Rudolf Bauer. (1889 Lindenwald, Posen - 1953 Deal, New Jersey). o.T. (Frau am Spiegel). Um 1910. Kohle und farbige Kreide auf Ingres J.C.A Bütten (mit Wz.). 43,5 x 56 cm. Signiert. In Punkten freistehend auf Passepartout montiert sowie unter Glas gerahmt. - Im Blattrand leicht knickspurig, vereinzelt technikbedingt leicht fleckig. Insgesamt sehr gut. Ausgewogene, fein ausgearbeitete Komposition mit raffinierter Lichtführung. Frühe Arbeit Bauers, entstanden vermutlich vor 1912, als sich sein Stil hin zur Abstraktion wandelte. Vor seiner Emigration in die USA 1939 arbeitete er eng mit der Galerie "Der Sturm" in Berlin zusammen. Bereits zuvor knüpfte Bauer u.a. über Hilla von Rebay erste Kontakte in die USA. - Die Beziehung zwischen Rudolf Bauer und Hilla von Rebay war komplex und von tiefer persönlicher sowie beruflicher Verbundenheit geprägt. Rebay, selbst Künstlerin und eine bedeutende Förderin der abstrakten Kunst, entdeckte Bauers Werk in den 1920er Jahren und wurde zu seiner engen Vertrauten und Unterstützerin. Sie spielte eine zentrale Rolle in seiner Karriere, indem sie seine Werke förderte und ihm half, in der Kunstwelt Anerkennung sowie unter anderem den Weg in solch wichtige Sammlungen wie zum Beispiel der Sammlung Solomon R. Guggenheims zu finden. Charcoal and colored chalk on Ingres J.C.A laid paper (with watermark). Signed. Mounted freestanding in dots on mat and framed under glass. - Slight creased in sheet margins, occasional light staining due to technique. Overall very good. Balanced, finely worked composition with elaborate lighting. - Early work by Bauer, probably created before 1912, when his style changed towards abstraction. Before emigrating to the USA in 1939, he worked closely with the "Der Sturm" gallery in Berlin. Previously, Bauer had already made his first contacts in the USA through Hilla von Rebay, among others. - The relationship between Rudolf Bauer and Hilla von Rebay was complex and characterized by deep personal and professional ties. Rebay, herself an artist and an important promoter of abstract art, discovered Bauer's work in the 1920s and became his close confidante and supporter. She played a central role in his career, promoting his work and helping him to gain recognition in the art world, including finding his way into such important collections as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Collection.
Otmar Engelhard. (1912 Nürnberg - 1994 ebenda). Stillleben mit Agaven. 1937. Aquarell auf Velin. Sichtmaße 52 x 68,5 cm. Signiert und datiert. Fest unter Passepartout montiert sowie unter Glas gerahmt. - Augenscheinlich insgesamt sehr gut erhalten. Harmonische Komposition, die Farben frisch. Das Werk des Nürnberger Malers war stark von seiner Tatigkeit als Entwurfszeichner für Glasmalerei geprägt. So zeichnet sich sein malerisches Werk vor allem durch sorgsam ausgestaltete, teilweise nahezu durchscheinende Blumenstilleben in Stil der neuen Sachlichkeit aus, welche die subtile Lichtführung sowie die fragile Ästhetik der Glasmalerei aufgreifen. - Besonderheit erhalten die Werke Engelhards, da ein Großteil seines Gesamtwerkes bei einem Brand während des Zweiten Weltkrieges 1939 vernichtet wurde. Watercolour on wove paper. Signed and dated. Firmly mounted under mat, framed under glass. Apparently in very good overall condition. Harmonious composition, the colours fresh. The work of the Nuremberg painter was strongly characterised by his work as a draftsman for stained glass. His painterly work is mainly characterised by carefully composed, sometimes almost translucent floral still lifes, which take up the subtle lighting and fragile aesthetics of stained glass.

