Lot 142

Jacopo Tintoretto, 1518 Venedig – 1594 ebendaDas letzte AbendmahlÖl auf Leinwand. Doubliert.142 x 220 cm.Ungerahmt.Das hier angebotene Werk des Tintoretto ist nicht nur ein kompositorisches Meisterwerk, sondern auch von höchstem Interesse, was die Arbeitsabläufe des großen venezianischen Malers angeht. So ist die vorliegende Leinwand der erste Entwurf für das große Gemälde Tintorettos (221 x 413 cm), welches sich heute in der Kirche San Trovaso am gleichnamigen Platz im Sestiere von Dorsoduro in Venedig befindet und bereits 1584 von Borghini erwähnt wurde: „Nelle cappella del Sacramento di detta chiesa vi sono due quadri, nell'uno quando Cristo lava i piedi agli apostoli, e nell'altro quando cena con quelli...“ Die in der Frühzeit Venedigs, im Jahr 1028, gegründete Kirche stützte in ihrer gotischen Form 1583 ein. Heute befindet sich gegenüber dem Eingang vom Rio de San Trovaso das letzte Abendmahl, das Tintoretto 1559 schuf und das Jacob Burckhardt als zum „gemeinsten Schmaus entwürdigt“ bezeichnete. Es ist die wohl gewagteste Komposition des Themas aus seiner Hand mit schräg in den Raum gesetztem Tisch, umgekipptem Stuhl, gewagten Verkürzungen der in den Raum hineingreifende, wohl vom Wein nicht mehr ganz nüchterne Körper und effektreicher Beleuchtung. Um einen rechteckigen Tisch, auf dem Essen und Wein stehen, sind die zwölf Apostel angeordnet. Jesus, gekleidet in eine rosa-violette Tunika, hat soeben den Verrat durch einen von ihnen aufgedeckt. Die Apostel reagieren auf die Ankündigung und suchen untereinander nach einem Zeichen, das den Verräter zeigt (Mt 26,21; Mk 14,18; Lk 22,21; Joh 13,21). Johannes trägt die gleiche Tunika wie Christus und sitzt neben ihm, den Kopf müde auf den Tisch gestützt. Petrus wendet sich im Stehen an Jesus und erklärt ihm seine Treue. Judas ist vielleicht wohl rechts auf dem Gemälde dargestellt, auf einem Schemel sitzend, einen Teller in der Hand. Im Hintergrund, zwischen den Bögen, stehen zwei flüchtige Figuren, eine Frau und ein bärtiger Mann. Sie sind in lange Gewänder gekleidet und scheinen eine Sibylle und ein Prophet zu sein. In unserer Vorstudie ist ihre Gewandung der Farbigkeit der restlichen Kleider angeglichen, sodass ihre Entrücktheit erst in der vergrößerten Fassung voranschreiten wird. Von der realen Welt des Betrachters, die durch die Offenbarung des Wortes Christi erhellt wird, gehen wir in eine Zeit ante gratiam über, die gerade durch die beiden Figuren verkörpert wird, die die Zukunft erwarten, die sie selbst prophezeit haben.Der Pilaster links der Kapelle ist datiert MDLVI (1556), sodass sich auch für die Kapelle eine Weihung um diese Zeit, vielleicht 1560 bis 1565 ergibt, und somit auch einen Entstehungszeitpunkt für das Abendmahl in der Kirche und auch für unser Gemälde markiert, wobei das hier angebotene Gemälde – zumal eine Vorstudie – etwas früher enstanden sein wird.Ausstellung:Das hier angebotene Gemälde war ausgestellt in: El Greco e l'Italia.

