Dieses Motiv des Anglers entsteht in einer Zeit, in der sich Spitzweg intensiv mit der Karikatur und der spitzen Feder der französischen Zeichner beschäftigt. Der Maler, Grafiker und Verleger Kaspar Braun gründet 1844 in München die illustrierte Zeitschrift „Fliegende Blätter“, für die er auch Spitzweg als Mitwirkenden Zeichner gewinnen kann. Vorbild waren die satirischen Pariser Blätter „Charivari“ und „La Caricature“, in denen Größen wie Paul Gavarni, Gustave Doré oder Honoré Daumier ihre treffenden Karikaturen veröffentlichten. Auch die „Fliegenden Blätter“ werden für ihre zielsichere Charakterisierung des deutschen Bürgertums schnell bekannt. Zwischen Gedichten, Erzählungen und Vermischtem tragen vor allem die Illustrationen solcher Blätter zu einer panorama-artigen Typologie der Gesellschaft bei, bei denen besonders das gesetzte Bürgertum ins Zentrum des Spottes rückt. Aus Figuren der „Fliegenden Blätter“ geht schließlich auch der die Zeitspanne der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts bezeichnende Begriff des „Biedermeier“ hervor. Gekennzeichnet ist diese Zeit der Restauration bis zum Beginn der bürgerlichen Revolution von 1848 von einem Rückzug ins Private, in die kleinen Freuden des Alltags und einer Abkehr von politischen oder gesellschaftlichen Turbulenzen. Der Gestaltung des privaten Lebens und der Freizeit wird dagegen immer größere Aufmerksamkeit zuteil. Einen solchen gutsituierten, wohl aus dem städtischen Raum stammenden Bürger hat es hier in die Waldeinsamkeit verschlagen, wo er sich an einem kleinen Bach zum Angeln niedergelassen hat. Die Kleidung mit Frack und Weste, blütenweißer Halsbinde und hohem schwarzen Zylinderhut scheint nicht gerade zweckdienlich, auch die Nickelbrille weist ihn eher als Gelehrten oder Beamten denn als Naturburschen aus. Seine Unerfahrenheit spricht auch aus der instabilen Lage, in die er sich mit der Wahl des abschüssigen Steins am Ufer des Baches gebracht hat. Mit hochgezogenen Augenbrauen erblickt er seinen Fang am Ende der Leine - vermutlich hätte er sich aufgrund der durchgebogenen Angelrute einen dickeren Fisch erhofft. Ein nächstes Unglück scheint sich zudem abzuzeichnen - wie lange mag der rutschige Stein den Angler noch vor einem Tauchgang bewahren? Solche persönlichen Erlebnisse verschmelzen mit der genrehaften und zugleich karikaturesken Typologie, aus der Spitzweg seine berühmten Sonderlingsgestalten herausformt. Diese haben sich ganz ihrer Passion verschrieben und gehen ihr in schönstem Dilettantismus aber mit nicht unerheblichem Eifer nach – im Grunde so wie Spitzweg seiner Malerei. Auch Spitzweg als Münchner Bürger ist wie der Angler viel in den Bergen und auf dem Land unterwegs, als Maler und ebenso ausgestattet mit Nickelbrille dürfte er selbst durchaus als Sonderling wahrgenommen worden sein. Die Vielfalt der Abwandlungen des Angler-Motivs in unterschiedlichen Techniken lassen darauf schließen, dass Spitzweg schon in den frühen 1830er Jahren das Bildthema aufgenommen hatte und aus dem einsamen Sonntagsfischer eine seiner beliebten Sonderlingsfiguren gemacht hatte. Dieser „Angler“ ist darüber hinaus eines der seltenen Werke mit Datierung, die Spitzweg nur in Ausnahmefällen auf Wunsch von Auftraggebern oder wenn ihm ein Gemälde besonders gelungen schien der Signatur hinzufügte.

