Lot 134

An impressive and finely inlaid iron vase and cover with historical scenesBy the Komai Company of Kyoto, Meiji era (1868-1912), late 19th/early 20th centuryDecorated with gold nunome damascene overlay and silver details, the flattened-spherical body with a tall foot resting on a stand with four lobed feet, silvered elephant-head handles to either side each with a pendant chain including lobed floral ornaments and a bell-like finial, the hemispherical cover surmounted by a shishi (Chinese mythological lion dog), each side of the body with a silver-rimmed lobed panel, on one side a night scene of a seated Buddhist monk/samurai with his armour chest and tachi behind him, writing brush in hand, facing a helmet-less samurai also holding writing materials, behind them a nomaku (field curtain) emblazoned with three Uesugi-sasa mon (Bamboo-and-sparrow crests, see below) and an overhanging pine tree, the scene illuminated by two kagari (braziers), on the other side a related scene, in a different location, of two samurai in mortal combat, scattered sakazuki (sake cups) at their feet, one holding a long yari which the other parries with his left hand while brandishing a tachi in his right, the surrounding surfaces with typical Komai dense ground decoration including ho-o birds, peony scrolls, key fret, floral medallions, birds and creepers, vine leaves and scrolls, chrysanthemum mon (crests), katabami mon (woodsorrel crests), butterflies and other motifs, signed underneath in gold in seal form Nihonkoku Kyoto no ju Komai sei (Manufactured by Komai of Kyoto in Japan). 17.5cm x 12cm x 29cm (6 7/8in x 4¾in x 11 7/16in). (2).Footnotes:The decoration on large-scale Komai work often incorporates detailed, complex narrative scenes based on recent or contemporary woodblock-printed sources. Although the precise source has yet to be identified, this is likely the case with the present lot, whose lobed panels depict two, probably linked, scenes from the civil wars that ravaged Japan in the second half of the sixteenth century. The large mon (crest) with two confronted sparrows and leaves of bamboo grass, shown three times on the nomaku (field curtain) behind the senior figure in the more peaceful scene, is that of Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578), one of the most powerful warlords of the day; he was renowned for his Buddhist piety and devotion to Bishamon, the Buddhist God of War, which may explain his appearance here in the garb of a monk. The most likely episode is perhaps the inconclusive fourth battle of Kawanakajima (1561), whose most famous episode is a one-on-one combat between Uesugi and Takeda Shingen (1521-1573).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 43

A GOLD-SPLASHED BRONZE TRIPOD INCENSE BURNER, DINGXuande seal mark, 17th/18th centuryOf globular shape supported on three short curling legs, and set with two bail handles rising from the rim, the base cast with a Xuande six-character mark, with irregular splashes of gold on the olive-brown patina. 18.5cm (7 2/8in) wide.Footnotes:十七/十八世紀 銅灑金三足鼎式爐「宣德」篆書款Provenance: an important European private collection來源:歐洲重要私人收藏The form of the present incense burner is based on the archaic bronze food ritual vessel, ding, produced during the Shang dynasty. As such, it reflects the Qing emperors' fascination with antiquity, and their call for craftsman to take inspiration from earlier forms and designs.The 'gold-splashed' decoration was achieved by 'fire-gilding', a technique involving the application of gold in the form of a mercury/gold amalgam. Subsequently the vessel was heated to drive off the mercury, so that the small amount of gold was left adhering to the base metal. The process could then be repeated several times to build up thicker layers of gold. Indeed, a line drawing of a gold-splashed incense burner in the 'Illustrated Catalogue of the Ritual Vessels of the Xuande Period' Xuande Yiqi Tupu, which purports to be the wording of an Imperial decree of 1428 ordering bronzes for the Palace, and which illustrates these vessels, would seem to indicate that the practice of applying gold splashes on bronzes may have been used since the 15th century. Many scholars, however, have argued that the this work may have been published at a later stage than the Ming dynasty; see R.Kerr, Later Chinese Bronzes, London, 1990, p.18.Compare with a related gold-splashed globular tripod incense burner, 18th century, with a two-character Xuande seal mark, which was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 8 October 2019, lot 3650.爐斂口,口沿上施一對沖耳,圓腹,下接三矮足,仿商周銅器獸蹄足之意。通體灑金,線條流暢,古雅大方。爐底正中鏨刻「宣德」篆書款。爐型仿商周重要青銅禮器鼎,是清朝自上而下鑑古仿古風尚的實例體現。本品所用的灑金工藝起源尚不明晰,或始於明代;《宣德彝器圖譜》繪有一件灑金銅爐,可資證明。 《宣德彝器圖譜》據傳編撰於1428年,然而也有學者認為其成書時間或晚於明代。參見R.Kerr著,《Later Chinese Bronzes》,倫敦,1990年,頁18。參考一件與本例相關的十八世紀銅灑金橋耳三足爐,同施「宣德」篆書仿款,售於香港蘇富比,2019年10月8日,拍品編號3650。For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

