The two developed an immediate and strong connection based in part on their mutual passion for linguistics, their relationship would last until Beckett's death in 1989. Beckett would often use Bray as a sounding board to help develop his work and was one of the very few with whom he would discuss and share his work while in development. Bray would state that their relationship was one of equals, a claim that was backed up by those who knew the pair. The present collection includes translations into German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese, many of the volumes the first editions in their respective languages.

The inscriptions are mostly signed as either Robert or the author's nickname of "Red" and are indicative of the close friendship the two men enjoyed. Rosenthal (1935-2014) became head of Secker & Warburg in 1971 and identified Warren as a writer long-neglected in the UK. During a weekend at the author's house in Connecticut, Rosenthal raised his criticism of the author's most famous work All the King's Men. The author noted that it was likely that Rosenthal had read the English rather than US edition which had cut a key chapter. Warren found a copy of the book on his shelves, inscribed it to Rosenthal and left him to read it (this copy included in the lot). Rosenthal realised the error made in publishing shortened version and promptly undertook to published the full version in the UK. A full listing of the books, editions and inscriptions is available upon request.

He joined his first craft as First Lieutenant (there being only two officers, the Captain and the 1st Lt. or second-in-command), a tank landing craft LCT952, on the Medina River on the Isle of Wight on D Day + 1 (i.e. 7 June 1944) and then spent the following 12 weeks continually ferrying tanks and their crews from various destinations along the south coast to the Normandy Beaches. After a spell on the River Thames (where landing craft were tethered line abreast directly over the line of Tube Lines under the Thames, so that if a V1 Rocket (Doodlebugs) should land in the river, it would explode on a landing craft and not on the river bed), LCT952 sailed to Belgium in readiness for Operation Infatuate Early in the morning of 1 November 1944, some 15 days before his 20th birthday, and without the promised air cover (because of fog over East Anglia) his flotilla of landing craft successfully landed their units under heavy fire from concrete German gun emplacements.

Jean Baptiste had three sons who followed in his footsteps, they were Auguste, Mathurin and Hyppolyte-François. The legacy continued with Auguste’s sons, Louis Auguste and Hyppolyte Francois. Members of the Moreau family often studied at the famous École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Condition report: Good order

Brügger Meister, um 1510/ 1520KREUZABNAHME CHRISTI Öl auf Holz. 111 x 109 cm. In teilvergoldetem profiliertem Rahmen.Der Berg Golgata ist als eine grüne hügelige Ebene dargestellt und die Szene der Kreuzabnahme im Vordergrund ist eingebettet in zwei weitere Begebenheiten aus der Heilsgeschichte Jesu. So ist links im Hintergrund die Auferstehung Christi zu sehen, während rechts im Mittelgrund seine Erscheinung vor Maria Magdalena, die ihn zunächst für einen Gärtner hält. Hinter dem Kreuz und die beiden im Mittelgrund befindlichen Szenen verbindend, ist eine ideale Darstellung Jerusalems zu sehen. In Stil und Auffassung folgt das hier angebotene Gemälde dem Vorbild von Rogier van der Weyden, wie auch ein Gemälde, das Joos van Cleve (RKD Nummer 42467) zugeschrieben und im Philadelphia Museum of Art Inv.Nr. 373 verwahrt wird (siehe Vergleichsabb.). Im Wesentlichen folgen die Maler des amerikanischen und unseres Gemäldes dem kompositionellen Vorbild Rogier van der Weydens im Prado (Inv.Nr. P002825), während der Goldgrund - wie auch bei Joos van Cleve - durch eine Landschaft im flämischen Geschmack des 16. Jahrhunderts ersetzt ist. Rest.

Christ’s resurrection is shown in the background on the left, while the middle ground on the right shows his appearance before Mary Magdalene, who initially thinks he is a gardener. An idealized representation of Jerusalem can be seen behind the cross, connecting the two scenes in the middle ground. The style and concept of the painting on offer for sale here follows the example of Rogier van der Weyden, as does a painting attributed to Joos van Cleve (RKD no. 42467) held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art inv. no. 373 (see comparison image). Essentially, the painters of the American painting and the present painting follow the compositional model of Rogier van der Weyden held at the Prado (inv. no. P002825), while the gold background – as in paintings by Joos van Cleve – is replaced by a 16th century Flemish-style landscape. Restored.

