Eugen Bracht: The Isola di Bergeggi
Est: €20,000 - €40,000
BRACHT, EUGEN 1842 Morges - 1921 Darmstadt Title: The Isola di Bergeggi. Date: Ca. 1921. Technique: Oil on canvas. Measurement: 98 x 160.5cm. Notation: Signed lower left (subsequently?): "Eugen Bracht". Frame: Framed. Verso handwritten illegible notes on the stretcher as well as several estate stamps of Eugen Bracht on the canvas and stretcher. Literature: M. Großkinsky: Eugen Bracht (1842-1921), Darmstadt 1992, p. 256. Provenance: Private ownership, Italy. We are grateful to Manfred Großkinsky, Karlsruhe, who confirmed the authenticity of the work on the basis of a high-resolution digital photograph and suggested the dating. The small Isola di Bergeggi lies in the Ligurian Sea not far from the coast, off the Riviera di Ponente. Eugen Bracht discovered it as a painterly motif during a study trip in 1892. The artist was repeatedly tempted to paint the lonely rock formation surrounded by sea and sky and to this day seven versions are known under the titles 'Island in the Mediterranean', 'Isola di Bergeggi' or 'The Blue Island'. The present version can be categorised as a late work by the artist and displays strong Impressionist traits. The extreme horizontal format is further emphasised by the high horizon line. In contrast to earlier versions of this motif, the island barely rises above this horizon line, suggesting an elevated location. In the strong light of the southern sun, the rocks contrast light grey and beige against the dark surface of the water. However, there is hardly any shadow play. The haptics of the surfaces of the rocks and water were important to Eugen Bracht in earlier versions of the motif; here he has almost completely abandoned them in favour of the pure impression of colour. Eugen Bracht occupies a special position within German landscape painting in the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. As a highly successful academy professor in Berlin and Dresden, he remained loyal to more conservative, naturalistic trends for a long time, with form dominating over colour. At the end of the 1890s, his paintings became increasingly impressionistic. In his late work, Bracht's palette was reduced again and colour became the predominant element. 'The Blue Island' is an example of this development and concentration in the artist's late work. Manfred Großkinsky dates the present work to 1921.

Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt 1992, Kat.-Nr. 86 (dort Oelgemälde „Spiegelung“ von 1916). - Signiert und datiert. 65 x 80 cm. Mit leichten Krakelüren, vereinzelten Retuschen und restaurierten und hinterlegten Beschädigungen. 1916 war einschneidendes Jahr im Leben Eugen Brachts. Sein Sohn fiel im I. Weltkrieg und die Kommission der Münchner Jahresausstellung wies erstmalig eines seiner Gemälde zurück. Dies lag daran, daß der Künstler in seinem seinem Spätwerk an den Prinzipien des Naturalismus und des Impressionismus festhielt. M. Großkinsky schreibt zu dem oben genannten Werk aus der Darmstädter Ausstellung, welches ein ähnliches Motiv zeigt: „Bracht führt das Gemälde in seinem Registerbuch unter Werkeintragungen auf, die sich mit einer akademischen Studienfahrt nach Nischwitz im Oktober und November 1916 in Verbindung bringen lassen. Die Landschaft dieser Gegend bot reichlich Gelegenheit, die Bildelemente Baum als majestätisch bizarre Form und Wasser als atmosphärische Stimmungsträger bzw. als Medium für Lichtreflexe miteinander zu kombinieren.“ (a.o.O., S. 352).