XU BEIHONG (1895-1953)Galloping HorseInk on paper, inscribed and signed Beihong, with one seal of the artist, dated thirty-first year of the Republic of China (1942), framed and glazed. 58.5cm (23in) high x 42.5cm (16 6/8in) wide.Footnotes:徐悲鴻 奔馬 一九四二年作 紙本水墨 鏡框裝裱款識:卅一年冬至,悲鴻渝州遣興。鈐印:悲鴻Provenance: Lillian Chu Finnerty (1920-2010), and thence by descent Bonhams Hong Kong, 28 November 2015, lot 173An important European private collection來源:李佩恩(1920-2010年)收藏,後由家族繼承香港邦瀚斯,2015年11月28日,拍品編號173歐洲重要私人收藏Xu Beihong is widely recognised as the father of modern Chinese painting, both for his innovative ink works that revitalised the traditional Chinese form, and for his willingness to embrace Western techniques.Winning high acclaim for their bold and lively styles, the horse paintings by Xu Beihong were highly admired amongst collectors and connoisseurs for their strength and vivacity, whilst also expressing Xu's desire to show his own feelings of patriotism. Born in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, in 1895, Xu grew up in an artistic family and showed talent at an early age. In 1915, he moved to Shanghai, then a melting pot of Chinese and Western cultures, to begin his studies. There he met Kang Youwei, the scholar and political reformer, who became his mentor and greatly influenced Xu's thinking about the need to incorporate Western practices and ideas into Chinese art.Throughout his life, Xu Beihong championed the revitalisation of Chinese painting through an integration of Western-style realism and Chinese brush techniques. Here, using sharp tonal contrasts between black ink and white paper, Xu's swift rendition of the noble steed embodies the spirit of traditional 'ink play'. The horse's natural pose is deftly captured in abbreviated brushwork, however, the horse's accurate anatomy and the convincing foreshortening of its body reflect Xu's solid grounding in Western academic art. The powerful demeanour of the unleashed unmounted animal may convey a Western influence, but its mane and tail, blowing unnaturally in opposite directions, testify to the artist's ultimately subjective approach.Xu employed freehand strokes, only outlining the critical parts, such as the nose, the chest and the hooves. Xu Beihong studied the anatomy of horses and observed their postures and expressions in great detail; the shape of the large muscles at the neck, breast and back is accentuated with ink washes executed in various tones, giving life to a remarkably robust figure, whilst, at the same time, reinstating Xu Beihong's position as a leader of one of the first generation of innovative artists seeking to reinvigorate the long tradition of Chinese aesthetics.Xu's powerful and passionate images of horses, a traditional symbol of Chinese martial spirit, were intended to inspire patriotic resistance during the Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). See a related ink on paper depiction of a 'Heavenly Horse' by Xu Beihong, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, published by Shi-yee Liu, Straddling East and West: Lin Yutang, a Modern Literatus, New York, 2007, p.52.Compare with a similar ink on paper painting of a galloping horse by Xu Beihong, which was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 27 May 2014, lot 1258.徐悲鴻,中國現代畫家、美術教育家,以其開創性的風格改良了傳統中國畫形式,被尊為中國現代美術的奠基者。自二十世紀三十年代,徐悲鴻探索出大寫意馬的筆法,至本畫作創作之時已是駕輕就熟,恣意揮灑。畫中的馬從遠處疾馳而來,四肢騰空,目視前方,充滿鼓舞人心的力量。悲鴻先生以馬之精神喻人之精神,借物言志,以此抒發愛國情感。徐悲鴻1895年生於江蘇宜興,自幼隨父習詩文書畫。1915年隻身赴滬,後結識康有為,深受其變革中國畫思想的影響,並身體力行之,終成一大流派。徐悲鴻一生致力於中西融合,以傳統筆墨技法傳達西方寫實主義造型規律。一如此例,以濃淡水墨率筆勾勒加大寫意渲染造型,而精確的解剖結構和透視技法則體現了其紮實的寫實功底;惟橫掃出的鬃毛及馬尾相對飛動,應是畫家主觀視角之呈現。在戰火連綿的年代,悲鴻先生為籌款四處奔走。他筆下的奔馬,筆墨酣暢淋漓,盡抒胸臆,疾風勁草,無疆不羈,令人觀之振奮,以喚起民眾頑強拼搏,堅韌不拔之精神。紐約大都會藝術博物館藏一幅林語堂舊藏徐悲鴻作《天馬圖》,收錄於劉晞儀著,《Straddling East and West: Lin Yutang, a Modern Literatus》,紐約,2007年,頁52,可為參考。另可比較一幅構圖相似的《奔馬圖》,售於香港佳士得,2014年5月27日,拍品編號1258。...
