Man Ray (American, 1890-1976), Natural Painting, signed l.r., circa 1960, acrylic/masonite, 'Panneau Van Eyck 4F' label verso, 31 by 22cm, red painted frameProvenance: gifted by the artist to the current vendor's grandmother, Jacqueline Goddard, nee Barsotti (1911-2003) the free-spirited model to Man Ray.Note: Andrew Strauss and Timothy Baum of the Man Ray Expertise Committee have confirmed the authenticity of this work under reference 00448-P-2024 and that this work will be included in the Catalogue of Paintings of Man Ray, currently in preparation. Lot Essay: The surrealist protagonist Man Ray began a new series of experimental paintings, from the 1950s, which involved squeezing paint directly from the tube onto the visual surface, in a random manner, similar in this first instance to his contemporaries in New York such as Jackson Pollock. However, after the application of the paint, another board surface would be applied and removed to create a stippled effect. The paintings known as his Natural Paintings, followed the surrealist principles of painting without the constraints of calculation or self consciousness, differing from the paintings of Oscar Dominguez in 1936 and Max Ernst in the 1940s, which used the same technique, but in a calculated and representative manner. In his autobiography Man Ray expressed: “By spreading the colors according to the impulse of the moment, I abandoned brushes and palette knives, and applied pressure with other surfaces, withdrawing them to produce a variation of the Rorschach test. The results were astonishing, with details that could have been obtained only through long and meticulous labor by hand.” He continued to experiment with these paintings right through to 1971 and the works often appear in brightly painted frames such as this one.

Jan Gossaert, gen. Mabuse (Schule) 1478 Maubeuge, Frankreich - 1532 Antwerpen, Belgien Bis heute ist nur wenig über das Frühwerk des niederländischen Malers Jan Gossaert (1478-1532) bekannt. Laut einem seiner Biografen Karel van Mander (1548-1606) stammt der Maler aus der kleinen Stadt Mabuse aus der Region Henegouwen. Bei seiner Einschreibung in der Gilde des heiligen Lucas in Antwerpen im Jahre 1503 gab sich der Künstler den Namen ''Mabuse'' - nach seiner Heimatstadt. Einer der berühmten Zeitgenossen des Malers Jan Mabuse war Lucas van Leyden (1494-1533), der im Vergleich zu Mabuse einen anderen Malstil besaß. Beeinflusst wurde Mabuse durch den großen, in Tournai und Brüssel tätigen Meister Rogier van der Weyden (1400-1464). Dies lässt sich vor allem durch seine Kompositionen und architektonischen Hintergründe in seinem Oeuvre erkennen. Das vorliegende Werk von Jan Gossaert (Mabuse) präsentiert ein sakrales Motiv: die Gottesmutter Maria und das Jesuskind, welches in der Zeit Renaissance unzählig von vielen Malern dargestellt wurde, auch im flämischen Kreis. Die Bildszene verweist zugleich auf ''Maria lactans'' - die stillende Gottesmutter Maria. Der Jesusknabe hält den sogenannten Reichsapfel, der die Herrschaft Christi über die Welt symbolisiert. Eben jenes Gemälde zeigt eine für flämische Maler etwas unkonventionelle Darstellungsweise. Der Maler stellt sein technisches Können allen voran durch die Kleidung Marias unter Beweis; sowohl die Textur und die prunkvollen Verzierungen, als auch das Schattenspiel des aufwendig inszenierten Faltenwurfes präsentieren seine meisterliche Ausarbeitung. Darüber hinaus dient ebenfalls die Architektur im Hintergrund diesem Zwecke. Zudem verweist er durch die malerische Umsetzung von Statuen zudem auf den Paragone Wettstreit und setzt sich selbst zum Ziel, die Malerei zum Gewinner zu küren. Die pompösen Verzierungen und die feinen Haare der Gottesmutter und dem Jesuskind bekräftigen die prächtige Wirkung der Bildszene. Dies lässt leicht an den Stil der italienischen Renaissance erinnern. Mabuse änderte offensichtlich den Lauf der flämischen Kunst, in dem traditionsreiche Maler wie Jan van Eyck hinter sich ließ und neue Wege betritt. Die gesamte Bildszene präsentiert zweifelslos aufgrund der technischen Ausführung eine anregende Darstellung Maria lactans. Dieses Werk von der Schule Jan Grossaert, alias Mabuse, das in Bezug auf die technische Ausarbeitung seines Gleichen sucht, wurde mit Öl auf einer massiven Holzplatte ausgearbeitet, aufgrund der minimalen Farbabplatzung fachgerecht restauriert und gerahmt. Die Rahmenspannung hat altersbedingt etwas nachgelassen. R. 47,5 x 43,5 cm, Bildmaße 30,5 x 26,5 cm. Öl auf Holzplatte, restauriert. R. 47,5 x 43,5 cm, Bildmaße 30,5 x 26,5 cm.

