Biography Following in the footsteps of his brother Wouters, also a painter, he moved to Antwerp, where he was appointed apprentice to Pieter Coecke in 1529. According to Carel van Mander, he later studied with Lambert Lombard in Liège, where he would have had Frans Floris as a classmate. In 1542 – shortly after Lombardo's return to Italy – he appears registered as an independent master in the guild of Saint Luke of Antwerp, of which in 1552 he was appointed dean. Registered in 1549 as a citizen of Antwerp, he died suddenly in 1568 after achieving wealth and a solid social position thanks to the portraits and historical paintings of him, painted with a scholarly hand according to the verses of Lamposonio to his portrait. Valued mainly as a portraitist, among those who sat for him were Cardinal Granvela and the Duke of Alba, whose portrait, preserved in the Liria Palace, is possibly the last one he painted and closest to another portrait of the same subject painted by Titian. Van Mander also praised him for his religious paintings, some of them destroyed in the iconoclastic attacks of the beeldenstorm or iconoclastic fury. In a work like The Last Supper from the Dordrecht Museum, the Italian influences, perceptible, for example, in the architectural backgrounds, and the Flemish details coexist satisfactorily with the portrait skills of the painter, who portrays himself as a beggar in the Lower right corner. This ability to incorporate the novelties that came from Italy without having traveled there and combine them with the Flemish tradition may explain why Lamposonio or Van Mander considered him an erudite painter. His disciple and distant relative was Adriaen Thomasz. Key, whose works are sometimes confused.

Oil on canvas 99 x 73.5 cm The painting shows significant elements of 17th century Spanish portraiture and its greatest representative, Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez. Our canvas was born in the circle of artists who grew up under his influence, among them the most important students: Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo, Juan de Pareja and Juan Carreño de Miranda. At the age of twelve he entered Francisco Pacheco's workshop, immediately demonstrating his talent. In 1618 he was already an independent artist, he worked in the city painting with a strong influence of Caravaggio. He moved to Madrid and became official painter to Philip IV. He thus had the opportunity to explore the court collection and cultivate a particular interest in the Venetian school and Titian in particular. Probably following the advice of the Rubens, he traveled twice to Italy, an opportunity to closely study the different schools of painting and the great masters, refining his style and concentrating on the pictorial and environmental interpretation of light. Loved and respected by his colleagues from his time, thanks to Alonso Cano y Zurbarán he was granted the title of Knight of Santiago. His painting of excellent quality and realism was experienced after his death thanks to his students, among them: Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo, Juan de Pareja and Juan Carreño de Miranda.

Certificate is attached. Oil on canvas. Canvas measurements: 80 X 50, framed measurements: 107 X 72 cm. Born in Guadix but raised in Granada, the city where he spent his childhood and adolescence, and in whose school period he would make friends with Federico García Lorca and Manuel Ángeles Ortiz, and as an adult, with Juan Cristóbal, Falla and Andrés Segovia. In the Prado he practices as a copyist of El Greco, Titian, Hieronymus Bosch and Francisco de Zurbarán. It will be the still lifes of the latter and his visit in 1917 to the exhibition “Great French Impressionist Painters” at the Museum of Modern Art in the capital of Spain, who will later define part of his work.​ He returns to Granada and makes the cover of Impressions and landscapes by his friend the poet Federico García Lorca. In 1921 he went to Paris, where he settled irregularly, with eventual returns to his country. In Paris he saw his work recognized by Picasso, the publisher Tériade, and the poet, dealer and animator of the magazine Cahiers d'Art, Christian Zervos. In Spain he appeared in 1932, invited by the Society of Iberian Artists; That year he was recruited by Manuel Bartolomé Cossío to participate in the "Circulating Museum" or "People's Museum" of the Pedagogical Missions, together with Blesa, Fernández Mazas or Eduardo Vicente, coordinated by Ramón Gaya in the task of copyists of singular works. On September 28, 1933, he married Susana, Zervos' first wife, in Cannes, with whom he traveled to Spain from Bilbao to Madrid and from here to Granada in 1933. In 1934 he was a witness at the marriage of Georgette and César. Vallejo. In 1937 he participated in the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exhibition. He had his last major exhibition in 1952. He died in Paris at the age of seventy. There is news of two anthological exhibitions after his death, one in 1968 at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, and another in Spain in 1976, organized by the bank of Granada, a city in which he has a street dedicated to him. Related works: two still lifes by the Andalusian artist preserved in the Raina Sofía Museum. Provenance: old family collection from a mansion in the South of Spain.