Paul Bril, um 1553/54 Breda – 1626 Rom, zug.BEWEGTE LANDSCHAFT MIT VERSCHATTETEM HÜGEL UND SCHAFHIRTEN Öl auf Leinwand. Wachsdoubliert. 66,5 x 96 cm.Vielfalt von Landschaftseindrücken in einem einzigen Bild zu vereinen, gehört zu den typischen Merkmalen des Malers Paul Bril, der schon 1582 nach Rom zog. Trotz der Einflüsse der italienischen Malerei behielt er allerdings die Effekte der ins helle Türkis-Grün getauchten Landschaftshintergründe bei, wie sie seit Brueghel gängig waren. In geschickter Weise ist auch dieses Gemälde durch eine fantasievolle Aufteilung in unterschiedliche Sichtbereiche gekennzeichnet. Dreifach zeigt sich die Komposition gegliedert: auf einem verschatteten baumbestandenen Hügel erheben sich ländliche Giebelgebäude, während die seitlichen landschaftlichen Ausblicke in hellem Licht erscheinen. Links ein schmaler, sonnig beschienener, von Häusern gesäumter Weg mit einem Eselreiter, rechts der Blick in eine breite, in blauer Luftperspektive nach unten ziehende Schlucht, eingefasst von Felsgestein mit darauf sich erhebender verfallener Architektur, aber auch mit nach unten ziehenden Jägern. Eine marode gebogene Holzbrücke schwingt über einen Gebirgsbachlauf hinweg. Die Staffage zeigt links unten einen am Hügel rastenden Hirten zwischen seinen weidenden Schafen, im Gespräch mit einer Frau, die eine Spinnwirtel hält. Diese Vielfalt der landschaftlichen Aspekte, aber auch der gezielt unterschiedlichen Beleuchtungseffekte vermitteln dem Bild die Wirkung hoher Lebendigkeit. Dabei lassen sich feine Unterschiede der Lichtgebung beobachten: Während rechts im Bild eine morgendliche Kühle vorherrscht, zeigt sich der Himmel links oben in Morgenröte. Es entbehrt nicht einer gewissen Raffinesse, dass der Maler links im Vordergrund die so eng nebeneinander positionierten Staffagefiguren so unterschiedlich beleuchtet zeigt, ein Kunstgriff, der auch in den weiteren Bildpartien zu sehen ist.Bril hatte schon zu Lebzeiten, vor allem in Rom, viele Maler beeinflusst, wie etwa den Niederländer Cornelis van Poelenburgh (1586-1667), oder den Frankfurter Adam Elsheimer (1574/78-1610/20).   A.R.

Johan Anton Richter,auch „Giovanni Richter“, 1665 Stockholm – 1745 Venedig VENEDIG - CAMPO DI SANTA MARIA FORMOSAÖl auf Leinwand. Doubliert.70 x 88,5 cm.Zuweisung an den Künstler durch Expertise. In der beigegebenen Expertise von Dario Succi wird das Gemälde in die Zeit um 1710 eingeordnet. Die Vedute ist betont hellfarbig gehalten. Der Blick wird über den weiten Platz vor der Nordseite der Kirche geführt, wobei Campanile und Kuppel die Bildwirkung beherrschen. Der Platz wird rechts von Stadtpalästen begrenzt, die nach hinten von weiteren Gebäuden fortgesetzt werden. Am linken Bildrand ein hinten liegender Vicolo mit kleinem Rundbrunnen, entsprechend dem auf der vorderen Platzmitte. Besonderes Interesse gilt hier der Figurenstaffage, die das Treiben auf dem Platz im 18. Jahrhundert dokumentiert. Es finden sich zwischen adeligen und bürgerlichen Personen auch Männer, die paarweise je einen Stier an langen Leinen auf den Platz führen, denen die Aufmerksamkeit der übrigen Personen gilt. Dies ist im Zusammenhang zu sehen mit den im 18. Jahrhundert in Venedig auf verschiedenen Plätzen aufgeführten Stierkämpfe. Richter begab sich 1697 von Schweden in die Lagunenstadt, wo er alsbald Arbeiten für Sammlerkreise schuf. 1717 ist er bereits durch ein Schreiben des Veroneser Antonio Balestra dokumentiert. Richter stand in der Maltradition des Luca Carlevarijs (1663/65-1729/31), bei dem er anfänglich gelernt hatte. A. R.Literatur: Vgl. Rodolfo Pallucchini, La pittura nel Veneto.

Relined.70 x 88.5 cm.The attribution to the artist is based on an enclosed expert's report by Dario Succi, who dates the painting to ca. 1710. The figure staffage is interesting as it documents the hustle and bustle on the square during the 18th century. There are pairs of men each leading a bull onto the square on long leads, which catch the attention of the remaining noble and bourgeois onlookers. This is testimony to the bullfights held on various squares around Venice during the 18th century.Literature: cf. Rodolfo Pallucchini, La pittura nel Veneto.

Washakie County/ Wyoming, USA, Oberjura, 148-154 Millionen Jahre alt.Dramatisch aufgerichtet, als ob er sich aus seinem irdischen Gefängnis befreien würde, bestimmt dieser Allosaurus den Raum mit seiner geheimnisvollen bedrohlichen Präsenz als Dinosaurier. Der Allosaurus (griechisch für andersartige Echse) war eines der wildesten Raubtiere der Jurazeit und konnte eine Größe erreichen, die mit der des Tyrannosaurus Rex vergleichbar war. Er gehörte zur Unterordnung der Theropoda: zweibeinige, fleischfressende Dinosaurier, die mehr als 150 Millionen Jahre lang die Erde beherrschten. Dieser Allosaurus mittleren Alters, der in einem paläontologischen Labor restauriert wurde, war zwischen 22 und 28 Jahre alt und ist zu bemerkenswerten 65% vollständig. Erg.