(1341011) (3) (13)Jacopo Tintoretto, 1518 Venice – 1594 ibid.THE LAST SUPPER Oil on canvas. Relined.142 x 220 cm.The painting by Tintoretto on offer for sale in this lot is not only a compositional masterpiece but is also of the greatest interest in terms of the working processes of the great Venetian painter. The present canvas is in fact the first sketch for the large painting by Tintoretto (221 x 413 cm), which is now in the church of San Trovaso in the eponymous campo in the Sestiere of Dorsoduro neighbourhood in Venice and was already mentioned by Borghini in 1584: “Nelle cappella del Sacramento di detta chiesa vi sono due quadri, nell’uno quando Cristo lava i piedi agli apostoli, e nell’altro quando cena con quelli...”. The Gothic church, founded in Venice’s early days in 1028, collapsed in 1583. Today, opposite the entrance to the Rio de San Trovaso, is The Last Supper, which Tintoretto created in 1559 and which Jacob Burckhardt described as degraded to the meanest feast. It is probably the artist’s most daring composition of the subject with a table placed at an angle in the room, an overturned chair, daring foreshortening of the bodies reaching into the room, which are no longer quite sober from the wine, and effective lighting. The 12 apostles are arranged around a rectangular table on which food and wine are laid out. Jesus, dressed in a pink and violet tunic, has just uncovered the betrayal of one of them. Responding to the announcement, the apostles search among themselves for a sign of the traitor (Matthew 26:21; Mark 14:18; Luke 22:21; John 13:21). Wearing the same tunic as Christ, John sits next to him, his head resting wearily on the table. Standing, Peter turns to Jesus and declares his loyalty to him. Judas is possibly depicted on the right of the painting, seated on a stool, and holding a plate. In the background, between the arches, are two cursory figures of a woman and a bearded man. They are dressed in long robes and appear to be a sibyl and a prophet. In our preliminary study, her robes match the colours of the rest of the clothes, so that her otherworldliness will only progress in the enlarged version. From the viewer’s real world, illuminated by the revelation of Christ’s word, we pass into a time ante gratiam, embodied precisely by the two characters awaiting the future they themselves predicted. The pilaster on the left of the chapel is dated MDLVI (1556), revealing a dedication of the chapel around the same time, perhaps 1560-1565, and thereby also giving a date of the creation of The Last Supper in the church and for the present painting, whereby the latter – especially as a preliminary study – would have been created a little earlier.Provenance:The painting on offer for sale here exhibited at: El Greco e l’Italia.

April 2004, Lot 34 (als Werkstatt van der Lamen).Anmerkung:Christoph Jacobsz. van der Laemen war ein flämischer Maler, der sich auf Genreszenen spezialisiert hatte. Er war der Sohn des Malers Jacob van der Lamen (1584-1624). Er lernte bei ihm, bevor er ein Schüler von Frans Francken d.J. (1581-1642) wurde. Zwischen 1620 und 1634 ließ er sich in Amsterdam nieder, wo er seine Vorliebe für Szenen geselliger Zusammenkünfte zeigte, bei denen gespielt, getrunken oder getanzt wird, inspiriert von den niederländischen Malern Dirck Hals (1591-1656), Pieter Codde (1599-1678) und vor allem Anthonie Palamedes (1602-1673), von dem er einige seiner Kompositionen entlehnt hat. Zurück in Antwerpen, wurde er Professor der Lukasgilde im Jahr 1636. Danach nahm seine Karriere Fahrt auf und er schuf zahlreiche Gemälde. Seine Handschrift ist durch die häufige Verwendung von Charakteren mit manchmal stereotypen Haltungen leicht zu erkennen. Seine Werke finden sich heute in den Sammlungen der größten westlichen Museen, angefangen mit dem Musée du Louvre.

