Kummer, Robert (Carl R.) (Dresden 1810 - 1889)Alter Leuchtturm in Kampanien. Öl auf Malpappe, (wohl) 1833. Unten links geritzt signiert. In Schmuckrahmen mit Feigenblattbeschlag. 35 x 46,5 cm, 45 x 57 cm (Ra). Nicht im WVZ Nüdling. Spielte Italien als Sehnsuchtsort für etliche deutsche Künstler seit dem ausgehenden 18. Jh. eine bedeutende Rolle, ist das mediterrane Land südlich der Alpen Robert Kummer zu einer zweiten Heimat geworden. Bereits die erste Studienreise führte ihn im Alter von 22 Jahren nach Rom und in die Campagna. Kummer war umtriebig, reisefreudig - ein permanentes Sichverorten war wohl nicht seine Intention, denn der Biografie sind zahlreiche sehr verschiedene Reiseziele in Europa zu entnehmen. Und doch muss Italien als stärkster Eindruck, als prägendes Moment gewertet werden; schon Goethe pries das besondere Licht, das temperamentvolle Leben, die sehr abwechslungsreiche Landschaft. Das vorliegende Gemälde stammt wohl aus der Zeit des ersten großen Aufenthaltes bei Neapel und zeigt einen alten Leuchtturm am felsigen Ufer eines ruhigen Gewässers, im Hintergrund erhebt sich ein markanter, aber nicht allzu hoher Gipfel. Es handelt sich wahrscheinlich um eine Szenerie am Lago Fusaro, einem nur durch eine schmale Landbrücke vom Mittelmeer getrennten Binnensee bei Baiae westlich von Neapel. Eine in den Chemnitzer Graphischen Sammlungen befindliche Bleistiftzeichnung Kummers aus dem Jahr 1833 zeigt eben jene Szenerie und die erklärende Ortsbezeichnung (vgl. WVZ Nüdling 212, "Lago Fusaro am Golf von Pozzuoli", 1833). Von einem Standpunkt am nordöstlichen Ufer des Sees aus eröffnet sich dem Betrachter die auf dem Gemälde abgebildete landschaftliche Situation (der alte Leuchtturm steht heute nicht mehr) mit dem keilförmig sich ins Bild schiebenden Tufffelsen von Torregaveta und dem Monte di Procida in der Ferne. Kummer ergänzt die elegant ausgeleuchtete Uferszene nur sehr sparsam mit einer einzelnen Staffagefigur, was der Ruhe des reflektierenden Wassers und dem wenig dramatischen, von einer fernen Abendsonne leicht eingefärbten und scheinbar mit sich selbst zufriedenem Süd-Himmel entspricht. Provenienz: Aus dem Nachlass des Ichthyologen und Porzellanhistorikers Günther Sterba, Leipzig. Wir danken Frau Dr. Elisabeth Nüdling für ihre freundliche Rückmeldung. Old lighthouse in Campania (Italy). Oil on cardboard, (pres.) 1833. Scratched signature bottom left corner. In ornamental frame with fig leave ornaments. Paint in very good condition; decent tendency of bubbly detachment of the cardboard below the tower visible only in stray light). Not listed in CR Nudling. Provenance: From the estate of the ichthyologist and porcelain historian Gunther Sterba, Leipzig (Germany). Probably scene at Lake Fusaro near Naples. Can be compared with a drawing listed in CR Nudling (212): Lago Fusaro at the Gulf of Pozzuoli, pencil drawing, 1833, Graphic Collection Chemnitz.

' Charles Davis,' A Description of the Works of Art forming the collection of Alfred de Rothschild', 1884, p. 228, no. 244, listed as 'A pair of three-light candelabra, of the period of Louis XVI, each is formed by a bronze figure of a kneeling boy blowing a trumpet and supporting the branches, which are chased metal, and designed as foliated scrolls. The stands are square, and each has a hollow border enriched with a bead moulding'. Catalogue Note Although the design of candelabra has traditionally been attributed to Philippe Caffieri (1714-1774) with the rights to their production held by Simon-Phillippe Poirier and his business partner Dominique Daguerre, the putti themselves have a longer history with an attribution to Alessandro Algardi (1595-1654) and his circle, a pair of which are now held in the Wallace Collection having been acquired by the 4th Marquess of Hertford. This attribution by the Wallace Collection is further enhanced by Jennifer Montague in her publications on Algardi (1985) and Bronzes in the Wallace Collection (2002). Poirier delivered a pair of candelabra incorporating porcelain figures among three gilt bronze branches, to Madame du Barry in 1770. It was soon after this date that the design appears to have gained popularity amongst the English Gentry with examples appearing in inventories of country house collections from the early 19th century. In recent years, closely related examples have appeared at auction, see Christie's Lord St Helens and Sir William Fitzherbert, 22nd January 2009, lot 541 and Christie's, The Gothick Pavilion, Byron to Beaton, 9th December 2010, lot 111.