Hendrik Hondius (1573-1650) - Portrait of Hubert van Eyck Portrait of Hubert van Eyck, sitting at a table turned to the left, facing left; wearing a fur hat, and a fur-trimmed cloak; a painter's palette on the wall behind him, three viewers on top. A portrait from the series Pictorum Aliquot Celebrium Praecipuae Germaniae Inferioris Effigies made and published by the Flemish born engraver Hendrik Hondius who moved to The Netherlands and established his own publishing business.

Full title: A bronze 'lavabo' water bowl with women's heads on the handles, Flanders, 1st half 15th C.Description:L.: 33 cm - H.: 17 cm Provenance:- An old Dutch private collection. Our water bowl has an almost convex shape and a high outstanding collar. The handle attachments are female busts. The ends of the spouts are animal heads, obviously worn from frequent use. The water bowl belongs to the same type as the one that appears in a niche on the outer panels of 'The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb' by Hubert and Jan van Eyck, finished around 1432. (see added images) An interesting detail is that this water bowl has a conical lid. Another nearly identical water bowl can be seen on the central panel of the Merode altarpiece, made by Robert Campin between 1427 and 1432 and depicting the 'Annunciation'. (see added images) Like on the Ghent altarpiece, the water bowl hangs in a mural niche. The big difference is that the ends of the spouts are still fairly unused, and likely more pronounced than they originally were on our present examples.Condition reports:Condition reports (unless otherwise specified above):Please contact us on info@rm-auctions.com to request a condition report.

Französischer MeisterMariä Verkündigungum 1500Öl auf Holz; gerahmt67 x 48 cm (rundbogiger Abschluss)ehemals Sammlung Graf Limburg-Stirum (laut rückseitigem Etikett);Galleria Gilberto Zabert, Turin, 1998;seit 2010 italienische Privatsammlung Didier Bodart, in: Turin, Galleria Gilberto Zabert. Dipinti e sculture dal XIV al XIX secolo, 1998 (als Meister von Saint-Jean-De-Luz, tätig um 1475/80)Die reizvolle Tafel besticht durch das gekonnte Spiel mit den drei klassischen Kunstgattungen – Malerei, Architektur und Bildhauerei verschmelzen auf kleinster Fläche. So wird die Verkündigungsszene in eine raumschaffende Scheinarchitektur verortet: Gabriel trägt ein goldbesticktes Messgewand und kniet vor der Jungfrau, welche demütig der Verkündigung, dargestellt durch eine Schriftrolle, lauscht: "Ave Maria, gratia plena; Dominus tecum". Die klare Architektur öffnet den Bildraum perspektivisch und demonstriert das Bestreben einer überzeugenden Tiefenwirkung. Die dekorativen Architekturelemente, das mit Phantasietieren bevölkerte Fries und die reliefierte Lünette greifen italienisch inspirierte Motive auf, welche bereits im 15. Jahrhundert auch ihre Verbreitung nördlich der Alpen fanden. Besonders durch die in Grisaille ausgeführten Steinelemente werden Malerei und die dreidimensionalen Künste verbunden. Die von Putten getragenen Wappenschilder mit erkennbaren Bourbonen-Lilien verweisen auch auf den Ursprung der Tafel im franko-flämischen Kunstraum, in welchem gerade die Kunst der Grisaille-Malerei seit der 1. Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts kultiviert wurde. Beispiele hierfür finden sich sowohl bereits bei Robert Campin (1375-1444) oder Jan van Eyck (1390-1441) als auch später beim Meister von Moulins (Außentafel des Altars der Kathedrale Notre-Dame, Moulins (Auvergne), um 1497) oder dem Meister von Saint Jean de Luze (Porträts von Hugues de Rabutin und seiner Ehefrau Jeanne de Montaigu, um 1470). Der damalige künstlerische Austausch war rege und die Grenzen der Zuordnung zwischen Nordfrankreich, Burgund und Flandern fließend.
