Lot 65
Giovanni Boldini (Italian, 1842-1931)Al caffè signed and inscribed 'To Miss B. Pearce/with admiration/Boldini' (on the reverse)oil on card10.5 x 18.5cm (4 1/8 x 7 5/16in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection, Italy.Please note that this lot is accompanied by a digital certificate of authenticity issued by expert on the artist and author of his catalogue raisonné, Dr Francesca Dini.The son of an artist, Boldini undertook training in his hometown of Ferrara before moving to Florence where he lived for about a decade. Here, from 1864, he joined the Macchiaioli group of artists, now known as the greatest exponents of Realist art in Italy. The portraits painted by the young Boldini at this time - mainly of his artist friends and of some members of the Russian and English aristocracy residing in Tuscany - mark in Italy the renewal of this pictorial genre and they cemented the young Boldini's reputation. Subsequently, in 1871, he travelled to London where he sought patrons amongst English high society; however, in the same year, drawn by the light and glamour, he decided to settle in Paris. Here, he began producing small fanciful oils designed not only to capture the costumes and lifestyle found in the city's grand homes, but also to please the international clientele of the famous gallery, La Maison Goupil. During the 1880s, however, Boldini moved away from these somewhat staid subjects and instead devoted himself to the more faithful representation of his beloved Paris. Now, the French capital appears at its most vital with paintings depicting the squares and animated streets, the outdoor cafes, the transit of carriages and their horses' manes in the wind, the elegant bourgeoisie and street vendors, all characterised by a new freedom of brushstroke and modern spatiality. The present lot can be placed during this period of the artist's life.This work is an early example of his Parisian café sketches, a subject which he revisited several times. These studies seem to have been produced in preparation for one his masterworks, Scène de fête au Moulin Rouge, currently housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. In the Musee d'Orsay painting, during one of the usual night sorties, Boldini stops in at the famous Parisian restaurant, made characteristic by the bright reds of the tapestries; he welcomes the clamour of the voices that mix with the sounds of music, of shimmering garlands of suspended lights that come down from the ceiling and make the glasses sparkle, illuminating the wonderful costumes; he has revelled in the attitudes of bystanders, with their desire to seduce and be seduced, as in the case of the seated gentleman to the right of the scene, who confidently perches in front of the cocotte that has approached his table, smiling at him, winking and amused. The atmosphere of this finished oil is captured in the present study, and this shows how the immediacy of these sketches could inform his more highly finished works. This painting can therefore be seen as an early idea on this theme, defined with quick brushstrokes with the characteristic Tiepolesque white lighting. The dedication placed on the back of the card brings us to the second half of the eighties, at which time Boldini - who was perfecting his new style of portraiture, highlighted by elegant figures painted on a large scale, with energetic and loose brushwork - befriended John Singer Sargent and the group of American painters active in Paris at the time, including Charles Sprague Pearce, a genre painter native to Boston who was distinguished by his gold medal at the Salon of 1883. Pearce married a French lady and remained in France for the rest of his life, so the Miss Pearce mentioned on the reverse of the card could be an American relative of the painter.We are grateful to Dr Francesca Dini for compiling this catalogue entry.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 69
Pair of French Napoleon III candlesticks, ca. 1860-70. After "CLODION" (Claude Michele, Nancy, 1738 - Paris, 1814).Patinated and gilded bronze.Marble base.Measurements: 120 cm (height) x 40 cm (diameter).Following the Louis XV style, characteristic of the renowned French sculptor Clodion, we are in front of a pair of bronze candelabra, each one of them with a body of lights with five curved arms, gilded and decorated with vegetal motifs. They have flaming lampshades. The light bodies are supported by round sculptures of patinated putti, whose grace and classicism are inspired by those of the prolific sculptor Clodion. They are a pair of curly-haired lovebirds, with carefully cared-for anatomies and soft, warm finishes. The naturalness of their gestures and postures is also remarkable. This type of candelabra was characteristic of the Paris of Napoleon III, when the Clodion style experienced a new boom.Claude Michel, known as Clodion, was born in Nancy, but in 1755 he moved to Paris to study in the workshop of his uncle, the sculptor Lambert Sigisbert Adam, with whom he remained for four years. After his uncle's death he became a pupil of Jean Baptiste Pigalle, Madame de Pompadour's favourite sculptor. His work soon began to be recognised and in 1759 he won the grand prize for sculpture at the Académie Royale. In 1761 he was awarded the first silver medal for studies on models, and a year later he was awarded the Grand Prix de l'Académie Royale, consisting of a pension to further his training in Italy. Clodion was very active in Rome between 1767 and 1771. On returning to Paris he set up his own studio, where he worked with his brothers depicting mythological scenes, groups of dancers, nymphs and bathers in a language somewhere between Rococo and Neoclassicism. His works were in great demand, from the Parisian salons to Catherine II of Russia. Clodion's works are held in the Louvre (Paris), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg), the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), the Art Institute of Chicago, the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Frick Collection (New York) and the Kimbell Museum (Forth Worth, Texas), among many others.
