MARK MATVEEVICH ANTOKOLSKY (RUSSIAN 1843-1902)Bust of Mephistopheles, bronze with medium brown and green patinaheight: 24.5 cm (9 5/8 in.)inscribed Antokolsky on back of base LOT NOTES:Following the glowing acclaim of Mark Antokolsky’s marble sculpture Mephistopheles, which entered the collection of the Hermitage Museum in 1886, a mere three years after its completion, the artist produced bronze versions of the figure’s bust to capitalize on the project’s success. At the onset, Antokolsky turned to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust for inspiration for the figure, which he referred to as the equally powerful counterpoint to his earlier sculpture of Christ. Lacking clothing or any identifiable characteristics tying him to a particular period or place, the artist nevertheless epitomized the demon of the modern age. In an 1883 letter to E. G. Mamontova, Antokolsky wrote: “Mephistopheles is a product of all the ages, and ours in particular. We can say that I dreamed up this being, that this is purely my fantasy, or you could ask where I saw such a being? Yes, no one sees him like this, but we sense his breathing, feel his monstrous paw pressing on our chest, sense our inability to cry out, in a word, we see the nightmare."PLEASE NOTEIf you will be bidding live on auction day, please note that Session I of the Auction (Russian Fine & Decorative Art), starts at 10:00 AM New York Time and goes from Lot 1 through Lot 234.
