Henri Evenepoel, "A la terasse aux Ambassadors"Szene des mondänen Pariser Nachtlebens, mit Kellner bei der Bedienung einer Dame auf der Terrasse des "Ambassadors", hierzu schreibt das belgische Künstlerlexikon "... ab 1893 hielt er das Spektakel des Pariser Lebens und das geschäftige Treiben auf den Straßen fest. Die Vielfalt der populären Typen fasziniert ihn, manchmal bis hin zum Naturalismus ... Er interessierte sich für die grafische Kunst seiner Zeit und schätzte Steinlen, Chéret, Forain, Willette und Grasset. Er selbst versuchte sich als Lithograph und Radierer. ..." und "Esprit Montmartre - Die Bohème in Paris um 1900" ergänzt "... Der junge Künstler war von seinem neuen Leben [ab 1892 in Paris] begeistert. Er sog alles auf, was Paris zu bieten hatte, besuchte den Louvre, die Ausstellungen der Indépendants, die beiden Salons, das Moulin Rouge und natürlich die Ateliers der Künstler. ... [zu seinen] Vorbildern gehörten Jean-Louis Fourain, Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Jules Chêret und allen voran Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Dieser sei, so schrieb Evenepoel 1898 an seinen Vater, »ein Künstler von immensem Wert, ja, gar ein vollendeter Künstler«. Besonders in Evenepoels Pariser Szenen ... sind die Einflüsse von Forain und Toulouse-Lautrec deutlich sichtbar. ...", Radierung auf Karton, unsigniert, wohl posthumer Abzug kurz nach 1900, lichtrandig und gegilbt, hinter Glas und Passepartout gerahmt (Rahmung gelöst), auf dem Passepartout Schild "Henri Evenepoel 1872-1899", Plattenmaße ca. 11 x 13 cm.

Erste in Florenz gedruckte Commedia-Ausgabe, die erste mit dem sehr umfangreichen Kommentar von Cristofor Landino und der "Gratulatio" von Marsilio Ficino. Wie üblich nur mit zwei in den Text gedruckten Kupferstichen. Bis auf vier Textblätter und die weissen Blätter vollständiges Exemplar. "Niccolo di Lorenzo of Florence is the only printer thus far far encountered that did not abandon copper engraving after the first asttempt. He conceived the idea of the first illustrated Dante. At the head of each of the one hundred cantos he planned for an engraving. A magnificent folio resulted, but the illustrations give an almost perfect picture of the difficulties which he was not able to surmount. Of the one hundred engravings contemplated, only nineteen were finished. No copy is known to-day in which more than three of these are printed on the same page with the text, but in the bottom margin of the page - simply because the printer in setting up the type had forgotten to leave space for it! To-day, we invariably find it badly cropped. The balance of the nineteen engravings - and only a ferw copies contain this full number - are alwys pasted in. Some authorities have endeavoured to relate the engravings to Botticelli's designs, and to attribute them to the Florentine engraver Baccio Baldini. The discovery of a real series of Botticelli drawings for Dante, now at Berlin, which must be dated after 1490, has made rather short shrift of this theory." (Philip Hofer, Early Book Illustration in the Intaglio Medium, I, in: Print Collector's Quarterly vol. 21, No. 1, 1934, S.218ff.). "In most copies only the first and second plates are printed on the book's own paper, the others being ommited altogether or seprately printed and pasted on their places. In a few, of which this is one, the plate for Canto II is repeated at the head of Canto III. These illustrations influenced those of the Brescia and Venice editions of 1488 and 1491." (Katalog Dyson Perrin, No. 23). Das vorliegendeExemplar weist diesselbe Eigentümlichkeit auf. Da vorliegende Exemplar wurde zu Beginn des 20. Jhs. mit 22 Faksimiles der originalen Kupferstiche versehen. Sehr reizvoll ist an diesem Exemplar, dass die im Druck fehlenden Verse - die mit grossem Aufwand gemachte Ausgabe ist nicht sehr zuverlässig! - von einer zeitgenössischen Hand ergänzt wurden (Inferono Canto VI 3 Verse, Canto XXX 4 Verse; Purgatorio Canto XXXII 6 Verse und Paradiso Canto XVI 4 Verse). Eine weitere Eigenheit dieses Exemplars ist, dass die Recto-Seite des zweiten Blattes des Purgatorio nicht bedruckt, die Verso-Seite hingegen korrekt bedruckt ist. Durchgehend fingerfleckig, ebenfalls zahlreiche Bräunungen und schwacher Stockfleckenbefall. Das erste vorliegende Blatt stark fleckig, im Falz verstärkt und mit einigen Löchern. Einige weitere Blätter des Prooemiums im Falz verstärkt Der Unterrand des ersten Blattes des Inferno weggeschnitten und durch ein Faksimile des originalen Kupferstiches ersetzt; aussderdem Riss, im Falz unterlegt. Eine Reihe weiterer Blätter mit alten Ausbesserungen in den Rändern und an den Ecken. Auf einigen Blättern Besitzeintrag " Ex libris Nuti" oder "Io Franco Nuti"; ein Francesco Nuti gehörte zu den Spendern für das Dante-Monument in Santa Croce in Florenz.

