Brüsseler Tapisserie414 x 443 cm.Brüssel, zweites Drittel 17. Jahrhundert.Eingewebte Werkstattmarke rechts unten auf dunkler Umrandung. Wandteppich in Wolle gearbeitet mit breiter Bordüre mit Maskarons und Pflanzenelementen, die allesamt den Bezug zur Antike evoizieren sollen. Darin zentrale Schlachtenszene nahe eines öffentlichen Gewässers. Vorne rechts ein geharnischter Feldherr zu Pferd, der das Geschehen dominiert und von einem Fähnrich hinterfangen wird, der mutmaßlich das Wappen der Stadt Zutphen trägt. Der Feldherr dürfte Alexander der Große sein und – wenn das Wappen als dasjenige von Zutphen zu interpretieren ist – mag der Bezug zum Namensvetter Alessandro Farnese gestattet sein, der 1586 die Niederländer und ihre englischen Hilfstruppen in der Schlacht von Zutphen schlug.Provenienz:Ab den 1970er-Jahren Privatsammlung, London und Madrid.

Brüsseler Tapisserie: Kaiser Konstantins Hinwendung zum Christentum416 x 445 cm.Monogrammiert mit Wappen flankierendem Monogramm BB.Brüssel, zweites Drittel des 17. JahrhundertsBordüre mit stark plastischen Effekten mit Maskarons, Rollwerk, Ovalkartuschen mit antiken Szenen und Palmettbändern. Ab 312, also seit der Schlacht an der Milvischen Brücke begünstigte Kaiser Konstantin immer mehr das Christentum, wobei er durch seinen Berater Bischof Ossius von Cordoba beeinflusst wurde. Es könnte sein, dass dieser links am Bildrand erscheint und Konstantin vor ihm knieend. Ebenso als Konstantin zu denken ist das geharnischte auf dem Pferd mit dem geteilten Allianzwappen vier Kreuze und einen steigenden Löwen zeigend. Sein Helm wird neben dem Löwen auch von einem Dornenkranz und von einem ihm gereichten Lorbeerkranz geziert, was den Sieg des Christentums über die traditionellen römischen Gottheiten versinnbildlicht.Provenienz:Ab den 1970er-Jahren Privatsammlung, London und Madrid.

Louis le Brocquy HRHA (1916-2012) Cavanagh (1974) Aubusson wool tapestry, 382 x 386cm (150½ x 152'') Signed and dated (19)'74 UniqueProduced by Tabard Freres & Soeurs, France No:2031 (label verso)Provenance: Privately commissioned from the artist for Setanta House, DublinTapestry art was having somewhat of a renaissance in the twentieth century, becoming a medium, which was increasingly attractive to progressive modernist artists. French artist Jean Lucrat had pioneered this approach in tapestry design some years earlier, developing a technique, which prioritised the material as the guiding principle for the design rather than an attempt to make the tapestry conform to the characteristics of the painted image. Le Brocquy was drawn to Lucrat's example, whereby he could create very detailed and colour coded templates that the weavers would follow with exact precision. He rejected the painted cartoon in favour of a full-scale linear design. This allowed him to directly indicate each transition of colour and tone in the woven fabric.He had already collaborated on numerous occasions with the workshop of Tabard Frères et Soeurs in the Aubusson region. In 1973 he resumed working on a new series based on the themes and imagery of The Táin. This resulted in the Cúchulainn tapestries, which emerged in various iterations over the following decades. The Milles Tetes (Thousand Heads) series is a distinctive example of both Le Brocquy's sustained interest in representing the human head and the visual effect of inverting colour and tone. This work is a unique piece, commissioned for a private client, which draws on the similar design tropes of the series.The stylized heads arranged in rows, suggestive of some massing force, are distinctive, drawn with their own features and characteristics. Yet through their repeated presence across the woven surface, they blend into one another to create 'a mass of human presence' (Dorothy Walker, Louis Le Brocquy, Dublin, 1981, p.51). The dark austerity of the Tain's illustrations are replaced here by vibrant colours. The shift in tone from bold primary colours in the centre to paler hues creates a dramatic effect.In this work, Le Brocquy was able to explore the interdependence of form, colour and narrative content on a monumental scale. It is an extremely expressive work in which he has layered the colours, to exemplify the full spectrum. The background shifts from black to varying degrees of grey and white, which is then layered with primary colour tones. These move across the tapestry from paler hues in arrangement of blue, green, yellow and red. The longer you observe it, the more visually receptive it becomes. As Le Brocquy remarked on this effect on the human eye, "Further to the emotional character of single and interrelated colour, lies the magic of colour inversion. Staring fixedly at a colour or colours, the saturated eye - shifting to a white surface - precisely inverts those colours both in hue and tonally. A retinal 'memory' emerges inverted, an entirely new perception as contrary as night from day".