A documentary Nymphenburg cabinet plate, circa 1821Painted by Louis-Socrate Fouquet with a portrait of a lady after Titian within a burnished gilt border tooled with formal borders around the well and foliate scrollwork around the rim, the reverse inscribed in black 'Copirt nach Georgion./ aus der Königl.

Jahrhunderts aus der Twinight Collection New York (2007), p. 77, ill. 88This plate was part of a commission of a dessert service for King Max I of Bavaria, which may have been inspired by the similarly-decorated Sèvres Service 'à marli d'or' for the Emperor Napoleon. The subjects on the Nymphenburg service are mostly after old master paintings and reflected the Bavarian king's preferences; like the Sèvres service, the gilt borders had various patterns. Twenty-seven plates were delivered to the court and were kept in the Silberkammer (now displayed in various museums). Eight plates recorded as having been painted by Fouquet for the service (including the present lot) were either not purchased by the court or have not survived. The explanation may lie in an ongoing dispute over payments between Fouquet, who trained at Sèvres and may have been engaged specifically for this service (possibly at the instigation of the king), and the chief painter, Anton Auer. The latter, who was responsible for evaluating the painters' work, felt that the quality of Fouquet's painting did not justify the price he asked, while Fouquet in turn blamed any deficiencies in his work on the poor quality of the colours supplied by Auer. As a consequence of this dispute Fouquet left the manufactory, and it is possible that the plates painted for him for the dessert service but not acquired by the court were subsequently sold.

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. Innumerable notable works passed through Volpi's ownership, including the Annunciation by Botticelli currently in the Metropolitan Museum in New York, acc. no. 1975.1.74, and the Portrait of Cardinal Pietro Bembo by Titian, in the National Gallery in Washington, acc. no. 1952.5.28 (both originally in the Barberini collection in Rome).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Positing that the improvised hack could form the basis of another model line, Pon doodled a van with the driver and engine positioned above the front and rear axles respectively on April 23rd 1947. Although his concept struck a chord with VW’s management, demand for the Type 1 (Beetle) was such that productionising the Type 2 (Bus) was not a priority. A prototype was eventually built and its successors refined via the wind tunnel at the Technical University of Braunschweig with the result that their drag coefficients tumbled from 0.75 to 0.44 (the Beetle / Type 1 was 0.48 by comparison). Greenlit on May 19th 1949, the very first Type 2 rolled off the production line just under six months later. The initial Kombi and Commercial variants were subsequently joined by Microbus, Pick-Up and Ambulance derivatives. Nicknamed the ‘Split Screen’ or ‘Splittie’ on account of its distinctive, two-part, V-windscreen, the first iteration of the T1 lasted until 1967 in Germany. However, production of the Type 2 (T1) continued in Brazil under licence for another eight years. Not available in Europe, the ’15-Window Kombi Luxo’ featured the same basic glazing layout as the revered ’23-Window Samba’ but without the latter’s sunroof or eight skylights. The extravagant ‘wraparound’ rear corner windows common to both models were not only aesthetically pleasing but also gave exceptional all-round visibility. More weathertight and easier to curtain than a 23-Window, the 15-Window ‘Buses make for great Campers. Built during the 1967-model year, chassis B7126554 was imported from Brazil to the UK by its previous keeper a decade ago after a prolonged search using a local agent to find a structurally sound example. Stripped to bare metal the only panels that required replacing were reportedly the side seals and sundry floor sections. Painted in the striking combination of Titian Red over Lotus White by RS Automotive, the Volkswagen was also kitted out as a Camper Van with a ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ bed, twin gas hob, electric sink, multi-speaker stereo, Red / White upholstery, USB ports, 240v plug socket, real oak counter tops and ‘black out’ curtains etc. Uprated with a German gearbox that Peter Englezos of Cogbox had rejuvenated, the Type 2 also benefited from an overhaul of its 1600cc flat-four engine which gained a correct-type replacement Solex carburettor. Twin port manifold and uprated MoFoCo cylinder heads. Boasting a factory-fitted servo, the braking system was enhanced with new drums all round, while Peter Good from Volks Goods provided a replacement wiring loom. Nice touches abound such as a custom-made window wiper motor and yolk with self-park and two-speeds plus an EMPI short shift gear lever, US-specification over rider bumpers and chrome-plated steel wheels / hubcaps.