Aloysius O'Kelly RHA (1853 - 1936) The Christening Party (1908) Oil on canvas, 68.6 x 91.4cm (27 x 36'') Signed and dated 1908 (lower right)Provenance: The Artist's family; With Gorry Gallery, Dublin 1981; Collection of the Hon. Francis D. Murnaghan Jr., thence by descentExhibition: Dublin, Gorry Gallery, February 1981, No. 13; Dublin, National Gallery of Ireland, The Irish Impressionists, 1984, No. 25.Literature: Niamh O’Sullivan, Gorry Gallery, An Exhibition and Sale of 18th - 21st Century Irish Paintings, 2024; O’Sullivan, Gorry Gallery, An Exhibition of 18th - 21st Century Irish Paintings & Sculpture, 2011; O’Sullivan, Aloysius O’Kelly: Art, Nation, Empire, Field Day, 2010; O’Sullivan Re-orientations: Aloysius O'Kelly: painting politics and popular culture, Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, Dublin, 1999; Julian Campbell, The Irish Impressionists, National Gallery of Ireland,1984.In 1874, O’Kelly became one of the first Irish artists to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he was admitted to the prestigious studio of Jean-Léon Gérome; separately he studied portraiture with Léon Bonnat; in addition, his early experiments in plein-air painting in Brittany were the foundations on which his work evolved.There is a striking stylistic cohesion between O’Kelly’s paintings set in Brittany in two phases, the late nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century, but these converge in two almost identical paintings dated 1908 and 1909 called The Christening Party and L’auberge. By coincidence, both have come up for sale within a few months of each other. O’Kelly tended to date paintings destined for major exhibition venues such as the Royal Academy, the Royal Hibernian Academy and the Paris Salon. And indeed he did exhibit a painting in the Salon in 1909 called L’auberge. The Christening Party thus predates the all-but-identical L’auberge. One surmises that he intended this painting for the Salon, but found an early buyer, and so painted a second version for Paris the following year.The painting features a group of adults joyously holding their glasses of cider aloft. This version was given the title The Christening Party when it was exhibited in the Irish Impressionists exhibition in the National Gallery in 1984, although it not clear that it is indeed a christening, as the child must be about two-years of age, and the focus is more widely dispersed: the oval disposition is designed to lead the eye around the painting in an inclusive way.O’Kelly was the first Irish artist to discover Brittany in the 1870s and was influential in drawing other Irish artists such as Thomas Hovenden and Augustus Burke there. Moreover, in recognizing the historical, cultural and ethnic connections between Ireland and Brittany, O’Kelly was at pains to counter the negative stereotyping of marginalized people. The American critic, E.L. Wakeman noted that '[t]hrough the grime and slime of their hard cold lives a few things must stand luminously revealed …. the people of Ireland and those of Brittany are the closest of kin and from one common Celtic stock, the affection and family ties, and to neighbourhood and communal yearnings, find here universal expression to a degree that almost approaches pathos'. (Wakeman's Wanderings, Weekly Inter Ocean, 7 January 1890). Wakeman went on to cite their respective ‘love of and reverence for babies’, as shines through here. O’Kelly’s paintings of both Irish and Breton people insistently reflect a hard-working, healthy and dignified people, as projected here.O’Kelly moved around Brittany over more than a fifty-year period. From the distinctive clothes, the setting in this painting can be identified as the pays de Rosporden (around Concarneau and the Fôret de Fouesnant): the women wear white linen coiffes and wide collars, dark skirts, fitted bodices, embroidered waistcoats, and heavy wooden sabots; the men woollen jackets, waistcoats, bragoù-bras, black gaiters and felt broad-rimmed hats.The table and the rush-woven Breton chairs are timeless, but other aspects identify the painting as early twentieth century, notably the visible hair of the women (previously, no self-respecting girl would have herself painted with her hair even partially uncovered). Over time, O’Kelly’s Breton landscapes and seascapes became increasingly and iridescently impressionistic, while his interior scenes retained their structure and hark back to Dutch seventeenth-century interiors and, more contemporaneously, the work of American artist, Robert Wylie. Executed towards the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, the dark interior of The Christening Party, connects these paintings to a considerably earlier form of genre painting, characterized by academic draughtsmanship and conventional painting skills. Notwithstanding their archaism, the compression of so many figures in The Christening Party into such a confined space demanded considerable skill, in addition to which he countered the apparent informality of the figures by granting to each an individualised physiognomy. The loose yet controlled brushwork, broad values, and strong contrasts evident in the portraits are a testament to Bonnat's realist teaching.The treatment of the still life on the upper shelf verges on the semi abstract and contrast with the narrative details that include the man pouring the drink with his left hand on his companion's shoulder, the young girl wiping the bowl, the man lighting his pipe, the shadowy figure in the background squatting low to tap the cider.The painting is full of gesture and expression. Notwithstanding the dark interior, the play of light on form, on the bottles and glasses, on the rugged furniture, on the animated faces of the figures, is typical of O'Kelly, an artist who painted sometimes separately, sometimes coterminously tightly and precisely, and loosely and freely.Prof. Niamh O'Sullivan, October 2024 Condition Report: Very good overall condition Under UV inspection very minor florescence appears particularly in the figure, see images The frame with loss to the mid right as indicated in the catalogue image, other areas of the frame with cracking, splitting, evidence of old glue repairs and one section missing from the back of a piece of relief carving on the left hand side of the frame, see all images for further details