George Chann (Chinese/American, 1913-1995). Mixed media on canvas abstract painting in blue, yellow, and red. Signed along the lower right.Provenance: Private Texas Collection, 2023; Private Minnesota Collection.Lot Essay:George Chann was a Chinese-American artist known for his significant contributions to modern art in the mid-20th century. Born in Canton, China, Chann immigrated to the United States in 1933, where he later became a prominent figure in the American art scene. His work is characterized by a fusion of Eastern and Western artistic traditions, blending traditional Chinese calligraphy with modern abstract expressionism. Chann's unique style and innovative approach garnered attention, leading to numerous exhibitions and accolades throughout his career.In the 1950s and 1960s, Chann played a key role in the California art scene, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area. His paintings often featured bold brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and a sense of spontaneity that reflected his deep understanding of both Chinese and Western artistic philosophies. Chann's artistry transcended cultural boundaries, offering viewers a bridge between two worlds. His legacy continues to influence contemporary artists, highlighting the rich tapestry of cultural exchange in the realm of modern art.Unframed; height: 16 3/4 in x width: 21 1/4 in.

A BEAUVAIS AMUSEMENTS CHAMPÊTRES TAPESTRY AFTER JEAN BAPTISTE OUDRY FRENCH, CIRCA 1780 Woven with Oudry's design 'La Main Chaude' ("Hot Cockles"), figures in a wooded landscape beside a stream and stone folly, an open landscape with chateau visible in the distance, a shepherdess and her flock on the opposite bank, within a scrolling bold acanthus frame border approximately 300cm high, 397cm wide The design for this tapestry panel belonged to a series of "amusements champêtres" devised by Oudry (1686-1755) with one stage of his composition preserved in a drawing in the Stockholm National Museum (No. 2890 / I863). The scene features a game of "hot cockles" where a blindfolded person bent over with his head in the lap of a woman. The other players slapped him on the hand that is tucked behind his back, and he had to guess who it is. When the person guesses correctly who slapped him, that person takes his place. The game is depicted in a contemporary painting (1767-1773) by Fragonard (National Gallery of Art, Washington, 1946.7.6). A version of this tapestry is held in the Harvard Art Museum (1953.114). Condition Report: With wear, marks, repairs and sun fading as per age, handling, use, and cleaning. The whole with a slightly brown tint but retaining some of the more fragile lighter colour tones.

TWO NORTH EUROPEAN TAPESTRY PANELS OR CUSHION COVERS, ONE DEPICATING A BIBLICAL SCENE, THE OTHER AN ALLEGORICAL SCENE (2)Probably North German, Late 16th / Early 17th Century The first depicting the Madonna and Child with attendant patrons and architecture behind, winged putti holding a crown above, borders of leafy garland and fruit with possibly a coat of arms to the bottom edge, 56.5 x 56.5cm; the second with central garden fountain, castle to the background with a female holding a knife and reclining gentleman to the foreground, with a floral border, 56 x 58.5cmThese two vibrant small tapestries are associated with a group of tapestries woven in silks and wools attributed to southern Denmark and the Schleswig-Holstein region of North Germany.

Small tapestries of this nature were typically conceived as cushion covers and in sets, illustrating related subjects or biblical stories.