En 1831 et 1832, la publication de deux lithographies stigmatisant les vices de la Monarchie de Louis-Philippe, Gargantua et La Cour du roi Pétaud, lui ont valu d'être incarcéré pendant six mois.Cette expérience marque un tournant dans la vie de Daumier. Il réalise dès lors peu de caricatures politiques, excepté Le Ventre législatif, Rue Transnonain et la statuette de Ratapoil (1851-1852), modelée à l'image des partisans d'un régime méprisé par l'artiste. La loi du 29 août 1835 contre la liberté de la presse sonne le glas des caricatures et de la satire politique. L'artiste n'a plus d'autres choix que de dépeindre la société contemporaine, ses mœurs et ses attitudes et s'en donne à cœur joie. Le Charivari, journal fondé par Philipon en 1832, sera son terrain de jeu privilégié et sa plus belle galerie. Cette envie de dénoncer et de relater les évènements de la société lui vient de son expérience familiale et personnelle, tant il a eu l'occasion d'observer les comportements des avocats, des juges, des huissiers, des artistes maudits, des rebus de la société.... Honoré Daumier n'eut pas la célébrité financière nécessaire pour vivre de son œuvre, néanmoins l'histoire de l'art et le marché le considèrent comme l'un des plus grands dessinateurs et peintres de son époque. Les trois spectateurs sont trois observateurs concentrés et happés par le spectacle qu'ils ont en face des yeux. Les témoins d'une audience ? Les participants à un débat politique ? Les spectateurs d'une pièce de théâtre ou d'opéra ? Nul ne sait. Quoiqu'il en soit, le jeu des ombres et des lumières sur les visages, la mise en scène théâtralisée, les expressions des trois spectateurs, l'équilibre parfait de la composition, témoignent du génie caricaturiste et de la confiance du trait de Daumier. On y retrouve ce don extraordinaire de donner vie à un personnage avec une inclinaison des sourcils ou quelques plis sur un front. Les touches de couleur aquarellées appuient l'impression de contraste. Quand la maîtrise technique se marie à l'intensité, l'intelligence et la justesse du message, on peut parler de génie.As a draughtsman, illustrator, engraver, painter, sculptor and, above all, caricaturist of politicians and more generally of his compatriots, Honoré Daumier changed our perception of political and social caricature, and took a humorous swipe at the monarchy in power. In 1831 and 1832, the publication of two lithographs stigmatising the vices of Louis-Philippe's monarchy, Gargantua and La Cour du roi Pétaud, led to him being imprisoned for six months.This experience marked a turning point in Daumier's life. From then on, he did few political caricatures, except for Le Ventre législatif, Rue Transnonain and the statuette of Ratapoil (1851-1852), based on the image of a regime that the artist despised. The law passed on the 29th of August 1835 against press freedom sounded the death knell for caricatures and political satire. The artist now had no choice but to depict contemporary society, its mores and attitudes, and made the most out of it. Charivari, the newspaper founded by Philipon in 1832, was his favourite playground and his best gallery.His desire to denounce and report on events in society stemmed from his family and personal experience, as he had the opportunity to observe the behaviour of lawyers, judges, bailiffs, cursed artists and the scum of society.... Honoré Daumier did not achieve the financial fame needed to make a living from his work, but art history and the market nevertheless consider him to be one of the greatest cartoonists and painters of his time. The Three spectators are three concentrated observers caught up in the spectacle before their eyes. Witnesses to a hearing? Taking part in a political debate? Watching a play or an opera? No one knows. In any case, the play of light and shadow on the faces, the theatrical setting, the expressions of the three spectators, the perfect balance of the composition, all testify of Daumier's genius as a caricaturist and of the confidence of his brushstrokes. It shows his extraordinary gift for bringing a character to life, with a tilt of the eyebrows or a few creases in the forehead. The different touches of watercolour add to the general contrast of light and shades. When technical mastery combines with the intensity, intelligence and accuracy of the message, we can call it genius.