Sebastiaan VrancxDie Speisung der Hungrigen Öl auf Holz, auf Holz aufgezogen (parkettiert). 64,5 x 48,5 cm.GutachtenDer Auktionskatalog von Sotheby-Maak van Way, Amsterdam 1977, erwähnt die Kopie eines Gutachtens von Dr. Eduard Plietzsch von 1947 sowie ein Gutachten von Dr. Walther Bernt von 1963.ProvenienzGalerie Julius Böhler, München. – Sammlung Dr. Lutz, Berlin. – Dr. Hans Wetzlar, Amsterdam. – Auktion seines Nachlasses, Sotheby-Mak van Waay, Amsterdam, 9.6.1977, Lot 69. – Dort erworben.AusstellungenKeuze uit de verzameling Dr. H. A. Wetzlar, Laren, Singer Museum, 14.12.1968-2.1.1969, Nr. 32 (Abb. Kat. Tafel 7).LiteraturFriedrich Winkler: Der unbekannte Sebastian Vrancx, in: Pantheon 22, 1964, S. 322- 334, Abb. S. 322. – Suyin Scheid, in: Ekkehard Mai (Hg.): Das Kabinett des Sammlers, Köln 1993, S. 264 -266, Nr. 104, mit Abb.Das vorliegende Gemälde illustriert mit der „Speisung der Hungrigen“ das erste der sieben christlichen Werke der Barmherzigkeit. Sechs dieser Werke beruhen auf einem im Matthäusevangelium überlieferten Jesuswort (Mt 25,34-46), während das siebte eine Ergänzung aus dem apokryphen Buch Tobit darstellt (Tob. 1,17). Bühnenartig sind im Vordergrund unserer Holztafel mehrere Bettler wiedergegeben, links beginnend mit einem zerlumpten Jungen zwischen den hohen Postamenten zweier Säulen. Daneben führt eine junge Frau ihren blinden Vater und schließlich erhalten eine Mutter und ihre Kinder von einem reich gekleideten Paar vor dem Eingang eines prächtigen Palasts Brote überreicht.Eingefügt ist diese Darstellung in eine prachtvolle, makellose Renaissancearchitektur, die in scharfem Kontrast zu den ärmlichen Figuren des Vordergrunds steht. Zwischen der in starker perspektivischer Verkürzung dargestellten Palastfassade am rechten Bildrand und den von einem klassischen Gebälk zusammengefassten Säulen auf der linken Seite geht der Blick zunächst auf eine weiträumige Platzanlage. Dort springt vor allem ein dreigeschossiger Palast mit offenen Arkadengängen im Erdgeschoss ins Auge. Leicht versetzt zur Mittelachse wird der Blick auf der rechten Seite weiter in den Hintergrund gezogen und trifft schließlich auf die Fassade einer Kuppelkirche und einen Glockenturm als „point de vue“.Unsere Tafel gehört zu einem Zyklus von Einzeldarstellungen aller Werke der Barmherzigkeit, die Vrancx und seine Werkstatt mehrfach ausgeführt haben dürften und stets mit einem klassischen Architekturhintergrund verbunden waren. Weitere, gleich große Tafeln befinden sich u.a. im Museum in Springfield, Massachusetts, und in der Stichting Nederlands Kunstbezit. Ein 1608 datiertes Gemälde von Vrancx in der Sammlung des Niedersächsischen Landesmuseums Hannover zeigt hingegen alle sieben Werke der Barmherzigkeit auf einer Tafel.Sebastiaan Vrancx war in seiner Geburtsstadt Antwerpen Schüler von Adam van Noordt, bei dem auch Rubens und Jacob Jordaens in die Lehre gingen. Nach einem Rom-Aufenthalt von 1596 bis 1600/01 ließ sich Vrancx wieder in Antwerpen nieder, wo er in die Lukasgilde aufgenommen und 1612 zu deren Dekan gewählt wurde. Darüber hinaus bekleidete er zahlreiche weitere Ämter in Schützengilden, Rhetorikgesellschaften etc., die ihn zu einer wichtigen Figur im künstlerischen und sozialen Umfeld Antwerpens machten.Als einer der ersten Künstler spezialisierte sich Vrancx auf die Wiedergabe von Überfällen, Schlachten und Reitergefechten, als deren Wegbereiter in der Malerei der südlichen Niederlanden er gilt. Darüber hinaus schuf er Ansichten von Gartenfesten und galanten Gesellschaften sowie reine Landschaftsgemälde. Zugleich war der äußerst vielseitige Künstler als Figurenmaler geschätzt und fügte u.a. in Werke von Jan Brueghel d. Ä. und Joos de Momper Staffagefiguren ein. Karel van Mander rühmte den damals erst 31-jährigen Vrancx in seinem 1604 erschienenen „Het schilder-boeck“ insbesondere für seine Darstellung von Landschaften, Pferden und Figuren („eer aerdigh in Landtschap, Peerdekens, en beeldekens“). Sebastiaan VrancxThe Feeding of the Hungry Oil on panel, mounted on another panel and parquetted. 