Lot 91
EUGÈNE MARIOTON (France, 1854 - 1933)."Enamoured".Sculpture in patinated bronze.Signed.Size: 93 x 36 x 27 cm.Eugène Marioton's style is characterised by a notable classicism in the forms. His figures are based on the solid French neoclassical and academic tradition, as can be seen in this group made up of a couple of young lovers. Both are dressed in clothes that evoke the classical, Greek and Roman world. The young man wears a short tunic, while the maiden is dressed in a delicate tunic whose folds reveal the underlying anatomy, following the technique of the "wet drapery". The forms are slender and notably idealised, and both figures are placed on a base that evokes, with a few plant elements, an idyllic, archaic setting.A French sculptor and medallist born in Paris, Eugène Marioton was a pupil of Auguste Dumont, Gabriel-Jules Thomas and Jean-Marie Bonnassieux. He was also the brother of the sculptor Claudius Marioton and the painter Jean-Alfred Marioton. He worked in both sculpture and medallistics, and was a regular participant in the Salon de la Société des Artistes Français in Paris, where he was also a member of the jury in 1905. In the last two decades of the 19th century, Marioton was awarded a bronze medal at this exhibition in 1882, a third-class medal in 1883 and a second-class medal in 1884 (in the same year he won a second-class medal in the first Mr Willemsens competition). He was also a laureate in the class of Dumont, first prize in the competition of the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts for his marble bas-relief "Hero et Leandre", and in the same year he received a scholarship from the Conseil Général de la Seine. He took part in the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889 with the bronze group "Les frères d'armes", a year after winning a travel grant in the Prix de Rome competition. He was also awarded the Prix Desprez in 1890, and at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900 he was one of the artists who represented the thirty-six participating nations in the form of 2.5 m high figures with his work "Mineur belge". Works by Eugène Marioton are now in the Louvre, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, the National Museum of Romania and other public and private collections.
Lot 94
French school, modelled on PIERRE JULES MÊNE (Paris, 1810 - 1879)."Hunter on horseback".Sculpture in patinated bronze.Signed "Pierre Jules Mêne" on the lower part.Does not retain a sword. With restoration on the bugle.Size: 95 x 124 x 43 cm.This splendid sculpture is directly inspired by the bronze "Louis XV, hunter on horseback" by Pierre Jules Mêne, which shows the sovereign on the back of his horse, dressed in royal robes and holding a bugle in his hands. The author of our work, however, is more inspired by the American Wild West, depicting a male figure with a hat, bandana and boots on spurs, but also with a bugle. In both sculptures, the horse's laborious work stands out, captured with a precision, naturalism and expressiveness that denote not only mastery on the part of the sculptor, but also a careful study of nature.A disciple of René Compaire, Mêne worked mainly in bronze, specialising in hunting subjects and equestrian groups. In fact, he is today the most famous animal sculptor after Barye. He made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1832 and continued to show his works there until the year of his death, winning a third class medal in 1855, a second class medal in 1878, and a first class medal in 1852 and 1861. In 1861 he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour. He is represented in the Museums of Fine Arts in La Rochelle, Agen, Béziers, Dijon and Rouen, in the Palace of Fontainebleau and in the Louvre, Carnavalet and Decorative Arts Museums in Paris, the Courtauld Institute in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Walters Museum in Maryland, among many others.