While strolling on a beach in Sidon, the beautiful Phoenician princess Europa encounters Zeus, who transforms himself into a bull in order not to draw attention to his wife Hera. Europa approaches the impressive animal to stroke it and it kneels and entices her to climb onto its back. The Bull then carries her off to the Island of Crete, where their union results in the birth of Minos, Rhadamanthus and Sarpedon. The iconography was popular in the Ancient world, depicted in wall paintings, mosaics and vases, and was painted by artists such as Titian in 1559-1562, Rubens in 1628 and Rembrandt in 1632.

MATTHEW WILLIAM PETERS RA (1742 - 1814)A Woman in Bed (Lydia)Oil on canvas35.5 x 40cm (14 x 15")Provenance: Private collection Paris The present work, which exists in several versions including one in Tate Britain, relates to Peters' 1777 Royal Academy exhibit, the titillating 'A Woman in Bed.' The work was painted for Lord Grosvenor, and draws on the example of Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805) whose art Peters had studied in Paris. A review noted the problematic dynamics involved in the display of such an overtly erotic work to the mixed audience at the Royal Academy rather than in the libertine circle of Lord Grosvenor, who kept Peters' painting behind a curtain to heighten the voyeuristic effect as it was unveiled. The subject’s leer, the reviewer wrote, and ‘her still more inviting bosom…prevent the pictures around them from being so much seen and admired as their merits demand, for every man who has either his wife or daughter with him must, for decency sake, hurry them away from that corner of the room’. After a period in Dr Sheridan’s School, in Dublin, Peters embarked on his artistic career, studying under Robert West, whom he portrayed in a fine charcoal double portrait showing the master painting his pupil (1758, National Portrait Gallery, London). Having won a series of prizes at the Schools, and after a period working under Thomas Hudson (1701-79) in London, Peters was dispatched to Italy by the Dublin Society to complete his studies. In Rome, he studied at the Accademia del Nudo and at Pompeo Batoni’s private academy. He moved to Florence in 1763 where he copied Masaccio’s frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel and – with more lasting effect on his art – Titian’s Venus d’Urbino, one of the jewels of the grand ducal collection on display in the Tribuna of the Uffizi. In September of that year Peters was elected to the Florentine Accademia del Disegno. Peters returned briefly to Dublin in 1765, or early the following the year, but, despite flattering press coverage in the Freeman’s Journal, he soon sought the larger stage of London. He exhibited at the Society of Artists in London until 1769, when he showed both with the Society and the newly formed Royal Academy, thereafter transferring allegiance to the latter body. For this, in 1771, he was rewarded with associate status with full membership following – after another sojourn in Italy – in 1777. Despite his success in the metropolis, Peters did not entirely forget Dublin but sent work back to the Society of Artists’ shows on two occasions, in 1768 and 1777.

The prints were published in the same year as the set by Battista Pittoni. While Pittoni works closely to the work of Hieronymus Cock, Du Pérac shows his own designs. Du Pérac represents as no other the lively renewal and interest in sixteenth century Rome, his prints form a a key source for the state of the Roman monuments at that time. / Dimensions: 21,00 x 38,50 cm / Condition: Superb good inked impression with good plate tone.

