Anselm Feuerbach 1829 Speyer - 1880 Venedig Landschaft, Felsgestein. Um 1857/58. Öl auf Leinwand. Ecker 293. 74 x 62 cm (29,1 x 24,4 in). PROVENIENZ: Kunsthandlung Fritz Gurlitt, Berlin. Privatsammlung Bayern (seit den 1920er Jahren in Familienbesitz). LITERATUR: Hermann Uhde-Bernays, Feuerbach: beschreibender Katalog seiner sämtlichen Gemälde, München 1929, Nr. 158 (m. Abb.). Fotokonvolut: Wolfgang Gurlitt-Archiv, Bildarchiv Foto Marburg, Bilddatei-Nr. fm145146 (www.bildindex.de/document/obj20418121). Anselm Feuerbach erreicht in den 1870er Jahren große Bekanntheit als Vertreter einer neuen Schule mythologisch-literarischer Historienmalerei, wie sie neben ihm die sogenannten Deutschrömer Arnold Böcklin und Hans von Marées aus der Taufe heben. Großformatige Bilder wie „Medea“ (1870, Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Neue Pinakothek, München) oder „Iphigenie“ (1871, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart) überführen die Grandiosität und Erhabenheit, die er in seiner Wahlheimat Rom gefunden zu haben meint, in ihr visuelles Äquivalent. Während seiner ersten Studienjahre an der Düsseldorfer Akademie begegnet er Größen wie dem aus dem Umkreis der Nazarener geprägten Wilhelm von Schadow, und dem Vorbild romantischer Landschaftsmalerei Johann Wilhelm Schirmer. Künstlerisch prägend ist für ihn ebenso die Zeit im Pariser Atelier des Historienmalers Thomas Couture. 1855 reist Feuerbach über Venedig nach Rom, wo er sich bis 1872 mit nur vereinzelten kurzen Unterbrechungen aufhält. Feuerbach ist ebenso auf der Suche nach einer Idealität und dem Fortwirken antiker Erhabenheit, wie er sie in den italienischen Menschen – wie insbesondere seiner über alles verehrten Muse Nanna – aber auch in der seit Jahrhunderten dort existierenden Natur zu finden glaubte. So entstehen auch einige Landschaften von mysteriöser Wirkung. Menschenleer und trotzdem auf seltsame Art beseelt in seiner zerfurchten und verschatteten Struktur, in der Hitze vor dem blauen Himmel aufragend scheint der zerklüftete Fels ideale Heimstätte für Wald- und Naturgeister wie Faune und Dryaden. Feuerbachs derzeitige römischer Malerkollege Arnold Böcklin führt diese Vorstellung 1858/1860 mit dem im Schilff versteckten oder aus dem Gestein auftauchenden Pan, einen Hirten erschrecken, malerisch aus. (Neue Pinakotheks sowie Sammlung Schack, München). Im schattigen Gras am Boden liegend und beobachtend, scheint man als Betrachter:in nur auf das Auftauchen der Naturwesen zu warten. Die Landschaft wird – ähnlich wie Feuerbachs Vorgehen in seinen Historiengemälden – trotz ihrer ruhenden Monumentalität zum bewegten Gefühlsträger, in dem sich die Empfindungen des Realen mit dem Idealen und der Imagination zu vermischen beginnen.

Um 1857/58. Oil on canvas. Ecker 293. 74 x 62 cm (29.1 x 24.4 in). PROVENANCE: Art dealer Fritz Gurlitt, Berlin. Private collection Bavaria (family-owned since the 1920s). LITERATURE: Hermann Uhde-Bernays, Feuerbach: beschreibender Katalog seiner sämtlichen Gemälde, Munich 1929, no. 158 (with illu.). Fotokonvolut: Wolfgang Gurlitt-Archiv, Bildarchiv Foto Marburg, image file no. fm145146 (www.bildindex.de/document/obj20418121). In the 1870s, Anselm Feuerbach achieved great fame as a representative of a new school of mythological-literary historical art, which he created alongside the so-called “Teutonic Romans” Arnold Böcklin and Hans von Marées. Large-scale paintings such as “Medea” (1870, Bavarian State Painting Collections, New Pinakothek, Munich) or “Iphigenie” (1871, State Gallery of Stuttgart) translate into their visual equivalent the grandiosity and sublimity he believed to have found in his adopted hometown of Rome. During his first years of study at the Düsseldorf Academy, he met famous artists like Wilhelm von Schadow, who was inspired by the Nazarenes, and Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, the paragon of Romantic landscape painting. His time at the Paris studio of the historical painter Thomas Couture also had a formative effect on him. In 1855, Feuerbach traveled first to Venice and then on to Rome, where he stayed with brief interruptions until 1872. Feuerbach searched for an idealism and a continuation of ancient sublimity which he believed to have found both in the Italian people – especially in his idolized muse Nanna – and in the nature that had survived there for centuries. His search gave rise to a number of landscapes that are imbued with a mysterious effect. Deserted and yet strangely animated in its ragged and shaded structure, towering in the heat against the blue sky, the craggy rock appears to be the perfect abode of forest and nature spirits like fauns and dryads. Feuerbach’s fellow artist in Rome, Arnold Böcklin, painted this concept in 1858/1860, with Pan hiding in the reeds or emerging from the rocks, frightening a shepherd. (New Pinakothek and Schack Collection, Munich). Lying on the ground in the shady grass, looking on, the viewer seems to be waiting for the emergence of the mystical creatures. Similar to Feuerbach’s approach in his historical paintings, the landscape – despite its dormant monumentality – becomes a turbulent vehicle of emotions, merging perceptions of reality with the ideational and the imaginative.

