Transitional Romanesque-Gothic Christ, 13th century.Bronze.On upholstered wood.Measurements: 17 x 10 cm. (figure); 22,5 x 22,5 cm.(support).Figure in bronze, representing a Christ with four nails, with the head inclined on the right arm. The body lacks naturalistic pretensions, as was usual in devotional art of the Romanesque period. The four nails (later reduced to three) and the long cloth (the cloth of purity is reduced by half, leaving the thighs uncovered) are also fully Romanesque solutions. Despite the fact that the period could be a Gothic piece, it remains faithful to Romanesque solutions: the body is resolved in a synthetic manner, abstracting from the elemental, enlarging the hands and heads as these are the parts that are mainly intended to be shown. A profusion of incisions chisel the body, outlining the ribs, the details of the crown and the drapery, adding great richness to the bronze.During the Romanesque period, sculpture was most often conceived as part of the architecture, as in the Gothic period. However, there were also examples of free-standing sculpture, the most common themes being the Crucified Christ and the Virgin and Child (the pantheon of saints was still small). There were two models, the "colobium" and the "perizonium". The first is a Christ nailed to the cross, still alive, with a talar robe and four nails. It is a rare model, as it was only made in certain European territories (in Spain, only in the Crown of Aragon, especially in Catalonia, but always coexisting with the second model). The "perizonium" is also a Christ on the cross with four nails, dead or alive, but dressed in a cloth of purity.

Auguste Rodin, 1840 Paris – 1917 MeudonMAIN DE DIEU Modell um 1900, jedoch vor 1905, posthumer Guss von 1943Bronze, gegossen und schokoladenbraun patiniert.15,5 x 16,7 x 15,2 cm.Außen signiert „A. Rodin“, innen erhaben signiert „A. Rodin“, außen mit Gießerstempel „A. Rudier fondeur Paris“.Einer von nur zwei Güssen aus dem Jahr, bei einer weltweiten Gesamtauflage von fünf Güssen.Beigegeben ein Gutachten der Comité Auguste Rodin vom 5. Februar 2022, in Kopie. Aus dem Gutachten geht hervor, dass der Guss 1943 zu datieren ist, da in diesem Jahr Dokumente bezeugen, dass 11 Stunden an der Ziselierung und eine Stunde an der Montierung der Bronze gearbeitet worden sind und eine Reduktion eines größeren Marmorvorbildes darstellen, das im Musée Rodin verwahrt wird. Dier hier angebotene Bronze wird unter der Werkverzeichnisnummer 2022-6532B geführt.Die „Hand Gottes“ ist ursprünglich 1895 von Rodin nach der rechten Hand eines Bürgers von Calais, Pierre de Wissant, in Gips modelliert worden, welche ein sich umschlingendes Paar hält. Im Jahre 1905 entsteht eine große Marmorskulptur nach dieser Gipsausformung. Von diesem ersten Marmor ließ er dann eine halbgroße Verkleinerung anfertigen, dessen Größe mit den Maßen unserer Bronze übereinstimmt. „Hand Gottes“, „Hand des Schöpfers“, sie kann vor allem symbolisch als die Hand des Bildhauers, während dieser in vollem Ruhm steht und als der größte Künstler seiner Zeit anerkannt wird, interpretiert werden. Aus verlegerischer Sicht ist die Auflage des Modells gering, denn es sind nur fünf Exemplare bekannt. Unseres ist besonders, denn nicht nur der Guss wurde von Eugène Rudier, der der bevorzugte Gießer Rodins und des Museums war, hergestellt, sondern es ist auch das Exemplar aus dessen persönlichen Sammlung. Nach 1917 war Eugène Rudier sowohl Gießer als auch Händler von Rodin, kaufte Bronzen im Hôtel Drouot, um sie weiterzuverkaufen. Er war auch ein Sammler von Bronzegüssen, die häufig von ihm selbst hergestellt wurden. Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass es sich dabei immer um sehr schöne Güsse handelt.Provenienz: Musée Rodin, Paris.Sammlung Eugène Rudier.Privatsammlung, New Jersey, USA. (1330114) (13)Auguste Rodin,1840 Paris – 1917 MeudonMain de dieu,Model ca. 1900 however before 1905, posthumous casting ca. 1943Bronze casting, with chocolate brown patina. 15.5 x 16.7 x 15.2 cm.Signed on outside “A. Rodin”, raised signature on inside “A. Rodin”, outside with foundry mark “A. Rudier fondeur Paris”.One of only two castings dating to 1943 with a total global limited edition of five.Accompanied by the expert’s report by the Comité Rodin dated 5 February 2022, in copy. The expert’s report makes it clear that the casting dates to 1943, as documents during this year testify that it took eleven hours to chisel and one hour to mount the bronze, representing a reduction of a larger marble model held at the Rodin Museum. The bronze on offer for sale in this lot is listed in the catalogue raisonné with no. 2022-6532B. The “Hand of God” was originally modelled in plaster by Rodin in 1895 after the right hand of a citizen of Calais, Pierre de Wissant, holding an entwining couple. In 1905 a large marble sculpture was created from this plaster mould. He then had a half-sized reduction made from this first marble, the size of which corresponds to the dimensions of our bronze. Hand of God or Hand of the Creator as it can be interpreted symbolically, represents above all the hand of the sculptor at the zenith of his career and recognized as the greatest artist of his time. This is an extremely small number of a limited edition with only five copies ever produced. The casting on offer for sale in this lot is exceptional because not only was the casting made by Eugène Rudier, Rodin’s and the museum’s preferred founder, but it is also a specimen from his personal collection. After 1917, Eugène Rudier was both a founder and art dealer of Rodin, buying bronzes from Hôtel Drouot for resale. He was also a collector of bronze castings, often created by himself. Experience shows that these are always very beautiful castings.Provenance: Musée Rodin, Paris. Eugène Rudier collection. Private collection, New-Jersey, USA.
