Galerie Bassenge

Lot 4133

Enrie, Giuseppe -- "Santo volto del Divin Redentore" (Detail of the Shroud of Turin - negative). 1931. Vintage gelatin silver print. 29 x 23 cm. Photographer's and reproduction limitation blindstamp in lower left/right corners, mounted to original board (corners bumped, small loss in upper left corner), with title and date printed above/below the image on the mount (41,5 x 31,5 cm).The Shroud of Turin is believed to bear the imprint of the face and wounds of Christ. The first historical record of the Shroud goes back to the 15th century when it was given to the House of Savoy by a French noblewoman. Since the 17th century, it has been housed in a chapel connected to Turin’s cathedral. The first photograph of the Shroud was made during its public display in 1898 by the amateur photographer Secondo Pia. Because that photograph was produced with the Shroud under its protective glass, its use as evidence was increasingly questioned. Thus, when the Shroud was displayed publicly in 1931, in honor of the wedding of Umberto II to the Belgian princess Maria José, a new set of photographs was commissioned.Accompanied by a French scientist, a priest and Secondo Pia, Enrie made twelve negatives of the Shroud. He recorded his methodology in great detail, which was published in 1933. Enrie’s photographs of the Shroud were widely distributed. The print offered here includes its original mount, which features printed signatures and insignia of church officials, attesting to the official sanction of the image. – A few scuff/scratch marks in upper left as well as light silvering in edges, more visible at an angle, one stronger dent to left of face, retouched spot in upper right corner, otherwise in very good condition.Lit.: Maria Bugli/Cristina Gardini.

AFTER POMPEO GIROLAMO BATONI THE PENITENT MARY MAGDALENEOil on canvas60 x 94cm (23½ x 37 in.)Provenance:Sale, Christie's South Kensington, July 7, 2015, lot 386A copy after Batoni's now-lost original which formerly hung in the Gemäldegalerie, Dresden (former inventory number, Inv Nr. 454). The original was destroyed in World War II, during three Allied bombing raids of Dresden between 13 and 14 February, 1945. By the end of the 18th century Batoni's original was widely celebrated by art critics and prompted numerous copies. Anton Graff alone is thought to have produced fourteen copies of the work (see E.P. Bowron and P.B. Kerber, Pompeo Batoni, London 2007, p. 136). It is possible that the present work is an example of Graff's many copies, while it does not appear to be one of the four copies listed by Berckenhagen (E. Berckenhagen, Anton Graff. Leben und Werk, Berlin 1967, cat. nos. 1746-1749, p. 411).Condition Report: The canvas hasn't been lined. Stretcher marks visible, together with craquelure throughout. Some surface dirt. Two professional patches on the reverse, corresponding with two areas of repair just above the Magdalen's feet, each approx. 5 cm. This can be seen in raking light. There is a more recent tear to the sitter's right shoulder (visible in image), which has been taped to the reverse but would benefit from professional attention. Inspection under UV reveals retouching predominantly isolated to the aforementioned areas of repair, with one or two scattered spots elsewhere.Condition Report Disclaimer

TOM ROBERTS (AUSTRALIAN 1856-1931)PORTRAIT OF MARY LUSHINGTON BERNARD D'OYLY, WIFE OF A. F. BERNARD OF COMBE RALEIGH, HONITON AND DAUGHTER OF SIR CHARLES D'OYLY, BARTOil on canvasSigned and dated '1921' (lower left)76 x 63cm UnframedProvenance:Marjorie Churchill, daughter of the sitterThence by descent to the current ownerThomas William (Tom) Roberts (1856-1931) was born in Dorchester, Dorset, but migrated to Melbourne in 1869. Roberts was the first major Australian painter to be selected to study at the Royal Academy of Arts which he attended from 1881 to 1884, where he was strongly influenced by painters such as James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Jules Bastien-Lepage and his followers in Newlyn and Glasgow, as well as other plein air artists which Roberts met on a tour of Spain in 1883. After returning to Melbourne in 1885 he was at forefront of the development of Australian impressionism, becoming one of the founding members of the Heidelberg School. Working alongside Frederick McCubbin, Arthur Streeton and Charles Conder, he attempted to capture Australia's light, heat and the special character of the Australian landscape with the same plein air principles imbued with a sense of nationalism. Roberts would return to England in 1903, keeping a studio in London for nearly twenty years before finally returning to Melbourne in 1923. From London he would make several excursions from Lake Como to Dorset, and in The Oil Paintings of Tom Roberts in the National Gallery of Australia (NGA, Canberra, 1997) Dr. Mary Eagle, noted that 'In the third week of August [1921] he went to Combe Raleigh, near Honiton in Devon, to paint a portrait of Mrs B D'O', which she now believes to be the present portrait of Mary Lushington Bernard D'Oyly (private communications 28 April 2023). In a letter to Roberts' wife dated 24th of August that year, he includes a little sketch of the portrait and mentions 'The colour is a good pale blue on Gold B'ground'. He also relates: 'I haven't written as there was no news, except I wasn't getting on too happily with the portrait - I've got hold of it now & it goes well - There is much difficulty in working in an ordinary room - one gets jammed up, the light deceives one - when the place is not spacious & you are right against the window. They are very pleased & there is the best to go into it yet. They are off to Exeter, motoring to some races, the daughter in something dark the mother my sitter very spring like & lace & pearls.' (Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, ML MSS 4586 2(2) transcribed by Dr. Mary Eagle). As with so many artists, portraits were Roberts' bread and butter, but his portraits of contemporary figures were no less important than his landscape and subject pictures. 'Not only are many of his portraits important records of notable figures, but a great number of them are also fine examples of Roberts' skill and individuality as a portraitist. His portraits of women in particular show great flair.' (Helen Topliss, Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume II, 1988, online version 2006 and Helen Topliss, Tom Roberts 1856-1931: A catalogue raisonné, Vol. I. p. 21).Mary Lushington was born in 1856 in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India to Emelie Jane Nott (1834-1857) and Major-General Sir Charles D'Oyly, 9th Bart. Of Newlands, Blandford, Dorset (1822-1900). In 1877 she married Arthur Francis Bernard, J.P. (1850-1915), of Combe Raleigh, by that time Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel of the West Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry, which he joined in 1876 after serving with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in the Ashanti War and retiring with the rank of Lieutenant in 1875. Together they had five children, Henry D'Oyly, Ruth Capel, Charles Camplin, Muriel Awdry and Marjorie Churchill. We kindly thank Dr. Mary Eagle, former senior curator of the National Gallery of Australia, for her help in preparing this catalogue entry.
