Lot 79
Figure en porcelaine blanche représentant une femme à la chaise, Meissen, 1930-1933 A white Meissen figure of a lady (Ruhende), circa 1930-1933Modelled by Paul Scheurich, as a fashionable lady lying on a chaise longue, an open book on the ground below, on a stepped rectangular base, 24 cm high, 29.5cm long, 14.5cm wide, crossed swords mark and dot between hilts in underglaze-blue, incised 'SCHEURICH 29' to top of base, incised model number A 1216 and impressed 'Bossierer' numeral 136 (restoration to tips of feet)Footnotes:Exhibited:Meissen, Museum der Meissen Porzellan-Stiftung, Paul Scheurich. Porzellangestalter Zeichner Grafiker, 6 March 2020-21 February 2021In Autumn 1928, having spent more than five years in seclusion, Scheurich resurfaced in the midst of the excitement and life of the golden 1920s in Berlin, giving him plenty of new inspiration and regained creativity. The model of the Ruhende was one of the first new works by the recovered artist, a charming and slightly humorous depiction of the 'modern' woman lounging on a chaise-longue, a book forgotten at the foot of the settee. Scheurich intended that this figure remain undecorated, according to a note on the sketch for lot the group Türke und Türkin zu Pferde (Rafael 1995, p. 80). The Meissen factory received the model in June 1929, having purchased it for RM 3,000. It was produced in porcelain from 1930 but the first sale was only in 1936 and, by the end of 1945 only eight examples had gone into the trade, despite the model receiving the Grand Prix at the Paris World Exhibition in 1937.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 94
Très rare groupe en porcelaine figurant Petruschka, Meissen, circa 1930-1933 A very rare Meissen group of Petruschka, circa 1930-1933Modelled by Paul Scheurich, the female dancer with her arms raised and her right leg outstretched wearing a tutu and pink trousers, the male dancer leaning forwards and wearing a tunic decorated with silver stars and bells and striped trousers, a barrel organ between them, on a high elongated octagonal base decorated with a blue, iron-red and grey border, incised 'Scheurich' to the reverse of the organ, 27cm high, crossed swords and dot between the hilts in underglaze-blue to the rear of the base, incised model number A 1225, impressed former numeral 42 for Alexander Struck and incised LW 75 ('Massezeichen')Footnotes:Provenance: Private commission for Alexander Struck (1902-1990), modeller and designer at the Meissen manufactory 1923-1968Exhibited:Meissen, Museum der Meissen Porzellan-Stiftung, Paul Scheurich. Porzellangestalter Zeichner Grafiker, 6 March 2020-21 February 2021 This example is the only decorated version of the period known outside of the manufactory. The model is based on another ballet first performed by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Berlin in December 1912. It is likely that Scheurich saw one of the performances at the time, but it is unknown why he created a porcelain group based on the ballet 18 years later in April 1930 (Rafael 1995a, p.92, no. 42). A sketch for the model has survived and was published in the magazine 'Sport im Bild', 37/14 (1931). The first example was formed in October 1930 and then fired and painted shortly thereafter. However, for an unknown reason the group was not included in the selling catalogues of the manufactory and only in 1943 were three white examples noted as sold. See Rafael 1995c for a full discussion of Scheurich's ballet models.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

MARIÀ FORTUNY (Reus, Tarragona, 1838-Rome, 1874)"Allegory of Christianity".Oil on cardboard.Signed in the lower right corner.Sketch for a painting representing the vision of the Coliseum.Reproduced in "Mariano Fortuny Marsal" Volume II (Carlos González and Montserrat Martí). Colección Maestros del Arte de los siglos XIX y XX pg.: 22. Editorial Diccionari Ràfols. Barcelona, 1989.Size: 16,5 x 24 cm; 37,5 x 44,5 cm (frame).Mariano Fortuny probably painted this oil painting (sketch for a painting set in the Coliseum) in his last period, when he was living in Rome, a city in which he lived intermittently throughout his career. That this is a work of the artist's maturity is evident from the supreme freedom of line and the ingenuity of the composition. The anecdotalism of oriental subjects that he worked on so much in earlier periods has been suppressed in favour of an expressionism "avant la lettre", anticipating to some extent avant-garde solutions. Here, the very free spirit which animates the dramatic play of light, the dissolution of forms in favour of the pure impulse of the gesture, is subordinated to the religious theme. Forming a sort of ascending swirl, the glowing angels and saints on the right are counterpointed by the dark spirits on the left. Both allude to the theme of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ. The allegory seems to speak to us, beyond the biblical theme, of the light and shadow of good and evil, of their eternal struggle. As the scene is set in the Coliseum, it could represent the triumph of Christianity over paganism. Fortuny displayed a profound knowledge of Baroque painting, which he reinterpreted with complete freedom: the ascension theme, the rupture of glory... are Baroque elements reread in a modern key.Fortuny began his training at the Municipal School of Art in Reus, and in 1850 he moved to Barcelona with his grandfather. There he continued his studies as a disciple of Domingo Talarn, and entered the School of Fine Arts, where his teachers were Pablo Milá, Claudio Lorenzale and Luis Rigalt. At the same time he attended Lorenzale's public school, which determined his inclination towards Romantic painting at this early stage. In 1858 he settled in Rome thanks to a scholarship, and attended the Accademia Chigi. While there, the Diputació de Barcelona invited him to travel to Morocco to paint the warlike encounters that were taking place in the area, which was to be a turning point in his career. The light of Morocco and the exoticism of the place and its people led him to take an interest in aspects totally unknown in his previous production. In 1860 he visited Madrid, where he visited the Prado Museum and became interested in the work of Velázquez and Goya. Shortly afterwards he began a trip around Europe and finally returned to Rome for good. He attended classes at the French Academy of Fine Arts at the Villa Medici, and in 1861 he visited Florence and came into contact with the "macchiaioli". From then on he returned to Morocco and Paris, as well as travelling to Toledo, where he discovered the work of El Greco. In 1867 he exhibited in the studio of Federico de Madrazo, who became his father-in-law that same year. The following year he returned to Rome, and in 1870 his international fame was consolidated thanks to his exhibition at the Paris gallery of Goupil. During these years he moved to Granada, to the Fonda de los Siete Suelos in the Alhambra, with the idea of tackling new themes with the greater freedom afforded by commercial and critical success. However, in 1872 he was forced to return to Rome, where he remained until his death. Mariano Fortuny is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Gallery in London, the Hispanic Society Museum in New York, the Palazzo Ruspoli in Rome, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao, San Francisco, Cincinnati and Boston and the National Art Museum of Catalonia, among many others.
