AFTER PIERRE MIGNARD (FRENCH 1612-1695)Madame de Montespan sur le Grand Canal, 17th - 18th centuryoil on canvas99 x 122 cm (39 x 48 in.)LOT NOTESThe present lot depicts Athenais, Marquise de Montespan, in a familiar pose and setting for late 1670s portraiteur. Mignard and his contemporaries revised this subject in numerous works to celebrate Louis XIV`s two most precious affections at the time: the Marquise herself, known as the "reigning beauty of the court," and finishing construction of the Palace of Versailles and its famous Grand Canal. Seated in the foreground, Madame de Montespan is depicted gently embosoming the drapes in Bourbon's own royal colors of blue and gold. A pair of swans can be seen in the distance swimming together symbolizing the love and loyalty shared between the Marquise and King Louis XIV. Their children are depicted playing in and around the garden sculptures.Francoise Athenais de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Marquise de Montespan (1640-1707) was the most well-known maitresse en titre of King Louis XIV of France. Born into one of the oldest noble families of France, she had extensive access to French aristocracy. She won the favor of kind and country by giving birth to eight children of Louis XIV and thereby becoming an ancestress of several royal houses in Europe, including those of Spain, Italy, Bulgaria and Portugal.PLEASE NOTEIf you will be bidding live on auction day, please note that Session I of the Auction (Asian and Russian Fine & Decorative Art), starts at 10:00 AM New York Time and goes from Lot 1 through Lot 254.

ADOLPHE JOSEPH THOMAS MONTICELLI (FRENCH 1824-1886)Fete Galante, oil on panel36.9 x 46.1 cm (14 1/2 x 18 1/8 in.)signed lower leftPROVENANCEPrivate Collection, ChicagoLOT NOTESAdolphe Monticelli once said "I paint for thirty years from now", and indeed, despite a subject matter that frequently evokes the 18th century, his brash impastos and sumptuous palette influenced a generation of Post-Impressionist artists, most famously Paul Cezanne and Vincent van Gogh. Having met in the 1860s, Cezanne and Monticelli formed a friendship that lasted decades. In the 1870s and `80s, the two artists took multiple trips to the countryside, including a month-long trip to the Aix-en-Provence, where they would paint landscapes. Likewise, Van Gogh was one of Monticelli's chief admirers, frequently referencing his work in letters, attempting compositions inspired by the artist, and even paying to have a book published on Monticelli in 1890. Although Monticelli fell out of fashion during the 20th century, there has recently been a resurgence of interest in the artist, including an exhibition in 2009, Van Gogh-Monticelli in Marseille.PLEASE NOTEIf you will be bidding live on auction day, please note that Session I of the Auction (Asian and Russian Fine & Decorative Art), starts at 10:00 AM New York Time and goes from Lot 1 through Lot 254.

He has been praised for his monumental and unsentimental treatment of the peasant life with which he himself was so familiar from an early age. Lhermitte at once showed the hard, daily toil of the rural working class and imbued his subjects with a sense of dignity so often lacking in the works of his predecessors. Lhermitte revisited the subject of women doing laundry on the banks of the Marne on several occasions, but this composition focusing on two young women at dusk is among his most striking. When Depart des Laveuses le Soir was shown in 1892 at the Salon exhibition of the new Societe nationale des beaux-arts it caused quite a stir, and in the catalogue raisonne Monique Le Pelley Fonteny has accrued an extensive list of reviews and mentions of the painting in contemporary publications. In the 20th century, the work continued to fascinate and inspire its audience during the decades it was at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.Ever since first seeing his work in the early 1880s, Vincent van Gogh was taken with the Lhermitte: “He`s a master of the figure. He`s able to do what he likes with it -- conceiving the whole neither from the color nor from the local tone, but rather proceeding from the light -- as Rembrandt did -- there`s something astonishingly masterly in everything he does -- in modeling, above all things, he utterly satisfies the demands of honesty.” (Letter to his brother Theo, September 2, 1885)In the dapples of soft pink on a robin egg blue sky, the reflections of the setting sun in the water highlighted with scrapes from the wooden end of the brush, and the delicate silhouette of the carefully modeled peasant woman`s profile shimmering in the twilight, one can sense Lhermitte`s attempt to create a synergy between the teaching of the academies and the play of light using unadulterated colors popularized by the Impressionists. The admiration heaped upon Lhermitte by the van Gogh brothers may have also contributed to the artist`s association with Boussod, Valadon & Cie, the prominent international gallery which signed an exclusive contract of representation with Lhermitte in 1887. Vincent van Gogh (the uncle of the painter) was a partner at the firm, and both of the brothers were at one point or another employed by the gallery, as well.PLEASE NOTEIf you will be bidding live on auction day, please note that Session I of the Auction (Asian and Russian Fine & Decorative Art), starts at 10:00 AM New York Time and goes from Lot 1 through Lot 254.