Eugen Bracht (1842-1921): Animated dune view, oil on canvas, Karlsruhe, dated 1878 Work: 167 x 105 cm Frame: 182,5 x 119 cm In 1850, when Eugen Bracht was eight, his family moved to Darmstadt, a town just south of Frankfurt in Germany from his birthplace of Morges which was outside of Geneva. By the age of 17 Bracht had made the decision that his profession should be in the arts, and he entered the School of Art in Carlsruhe in 1859. From 1861 to 1864 he perfected his skills in Dusseldorf under the tutelage of Hans Fredrik Gude and then returned to Carlsruhe in 1875. By 1883 Bracht was skilled enough in his trade to replace Christian Wilberg as a professor at the Hochschule in Berlin. The following year Bracht was nominated as a member of the Academy of Arts in Berlin. He exhibited frequently in Berlin and Munich and won a medal in Berlin in 1881 and one in Munich in 1883. In 1909 Bracht exhibited a painting at the Exposition in Berlin ( link).

Eugen Bracht: Ruine einer Wallfahrtskapelle bei Varigotti, Riviera di Ponente
Est: €5,000 - €8,000
BRACHT, EUGEN 1842 Morges - 1921 Darmstadt Title: "Ruine einer Wallfahrtskapelle bei Varigotti, Riviera di Ponente". Date: 1892. Technique: Oil on card. Measurement: 54,5 x 42cm. Notation: Subsequently (?) signed lower left: "Eugen Bracht". Frame: Framed. Verso: Inscribed on the card by the artist's hand. Provenance: Private ownership, Germany for at least 3 generations. We are grateful to Manfred Großkinsky, Karlsruhe, for confirming the attribution on the basis of a high-resolution digital photograph and for the kind support. Two very different works of the landscape painter Eugen Bracht are for auction under the lot numbers 1152 and 1153 that indicate in their own way the artist's personal characteristic painting style and its development. With the stations in Karlsruhe, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Dresden and eventually Darmstadt, Bracht shows the advancing of landscape painting from the realist view to the Impressionism. For the turn to this liberal style Eugen Bracht was a significant driving force during his years in Berlin from 1882 on - altough he was still closely connected to his colleagues at the Preußische Akademie and he did not join the Berliner Secession in 1892. To free himself from the firm structure, however, he finally left the capital's art scene after the turn of the century and took over a master studio at the the Dresden Kusntakademie. With his departure from his teaching activities he was drawn to the 'Mathildenhöhe' in Darmstadt, where he took over house of the painter Hans Christiansen in the artists' colony there. While his work with the chapel at the Riviera was created as an oil study in the course of one of his frequent excursions with students on site and thereby reflects the spontaneity and power of plein-air painting, the sächsische Landschaft that was created later conveys a distinctly different impression. From bird's-eye view the painter is looking widely into the landscape of the trough and portrays it and the fortified walls of Rochlitz Castle. This painting that was created at the atelier in his late years refers to a previous work and is composed accordingly and came into existence less freely - however, it still stands with its Impressionist choice of colours in the tradition of his earlier works.

Notation: Signed and dated lower left: "Eugen Bracht 1918". Frame: Framed. Verso: On the canvas inscribed and numbered by the artist's hand: 1434. Provenance: Private ownership, Austria. We are grateful to Manfred Großkinsky, Karlsruhe, for confirming the attribution on the basis of a high-resolution digital photograph and his kind support. Großkinsky refers to another version of the view from the Mulde valley, painted in 1906, that is stored in Freiberg nowadays. Two very different works of the landscape painter Eugen Bracht are for auction under the lots numbers 1152 and 1153 that, in their own way, hint at the artist's very own characteristic style of painting and its development. With his stations in Karlsruhe, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Dresden and finally Darmstadt, Bracht shows the progression of landscape painting from the realist stance to Impressionism. For turning to this free style, Eugen Bracht is a driving motor during his Berlin years from 1882 on - although he still was closely connected to his colleagues from the Preußische Akademie and he did not join the Berliner Secession that had been founded in 1892. For freeing himself from the strict structures, however, he left the art scene of the capital after the turn of the century and took over a master studio at the Kunstakademie in Dresden. With his departure from teaching, he was drawn to the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, where he took over at the house of the painter Hans Christiansen at the artist's colony there. While his work with the chapel at the Riviera as an oil study came into being in the course of his frequent excursions with students on-site and thereby reflects the spontaneity and vigour of plein-air painting, the Saxon landscape that was created later conveys a distinctly different impression. From bird's-eye-view the painter is looking widely into the landscape of the Mulde and portrays it and the fortified walls of Rochlitz Castle. This painting that was created in his atelier during his late years refers to an earlier work is composed accordingly and created less freely - yet, it still stands, with his Impressionist colouring, in the tradition of his earlier works.