Indeed, current scholarship now takes a more cautious approach to the output of this artist and his studio in general, from which the extent of the master's participation cannot be known with certainty in those works which are not signed.We are grateful to Dr. Fred Meijer for his assistance in the cataloguing of this lot.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

For a detailed discussion about the service, see David Peters, Sèvres Plates and Services (2005, revised edition 2015), vol. II, no. 57-2, pp. 301-305. The records list eight plats d'entrées which were made in different sizes at a cost of either 144 or 192 livres each. It is not specified which exact shapes were used for the smaller and larger plats d'entrées, but the present lot (together with another dish of the same shape) seems to have been one of the eight, likely one of the four larger ones at a cost of 192 livres. A circular dish dated D (plat de pot à oille du roi) from a Paris private collection, mentioned by Peters, may also have been one of the larger plats d'entrées. He suggests the smaller plats may have included plat à raves, including one dated D sold at Sotheby's Monte Carlo, 27 June 1984, lot 1570.The shape known as 'plat à groseilles' is based on a design drawing by Jean-Claude Duplessis, which still survives in the archives at Sèvres and is annotated 'grand plat du Rôt pour le bout de table'.

Other table and coffee services were delivered to Fontainebleau at the same time, including a service with beau bleu ground that was also originally intended for Compiègne (S. Wittwer, Raffinesse & Eleganz (2007), cat. no. 64). In the imperial hierarchy, Fontainebleau ranked second among the country estates, just after Saint Cloud, and required furnishings commensurate with its importance (Le Prince, p. 72).The service comprised 180 plates, thirty-six plates (without the butterfly and floral wreath in the centre) for mounting as fruit plates, sixteen compotiers (of which half had dolphin feet), four footed bowls, four sugar bowls with eagle heads, two ice pails with elephant heads, two ice coolers of 'forme Olympique', four baskets 'forme Jasmin' and four shallower baskets. An additional four sugar bowls 'à dauphin olympique' were listed separately as a cost of 1400 francs, and four more plates were listed on 18 October 1809, and another on 25 March 1811 (Wittwer, ibid.).Two other plates from the service were sold in these Rooms, 3 December 2008, lots 371 and 372, the first of which was acquired by the Château de Fontainebleau. Another plate was sold in these rooms 25 May 2011, lot 363, and two more on 12 December 2012, lots 238 and 240. A group of pieces from the service hitherto unrecorded in the literature and including one of the ice pails with elephant heads, two of the sugar bowls with eagle heads, one footed bowl, six compotiers, as well as twelve plates, was recently sold from the estate of David Rockefeller (Christie's New York, 9 May 2018, lot 118), apparently having been acquired by his mother, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, around 1940.

A very rare Meissen underglaze-blue-decorated large pewter-mounted cylindrical tankard, circa 1720-23Painted probably by J.G. Höroldt in underglaze-blue with a chinoiserie scene depicting a standing and a seated figure flanking a table, with further figures, including a woman holding a baby, to the sides, flanked by flowering plants, trees and rockwork, birds and insects in flight overhead, a seeded trellis band reserved with quatrelobe flower panels around the foot, the handle with a flower between two leaves, the pewter cover with ball thumbpiece, 23cm high including coverFootnotes:See U. Pietsch/C. Banz, Triumph der blauen Schwerter (2010), nos. 68-76, for vessels and dishes decorated in underglaze-blue and polychrome enamels with chinoiserie scenes in the distinctive style attributed to Johann Gregorius Höroldt and Johann Christoph Horn; the physiognomy of the figures and the hanging foliage on the tree, in particular, are closely similar.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An early Meissen saucer, circa 1723Painted with a chinoiserie scene of a man seated at a table smoking a pipe in a landscape, within two circular iron-red concentric lines, the rim gilt, 12.6cm diam., incised / inside footrim (three small chips to underside of rim)Footnotes:The style of painting closely resembles that on an early teapot formerly in the collections of the Princes von Thurn und Taxis (published by U. Pietsch/K. Jacobsen, Frühes Meissener Porzellan (1997), no. 2) and may be from the same service. The decoration on the saucer can be traced to a drawing from the Schulz Codex, Plate 3, where the seated man at a table filled with tea wares can be found (transposed) on the right-hand side.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