Francisco Martinez (Mexico, 1687 - 1758)"The Good Shepherd as the Mystical Lamb"Oil on canvas.133 x 157 cm.A beautiful and sensitive depiction of the Good Shepherd, who gazes upon his flock questioningly, full of tenderness and mercy, opening his chest as a clear symbol of altruism leading to the complete sacrifice of himself. "I shed my blood for you, and whoever drinks from it shall never die."Undoubtedly, the painting shows a more humanised and Christian vision typical of colonial painting when compared with the famous Ghent Altarpiece "The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb" by the Van Eyck brothers, in which the Lamb of God, on an altar, with blood flowing from its chest, fills a chalice symbolising Christ and His sacrifice on the Cross, his giving of himself in the Eucharist.Both in the Ghent painting and in this one, there is a dove representing the Holy Spirit and, around it, several angels in adoration.Above the Good Shepherd, the inscription reads: "EGO SVM PASTOR BONVS ..." (I am the Good Shepherd).The Mexican painter Francisco Martínez, active between 1717 and 1758, was a New Spanish artist who still lacks a comprehensive monograph. However, Professor Luisa Elena Alcalá, a specialist in Ibero-American art of the Viceroyalty period, raises various relevant questions about the artist in her study "La obra del pintor novohispano Francisco Martínez" (1999). In addition to being a painter, as was common in the era, Martínez was a "gilder, reredos assembler, and decorator for short-lived festivals, enjoying great prestige in several of these fields," Alcalá explains. "Among his most outstanding works are the gilding of the main altarpiece of the Mexico Cathedral (1743), the erection of the funerary tomb of Felipe V in Guatemala (1747), and the subsequent creation of ephemeral architecture for the swearing-in of Fernando VI in Mexico (1747)." Also noteworthy is the "Nun’s Badge with the Annunciation and Saints" (circa 1750), signed "Martínez Sancti Officii Notarius Fecit," which is in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) (Inv. M.2015.142.1).His professional prestige, as noted by Alcalá, "can also be inferred from the numerous occasions when he provided expert opinions on miraculous images, enquiries into manufacturing processes and fairly common supernatural transformations in the religious sphere of the Viceroyalty."The painter, who also had a relationship with José de Ibarra, an "inescapable reference for understanding the figure of Francisco Martínez," with whom he coincided "on several commissions and competitions," carried out numerous commissions for the Jesuits. In fact, Alcalá asserts that "the 18th century was the golden age of the Jesuits in New Spain, when the profits from estates and mills allowed for massive reconstruction of their colleges and churches, and Martínez knew how to meet the artistic needs of the Society." Lastly, it should be mentioned that he was appointed notary of the Holy Tribunal, a prestigious title that, as pointed out by Ilona Katzew in her description of the aforementioned nun's shield for LACMA, "indicates his high social position."Reference bibliography:- Alcalá, Luisa Elena.