Wilhelm Trübner 1851 Heidelberg - 1917 Karlsruhe Großherzog Ernst Ludwig von Hessen und bei Rhein. Wohl 1904. Öl auf Leinwand. Vgl. Rohrandt G 278. Rechts oben monogrammiert. 76,5 x 62 cm (30,1 x 24,4 in). Wir danken Herrn Dr. Klaus Rohrandt, Kiel, für die freundliche wissenschaftliche Beratung. Das Werk wird in das Werkverzeichnis aufgenommen. PROVENIENZ: Privatsammlung Rheinland-Pfalz. LITERATUR: Vgl. Joseph August Beringer, Trübner: des Meisters Gemälde in 450 Abbildungen, Stuttgart 1917, S. 278. Zur Entstehungszeit dieses Porträts ist Wilhelm Trübner auf der Höhe seines Erfolgs angekommen. Nach seinem Studium in Karlsruhe, München und Stuttgart hatte er auch im Austausch mit Künstlerkollegen wie Corinth, Slevogt und Liebermann zu seinem farbkräftigen und pastosen, breiten Stil gefunden, der nicht nur seinen Landschaften eine prägnante Kraft verleiht. 1904 ist er Direktor der Karlsruher Kunstakademie, an der er ebenso 1903–1917 als Professor lehrt. Für den Großherzog Ernst Ludwig von Hessen und bei Rhein (1868–1937) entstehen um 1904 Brustbildnisse und ein großformatiges Reiterporträt in seiner Uniform, die er im Rahmen seiner für den Adel üblichen militärischen Laufbahn trägt. Auf der Brust gut sichtbar der Großherzoglich Hessische Philipps-Orden mit dem Ritterkreuz der Schwerter. Ernst Ludwig ist bis 1918 der letzte Großherzog in Hessen und ein wichtiger Mäzen vor allem in Darmstadt, wo er den Ausbau der Künstlerkolonie vorantreibt und die Stadt zu einem Zentrum des Jugendstils werden lässt. In seinem Porträt gelingt es Trübner hier erneut auf faszinierende Weise, mit seinen breiten Strichen dennoch eine höchst präzise und fein modellierte Darstellung der charakteristischen Physiognomie des Modells zu erreichen. [KT] Aufrufzeit: 10.12.2022 - ca. 15.38 h +/- 20 Min. Dieses Objekt wird regel- oder differenzbesteuert angeboten.ENGLISH VERSIONWilhelm Trübner 1851 Heidelberg - 1917 Karlsruhe Großherzog Ernst Ludwig von Hessen und bei Rhein. Wohl 1904. Oil on canvas. Cf. Rohrandt G 278. Monogrammed in upper right. 76.5 x 62 cm (30.1 x 24.4 in). We are grateful to Dr. Klaus Rohrandt, Kiel, for the kind expert advice. The work will be included into the catalog raisonné. PROVENANCE: Private collection Rhineland-Palatinate. LITERATURE: Cf. Joseph August Beringer, Trübner: des Meisters Gemälde in 450 Abbildungen, Stuttgart 1917, p. 278. At the time this portrait was painted, Wilhelm Trübner had reached the height of his success. Following his studies in Karlsruhe, Munich and Stuttgart, his contact with fellow artists such as Corinth, Slevogt and Liebermann helped Trübner develop his own broad, colorful impasto style which lends his landscapes their striking power. In 1904 he was appointed Director of the Karlsruhe Art Academy, where he also taught as a professor from 1903 to 1917. Around the year 1904, he painted bust portraits and a large-scale equestrian portrait of Ernest Louis Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine (1868–1937). With military careers common among the nobility at the time, the Grand Duke is depicted in his uniform. Clearly visible on his chest is the Grand Ducal Hessian Order of Philip the Magnanimous bearing the Knight’s Cross of Swords. With his reign ending in 1918, Ernest Louis was the last Grand Duke of Hesse and a key patron of the arts, above all in Darmstadt where he promoted the expansion of the artists’ colony and transformed the city into a center of Art Nouveau. Although applying his typical broad strokes in this portrait, Trübner nevertheless achieves a strikingly accurate and finely modeled portrayal of the Grand Duke’s distinctive physiognomy.

AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE BRONZE FIGURE OF GUANYIN, DALI KINGDOM, 12TH - MID-13TH CENTURY 大理國罕見觀音銅像Expert's note: A unique feature of copper alloys from Yunnan is the high content of arsenic, making the bronze quite soft, and leading to tiny holes in the material. Alloys from other regions do not develop this compelling tell which is clearly visible in the present lot.A metallurgic analysis of the present lot has shown an arsenic content of 1.5%, which is remarkably elevated. A comprehensive analysis of 32 Chinese copper alloy figures from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, dating from the 4th to the 19th century, has found that only two statues had an arsenic content of above 1.2%. Both these statues are from Yunnan and date to the 11th-12th century. Only five of the other 30 figures showed an arsenic content between 0,5 and 1,2%, all others were below this value, most of them significantly. (1)A comprehensive metallurgic analysis of six near-identical copper alloy figures of Acuoye Guanyin from Yunnan in the collections of the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, the San Diego Museum of Art, the Art institute of Chicago, and the collection of Robert Ellsworth, New York, has returned arsenic contents ranging between 0,53 and 3,08% with an average of 1.89%. (2)As Paul Jett notes, it seems more likely that the singularly high arsenic content in the copper alloys from Yunnan is of natural origin, instead of being a deliberate addition, because sulfide-deposits, where arsenic appears in combination with copper, are widespread in this specific region. (3)For the aforementioned reasons, it seems reasonable to assume that copper alloy statues with an elevated arsenic content of 1% or more are from Yunnan when they show stylistic traits characteristic of this region. Features typical of statues from the Dali Kingdom found on the present lot include for example the unusually elongated face, the minuscule yet razor sharp eye slits, the elaborate headdress with its distinct triple-topknot, the beaded floral jewelry medallions on the breast and the lengthy, almost frail hands that still show the undeniable influence of Indian and Southeast Asian Buddhist images, which at that time had already vanished from the more important centers of Chinese Buddhism.The metallurgic analysis of the present lot furthermore returned a copper share of 75% as well as contents of lead (10%) and zinc (10%). While a zinc content of 10% may be unusual at first glance, it must be noted that coins of the Song dynasty were found to contain Zinc (4) and copper alloys with high levels of zinc eventually became so popular during this period, that they were prohibited by the government for commoners. (5) The Song empire was the eastern neighbor of the Dali Kingdom, and Dali's relationship with the Song was cordial throughout its entire existence, with cultural and economic exchange taking place on multiple levels. In the early Ming dynasty, highly elevated zinc contents of up to 36,4% were found for example in Imperial Xuande period censers dating from 1426-1435.

Superbly cast standing with her right hand lowered in varada mudra and her left held in front, wearing long flowing robes cascading in voluminous folds and billowing scarves, richly adorned with elaborate beaded and floral jewelry. Her elongated serene face with heavy-lidded, almost fully closed eyes centered by a prominent urna above gently arched brows. The hair falling elegantly in strands over the shoulders and pulled up into a distinct triple-topknot behind the pierced foliate tiara. Provenance: Old Viennese private collection, built over several generations between 1910 and 1975, thence by descent in the same family. Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age and displaying remarkably well. Extensive wear, minor losses, nicks, scratches, minuscule dents, signs of weathering and erosion, remnants of lacquer priming with malachite and cuprite patina. Weight: 1,458 g Dimensions: Height 25.8 cm It was not until the American scholar Helen Chapin identified a group of bronzes in western collections as being of Yunnanese origin, based on a scroll painting known as the Long Scroll of Buddhist Images by the 12th-century Yunnanese artist Zhang Shengwen, which she published in 1944, that the origin of these distinctive Dali or Yunnanese bronzes was first realized. In the late 1970s, restoration work at the Qianxun Pagoda in Yunnan province uncovered a reliquary deposit which included a number of statues similar in style to those in the West, see A. Lutz, 'Buddhist Art in Yunnan', Orientations, February 1992. Literature comparison:Compare a seated Bodhisattva in “Der Goldschatz der Drei Pagoden“, Museum Rietberg, Zürich, pages 178-179, number 53 (Fig.1). The beaded floral jewelry medallions on the breast of this statue is near-identical to the jewelry on the present lot. Also compare a rare gilt-bronze figure of Avalokitesvara, Dali Kingdom, 12th century, at Bonhams London, 11 June 2003, lot 133, and note the similar tiny holes in the alloy, as well as the hairstyle with the near-identical yet unusual triple-topknot behind the foliate tiara (Fig.2). Literature comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's New York, 25 March 2022, lot 748 Description: A magnificent and highly important gilt-bronze figure of Guanyin, Dali Kingdom, late 11th-early 12th century Expert remark: Compare the alloy with its characteristic remnants of lacquer priming and the distinct malachite and cuprite patina. Also compare the similar robes cascading in voluminous folds, elaborately beaded floral jewelry, billowing scarves, and manner of casting with similarly elongated face and hands. Note the significantly larger size (57.1 cm) and the highly important provenance.大理國罕見觀音銅像中國,雲南,大理王國,十二世紀至十三世紀中期。由於字數限制,完整中文敘述請至www.zacke.at查看。
