Born in Berlin to Dutch parents, Citroen started drawing at an early age. Encouraged by his parents he first studied photography under Edwin Blumenfeld and later fine art at the Bauhaus under Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Johannes Itten. It was during this time that Citroen started work on his photo-montage Metropolis, 1923, perhaps the artist’s best known work and inspiration for Fritz Lang’s film of the same title. After a brief sojourn to Paris and Switzerland, Citroen moved to Amsterdam where he held his first exhibition of photographs in 1927 and for the following eight years photography would be his focus. Later in his career Citroen turned to painting, more specifically portraiture, noting: Because I am a portraitist, people are more important than art. Without people there would be no art. Drawing many important Dutch personalities such as Gerrit Kouwenaar (1967), K. Schippers (1971), Peter Vos (1974) and Liesbeth List (1979), the artist produced over 7000 portraits before his death in 1983. λ Indicates that this lot may be subject to Droit de Suite royalty charges.

ƟThe Horwer Missal, written by Johannes Horwer for the Church of Schwerzenbach, in Latin, illuminated manuscript on parchment [Switzerland (Zurich), dated 1485] 153 leaves (plus 3 modern paper endleaves at each end), complete, collation: i9 (last probably a singleton), ii-x8, xi6, xii-xix8, xx6 (last 2 leaves of original quire cancelled blanks), some catchwords and contemporary foliation in red ink at head of each recto, double column of 27 lines in an excellent and angular Germanic bookhand, capitals touched in red (some with ornamental cadels reaching into upper and lower margins), red rubrics , small initials in alternate red and blue (some with ornamental cadels reaching into margin), larger initials in ornate red brushstrokes (some with tightly twisting penwork in contrasting colours, and those in lowermost lines with long whip-like penstrokes filling the bas-de-page, a few with human faces and that on fol. 98r with a red dragon’s muzzle), major sections opening with burnished gold initials with pink and khaki-green penwork (some with coloured foliage sprouting into border, and that facing Canon miniature with a dragon’s head at foot and human face at top, opening of text with two sided borders of scrolling coloured foliage with golden fruit, good dry-point sketch of a bird in flight in bas-de-page of fol. 99r, good pen and ink drawing in bas-de-page of fol. 98r of a red-billed stork raising its foot to stamp on a stylised frog, one full-page Crucifixion miniature before the Canon of the Mass, the figures before a burgundy sky set with liquid gold stars and all within a realistic pale green frame, some contemporary or near-contemporary marginal additions, marks on edges of some leaves from leather page markers once glued there, leaves at each end of volume with old water damage leading to cockling, some offset and shine-through in places and a few leaves with damage to their top edges, overall in good and presentable condition, 345 by 245mm.; nineteenth-century brown leather over pasteboards, gilt-tooled with floral and simple fillet frames around a blind-tooled floral cabouchon, “Missale” and “Cod. Membr. /Anni 1484” gilt on spine, in brown felt-lined fitted case This impressively large and weighty codex is one of the tiny proportion of medieval manuscripts for which we know almost all of the circumstances of its creation: its scribe, commissioner and which community it was made for, as well as the date of its completion Provenance:1. Written and illuminated by Johannes Horwer in 1485 for Andreas ‘Molitor’ (Müller), rector of the church in Schwerzenbach (a few miles east of Zurich, and incorporated within the city from 1402): Horwer’s signature discretely in white within the cross bar of the initial ‘S’ on fol. 140r (now mostly erased) and more openly in gold in a banderole in the lower margin of the frontispiece on fol. 2v (another banderole in the outer margin with the date in gold). Molitor is named in the inscription on fol. 89r: “Ego Andreas Molitoris de Keiserstuel rector huius ecclesie in Schwerzenbach pro remedio anime et benefactorum retuli hunc librum 1485” followed by his coat of arms (per fess sable a lion or passant and or a demi waterwheel sable). He is recorded as leutpriester (substitute priest) in Schwerzenbach in 1470, 1489 and 1493.2. From a nineteenth-century episcopal library: two repeated inkstamps on recto of first leaf with galero and six tassels per side, above initials perhaps to be read “ R A”. Text:The volume comprises: an Ordo specialis boni, a list of special feast days (fol. 1r), here functioning as an index to the codex; the Temporal (fol. 2v); the Ordo Missae (fol. 84v); the Canon (fol. 89r); the Sanctoral (fol. 94r), with readings for SS. Felix and Regula, martyred by decapitation near Zurich, and with text here that singles out and lauds Zurich: “O thuregum Rome regum regale palacium” (‘O Zurich royal palace of the kings of Rome’), and again in the text on Charlemagne on fol. 99r: “urbs Thuregum famosa”; the Common of the Saints (fol. 130v); the Missae votive (fol. 137r); and the Collecte speciales (fol. 153r). The Scribe-Artist:We are fortunate that Johannes Horwer’s work is known from more than one extant codex. He signed another Missal produced for the Knights Hospitallers dated 1469 with his name in a similar banderole in purple ink highlighted with gold (the summer part now surviving in s’-Heerenberg, Huis Bergh, MS. 15: A.S. Korteweg, Catalogue of Medieval Manuscripts and Incunabula at Huis Bergh Castle in s’-Heerenberg, 2013, no. 98), and in that he specifically names himself “scriptor”. However, the decoration and miniature of that codex are so close to the present example as to suggest he was also the illuminator. A third volume, a Gradual, was to be found in St. Petersberg in the early part of the twentieth century, and is recorded in a publication of 1925 by O. Dobiasch-Roschdestwenskaja as written by “Johannem Horwer von Lichtensteig burger Zürich” (in ‘Die Satire am Rande der mitteralterlichen Hss.’, Analecta Medii Aevi, I, 1925).

SS. Redempt. Prov. Gallica. Domus Studiorum”. The library classmark “AR2, 7-18” on label on front and inside front cover along with pencil description in capitals “Manuscrit di XIIe Siècle Antiphonaire” probably also theirs. The Redemptorists were a society of missionary priests founded in 1732 by Alphonsus Liguori (d. 1787, canonised 1839) at Scala, in Italy. By the middle of the nineteenth century the movement had spread to France, and there were foundations in Alsace in 1842, St.-Nicolas-du Port in 1845 and two in Savoy in 1847.