Attributed to Jan Gossart "Mabuse" (Maubeuge, circa 1478 - Antwerp, 1532)"Virgin and Child (Portrait of Anna van Bergen with her son Hendrik)"Oil on panel. 47.5 x 36 cm.Our hypothesis regarding this painting, of which there are a few copies by Gossart's contemporaries and followers, is that it is the original by Mabuse which belonged to the Marqués de Leganés, registered in the inventory of his collection as number 379 ("Another image of Our Lady with the Child in her arms, holding a handheld rosary by Mabuse, measuring just under half a yard in number three hundred and seventy-nine, valued at twelve hundred Reales"). It was documented for the last time in 1655 and not located since then. The information that supports our hypothesis can be found in the doctoral thesis "El Marqués de Leganés y las Artes" by José Juan Pérez Preciado: "The motif of the rosary in the hands of the Virgin was frequently repeated among Flemish artists of the 15th century. Gossaert used it in a devotional work of which several copies are known. According to Karel van Mander, it was a painting created during Gossaert's service at the court of Adolf de Bourgogne, Marquess of Vere and Teerveuren. The artist used portraits of the nobleman's wife and son. According to Friedländer, the main painting under this iconography that the author created is that of the Metropolitan Museum in New York (inv. 17.190.17 T. 45 x 34). Although others are also preserved in the Royal Museum of Brussels (T. 43.7 x 31; inv. 3377), or in the Dresden Gallery. The fate of the painting is unknown, as it had already left the collection in 1711, when it was claimed by the Count of Altamira, the legal heir to the entire collection. It has not been possible to link any known copy to the work owned by Leganés, although the presence of a copy in the K. Kocherthaler collection in Madrid at the beginning of the 20th century is significant, as Friedländer himself attests."As indicated by the typewritten label on the back, with data from the former owner, it states that it was acquired precisely from the Kuno Kocherthaler collection in Madrid. Therefore, our painting is the one mentioned earlier in the thesis by José Juan Pérez Preciado, which was in Madrid at the beginning of the 20th century and could well be the one belonging to the Marqués de Leganés that has not been located to date.The MET in New York, as mentioned by Preciado, has a Virgin and Child similar to this one in its collections a, painted by a follower of Gossart, with collection number: 17.190.17.The Metropolitan, in its description of the work dating from after 1522, suggests that it may be "a replica of the lost original portrait by Gossart of the noble Anna van Bergen posing with her son Hendrik as the Virgin and Child." The note continues, stating that "portraits in which secular people adopt the appearance of sacred figures may seem provocative to modern sensibilities, but they capture the aspirations of their subjects to emulate the ideals of virtue and piety."As we read in the Museo del Prado's entry on Jan Gossaert, "The signed works that are preserved by Jan Gossaert, known as Mabuse, allude to his origin in Maubeuge, in Hainaut - currently in northern France. Although there is no news of where he was trained, it is possible that he received his education in Bruges, in the workshop of Gérard David (doc. 1484-1523), before 1503 when he enrolled in the Guild of Antwerp. In October 1508, he accompanied Philip of Burgundy to Rome, and during his stay in this city, Gossaert drew ancient statues and architectural monuments for him, becoming the first Flemish painter to directly experience Italian art. Upon returning to Flanders, he introduced classical models into his works, which abound in themes from Antiquity and nudes, such as those he painted in 1516 for Philip of Burgundy in the decoration of the castle of Suytburg in Zeeland, in collaboration with Jacopo de Barbari (ca. 1445-ca. 1515). Simultaneously, Gossaert became interested in 15th-century Flemish painting and copied some artworks, including those of Jan van Eyck (doc. 1422-1441), as he did in this panel at the Prado. His debt to tradition is also evident in his interest in translating the qualities of things, an interest that he maintained even in paintings and drawings of religious or mythological subjects in which classical forms are embodied in human types originating from Flanders (González Mozo, A .: El trazo oculto. Dibujos subyacentes en pinturas de los siglos XV y XVI, Museo Nacional del Prado, 2006, pp. 102-113)."Provenance:Former Kuno Kocherthaler Collection, Madrid.