Est: €1,800 - €2,400
"Felsen im Sand am Meer" Öl auf Leinwand ganzflächig auf Karton kaschiert. Um 1880. 52,4 x 83 cm. Unten rechts mit Pinsel in Braun signiert "Eugen Bracht" sowie verso nochmals signiert und betitelt. Provenienz: Privatsammlung Berlin Literatur: Kunstmuseum Ahrenshoop (Hrsg.): Die Sammlung, Ahrenshoop 2021, Abb. S. 93 Das Bild dürfte in den ersten Jahren nach Brachts Rückkehr zur Malerei entstanden sein. Unzufrieden mit seiner Kunst verließ der 22-jährige kurzerhand die Düsseldorfer Akademie, wo er unter dem Norweger Hans Fredrik Gude und dessen einflussreichem Tutor Oswald Achenbach seit 1861 für drei Jahre studiert hatte. Zuvor hatte ihn 1859 Johann Wilhelm Schirmer an die Karlsruher Akademie geholt, von dem er sich schon 1861 verabschiedete. Im Sommer 1860 war er mit den nahezu gleichaltrigen Freunden Emil Lugo und Hans Thoma im Schwarzwald unterwegs. Zwölf Jahre lang hatte er der Kunst den Rücken gekehrt, war nach Belgien gegangen, dann nach Berlin, als Händler und Unternehmer, war durch die Umstände gescheitert, aber er war noch jung. Er hatte daneben privat andere Interessen als Nebenwege verfolgt, die Photographie und die Paläontologie. Noch war er mit 34 nicht zu alt. Er war gereift, die Welt lag vor ihm. Sein Blick auf die Dinge war sachlicher geworden, wachsam und entschieden. Als Maler wusste er nun, was er konnte und was er wollte – nicht an einem "Bild festhalten", oder verzweifeln, nichts hineinlegen wollen, was nicht vor ihm lag. So ist auch dieses Bild. Er sieht den warmen Sand, hell die Sonne reflektierend, die Hitze speichernden Felsen. Das tiefblaue Meer. Den in der Ferne leicht dunstigen, hellblauen Himmel. Und er freut sich die tanzenden Akzente der Felsen vor ihm zu sehen, die Freiheit ihres Rhythmus, die dem Bild Raum und Halt geben, ohne Anstrengung eines an etwas festhaltenden Willens. Reines, befreites Sehen. Man könnte das Bild umgekehrt aufhängen und die kleinen Felsen des Vordergrundes wären wie dunkle Wolken im Lichte einer untergehenden Sonne. Ja, er wollte auch die Welt sehen und ist dann viel gereist, in die Alpen, ans Mittelmeer, in den Orient. Ein Bild, das auf ähnliche, jedoch sparsamere Weise einen Raum erschließt, unter einem anderen Himmel, unter dem Wind die Wellen antreibt und die wenigen Gräser sich biegen, trägt das Datum 1877 und Bracht hat es mit Göhren (auf Rügen) bezeichnet. Zu seiner Zeit machte er mit seinen Dünenbildern Furore. Zeit seines Lebens war Bracht ein erfolgreicher Maler, offen gegenüber allem neuen in der Kunst. Diese Haltung kostete ihm die Aussicht, bei der Neubesetzung der Leitung der Preußischen Akademie zum Zuge zu kommen. So übernahm er die seit der Romantik berühmte Klasse für Landschaftsmalerei in Dresden.