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a reduced rate of 5.5% on the hammer price and the prevailing rate on buyer's premium if the item remains in EU.TVA sur les objets importés à un taux réduit de 5.5% sur le prix d'adjudication et un taux en vigueur sur la prime d'achat dans le cas où l'objet reste dans l'Union Européenne.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Max Slevogt Herakles im Kampf mit der Hydra. Orig.-Tuschfederzeichnung, monogrammiert und datiert. Mit eigenhändiger Beschriftung in blauem Buntstift. 1900. Dünnes glattes Papier. Darstellungsgröße 16 : 20,5 cm. Blattgröße 24 : 22,5 cm. Prägnante Karikatur Slevogts zu Chinas Boxeraufstand, in der er den politischen Konflikt auf das mythologische Motiv von Herakles' Kampf mit der Hydra überträgt. 'Der chinesischen Hydra scheint ein neuer Kopf zu wachsen! Nach der Idee des Herrn Dr. Sinzheimer' (Bildunterschrift von Max Slevogt) Die kräftige und schwungvoll ausgeführte Darstellung zeigt den mit Keule und Schwert kämpfenden Herakles gegen das vielköpfige Ungeheuer Hydra sowie den Riesenkrebs, der Herakles in den Fuß beißt, und dessen Neffen Iolaos, der ihm mit einer Fackel zur Hilfe eilt. Bei diesem vermeintlich klassischen Motiv lassen sich bei näherem Hinsehen in den Köpfen der Hydra spezifische Gesichtszüge erkennen, die der Bildunterschrift entsprechend wohl die chinesischen Aufständigen verkörpern sollen. Siegfried Sinzheimer (1865-1917), ein Bruder von Hugo Sinzheimer, promovierte 1894 in Heidelberg und wurde der Hauptschriftleiter der 1896 gegründeten Zeitschrift Jugend , für die Max Slevogt Karikaturen zeichnete. Die vorliegende Zeichnung ist möglicherweise für die Zeitschrift entworfen worden, die den Boxeraufstand in mehreren Beiträgen thematisierte. Veröffentlicht wurde sie offenbar nie, jedoch erschien im Jahr 1900 im Jahrgang 5/Heft 32 der Jugend eine thematisch wie stilistisch ähnliche Slevogt-Karikatur mit dem Titel Das Drama von Peking . - ZUSTAND: auf Anfrage. - Heracles fights the Hydra of Lerna.

James Gillray,  British 1757-1815- The works of James Gillray from the original plates, with the addition of many subjects not before collected; a volume of etchings, published London, 1851, printed for Henry G. Bohn by Charles Whiting, York Street, Covent Garden, each titled, numbered (upper right corner) and inscribed in the plate, most bearing annotations in pencil; the binding part Morocco with marbled paper, with gilding on the page edges and the spine, the sheets various sizes, the volume 64.9 x 50.6 cm. overall. Provenance:  Private Collection, UK. Note:  The present volume contains approximately 580 plates by the renowned political satirist James Gillray, many of which were first published between c.1791-1811 by Hannah Humphrey, Georgian London's leading seller of caricature prints.  After Hannah Humphrey's son and successor George Humphrey died in 1835, Gillray's original plates were offered at auction, for the price of the copper from which they were fashioned. Henry Bohn purchased the plates and began publishing new impressions for the Victorian collectors' market, bound in attractive volumes like the one presented here. 

Richard Dighton,  British 1795-1880- The Squire of Hertford; pencil and watercolour on two sheets of paper, joined, signed and inscribed 'Richd Dighton [?] / 2 Sloane St. / Knightsbridge / London' verso, inscribed 'The "Squire" of Hertford.' (lower edge), bears 'Bristol Board' blindstamp (lower left), 30.7 x 21.8 cm. Provenance:  The Property of the Late Reverend John Watson. Note:  Dighton was the son of the caricaturist Robert Dighton (1752-1814), and his early works, in particular, reveal the influence of his father. These works are often seen as pre-cursors to the 'Vanity Fair' illustrations which were produced towards the end of the 19th century. Later in his career, however, Dighton's work signal a move away from caricature towards more formal and less exaggerated portraiture.  The present work is characteristic of Dighton's portraits of well-dressed and evidently wealthy figures, although the exact identity of this 'Squire of Hertford' is not clear.