64.5 x 48.5 cm.CertificateThe auction catalogue of Sotheby-Maak van Way, Amsterdam 1977, mentions a now lost copy of an expertise by Dr Eduard Plietzsch from 1947 and an expertise by Dr Walther Bernt from 1963.ProvenanceWith Julius Böhler, Munich;Dr Lutz, Berlin;Dr Hans Wetzlar, Amsterdam;His deceased sale, Sotheby-Mak van Waay, Amsterdam, 9 June 1977, lot 69.ExhibitionsKeuze uit de verzameling Dr. H. A. Wetzlar, Laren, Singer Museum, 14 December 1968-26 January 1969, no. 32 (reproduced in the catalogue plate 7).LiteratureFriedrich Winkler: Der unbekannte Sebastian Vrancx, in: Pantheon, XXII (1964), pp. 322-34, reproduced;Suyin Scheid, in: Ekkehard Mai (ed.): Das Kabinett des Sammlers, Cologne 1993, pp. 264 -266, no. 104, reproduced.The present painting illustrates the Feeding of the Hungry, the first of Seven Christian Works of Mercy. Six of these works are based on the teachings of Jesus handed down in the Gospel of St. Matthew (Mt 25:34-46), while the seventh is a supplement from the apocryphal book of Tobit (Tob. 1:17). In the foreground of this panel, several beggars are depicted as if on a stage, beginning on the left with a raggedly dressed boy between the high bases of two columns. Next to him, we see a young woman leading her blind father and finally a mother with her children being presented loaves of bread by a richly dressed couple in front of the entrance to a magnificent palace.The scene is placed in a setting of magnificent, immaculate Renaissance architecture, which contrasts sharply with the poor figures in the foreground. Between the strongly foreshortened palace facade on the right-hand side of the picture and columns on the left, joined by a classical entablature, the view looks onto a spacious square. There, the eye is drawn to a three-storey palace with open arcades on the first floor. To one side of this central axis, our view is guided towards the background on the right, upon the facade of a domed church and a bell tower as a point de vue.This panel belongs to a cycle of individual depictions of all the works of mercy, which Vrancx and his workshop may have executed several times and which always included a classical architectural background. Other panels of the same size can be found in the museum in Springfield, Massachusetts, and in the Stichting Nederlands Kunstbezit, among others. In contrast, a painting by Vrancx dated 1608 in the collection of the Niedersächsisches Landesmuseum in Hanover shows all seven works of mercy on one panel.In his home town of Antwerp Sebastiaan Vrancx was a student of Adam van Noordt, who also taught Peter Paul Rubens and Jacob Jordaens. After a stay in Rome from 1596 to 1600/1, Vrancx settled again in Antwerp, where he was accepted into the Guild of St. Luke and elected Dean of the Guild in 1612. In addition, he held numerous other offices with the rifle guilds, rhetoric societies, etc., which made him an important figure in Antwerp's artistic and social life.Vrancx was one of the first artists to specialise in depicting raids, battles and cavalry fights, and he is regarded as one of the pioneers of these genres in the southern Netherlands. He also painted views of garden parties and eleFull description on lot-tissimo.com

[BRONTË, Charlotte (1816-55), Emily (1818-48) & Anne (1820-49)]. Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. London: Smith, Elder and Co., 1846 [but 1848]. 8vo (169 x 110mm). Errata slip, one-page of publisher's advertisements at the end. Original green cloth with a lyre stamped in blind on the covers, blind-stamped foliate borders, spine lettered in gilt, yellow endpapers (upper joints split, some erosion to foot of spine, some light staining to covers, spine a little faded, corners bumped). FIRST EDITION, second issue. RARE. In 1846, Aylott and Jones of London published the three Brontë sisters' collection of poems under the pseudonyms Currer (Charlotte), Ellis (Emily) and Acton (Anne) Bell. This being their first appearance in print, the authors were completely unknown and the book sold very poorly, with estimates of the number of copies sold of the 1,000 printed ranging from just two to a still paltry thirty-nine. In 1847, Charlotte, still using her pseudonym, published Jane Eyre, and the book was a huge critical and commercial success. On the strength of this, her new publishers, Smith, Elder and Co., bought up the remaindered copies of Poems and published them, in 1848, with a new, or cancel, title page bearing their imprint but with the retrospective date of 1846. By this time, Charlotte's sisters had also had some success with their own novels and the publisher's advertisement at the end of Poems lists, in addition to Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, whilst still using their Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell pseudonyms.