Eugen Bracht: "Hochmoor am Wittebeke bei Bispingen"
Est: €15,000 - €25,000
BRACHT, EUGEN 1842 Morges - 1921 Darmstadt Title: "Hochmoor am Wittebeke bei Bispingen". Technique: Oil on canvas. Measurement: 86 x 138cm. Notation: Signed and dated lower right: Eugen Bracht 1906. Frame: Framed. Verso: Inscribed and numbered on the stretcher (637). Provenance: Private ownership, Germany. A magical glow emanates from the heather-covered mountain cone that rises gently yet powerfully above the high moor. Rich in contrast, it stands out from its surroundings between the dusky, faint blue firmament and the light brown reeds. A sand dune in front of it reinforces this effect. Neither a path leads there, nor does one lead away from this place. Sublime silence lies over everything, the scenery seems motionless and one is inclined to hold one's breath - only in the foreground does the water draw circles, their origin uncertain. Above it, like small sparkling gems, sit the blossoms of the reed grass on narrow spars. Eugen Bracht, one of the most important German landscape painters of his time, creates a setting of unearthly beauty here. Over a period of almost six decades, the artist, who first joined the Düsseldorf Malkasten and later became close to Impressionism in the Berlin art scene, devoted himself almost exclusively to the many facets of nature. From the mid-1870s onwards, he was preoccupied with the landscape type of the heath. From then on, this formed an important core of his work and testified to a lasting fascination of both the artist and his audience for the unique area around Lüneburg. The high moorland near Bispingen - a mysterious place of seemingly endless expanses of peat and since time immemorial the spectre of man - fuelled Bracht's interest in the mystical dimensions of life. In the twilight zone between water and land, between life and death, the moor conveys a unique connection between nature and the human imagination. Stylistically, Bracht's symbolically charged, atmospherically permeated landscape in the present painting marks a tense transition from naturalistic to French Impressionist painting. We thank Manfred Großkinsky, Karlsruhe, who confirmed the attribution with a high-resolution digital high-resolution digital photograph, for his kind support. Großkinsky refers to a later and somewhat smaller version of the painting from 1910, which is now kept in the Städtische Kunstsammlung Darmstadt. From Bracht's records it appears that the large-format painting offered here remained in the artist's wider family and was signed by "Wittebeke b. Bispingen mit röhrendem Hirsch".

Eugen Bracht, Landscape with Dreieichenhain Castle
Est: €40,000 - €50,000
Signed and dated lower left: Eugen Bracht 1877 In 1859, at the age of seventeen, Eugen Bracht drew the ruins of Dreieichenhain Castle near his home town of Darmstadt. The inked pencil drawing came from his estate to the Kupferstichkabinett of the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe ( inv. no. VIII 1150-20, fig. 1). The subject was close to the artist's heart: in 1870 the view served him as a model for a landscape-format painting as a gift for his later wife (cf. Manfred Großkinsky: Eugen Bracht, Darmstadt 1992, p. 80, fig. 49). At that time Bracht worked as a wool merchant in Berlin. After his first training in Karlsruhe from 1859 to 1861 with Johann Wilhelm Schirmer he had turned away from painting to earn his living as a merchant. Dissatisfied with this, he dissolved his Berlin business in 1875 and resumed his studies at the Karlsruhe art school. In 1877 he began a successful freelance career (first in Karlsruhe, from 1882 in Berlin); the present painting was created in the same year. In dramatic vertical format, Dreieichenhain Castle once again becomes the central subject of the picture. The ruins of the tower are enthroned on a rocky base; the ascent leading diagonally into the picture from the right crosses the diagonal of the rocky hill and castle in the centre of the picture. The earth tones contrast with the abyss of the cool, misty lowlands behind. This is where the view leads through the enormous, centrally placed archway into the depths of the picture. Its dimensions are made clear by the addition of five guards in Baroque-style historical costumes. In this picture, with which he started his successful career as an artist, Bracht effectively combines contemporary landscape painting based on nature studies with a compositionally sovereign pictorial dynamic on the basis of the biographically influenced romantic subject. We would like to thank Dr Manfred Großkinsky and Dr Rudolf Theilmann (both Karlsruhe) for verbally confirming Eugen Bracht's autograph.