Four Nudes with Two Herons signed and dated 1935 (lower left), oil on board 108 x 93cm (42.5in x 36.5in) Footnote: Born in Jersey in 1913, the daughter of Lieutenant Colonel John Dymoke Scale, she married in Cairo Cathedral Brigadier Rupert Norton Harding-Newman in November 1939, he was awarded an MC in 1942 and served in the Secret Intelligence Service. Scale attended Farnham School of Art where she was taught by Otway Maconnell FRSA RBA, later going onto Goldsmiths College where she was taught under the guidance of James Bateman RA. She studied Early Renaissance painting and was greatly influenced by the work and palette of Michelangelo, Botticelli, Piero della Francesca, as well as El Greco. Rowland Hilder taught her line drawing, but she was much more interested in producing large scale mythological and biblically based subjects, such as the work offered here, which provided Scale with much more scope for adventure and fantasy. Her large-scale compositions were initially worked up in sketchbooks, she would then produce a working watercolour or drawing which would be squared up ready to place onto the gesso prepared board. In 1933 at the age of nineteen she had her first painting exhibited at the Royal Academy and between 1933-38 Scale had seven paintings accepted and hung. Later in 1936 she was invited by the National Gallery of Canada to exhibit at an exhibition of Contemporary British artists such as George Spencer Watson, Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Stanley Spencer amongst others. She also exhibited at the RBA and for many years with the Society of Women Artists. She later settled in Somerset and then Dorset after her husband retired. In 1995 Kathleen Muriel Harding-Newman as she was now known had a retrospective of her work held at the Dorset Museum in Dorchester. 'Artist’s Resale Rights (ARR) may apply to this lot'.

Provenance: Lot 137 - Christie, Manson & Woods, Catalogue of highly important pictures by old masters, the property of the late Charles Butler, Sold £1,102. Thence by descent. Notes: Previously attributed to Bernardino di Betto, known as Pinturicchio (Little Painter), this rare work has only recently been uncovered as a work by The Master of Marradi. The full-length Madonna and Child shows the Christ-Child holding a pendant suspended from the neck of the Virgin Mary. Seated on an altarpiece set within a landscape, behind a procession and town can be seen. The work was verified by Everett Fahy (1941-2018) in the mid-1990s and images and details are available in the Everett Fahy Photo Library found here.The Master of Marradi produced altarpieces, tondi, ornamented chests or forzieri, and small devotional panels in Tuscany between the late 15th Century and the early 16th Century. The artist is named after the location where a large nucleus of his works are located, conserved in the church of San Lorenzo at Marradi, in the province of Florence, situated in the Appennines dividing Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. His works were originally situated in the nearby abbey church of Santa Reparata in Salto at Badia del Borgo, and consist of five altarpieces, the most important of which represents the titular saint of the abbey complex, the Santa Reparata Altarpiece, dated 1498. The latest work in his oeuvre can be dated with certainty; it is the Enthroned Madonna and Child of Montefiridolfi of 1513.During the last century, various scholars identified this anonymous artist with a specific artistic personality: among them were Roberto Longhi and Wilhelm Suida, who proposed different names. However, it was during the 1960s that Federico Zeri coined the current and generally accepted name, based on his identification of the most substantial body of works by this anonymous Master at Marradi. Zeri identified this artist as a follower of Domenico Ghirlandaio and his circle, active in both Florence and its territories, as was the case with Marradi. Moreover, the artist reflects the influence of his contemporaries, including Botticelli, Filippino Lippi, and Perugino, by creating works (such as the present one being offered) in which rigorous compositional sobriety is combined with a delicate linearism. This is seen in the figures’ gracefully depicted faces and draperies, and in the detail, such as the Virgin’s transparent veil.

Beginning his career as a restorer and assistant to fellow Florentine Stefano Bardini, he began selling antiques in the mid-1890s. Initiating such a business in Florence at this time was highly auspicious and lucrative, as the market for antiques was flourishing with new material after the renovation of the historic centre of the city, beginnning in 1866.

[SM]. • Botticellis Ikone der Renaissance, die 'Geburt der Venus' (Uffizien, Florenz), erklärt Warhol zu einer Ikone der Pop-Art. • Warhol ist ein Meister der Adaption und Verfremdung: stark fokussierter Bildausschnitt, intensive Pop-Art-Farbigkeit und Ausführung in mehreren Farbvarianten. • Durch die Konfrontation von Renaissance und Gegenwart, Einzigartigkeit und serieller Reproduktion, Aura und Adaption fordert Warhol unsere traditionellen Vorstellungen von Kunst heraus und schafft ein faszinierendes Sinnbild seines neuen Kunstbegriffes. • Warhols künstlerische Auseinandersetzung mit Sandro Botticellis 'Geburt der Venus' ist das berühmteste Blatt der Werkfolge 'Details of Renaissance Paintings' neben Meisterwerken von Piero della Francesca, Paulo Uccello und Leonardo da Vinci.