Raised dramatically as if breaking free from its earthly prison, this Allosaurus commands the space with its mysterious menacing dinosaur presence. The Allosaurus (Greek for different lizard) was one of the ferocious predators of the Jurassic period and could grow as big as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. It belonged to the subgroup of theropods: two-legged, carnivorous dinosaurs that ruled the earth for more than 150 million years. This middle-aged Allosaurus, restored in a paleontological laboratory, was between 22 and 28 years old and is a remarkable 65% complete. Mended.

Im Passepartout, hinter Glas gerahmt.Aquarell in betontem Querformat. In virtuoser Pinselführung werden hier zartrosafarbene Orchideen mit roten Sprenkelungen, gelbe Narzissen sowie exotische Blüten, eingebunden in großes Blattwerk, gezeigt. Nach rechts hin scheint der Hintergrund in Grau-Brauntönen die Schatten der Blüten anzudeuten. Der Blumenstrauß ist als ein gemaltes Namenstaggeschenk zu verstehen, wie die vierzeilige Aufschrift in Blei in der rechten unteren Ecke erweist „Für James – Zum Namenstag, Geburtstunde/ Hast du immer so oft du einen Halbtoten auferweckt.

Verso auf der Abdeckung maschinenschriftlicher Aufkleber in Englisch „For Thomas/ for his birthday/ you have so often revived one who was half dead./ With love/ your O.K. 44/ London“.

Watercolour in elongated portrait format. Delicate pink orchids with red specks, yellow daffodils and exotic flowers bound in large foliage are painted with virtuoso brushstrokes in this painting. The background on the right seems to show the shadows of the flowers in shades of grey and brown. The bouquet can be conceived as a painted gift for a person´s name day, as the four-line pencil inscription in the right lower corner suggests. Typed label in English on the reverse: “For Thomas/ for his birthday/ you have so often revived one who was half dead./ With love/ your O.K. 44/ London”. This is probably an early translation into English. Next to the label there is a gallery label with printed address “Charles E. Slutkin Galleries/ 115 East Ninetysecond Street/ New York 28, N.Y.”. Typed inscription “Oskar Kokoschka (1886)/ Flower Arrangement with Birds of Paradise. Watercolor”. Furthermore, two smaller labels with insignificant information.Notes:The dedication is almost certainly to “János” who is János Plesch . He was a rather eccentric doctor working in London. He treated Kokoschka and hence the wording.

Dambuster 617 Squadron F/O Ray Grayston signed Training for the Dams 617 Squadron Practice Operations FDC PM 617 Squadron 65th Anniversary The Dambusters Southampton Lincoln. Raymond Ernest Grayston was born on 13 October 1918 in Dunsfold, Surrey, and worked as an automobile engineer before the war. Like many young men of his generation, Grayston was fascinated by flying and volunteered for the RAF at the beginning of the war. In a TV documentary to mark the 60th anniversary of the Dams Raid he described how he loved riding a motorbike at speed, and that this was one of the things which encouraged him into the air force. Initially he served as ground crew but then, along with many others who were mechanically minded, he was selected to train as a flight engineer on the new generation of heavy bombers which needed more personnel. He was posted to 50 Squadron in October 1942, and teamed up with Les Knight, who had just formed a new crew. He flew on some 18 operations with this crew before they were posted en bloc to 617 Squadron in March 1943. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Gerard Dillon (1916-1971)Moonlight Scene, West of Ireland Oil on canvas, 30.5 x 40.5cm (12 x 16'')SignedProvenance: Acquired directly from the artist by his friend, Ms. Sally Devlin; sale, Whyte's, Dublin 22/11/17, lot 40; private collection.Dillon has created a beautiful lunar scene of a west Ireland inlet, with the moon slowly rising, orb-like, over the still and silent bay. it illuminates the sky, casting bright rays, picked out in white highlights against the deep blue. We see a lone figure in the centre of the composition, walking back along the traditional patchwork stone walls towards the thatched cottages in the distance. He appears to be carrying a fishing rod over his shoulder, perhaps on a journey back from a session of night-fishing. There is a single black cow grazing behind him, picked out against the green and blues of the landscape.While it is a relatively small work, the sense of distance is well executed. As the viewer we feel as if we are standing on the grassy plain in the foreground looking over across the inlet to the figure in the background. His clever use of colour subtly separates land from sea and sky. The inland waterways and tributaries wind in and out around the island, leading us out into the larger bay and sea beyond. He uses quick, flat strokes of white to delineate the varying tones in the natural stone walls.We get a sense of a place on the edge of the world, picturesque but isolated. We are reminded of the hardships of living on a remote island with little or no connection to the mainland. It is reminiscent of another work sold in these rooms in 2019, Moonstruck Youth, of a local fisherman standing barefoot after finishing his work for the day. it is a very different view from that of other artists who were also transfixed by this particular landscape. While the beauty is still there, it is a more honest and melancholic expression. Yet it was also a place that Dillon loved to visit, enjoying many happy holidays on the island of Aran, following a more primitive and peaceful way of life.Niamh Corcoran, February 2022