Sautrifft
Est: €20,000 - €25,000
BRACHT, EUGEN 1842 Morges - 1921 Darmstadt Title: "Sautrifft". Heath landscape with mighty oak tree under dark thunderclouds. Technique: Oil on canvas. Measurement: 93 x 161cm. Notation: Signed lower left: Eugen Bracht. Frame/Pedestal: Framed. Literature: cf.: M. Osborn: Eugen Bracht, Bielefeld/Leipzig 1909, p. 92 mit ill. Provenance: Private ownership, Argentina. The landscape painter Eugen Bracht was born in Morges, Switzerland, in 1842 and grew up in Darmstadt. He received painting and drawing lessons at an early age and studied in Karlsruhe and Dusseldorf. Appointed professor of landscape painting at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin in 1883, Bracht followed the call to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden in 1902. Throughout his life, he remained connected to his hometown of Darmstadt in his landscape motifs. An honorary membership in the "Freie Vereinigung Darmstädter Künstler" prompted Bracht to participate in their exhibitions, in which he always showed native motifs. So also the present painting, which is based on a study from the Kranichsteiner Park in Darmstadt. The turn to open-air painting and the Impressionist influences on Bracht's oeuvre became increasingly clear during his time in Dresden and ultimately led to his artistic breakthrough. The art historian Manfred Großkinsky writes us about this painting that Eugen Bracht painted the subject - spread over almost twenty years - in four different versions. This heath landscape with the mighty oak trees is known through the illustration of the first and largest version in the old monograph by Max Osborn (1909); the one here dates to 1903. Großkinsky identifies the present painting as the version sold to South America. Bracht's brother Albrecht was living in Buenos Aires at the time and acted as a contact for the collectors there. In March 1904, the large canvas was sold to a private collector there; after that, the trace was lost until it was now brought to us from a private Argentine estate. We thank Manfred Großkinsky, Karlsruhe, who confirmed the attribution on the basis of a high-resolution digital photograph, for his kind support. Explanations to the Catalogue

EUGEN BRACHT Morges 1842 - 1921 Darmstadt „Stute und Fohlen“. Oel auf Leinwand 1891. Vgl. Eugen Bracht (1842-1921). Landschaftsmaler im wilhelminischen Kaiserreich. Ausst.-Kat. Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt 1992, Nr. 33ff, jeweils mit Farbabb. - Signiert, datiert „26.4. 91.“ und ortsbezeichnet „Tell Azazah“ (?) sowie bezeichnet. Auf dem Spannrahmen signiert, datiert, ortsbezeichnet „Syrien“ und mit der Werknummer „1117“ bezeichnet sowie mit Sammlerbezeichnungen. 42 x 55,5 cm. Mit wenigen winzigen Farbabsplitterungen. 1891 brach Bracht zusammen mit J. Freiherr von Eckenstein und dem Tiermaler R. Friese zu seiner zweiten Orientreise auf, die 5 Monate dauern sollte. Sie führte ihn mit dem Schiff nach Port Said und von dort über Jerusalem und das Tote Meer in das südliche Palästina. Über mehrere Etappen erreichte die Reisegruppe schließlich am 25.4.1891 die Wüste Negev. Unter den oben angeführten Gemälden stechen besonders die um den 9. 4. 1891 entstandene Arbeit „Antike Quellfassung, Syrien“ (Kat.-Nr. 35; Werknummer 1118) sowie das Gemälde „Tränkung der Herden am Brunnen von Bir Seba“ (Kat.-Nr. 36; Werknummer 1122) hervor, die Motive des uns vorliegenden Gemäldes aufnehmen. Bracht legte bei dieser Reise nicht wie bei seinem ersten Orientaufenthalt 1880/81 besonderes Augenmerk auf die exotischen Sujets sondern auf eine Hinwendung zu einer ausgeprägten und vom Eigenwert des Kolorits ausgehenden Farbbehandlung. Bracht malte vor Allem weite Sand- als auch Gesteinslandschaften, oft in changierenden Braun- und Ockertönen und akzentuierte sie durch das Einfügen von Menschen oder Tieren: „Das grelle Licht der hochstehenden Sonne durchflutet die Landschaft und reduziert das Spiel kontrastierender Licht- und Schatten-Effekte: die Verarbeitung der Lichtverhältnisse mit überwiegend warmen, hellen und leuchtenden Farben läßt die Bildelemente atmosphärisch erscheinen“ (a.o.0., S. 99).