[SM]. • Warhol makes Botticelli's Renaissance icon, the 'Birth of Venus' (Uffizi, Florence), a pop art icon. • Warhol is a master of adaptation and alienation: closeup view, gaudy pop art colors and an execution in several color variants. • Confronting Renaissance and present age, originality and mass production, aura and adaptation, Warhol challenges our traditional ideas of art and creates a fascinating new concept. • Alongside masterpieces by Piero della Francesca, Paulo Uccello and Leonardo da Vinci, Warhol's exploration of Sandro Botticelli's “Birth of Venus” is the most famous work in the series “Details of Renaissance Paintings”.

GRASSO, LAURENT1972 Mülhausen/FrankreichTitel: Ohne Titel (Studies Into the Past). Untertitel: 2-teilig. Datierung: 2013. Technik: Jeweils: Öl auf Holz. Maße: 75 x 33cm. Rahmen/Sockel: Rahmen. Provenienz: - Sammlung Prof. Dr. Thomas Olbricht, Essen- Eines der international gefragten Gemälde der Werkserie "Studies into the Past"- Meisterhafte zeitgenössische Umsetzung des Jan van Wassenaer von Jan Mostaert- Starke räumliche PräsenzDie 2009 begonnene Werkserie von Laurent Grasso, die unter dem Titel "Studies into the Past" zusammengefasst ist, veranschaulicht wie sehr die Werke des Künstlers von einer Meditation über die Zeit durchdrungen sind. Der Korpus besteht aus Zeichnungen und Ölgemälden auf Tafeln, deren Stil und Ausführung von italienischen und flämischen Malern des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts wie Fra Angelico, Piero della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, Andrea Mantegna, Sandro Botticelli und Pieter Bruegel dem Älteren inspiriert sind. Durch Grassos Augen betrachtet, wird dieses Kapitel der Malereigeschichte jedoch durch die Anwesenheit von Fremdkörpern unterbrochen, die perfekt in jedes Bild integriert sind. An die Stelle der für die Epoche charakteristischen mythologischen und religiösen Erzählelemente treten Himmelserscheinungen, die vor dem 19. Jahrhundert selten dargestellt wurden - Finsternisse, Polarlichter, Meteoriten - sowie seltsame Rauchwolken, ein über einer Landschaft schwebender Felsen, ein unzusammenhängender Vogelflug in einem Wald. Diese Einfügung von Fragmenten der Zukunft in Gemälde aus der Vergangenheit schafft mehr als nur ein Gefühl des Anachronismus: Die Studien in die Vergangenheit sind in der Tat ein großes konzeptionelles Projekt, das darauf abzielt, unsere Wahrnehmung der Realität einer anderen Epoche zu rekonstruieren. Die Werke sind zeitgenössisch, aber so konzipiert, als stammten sie aus einem anderen Zeitalter, und werden mit wissenschaftlich exakten historischen Methoden von Spezialisten-Teams (einschließlich Restauratoren) ausgeführt. Grassos Ziel ist es, durch diese Verschmelzung verschiedener Zeiträume ein, ein wie er es nennt, "falsches historisches Gedächtnis" zu schaffen, so dass es in ferner Zukunft unmöglich sein wird, die Entstehungszeit der Werke zu identifizieren. Er scheint zu versuchen, ihre Historizität zu manipulieren und ihre Beziehung zur Zeit zu verändern.

In 1974, the artist left Iraq for Moscow to further her studies in monumental art on a scholarship at the Surikov Institute. She remained there for six years, where her artistic endeavours were fostered by a community of Iraqi intellectuals. In the wake of political conflict, Aleiby was unable to return to her homeland and instead relocated to Italy where she was inspired by the Renaissance masters. The work of Sandro Botticelli, for example, has HAD a noticeable influence on Aleiby's practice. Her serene female figures, such as in Capello Bianco (White Hat), often resemble European court society portraiture or formal ecclesiastical iconography (notably the Madonna). Aleiby uses these female figures to reflect beauty, taste, politics and society and to emphasise the significance of women in society. Aleiby lives and works in the Netherlands, and has participated in numerous exhibitions throughout her career, from Baghdad and Moscow to Yemen, Italy, Syria, Lebanon, England and the United States. Her paintings are held in important international public and private collections, such as Azman Museum’s collection, Farjam Foundation, Rana Sadik Collection, Beth Rudin de Woody Collection and Barjeel Foundation.
