ELISEO MEIFRÈN ROIG (Barcelona, 1857 - 1940)."Marina".Oil on canvas.Signed in the lower right corner.Size: 45 x 64 cm; 63 x 82 cm (frame).Eliseo Meifrén captures in this painting a subjective nature, of romantic influence. He chooses a convulsive stormy day, looking for a cold, twilight and mysterious atmosphere that gives nature a special lyricism. There is a development of spatial depth; the space is perfectly constructed in the foreground, with marked waves that serve as a backdrop to an intermediate plane with large rocks and the representation of a sailboat tossed by the wind; acting as a backdrop, other boats and a blurred and confused scene, as if covered by a dense fog. In the foreground Meifrén's brushstrokes are dense and precise, and he constructs the forms on the basis of rich, varied chromaticism and subtle, carefully studied changes of light and shade.A disciple of Antonio Caba at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, after completing his studies he spent some time in Paris, where he coincided with the public beginning of Impressionism and became acquainted with "plen air" painting. He returned to Barcelona in 1879 and that same year he won the gold medal at the Regional Exhibition in Valencia. The following year he made his individual debut at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, where he continued to exhibit regularly from then on. He was a member of the Modernist group and frequented Els Quatre Gats. Although he was also a portraitist, Meifrèn was eminently a landscape and marine painter. He was one of the discoverers of the pictorial possibilities of Cadaqués, and he also used to paint Mallorcan landscapes (he was director of the School of Fine Arts in Palma). He made several trips in search of new landscapes, especially to France, but also to the Canary Islands, Belgium, Italy and the United States. He held exhibitions in Barcelona, Madrid (1881), Chicago (1893), Paris (1899), Brussels (1910), Santiago de Chile (1910), Buenos Aires (1910), Amsterdam (1912) and San Francisco (1915), among many other cities around the world. His style began with the detailed realism that dominated the Catalan school at the end of the 19th century and gradually evolved towards Impressionism, a language that would not be fully evident in his work until his last years. Throughout his career he won numerous prizes, including the first medals at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid (1906) and Barcelona (1896), the Nonell prize in Barcelona (1935), the bronze medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris (1888) and the grand prizes at the International Exhibitions of Buenos Aires (1910) and San Diego (1916). In 1952, Barcelona City Council dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him, held at the Palacio de la Virreina. He is represented in the Museo del Prado, the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, the MACBA in Barcelona and the Thyssen-Bornemisza, among many others.
LUIS BLESA Y PRATS (Valencia, 1875-ca. 1934)"Reynaldo and Armida".Oil on canvas. Triptych.It has a perforation on the left side.It has slight damage to the maro.Signed, titled and dated in the lower left corner.Measurements: 110 x 51 cm (x2); 122 x 150 cm; 134 x 284 cm (frame).Triptych with frame made by the author, which presents a theme based on the text "Jerusalem liberated", written by Torcuato Tasso. The work tells the story of Rinaldo, a Christian warrior, and Armida, who has been sent to prevent the Christians from completing their mission and is about to assassinate Rinaldo while he sleeps, but instead falls in love and creates an enchanted garden where she captures him as a prisoner. Finally, two of Rinaldo's companions find him and place a shield over his face so that he can see his image and remember who he is. Rinaldo can barely resist Armida's pleas, but his comrades insist that he return to his Christian duties. At the end of the poem, when the pagans have lost the final battle, Rinaldo, remembering his promise, prevents Armida from giving in to her suicidal impulses and offers to return her to her lost throne. She yields to this and becomes a Christian.Luis Blesa was a teacher at the San Carlos School of Fine Arts in Valencia, where he studied. He regularly submitted his works to art competitions and contests and was awarded an honourable mention at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1897 and a third medal at the 1910 edition. A Spanish painter specialising in religious themes, the present work is a smaller copy of the canvas painted by Velázquez around 1631-32, now in the Museo del Prado (248 x 169 cm). It is one of the most famous works by the Sevillian master, and was painted for the convent of the Benedictine nuns of San Placido in Madrid. It is said to have been donated by Philip IV as a token of repentance after having seduced a nun who was professing there. It is a work of unusual modernity and elegance, with the figure of Christ vividly illuminated by a tenebrist light, standing out against a dark, neutral background. Special mention should be made of the head, fallen on the chest, with a lock of hair that hides part of the face, a seemingly simple device but one that multiplies the pathos of the image. In this work Velázquez achieves such serenity, majesty and humanity that it has become the best known and most effective image of Spanish devotion.
Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson A.R.A (1889-1946)Swooping Down on a Taube (Black 21; Leicester Galleries 28) Lithograph, 1917, on Holbein wove paper, signed in pencil, from the edition of 200, published by the Stationery Office, London, as part of the series Britain's Efforts and Ideals: Making Aircraft, with wide margins, framed Image 402 x 300mm. (15 3/4 x 11 3/4in.); Sheet 478 x 390mm. (18 3/4 x 15 3/8in.)Footnotes:Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson was one of the great printmakers of the early twentieth century, most celebrated as a chronicler of modern warfare and a master of multiple print techniques. He was held in high esteem by contemporaries such as Walter Sickert and Paul Nash for his acute eye for detail, feeling for composition and technical skill. His experiences as an ambulance driver and medical orderly at the Front imbued his work with a strong emotional intensity and his depictions are regarded as some of the most powerful images of World War I.His first major exhibition held at Leicester Galleries in Autumn 1916 was a critical and commercial success and would lead to his commission as an official war artist in 1917. The Ministry of Information commissioned him to create six lithographs on the theme of Building Aircraft to be included in the propaganda series The Great War: Britain's Efforts and Ideals. These works were taken on tour around the country to boost morale and were sold to raise funds for the war effort.The Building Aircraft lithographs detail the process from manufacture, to assembly and finally to flight. Nevinson was particularly interested in aerial combat, which would play an important new role during the First World War and he produced three images of aircraft in flight. In preparation for the series, Nevinson was taken on his first flight in June 1917 and commented 'the whole newness of vision and the excitement of it infected my work and gave it an enthusiasm which can be felt'.In Banking at 4,000 feet he uses variations in tone and steep diagonals to convey the drama and exhilaration of flight, which is literally a white-knuckle ride as indicated by the hand gripping the side of the aircraft. He invites the viewer to share the experience of being in the air by placing them in the cockpit.Swooping down on a Taube depicts a British Sopwith Camel attacking a German Taube. Taube means dove and the plane was named for its bird-like profile. Nevinson conveys a sense of movement and tension using the sweeping arc of the plane's trajectory set against the strong diagonals, representing rays of light, emanating from the searchlights below. He added scratch marks through the crayon to create highlights which intensify the drama.The immediacy of these images and the unusual viewpoints proved popular with visitors to the Fine Art Society exhibition, with one critic commenting that the artist 'contrives to make the visitor almost giddy' and another that he had 'the power of expressing sensations rather than visual facts'.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Poisson exotique fossile (positif et négatif) Exotic Fossil Fish Preserved in Positive/NegativePalaeobalistum goedeli (Egerton, 1844)Upper CretaceousHaqil, Byblos, LebanonThis extremely rare fossil fish, represented in both positive and negative plates, is an extinct species that has been preserved in perfect detail and symmetry. The matrix is asymmetrical and textured serving to enhance the beauty of the fossils. The specimen displays fine bone and fin structure with no restoration. The teeth are visible in the preservation, and the dorsal and ventral fins are very detailed. The light to dark brown color of the fossil fish is a lovely contrast to the matrix of cream and pale tan. An added bonus is the presence of a few small fossil fish which linger above. Palaeobalistum is a member of the extinct family of ray-finned fishes known as Pycnodontidae, early ancestors to the Piranhas. They first appeared during the Triassic and peaked during the Jurassic before dying out completely in the Eocene Epoch some 50 million years ago. They were mainly sea dwelling, although some may have lived in brackish water, if not freshwater. This group lacked ganoid scales, and most were as tall as they were long in terms of their shape. They were laterally flattened, and their dorsal and anal fins were long and symmetric. They feature unique dentition whereby they have incisive-shaped teeth in the front and teeth shaped for grazing in back which is a characteristic of this group. Their bodies can be covered by spiny bony plates. Measuring 43 x 35 x 3 cm and 43 x 42 x 3 cm (2) Poissons fossiles exotiques conservés en positif/négatifPalaeobalistum goedeli (Egerton, 1844)Crétacé supérieurHaqil, Byblos, LibanCe poisson fossile extrêmement rare, avec son positif et son négatif, est une espèce éteinte qui a été préservée dans une symétrie et un degré de détails parfaits. La matrice est asymétrique et texturée, ce qui renforce la beauté des fossiles. Le spécimen présente une structure