Jan Davidz de Heem, 1606 Utrecht – 1683/84 Antwerpen, zug.JÜNGLINGSBÜSTE, UMGEBEN VON FRUCHT- UND BLUMENGEBINDEN Öl auf Leinwand. 170 x 123 cm.Das äußerst großformatige Gemälde, in betörender Qualität ausgeführt, zeigt im Zentrum der schwarzgrundigen Gesamtdarstellung eine steinerne Jünglingsbüste im Stil der Antike. Sie ist umrahmt von einem trompe-l’oel-artig gemalten, großen barocken Steinrahmen mit ausziehenden Voluten und einem, unterhalb der Büste angemeißelten, geflügelten Engelskopf, in Art eines Epitaphs. Die Wiedergabe der Bildhauerelemente in Steingrau, leicht verschattet. Umso mehr bricht die leuchtende Farbenfülle der Frucht- und Blumengebinde hervor, die in vier größeren Partien zusammengefasst sind. Zwischen Blattwerk zeigen die einzelnen Gebinde helle Trauben, Rosen und Hibiskusblüten, daneben Nelken und entsprechendes Blattwerk. Dazwischen gebunden sind Pfirsiche, ein geöffneter Granatapfel, Zitrusfrüchte und Pflaumen, am Unterrand etliche reife Feigen. Himbeeren und leuchtend rote Kirschen fügen sich in die Farbkomposition ein, jeweils vor dem fein gemalten Blattwerk bewusst abgehoben. In der Blumenstilllebenmalerei der Zeit üblich, lassen sich auch Insekten wie Maikäfer und Schmetterling finden. Gemäß der Blumensymbolik der Zeit erscheinen die einzelnen Blüten und Früchte auf die Jugend der Knabenbüste zu verweisen, möglicherweise als eine persönliche Hommage.

Della Robbia-WerkstattGLASIERTE TERRAKOTTABÜSTE „MADONNA MIT DEM KIND“ Höhe: 53 cm.Breite: 73 cm.Tiefe: ca. 11 cm.Florenz.In hellem Ton geformt und weiß glasiert. Die jugendliche Maria in Halbfigur, der Oberkörper leicht nach links, dem stehenden Kind entgegengerichtet. Das Kleid mit Kordel und Schleife gegürtet, der glatt gearbeitete Mantel wird durch ein schmales Band über der Brust zusammengehalten. Die linke Hand der Mutter liegt dem Knie des Kindes auf, das Kind hält in der rechten Hand einen Vogel, die Linke ist zum Segensgestus erhoben. Die Nimben beider Figuren in Form flacher Scheiben gearbeitet. Insgesamt im Dreiviertel-Hochrelief geformt, die Rückseite unglasiert, der helle gebrannte Ton weist durch Stege getrennte Vertiefungen auf, um das Werk beim Brand zu festigen. Der Bildhauer Luca della Robbia (1400-1482) war neben Ghiberti (1378-1443) und Donatello (um 1386-1466) Mitbegründer der Florentiner Frührenaissance. Er war auch der erste jener Künstlerfamilie, die sich nach Arbeiten in Marmor ganz der Terrakottatechnik verschrieben hatten. Seine wesentliche Neuerung bestand um 1442 in der Erfindung der „terra invetriata“, der mit Bleizinnglasur überzogenen Terrakottaplastik. Die von ihm gegründete Werkstatt in Florenz war nun in der Lage, die teure Produktion von Marmorwerken durch schnell zu fertigende, preisgünstigere Arbeiten zu substituieren. So waren auch kleine Gemeinden, Pfarreien und Privatleute in der Lage, künstlerisch höchstwertige, plastische Bildwerke zur Ausstattung von Kapellen, als Andachtsreliefs an Gebäuden etc. zu erwerben. Dazu kommt, dass auch mehrere Abformungen nach einem Modell gefertigt werden konnten. Der Erfolg des Familienunternehmens blieb nicht aus. Andrea della Robbia (1435-1525), Neffe des Luca, übernahm die Werkstatt. Mit Giovanni della Robbia (1469-1529) wirkte bereits die dritte Generation. Lediglich Girolamo della Robbia (1488-1566) jüngster Sohn des Andrea und Bruder des Giovanni, zog nach Frankreich, um für Franz I zu arbeiten. Die Werke der über ein Jahrhundert wirkenden Bildhauerfamilie lassen sich nicht immer leicht zuordnen. Noch im 19. Jahrhundert wurden nach alten Formen Werke erneut gefertigt. Bei dem hier vorliegenden Werk zeigt die plastische Gestaltung überwiegend die Handschrift des Andrea della Robbia. Einige wenige, altersbedingte Glasurabsplitterungen, vor allem am Handrücken des Kindes. A. R.Literatur: Vgl. Giancarlo Gentilini, Della Robbia, Luca, in: Massimiliano Pavan (Hrsg.), Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani (DBI). Bd. 37: Della Fratta – Della Volpaia, Rom 1989. Vgl. Paul Schubring, Luca della Robbia und seine Familie, Bielefeld 1905. (1290846) (1) (11)Della Robbia workshopGLAZED TERRACOTTA BUST “THE VIRGIN AND CHRIST CHILD”Height: 53 cm. Width: 73 cm. Depth: ca. 11 cm.Florence, possibly 16th century.The sculptor Luca della Robbia (1400-1481) was a pioneer of Early Renaissance in Florence alongside Ghiberti and Donatello. He was also the first of his family of artists devoted entirely to the terracotta technique after working in marble initially. His main innovation in ca. 1442 was the invention of the so called “terra invetriata”, terracotta sculpture covered with lead-tin glaze.Andrea della Robbia (1435-1525), Luca´s nephew, took over his workshop followed by Giovanni della Robbia (1469-1529) in third generation. Only Girolamo della Robbia (1488-1566), the youngest son of Andrea and brother of Giovanni, moved to France to work for King Francis I. It is not always easy to discern the works of this family of sculptors, who were active for more than a century. Works were still being made using old moulds as late as the 19th century. The sculptural design of the present work predominantly shows the signature of Andrea della Robbia. With a few, age-related glaze chips, especially on the back of the Child´s hand. Literature:cf.