Bruni Sakraischik, Catalogo Generale Giorgio de Chirico, Vol. I, Opere dal 1951 al 1970, Milan, 1971, no. 49 (illustrated).An enigmatic maverick in the history of modern art, Giorgio de Chirico forged a unique and long career. Hailed as the master of Metaphysical art, in the 1950s he departed from the elusive imagery that defined his early career and created his most celebrated depictions of Venice as part of his 'late Baroque phase'. These works which are rooted in realism as opposed to the imagination, stand out within his oeuvre, and derive from his desire to reconnect with the history of Venice and the dignity of the old masters which shaped the city's cultural legacy. Beyond the metaphysical elements of much of his corpus, the present work places his brand of genius in close conversation with his forefathers and is an affirmation that he too belonged to the lineage of the great Italian masters.Born in Greece to Italian parents, de Chirico was surrounded by classical mythology, art, history, and architecture during his childhood. He first visited Venice in 1905 and throughout his career exhibited his paintings at the Venice Biennale. These sojourns provided ample opportunity for de Chirico to paint the sites, study the architecture, and to immerse himself amongst the masterpieces that fill the ancient city. For de Chirico, Venice served as an open-air studio from which he could draw endless inspiration.Executed in 1956, Ponte di Rialto is testament to the artist's mastery of paint and use of colour. From its fine architectural lines to the palpable texture of the water and the clouds, the work strikes a wonderfully balanced tone with its compositional symmetry. With the iconic Ponte di Rialto commanding the centre of the scene, the calm canal widens into the foreground as three gondolas glide across the surface, exuding a sense of serenity. The detailed facades of the architecture capture the sunlight, while dramatic shadows are cast into the water. The harmonious colour palette - comprising blues, greens, ochres, and pinks - is skilfully brought together by the bold red banner hanging from the keystone, proudly presenting the artist's signature to the viewer.Ponte di Rialto reveals a central desire of the artist held throughout his career, as described by Stephen McKenna: 'de Chirico saw himself as a man with a mission to fill (...): the preservation, or rather restoration, of the dignity of painting, the reestablishment of a respect and love for the Old Masters and the values they represent' (S. McKenna, Late de Chirico 1940-76, exh. cat., Bristol, 1985, pp. 11-12). De Chirico's relationship with Venice is comparable to Monet's relationship with Giverny – it was his own artistic playground, enabling him to develop his ideas and techniques. Moreover, his depictions of the city's canals, piazzas, and churches placed him in dialogue with the great Italian painters such as Titian, Tintoretto and Canaletto. Paying homage to the tradition of rendering the city's deep colours, teal canals and neoclassical facades, de Chirico also found Venice to be the ideal environment in which to hone his artistic skill and experiment with colour.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

