§ TSELKOV, OLEG(B. 1934)§Portrait of Maya Lugovskaya, signed, titled in Cyrillic and dated 1974 on the reverse, further variously inscribed on the stretcher.Oil on canvas, 110 by 70 cm.Provenance: Collection of the sitter. Important private collection, Europe. Exhibited: Venere Russa. Fascino femminile nell’arte del novecento, Foundazione Terruzzi Villa Regina Margherita, Bordighera, 9 July–28 September 2014. Literature: V. Perelmuter, “Svoboda odinochestva”, Toronto Slavic Quarterly, No. 13, Summer 2005, online source, mentioned in the text. Exhibition catalogue, X. Muratova, Venere Russa. Fascino femminile nell’arte del novecento, Milan, Silvana Editoriale, 2014, p. 163, illustrated. The Portrait of Maya Lugovskaya, which is now offered for auction, is one of the most dramatic portraits by the Russian nonconformist artist Oleg Tselkov. Mikhail Chemiakin has described Tselkov’s style as a “heady mix of Rembrandt’s chiaroscuro and the voluptuous flesh of Rubens, multiplied by Russian madness and the vigour of a barbarous soul”. The work presented is a brilliant example of this. The extravagant, “dusky beauty”, painted with strokes of red, maroon and gold colours, is a wife of the celebrated poet Vladimir Lugovskoy. One can recognise the enormous rings with semi-precious stones on her fingers, which she was so fond of wearing. The portrait reflected the enigmatic, mystical and beguiling essence of Maya Lugovskaya (1914–1993), who inspired both artists and poets. She was the muse of the artist Anatoly Zverev, among others. Maya would fire the imagination of anyone who was fortunate enough to meet her. She was a writer herself and a true connoisseur of poetry and literature. She was also fond of making prophecies and interpreting dreams. Outside literary and artistic circles, however, she was known as the geochemist Elena Bykova, who spent much of her time on geological expeditions. According to the recollections of the prominent Russian poet and literary historian Vadim Perelmuter, the portrait now on offer hung in the model’s living room, “in a dim section of wall”, surrounded by “books interspersed with marvellous porcelain and wonderful trinkets”, in full view of members of Moscow’s bohemian society who regularly gathered at Maya’s home.

A French patinated bronze model of the Faun with Clappers, late19th century, cast after the Antique, the figure portrayed in dance, a cymbal held in each hand, his right foot atop a scabellum, the oval base inscribed Louvre in the maquette, 59cm high The marble original of the Faun with Clappers resides in the Uffizi Galleries, Florence, and indeed was first recorded in that city by Albert Rubens (son of the Dutch master) in 1665, having seen the piece in the collection of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. It had been moved to the Tribuna of the Uffizi by 1688. The model was always a popular one, being light hearted and playful, and was therefore much reproduced from the Renaissance onwards. A full-scale bronze version was made by Soldani for Prince Liechtenstein in 1695 and again for the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim Palace, and small versions were produced by Zoffoli and Righetti, -and indeed by many others ever since

Follower of Bernardo Strozzi (1582-1644, Italian) The Madonna and Child, oil on board, framed, 25 x 20cmStrozzi was born in Genoa. He was probably not related to the other Strozzi family. In 1598, at the age of 17, he joined a Capuchin monastery, a reform branch of the Franciscan order. When his father died c1608, he left the order to care for his mother, earning their living with his paintings, which were often influenced by Franciscan teachings, for example his Adoration of the Shepherds (c. 1615) . In 1625, he was charged with illegally practicing as a painter. When his mother died c1630, Bernardo was pressured in court by the Capuchin's to re-enter the order. He was briefly imprisoned in Genoa , and upon release fled to Venice to avoid confinement in a monastery in 1631. He became nicknamed all his life as il prete Genovese (the Genoa priest).Saint Christopher, by Strozzi.Early paintings, such as The Ecstasy of St Francis show the dark emotionalism of Caravaggio. But by the second decade of the 17th century, while working in Venice, Strozzi had synthesized a personal style which fused painterly influences of the North (including Rubens and Veronese) with a monumental realistic starkness. For example, in the painting The Incredulity of Thomas, the background is muted, yet Jesus' face, haloed and his outline, misty, in a style atypical of Caravaggio. Never as dark as the Caravaggisti, Venice infused his painting with a gentler edge, a style more acceptable to the local patronage, and one derived from his precursors in Venice, Jan Lys (died 1629) and Domenico Fetti (died 1626), who had also fused the influence of Caravaggio into Venetian art. Examples of this style can be found in his Parable of the Wedding Guests (1630),Christ giving keys of Heaven to Saint Peter (1630), Saint Lawrence distributing Alms at San Nicolò da Tolentino and a Personification of Fame (1635-6). He was also likely influenced by Velazquez (who visited Genoa in 1629-30). After a commission to paint Claudio Monteverdi his fame grew, and his portrait paintings included many of the leading Venetians. His pupils and painter strongly influenced by him included Giovanni Andrea de Ferrari (1598-1669), Giovanni Bernardo Carbone, Valerio Castello and, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione.
