that in 18th cent. painting there is hardly another example of this subject. As in other cases, Angelika Kauffmann was inspired by her detailed reading of the authors of antiquity, in particular the clever and courageous acts of their heroines, who she graciously portrayed as the true heroes of history's turning points. Baumgärtel writes: "The scene convinces by means of its factual and simple composition, proving Kauffmann's early openess towards Classicist ideas. From antiquity up to the 20th cent., the tale of Ariadne had informed numerous works of literature and fine art. Theseus, the son of the Attic king, decided to slay the Minotaur, who every seven years devoured fourteen boys and girls. The daughter of the King of Crete, Ariadne fell in love with him and offered her help; to keep him from getting lost in the monster's labyrinth, like all the other men who had tried before, she gave him a ball of wool to unwind as he moved deeper into the maze. Theseus was eventually able to defeat the Minotaur and then find his way back out again.

The above depiction of the Roman Campagna offers an excellent example of Loutherbourg's ability to combine his talents into compositions of superior harmony. Although the scene contains an echo of his model Berchem, the painter is able to assert his individual style. He was a member of the Royal Academies in Paris and London. The next 31 paintings come from a traditional Austrian industrialist family's private collection going back 200 years. With the exception of three works cleaned by our restoration department, the painting are covered with a very dark varnish - the 19th century's popular 'gallery tone'. The collection comprises examples of every major European school of painting.

È recente la sua scoperta come grande pittore di natura morta, che Michel Faré ha rimesso in piena evidenza. Il Faré mette lo stile di Hupin "proche du style de Meiffren Conte"(circa 1630 - 1709). Opere di Hupin si trovano nella Galleria d'Orlane a Casalmaggiore(Cremona) e presso il museo di Auxerre (Francia). Sono state vendute due opere di Hupin nel Dorotheum di Vienna nel 1991 in coppia come opere di Francesco Fieravino. Jaques Hupin, whose work is frequently mistaken for that of Francesco Fieravino, a.k.a. il Maltese, is a typical proponent of the French school of ornamental still lifes whose importance as a still life painter was recently rediscovered by Michel Faré.