de nageoires et des os très fine, sans restauration. Les dents sont visibles dans la préservation, et les nageoires dorsales et ventrales sont très détaillées. La couleur brun clair à brun foncé du poisson fossile contraste joliment avec la matrice de couleur crème et beige pâle. Un bonus supplémentaire est la présence de quelques petits poissons fossiles qui s'attardent au-dessus.Palaeobalistum est un membre de la famille éteinte des poissons à nageoires rayonnantes connus sous le nom de Pycnodontidae, les premiers ancêtres des Piranhas. Ils sont apparus au Trias et ont atteint leur apogée au Jurassique avant de s'éteindre complètement à l'époque de l'Éocène, il y a environ 50 millions d'années. Ils vivaient principalement en mer, bien que certains aient pu vivre en eau saumâtre, voire en eau douce. Ce groupe était dépourvu d'écailles ganoïdes, et la plupart étaient aussi larges que longs. Ils étaient aplatis latéralement, et leurs nageoires étaient longues et symétriques. Ils présentent une dentition unique, c'est-à-dire qu'ils ont des dents en forme d'incisive à l'avant et des dents formées pour brouter à l'arrière, ce qui est une caractéristique de ce groupe. Leur corps peut être recouvert de plaques osseuses épineuses. 43 x 35 x 3 cm et 43 x 42 x 3 cm (2). For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Poisson-lune fossile (positif et négatif) Fossil Moonfish--Positive/NegativeMene rhombea, VOLTA, 1796 Middle Eocene (45 Ma)Monte Bolca, near Verona, ItalyRepresenting an assemblage of the earliest known coral reef fishes, specimens found in the Lagerstätte (German meaning 'storage place') of Monte Bolca, northeast of Verona, are highly valued. Monte Bolca was one of the first sites of high quality fossil preservation discovered in Europe. The Monte Bolca deposits were formed in a lagoon, which was separated from the open sea by coral reefs. Volcanic activity on the nearby mainland produced lava and ashes that caused mass extinctions, explaining the abundance of fossils in this area. The fine-grained limestone and amazing preservation suggests that the animals were rapidly buried in an anoxic (oxygen deprived) environment, allowing for beautiful fossilization. This uplifted ancient sea floor was created during the formation of the Alps—has been the source for remarkably well-preserved fish fossils for hundreds of years. As seen in the present specimen, Mene rhombea is closely related to the modern moonfish. A deep-bodied fish, it displays unusual pelvic fins far forward on the body, which are reduced to spines. An extinct perciform (perch-like fishes) they had a flattened body, triangular tail fin, and an upturned mouth. This species is arguably one of the most aesthetically pleasing of all the Monte Bolca fishes. The present specimen displays a compressed diagonal impression due to tectonic forces. Its irregularly shaped rock plaque is highlighted with soft tan and light gray color tones. Length of the fish, on the diagonal: 18 cm. Matrixes measuring 33.3 x 29 x 2.3 cm and 39.5 x 30 x 3 cm (2) Poisson-lune fossile (positif/négatif)Mene rhombea, VOLTA, 1796Éocène moyen (45 millions d'années)Monte Bolca, près de Vérone, Italie Représentant un assemblage des plus anciens poissons de récifs coralliens connus, les spécimens trouvés dans le Lagerstätte (qui signifie 'lieu de stockage' en allemand) du Monte Bolca, au nord-est de Vérone, sont très appréciés. Le Monte Bolca a été l'un des premiers sites de préservation de fossiles de haute qualité découverts en Europe. Les dépôts du Monte Bolca se sont formés dans une lagune, séparée de la haute mer par des récifs coralliens. L'activité volcanique sur le continent voisin a produit de la lave et des cendres qui ont provoqué des extinctions massives, ce qui explique l'abondance de fossiles dans cette zone. Le calcaire à grain fin et la préservation étonnante suggèrent que les animaux ont été rapidement enterrés dans un environnement anoxique (privé d'oxygène), permettant une fossilisation magnifique. Cet ancien fond marin soulevé, créé lors de la formation des Alpes, a été la source de fossiles de poissons remarquablement bien conservés pendant des centaines d'années.Comme le montre le présent spécimen, le Mene rhombea est étroitement lié au poisson-lune moderne. Poisson au corps profond, il présente des nageoires pelviennes inhabituelles très en avant sur le corps, qui sont réduites à des épines. Un perciforme éteint (poisson ressemblant à une perche) avait un corps aplati, une nageoire caudale triangulaire et une bouche tournée vers le haut. Cette espèce est sans doute l'une des plus esthétiques de tous les poissons du Monte Bolca. Le présent spécimen présente une impression diagonale comprimée due aux forces tectoniques. Sa plaque rocheuse de forme irrégulière est soulignée par des tons de couleur beige doux et gris clair. Longueur du poisson, sur la diagonale : 18 cm. Matrices : 33.3 x 29 x 2.3 cm et 39.5 x 30 x 3 cm (2) Footnotes:Provenance: Property of a German CollectorLit: Sorbini, Lorenzo, I FOSSILI DI BOLCA, Verona, 2007/V, tav/ 1.