BRACHT, EUGEN 1842 Morges - 1921 Darmstadt Title: "Septembermorgen auf der Haide". Technique: Oil on canvas. Mounting: Relined. Measurement: 77 x 127cm. Notation: Signed lower right: Eugen Bracht Karslruhe. Frame/Pedestal: Framed. Literature: F.v. Boetticher: Malerwerke des Neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, volume I,1, p. 134, no. 11: here with the details Berlin Academic Art Exhibition 1878, Munich International Art Exhibition 1879, and Hannover'scher Kunstverein 1880. Provenance: Private ownership, Germany. On a cloudy September morning, two men meet on the heath who could not be more different (lot 1162). One of them sits on a stone in an elegant white riding jacket and straw hat and smokes his pipe. He enjoys the nature after a long ride, meanwhile his horse grazes at the wayside. The second man, an older, thickly dressed shepherd, has joined him. Pleased to have a conversation partner, he engages the rider in conversation while his sheep line the horizon on the left edge of the picture. The thick wool of the animals fades into a white-gray cloud cover, which dramatically stretches across the heath landscape. Meanwhile, the cold hue of the clouds contrasts with the landscape, which in turn is warmly illuminated by the last rays of the sun. Here, the purple heather covers the warm yellow sandy soil like a soft carpet. The heath as a landscape and subject enjoyed great popularity in the 19th century and brought a breakthrough for the German artist Eugen Bracht. This rather sparsely vegetated landscape was popularized through his terrain and color studies. In these, Bracht combined topographical landscape sections with character figures, which he used primarily to set the mood. However, they not only function as a link between the viewer and the dramatically depicted nature, but can also be seen as so-called repoussoir figures. Behind the French word repoussoir - whose meaning can be equated with "to drive back" - is the art historical term for the use of an object placed in the foreground, which, through its enlarged representation and usually dark colouration in relation to the rest of the picture, has the effect of increasing the depth of the image. This artistic trick was popularly used in the 19th century as a romantic quotation for distant vision. In Eugen Bracht's later works, the romantic-narrative depictions increasingly ebb away. Instead, the focus is increasingly on luministic and atmospheric aspects. At the same time, the colour surface loosens up considerably and thus corresponds more to an Impressionist style. The gorge offered under lot 1164 shows a much smaller section of the picture, dominated by a brightly reflecting stone wall, while the forest behind it reflects the cool shadows of the trees through the dark colours. The jagged rocks are softened somewhat by the airy application of paint, while the bushy-looking mosses and shrubs create a smooth transition to the deep green firs. Meanwhile, the second work from this creative phase, depicting the Swiss stone pine landscape, has a much more abstract character (lot 1163). While the earthy ground is rendered in patchwork-like brown tones, the dark larch crowns bend in the stormy wind, creating not only an incredible depth through their repoussoir function, culminating in a snowy mountain peak, but also establishing a connection to the artist's early work. We would like to thank Manfred Großkinsky, Karlsruhe, who confirmed the attribution of the present painting based on a high-resolution digital photograph.
