Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669) The Raising of Lazarus: Small Platesigned in the plate 'Rembrandt f.' and dated 1642 (lower left)etching with drypointthe first state (of two), a fine impression with delicate lines of Lazarus' forehead still visible15 x 11.5cmLiterature:Bartsch, Hollstein 72; Hind 198; New Hollstein 206Provenance:Monogram verso (Lugt 2420) of Thomas Thane (1782-1846);Stamped initials verso (Lugt 1375) of Henry Studdy Theobald (b. 1847),Probably one of his sales, Christie's, London, April 1910 or HG Gutekunst, Stuttgart, May 1910;Acquired in 1911 by the father of Jeremy Pemberton of Grantchester and thence by descent,Gifted by Jeremey Pemberton in 2003 to The Right Reverend Peter Walker (1919-2010), Bishop of Ely (1977-1989)The Raising of Lazarus was a particularly significant subject for Rembrandt. He first painted the scene, from the New Testament, in around 1630, early in his career when he was still in Leiden. It was the culmination of his artistic development at that point and likely inspired by the friendly rivalry with his collaborator Jan Lievens (see Lot 222), who also produced a painting of the miracle. Rembrandt retained his own version (now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art) for most of his life until his bankruptcy sale of 1656.Rembrandt made two etchings of the same theme. The first, the 'Large Plate', was created around the same time as the painting and similarly shows a young artist experimenting overtly with the dramatic effects of chiaroscuro.The present etching, the 'Small Plate', was made a decade later and displays a more intimate and delicate rendering of the subject. Indeed, Christ himself is depicted as a serene healer, rather than the theatrical enchanter of the earlier works. The image is an altogether more personal and introspective interpretation of the subject by a mature artist now in full command of his technique.
Attributed to Giovanni Battista Cipriani RA (Italian, 1727-1785) Portrait of Frederica Augusta Schaub, Mrs William Lock, with her children William Lock the Younger and Charles Lockoil on canvas35.5 x 30.5cmProvenance:Presumably by descent through the sitter's granddaughter, Elizabeth Blake (née Lock), Lady Wallscourt (1806-1877),The Collection of Lord Wallscourt (according to a label on the reverse);With Sabin Galleries London (as Giovanni Battista Cipriani)Frederica Augusta Schaub (1750-1832) was the daughter of the celebrated 18th century diplomat Sir Luke Schaub. In 1767 she married William Lock (1732-1810), a noted art collector and patron who, before his marriage, had travelled with Richard Wilson from Venice to Rome and later employed Giovanni Battista Cipriani, George Barrett, Sawrey Gilpin and Benedetto Pastorini to decorate interiors at Norbury Park which he purchased in 1774.Indeed, the Locks were artistically very well connected and were both later painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence. It is likely that this intimate portrait was executed by a painter closely linked with the family, such as Wilson or Cipriani, who based the work on earlier Italian models of the Madonna and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist; an etching by Cipriani of that subject (see Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1985-52-14400) is close in composition to the present picture.The two children depicted are William Lock the Younger (1767-1847), who would himself become a successful artist, a pupil and friend of Fuseli, and Charles Lock (1770-1804), later the British consul-general in Naples during the Neapolitan Revolution of 1799. Both sons were also subsequently painted by Lawrence.