Altniederländische Schule, Meister von Ghent, um 1480DIE HEILIGE KATHARINA VON ALEXANDRIENÖl und Goldauflage auf Holz. Parkettiert.40,5 x 29,8 cm.In teils bemaltem und vergoldetem Rahmen.Das Gemälde zeigt die stehende Heilige Katharina, der christlichen Überlieferung nach, im 4. Jahrhundert die Königstochter von König Costus von Alexandrien und dessen Frau Sabinella, die die heidnischen Praktiken Kaisers Maxentius anprangerte und schließlich wegen Ihres christlichen Glaubens von ihm zum Tode durch das Stachelrad verurteilt wurde. Sie steht triumphierend über dem Körper des liegenden Kaisers, das zerbrochene Rad neben ihr, in bergiger Landschaft und trägt ein prachtvolles, reich mit Gold besticktes langes Gewand, das mit Hermelin besetzt und mit Perlen (als Symbol der Reinheit) verziert ist. Sie trägt eine Turbankrone und hat einen großen goldenen Nimbus um ihr Haupt. Zu den Attributen ihres Martyriums gehören rechtsseitig das große Rad mit Stacheln und ein großes Schwert in ihrer rechten Hand, mit dem sie enthauptet wurde, nachdem das Rad auf ihr göttliches Gebet hin, zerstört worden war. In ihrer linken Hand hält sie ein aufgeschlagenes Buch, ihr Attribut als Schutzpatronin der Gelehrten und Studenten. Im Hintergrund links kniet Katharina vor ihrem Henker, der gerade das Schwert zur Enthauptung schwingt. Auf der Bergspitze tragen zwei Engel ihren Körper weg, um ihn zu begraben. Für einen Aufenthalt des Künstlers in Italien spricht die Vielzahl der Zypressen im Hintergrund. Die scharfen Formen dieser Bäume erinnern an die Stacheln ihres zerbrochenen Rades und betonen die Vertikalität der wichtigsten Kompositionselemente des Gemäldes: Ihr langgestreckter Körper, das Zepter des Maxentius, die Pfosten des Rades und die Landschaft selbst.Provenienz:Lacombe, Paris, bis 1909, dann verkauft an folgende Gesellschaften.Kleinberger, New York und Paris, 1909-1910, als Meister der Legende von St. Lucia, von dem er von George D.

Parquetted.40.5 x 29.8 cm.In partially painted and gilded frame.The painting depicts the standing Saint Catherine, who according to Christian tradition, lived in the 4th century and was the daughter of King Costus of Alexandria and his wife Sabinella. Catherine denounced the pagan practices of Emperor Maxentius and was then condemned by him to death by a spiked wheel for her Christian faith.She stands triumphantly over the body of the reclining emperor, the broken wheel beside her, in mountainous scenery, wearing a magnificent long robe richly embroidered with gold, trimmed in ermine and decorated with pearls, as a symbol of purity. She is wearing a turban crown and has a large golden nimbus on her head. Among the attributes of her martyrdom are the large spiked wheel on the right and a large sword in her right hand, with which she was beheaded after the wheel was destroyed in response to her divine prayer. In her left hand she holds an open book, her attribute as the patron saint of scholars and students. In the background on the left, Catherine kneels before her executioner, who is swinging the sword for her beheading. On the hilltop, two angels carry her body away to bury it. The multitude of cypresses in the background speaks for a possible stay of the artist in Italy. The sharp shapes of these trees evoke the spikes of her broken wheel and emphasize the verticality of the main compositional elements of the painting: Catherine’s elongated body, Maxentius’s sceptre, the wheel´s posts and the landscape itself.