FRANK AUERBACH (B. 1931)From the Studios II 1992 oil on board43.2 by 40.6 cm. 17 by 16 in. This work was executed in 1992.Footnotes:Provenance Marlborough Fine Art Ltd., London Acquired directly from the above by the present owner Exhibited London, Marlborough Fine Art Ltd., Frank Auerbach: Recent Works, 1997, n.p., no. 36, illustrated in colour Literature William Feaver, Frank Auerbach, New York 2009, p. 318, no. 704, illustrated in colourWilliam Feaver, Frank Auerbach, New York 2022, p. 360, no. 704, illustrated in colourFrom the Studios II is a strikingly fresh and beautiful example of Auerbach's inimitably personal and deeply emotive body of North London cityscapes. Rendered in a majestic and jewel-like palette of green, red, yellow and ochre pigment, the intensity of the artist's response to the subject is gloriously brought to life through Auerbach's bravura handling of oil paint, for which he is so well known. Executed in 1992 as part of a suite of paintings on the same subject, the composition focuses on a view of Auerbach's studio that the artist encountered day in, day out. He journeyed to the studio every day since he first took up residence in a Victorian building in Camden over sixty years ago. It is a place with a long history of art: before Auerbach, the building had been used by painters Frances Hodgkins and Leon Kossoff. This painting shows us a place that is obviously dear to Auerbach's heart, the approach along a narrow, unassuming alleyway to his cluttered, paint-flecked studio space. First capturing its image in 1977, this is a subject that the artist has repeatedly returned to throughout his oeuvre. And yet each version has its own unique qualities, its own distinct methods and manners. While hardly a picturesque spot in any conventional sense, the artist locates beauty in this messy corner of a busy city.The considerable complexities of colour and composition apparent in this present work distinguish the painting from previous paintings of this scene. Compared to the predominantly dark hues of the earlier To the Studios series executed between 1979-80 where, principally, blues are set against strokes of purple and sombre hues, the palette seen here is particularly bold, ranging from the liberal use of an acid yellow sky, to arresting juxtapositions of red and green pigments. Space and form emerge from a dense lattice of lines and patches of colour are built up and scraped back in rich layers of impasto. The tension between Auerbach's treatment of the surface as a material object and the image's illusion of three-dimensional depth invigorates the entire composition.With two works from the series owned by Tate, London, the The Studios series is unanimously considered one of the finest series in Auerbach's oeuvre: these works herald the unmistakable 'all-at-onceness' of Auerbach's vision across an exquisite range of captured moments. The present work draws upon Walter Sickert's cityscapes of North London, as well as the quality of 'individuality, independence, fullness and perpetual motion' within the landscapes of Auerbach's mentor and teacher David Bomberg (the artist in: Frank Auerbach, 'Frank Auerbach in conversation with Catherine Lampert', Frank Auerbach, London 1978, p. 8). Hailed as one of the most influential painters of the 20th century, Frank Auerbach was born in Berlin, Germany in 1931. Arriving in England as a Jewish refugee in 1939, he attended St Martin's School of Art, London, and studied with David Bomberg in night classes at Borough Polytechnic, before culminating his final studies at the Royal College of Art and has since remained in London. His first exhibition was held at London's Beaux Arts Gallery in 1956. Initially he was criticised for his thick application of paint, but found support from the critic David Sylvester, who identified the exhibition as one of the most exciting and impressive first one-man shows by an English painter since Francis Bacon. By the early 1960s, Auerbach had established himself among the ranks of what would later become known as the 'School of London', a group that included Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon. The latter, in particular, shared much of Auerbach's sensibility: the two artists favoured painterly intuition over carefully studied precision, viewing painting as a means of pinning down human sensation. However, despite his affiliation with the School of London artists and comparisons to Francis Bacon, Auerbach also sought to engage in the explicit dialogue with the art historical canon, and cites numerous old and modern masters as influences, including Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, Constable and Picasso. Auerbach would continue to exhibit regularly at the Beaux-Arts Gallery until 1963. From 1965 he first exhibited at the Marlborough Gallery, and today his works have become some of the most internationally collected of a living artist. Indeed, his career-defining 2015-2016 retrospective at London's Tate Britain demonstrated not only the variety of the artist's works, but also his global following, and included works gathered from private collections across the world. From the Studios II presents a unity of architectonic structure, organic brushwork and luscious combinations of vibrant, rich hues. Through brilliant colour and a faultless exhibition of Auerbach's charismatic painterly gesture, this present work carries a powerful, personal and emotional charge. The work encapsulates a seminal exposition of Auerbach's thoroughly compelling Studio series, that is completely fresh to the market having remained in the same Private Collection since the early 1990s.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Titian Vecellio (1488 -1576 )- Follower, Venus with Amor in landscape, large painting, oil on canvas in a 19th century gilded frame, damages, 120 x 65 cm.

Attributed to William Etty RA (1787-1849) after Titian The figure of Bacchus from Titian's Bacchus and Ariadneoil on canvas76 x 55cmProvenance:Consigned by the granddaughter of the artist Warren Williams (1863-1941)This work derives from Titian's famous picture in The National Gallery, London. The original entered the collection in 1826, thenceforth being easily available to both the general public and copyists. Etty certainly knew and admired the work and his posthumous studio sale at Christie’s, 6-14th May 1850, included, as lot 631, a copy by him catalogued as 'Bacchus and Ariadne, after Titian’. In the late 1820s, the likely date of the present work, Etty was particularly interested in Bacchanalian subjects and greatly inspired by the prototypes of both Titian and Poussin. Around 1827, he himself acquired, from Lord Northwick, a copy of Titian’s Bacchanal of the Andrians which became one of his prized possessions.We are grateful to Richard Green for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support. The edges of the canvas have been reinforced and the canvas tension is stiff and in plane. The paint layers are in a stable condition overall. An old damage near the centre of the picture has been filled and retouched. The varnish layer is even but slightly yellowed with surface dirt and white accretions present.
