Carlo Grubacs, 1812/40 – 1870 Venedig, zug.Die RückKehr des Bucintoro zur Mole am HimmelfahrtstagÖl auf Leinwand. Doubliert.58 x 72 cm.In vergoldetem Prunkrahmen.Unter klarem blauem Himmel mit nur wenigen weißen Wolkenformationen der prächtige, golden glänzende Bucintoro mit leuchtend roter Flagge und dem Wappen Venedigs mit dem geflügelten Löwen, auch das Staatsschiff des Dogen von Venedig, vor dem Palazzo Ducale vor Anker. Umgeben ist das Schiff von zahlreichen prachtvollen und teils geschmückten, figurenreich besetzten Gondeln und Booten auf dem ruhigen Canal Grande. Im Hintergrund die teils mit kleinen Bauten und Zelten versehene Piazzetta, die beiden Säulen mit dem Markuslöwen und dem Heiligen Theodor sowie Teile des Markusdoms, der Uhrturm sowie der hohe, in den sommerlichen Himmel ragende Campanile. Im Bildvordergrund weitere figurenreiche Boote und Schiffe, davon mittig ein Boot mit elegant gekleideten Herren mit Dreispitz und einer Dame in langem hellblauem Gewand.Die Darstellung dürfte sich auf Christi Himmelfahrt beziehen, auf den Tag, an dem der Doge traditionell die Mole verlässt, um auszufahren, um die symbolische Hochzeit von Venedig und dem Meer zu zelebrieren, indem er einen goldenen Ring in das Wasser wirft. Das Gemälde wahrscheinlich von den Werken des Canaletto (1697-1768) inspiriert, von dem es mehrere Versionen gibt. Dazu gehört auch ein Gemälde mit der Rückkehr des Bucintoro, das sich im Puschkin-Museum befindet. Vereinzelt kleine Retuschen. Der Künstler war zwischen 1851 und 1888 in Venedig tätig, aufgrund seiner beliebten und qualitätvollen Bilder wurde er als der „Canaletto des 19. Jahrhunderts“ bezeichnet.

This includes a painting depicting The Return of Bucintoro held at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

George Russell AE (1867 - 1935)Children Playing in a Woodland GladeOil on canvas, 53.5 x 81.5cm (21 x 32")SignedProvenance: Collection of the Late President Erskine Childers, thence by descentThe Garden of Eden has haunted the imagination ever since the Book of Genesis gave us those descriptions of an idyllic world. In Eden grew ‘every plant’ and ‘every tree that is pleasant to the sight’. It’s a place imagined by artists through the centuries and behind many paintings of beautiful, natural landscapes shimmers that ideal garden where everything was once perfect and carefree. George Russell [Æ] born Lurgan, County Armagh in 1867, painted many ideal landscapes. The Russell family moved to Dublin when George was eleven years old and during summers spent with an aunt or with maternal grandparents in rural Armagh, Russell began to paint in watercolour. Educated at Edward Power’s school on Harrington St and at Rathmines School, as a talented thirteen-year old he was admitted to evening classes at Dublin Metropolitan School of Art and it was there that he met W.B. Yeats. When Æ died Yeats confided ‘Æ was my oldest friend. We began our work together.’Painter, poet, dramatist, novelist, critic, theosophist, mystic, economist and Irish nationalist, George Russell, a true polymath, worked as a draper’s clerk, later worked for the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society, established co-operative banks and he edited, from 1905 to1923, the Irish Homestead, a progressive journal of the Irish Co-operative movement, a journal, in Diarmaid Ferriter’s words, that was ‘generally optimistic about the potential for rural Ireland to develop, but only if the populace would organise in the manner of its European neighbours’. Russell, or Æ, also declared, in New York, that cities were ‘an actual danger to life itself’. ‘The decay’ he said, ‘of civilisation comes from the neglect of agriculture’. Æ believed that ‘[t]here is a need to create, consciously, a rural civilisation adding that ‘[y]ou simply cannot aid the farmers in an economic way and neglect the cultural and educational part of country life, or else the children will continue to leave for the city.’ During a tour of Canada, Kenneth Leslie, a Nova Scotia poet, thought Æ ‘as ready to talk of fat cattle and creamery butter as of Yeats and Lady Gregory’.Oil portraits by Æ included those of Iseult Gonne and Mary Colum, there are charcoal drawings of W.B. Yeats and he painted oil on plaster murals at the Theosophical Society of Ireland headquarters in Ely Place. But he is best known for his landscapes real and imagined. There are representational, atmospheric works such as Clouds Over The Hill, Evening In The Fields, Boglands, Swans at Coole, Landscape North of Muckish, County Donegal and Æ also painted visionary, mystical scenes inspired by his interest in the Tuatha Dé Danann, sea and tree spirits.Æ’s undated painting Children Playing in a Woodland Glade contains four young female figures in gold, red, white and blue dresses. Other undated idyllic sylvan scenes such as Figures in Woodland or Gathering Firewood include girls and women wearing bright colours - blue, red, orange, purple. This work features a woodland scene with figures in bright clothes. The smooth woodland floor is lit with brilliant, dappled sunlight and the tall tree trunks with their splashes of brightness are dazzlingly lit. Overhead, the delicate, young, green leaves suggest springtime and the eye is drawn beyond the figures in the foreground to wander among the slender and broader tree trunks. Compositionally, there is a lovely contrast between the still figure kneeling on the left and the “ring-a-ring-a-rosying” trio on the right. The blue and red dressed figures are older and taller, the girl in blue is quietly concentrating on the forest floor, the girl in red exudes an energy and her two companions in purple and white are totally absorbed in play. Details are deliberately vague. Faces are rendered impressionistically rather than realistically and none of the figures looks at the viewer. They are too caught up in their own joy. And their clothes are captured with a beautiful painterliness.  In The Opal and the Diamond, AE describes how he felt ‘one warm summer evening lying idly on the hillside, not then thinking of anything but the sunlight’. He knew at that moment that ‘the Golden Age was all about me, and it was we who had been blind to it but that it had never passed away from the world’. A painting such as this reminds us of such a sun-bright, golden world. It is a glimpse of Eden.His monogrammed signature, lower right, is the very same as on the autograph tree at Coole Park next to Yeats’s, Æ being an abbreviation of Aeon meaning ‘vital force’, ‘life’, ‘a lifelong quest’. [When Æ appears as a character in Ulysses, smarty-pants Stephen Dedalus borrows some money from him and quips A.E. I. O. U.]Æ married Violet North in 1898. They had three sons one who died soon after being born. After his wife died Æ moved to England. He died in Bournemouth and in an Obituary P.G. Browne wrote ‘his going leaves a blank not easy to fill. He had many friends (he had NO enemies) made during the course of his worldly activities’. Nicknamed The Hairy Fairy and Strayed Angel, Patrick Kavanagh called Æ ‘a great and holy man’. He is buried in Mount Jerome. There’s a commemorative bust by Jerome Connor in Merrion Square and his work is in many collections including the Hugh Lane, the NGI, the Abbey Theatre, Trinity College, University of Texas and Winnipeg Art Gallery, Canada.Niall MacMonagle, October 2022