GLEN GRANT 1969 33 YEAR OLD HART BROTHERS SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Distilled: 10/1969Bottled: 01/2003Matured in Sherry Wood51.5% ABV / 70cl Glen Grant was the first distillery in Scotland to have electric lighting installed, thanks to its forward-thinking owner, and all-round colourful character, Major James Grant. Grant was an innovator who was one of the first people to realise the potential of exporting whisky abroad. Initially, this paid dividends, and in 1897 The Major began construction of a second distillery across the road. However, as was the case with so many distilleries built around this time, Glen Grant 2 was mothballed after just a few years. Although, it did re-open in 1965 under the name Caperdonich.While it might not be a household name in the UK, Glen Grant is consistently one of the top selling single malts in Italy due to the groundwork laid by legendary importer Armando Giovinetti in the 1960s. It, therefore, seems appropriate that the distillery is now owned by Campari, an Italian company. Fill level is in mid neck. There is some rusting to the tube lid. Please see additional photos.

These lamps were often simple in design, reflecting the modest roots of early Christianity. Made typically of clay or metal, they had small, flat bodies with one or two nozzles where wicks could be inserted, and they were fueled by olive oil. As Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire, Christian iconography began to appear on these lamps, with motifs like crosses, fish, doves, and other symbols representing faith and the promise of salvation. These lamps were used in Christian households, places of worship, and even catacombs, where they provided light and carried symbolic meaning, illuminating spaces as well as representing spiritual enlightenment.The decoration of Christian oil lamps varied widely depending on the time and region. Early examples often used simpler motifs, but as Christianity became more widely accepted, the symbols on these lamps grew more elaborate and distinctively Christian. In the Byzantine period, for instance, lamps might display scenes from biblical stories, the Chi-Rho (a symbol for Christ), or other sacred imagery. Archaeological finds of these lamps in churches and graves underscore their spiritual role, often being placed with the deceased as symbols of hope and eternal life. These lamps helped Christians subtly express their faith, especially in the pre-Constantinian period when they faced persecution.Christian oil lamps also reflected the evolving role of religious art and worship in Christian communities.

These lamps were typically made of clay, bronze, or occasionally glass, and fueled by olive oil, which was readily available in the Mediterranean. Byzantine lamps generally featured a closed, often circular body with a nozzle for the wick and a handle for easy transport. Many were decorated with Christian symbols, such as crosses, fish, and chi-rho monograms, reflecting the profound influence of Christianity in Byzantine culture. These lamps provided light in homes, churches, monasteries, and public buildings, illuminating both daily and sacred spaces within Byzantine society.The design and decoration of Byzantine oil lamps evolved over time, showing the influences of earlier Roman models as well as the rise of new artistic styles. Early Byzantine lamps retained Roman features, such as the use of terracotta and simple, functional forms. However, as Christianity became more established, the iconography shifted to incorporate Christian symbols, saints, and religious scenes. Some lamps were inscribed with prayers or invocations, which were thought to provide spiritual protection or blessings. Additionally, Byzantine lamps often bore intricate floral or geometric patterns that showcased the empire’s skilled craftsmanship. This decorative approach made Byzantine lamps not only functional lighting devices but also aesthetic objects that conveyed religious and cultural identity.Beyond their use as practical tools, Byzantine oil lamps had religious and symbolic significance. Oil lamps were used in churches to symbolize the presence of divine light and as offerings in Christian rituals, reflecting themes of enlightenment and spiritual guidance. They were also placed in tombs as part of burial rites, possibly to light the way for the deceased in the afterlife.

Typically made from clay or metal, these lamps were designed with a shallow bowl to hold oil, and a spout for the wick, allowing for a controlled flame that provided steady light. Clay lamps were the most affordable and widely available, often made in simple molds for easy production, while wealthier individuals used bronze or brass lamps that could be highly decorative. The use of these lamps reflects the importance of artificial lighting in Byzantine daily life and religious practices, especially given the early Christian emphasis on light as a symbol of divine presence.Byzantine oil lamps often featured Christian iconography, reflecting the deeply religious character of Byzantine society. Designs included symbols such as crosses, fish, doves, and Chi-Rho monograms, each serving as a visual expression of faith. The lamps were sometimes inscribed with biblical phrases or prayers, believed to bring protection and blessings to the household. In religious settings, lamps were used in churches and monasteries to illuminate icons and altars, creating a sacred atmosphere that enhanced worship. For the Byzantines, light was not only practical but also imbued with spiritual significance, representing Christ as the “light of the world.” The religious motifs and inscriptions on these lamps were thus intended to remind users of their faith in everyday life.Archaeologically, Byzantine oil lamps have been found throughout the Mediterranean and Near East, highlighting the extensive reach and influence of Byzantine culture. Lamps were traded widely, with distinct regional styles reflecting local materials and artistic preferences, while still adhering to the overarching Byzantine aesthetic. Some lamps were produced in major centers such as Constantinople, while others were made in smaller workshops across the empire.
