Est: €50,000 - €60,000
RefOld13921 Gemäldepaar RÖMISCHER TRIUMPHZUG sowie BACCHANAL Jeweils Öl auf Leinwand. Doubliert. 34 x 100 cm.Die beiden Gemälde in extremem Längsformat, in Entsprechung antiker bzw. Renaissance-Friesmalereien oder -Reliefs. Möglicherweise wurden sie als Supraporten oder für Kabinettfelderungen geschaffen. Die Farbigkeit in beige-bräunlichem Camaieu lässt die Figuren im Sinne eines Steinreliefs erscheinen, jedoch mit völlig dunklem Hintergrund, vor dem sie sich betont abheben. Im erstgenannten Bild zieht ein römischer Triumphzug nach links. Die Hauptfigur, ein Feldherr oder Imperator, sitzt mit erhobenem Feldherrnstab und einer Siegespalme in der Linken auf einer Biga, von zwei Pferden gezogen. Er hält den Kopf zurückgewandt und blickt auf den behelmten Träger einer Legionsstandarte, dem zwei Krieger folgen. Dazwischen ein Mann mit Helm, der den Rotulus mit der Aufschrift „SPQR“ hochhält. Kannen und Amphoren tragende Frauen sowie ein Musiker mit Doppelaulos und Lorbeerkranz begleiten den Zug. Die Gefangenen, zwei davon in langen Philosophenmänteln, ziehen voraus, die Köpfe gesenkt. Am linken Bildrand ein geharnischter weiterer Standartenträger zwischen einem Jüngling mit erhobener Beuterüstung sowie einem weiteren, der mit geschultertem Beil einen jungen Stier führt, der zum Tempel als Opfertier geführt wird. Im Gegenstück wird das wilde Treiben eines antiken Bacchanals präsentiert. Die Ausführung in entsprechender Farbigkeit. Auch hier findet sich die Hauptfigur rechts im Bild, ein beleibter Bacchus mit Weinschale schwankend auf einem Esel reitend, gestützt von einem Satyr und einem Knäblein, der sein Bein sichert. Davor ein Ziegenbock, Symbol der Trunkenheit. In die rechte untere Ecke hat der Maler eine junge Frau eingefügt, darüber ein Hornbläser. Die linke Bildseite ist durch eine Herme betont, die mit einem Kranz geschmückt wird. Die gesamte Mittelzone wird von musizierenden Jünglingen und Mänaden im Tanzschritt belebt, mit Triangel, Serpenthorn, Doppelauloi, Becken oder Tyrsosstab. Der bocksbeinige Pan mit Panflöte. Die Darstellungen evozieren den Eindruck eines Hochrelief-Plastikfrieses, dies besonders durch die Beleuchtung von links, mit entsprechenden Schattenbildungen und dunkler gehaltenen Figuren im Hintergrund. A. R. Der Maler ist bereits in den Künstlerviten des Vasari genannt. Demnach kam er 18-jährig nach Rom, wo er wahrscheinlich in der Werkstatt von Giulio und Giovanni da Udine lernen konnte. Schon zu seiner Zeit wurde er durch seine Malereien an Gebäudefassaden in der monochromen Sgraffito-Technik gerühmt. Die Thematik seiner Werke greift fast ausschließlich in die Mythologie der Antike. Verblüfft hatte er seine Zeitgenossen mit seiner damals völlig neuen Chiaroscuro-Malerei. Auch die Tatsache, dass er als Erster in Italien Heiligenfiguren als winzige Gestalten in die Landschaften setzte, lediglich als Staffagefiguren. Die Pestepidemie und der Sacco di Roma veranlassten den Maler 1527 nach Neapel zu ziehen, um dann 1530 in Messina Aufträge des spanischen Konsuls anzunehmen, Werke die jedoch dem Erdbeben 1908 zum Opfer fielen. Die letzte Nachricht über seine Tätigkeit ist der Auftrag der Stadt Messina, den Sieg Kaiser Karls V auf ein hölzernes Triumphtor zu malen. 1543 starb der Maler eines gewaltsamen Todes. Quellen nennen seinen Schüler Tonno Calabrese als den Täter, der angeblich an sein Geld kommen wollte. Neben Deodato Guinaccia waren Antonio Catalano, Stefano Giordano, Jacopo Vigneri und Mariano Riccio seine letzten Schüler in Messina. Werke seiner Hand finden sich in zahlreichen bedeutenden öffentlichen Sammlungen und Museen, wie der National Gallery London, der Royal Collection Windsor, dem Nationalmuseum Capodimonte Napoli oder dem Metropolitan Musem of Art, N.Y.

after [possibly att.] Polidoro da Caravaggio (Italian, circa 1497-1543), Old Testament Scene pen and brown ink and wash heightened with opaque white color, on laid paper, sheet bears two inscriptions: "Polidoro da Caravaggio" and "Polidorus," sheet also bears the collector's stamp belonging to Modesto Ignazio Bonaventura Luigi Genevosio (1719-1795) (Lugt 545), drawing is matted and framed. Sheet Size 10.5 x 12.25 in. (264 x 310 mm.); DOA 29.5 x 31 1/8 in. Polidoro da Caravaggio, alternatively known as Polidoro Caldara or Polidorus in Latin, was an Italian Mannerist artist active in the early 16th century as well as a talented student of Raphael. After working as a laborer constructing buildings, he joined Raphael's workshop in 1517 when becoming acquainted with one of Raphael's assistants, Maturino da Firenze. Polidoro worked closely with Maturino on frescoes of Roman palazzi faÃ§ades and the Raphael Rooms of the Vatican. Polidoro later fled to Messina after the Sack of Rome and the death of Maturino, and he found great success working in the High Renaissance style, incorporating his energetic brushstrokes and a sculptural quality to his figures. The legendary first art historian, Vasari, wrote of Polidoro da Caravaggio, explaining that he was robbed and killed by his assistant during a voyage to the mainland of Italy. Little has survived of Polidoro's work - much of the building faÃ§ade decoration has deteriorated over time - with the exception of several drawings in major international museum collections such as the Getty Museum, Los Angeles; The Uffizi Gallery, Florence; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and The Louvre Museum, Paris.

Est: $31,600 - $47,400
The Adoration of the Shepherds oil on panel, arched top 613/4 x 34 1/8 in. (156.8 x 86.7 cm.) PROVENANCE A religious institution, Dublin. NOTES Hitherto unknown, the present work is a notable addition to the much-lauded late paintings of Polidoro, produced in Messina where he lived from 1528 until his death. Polidoro is first recorded in the second decade of the sixteenth century in Rome where he began his career in the workshop of Raphael, assisting in his frescoes for the Vatican Loggia. After Raphael's death, he painted decorations in the Sala di Costantio under the supervision of Giulio Romano and by the early 1520s he was receiving commissions, particularly for frescoes, as an independent artist. The sack of Rome in 1527 precipitated Polidoro's flight to Southern Italy, first to Naples and then on to Messina where he had arrived by 1528. Pierluigi Leone de Castris dates the present picture to Polidoro's final years in Messina, circa 1540, by which time his seemingly modern, idiosyncratic style had fully evolved. As Castris states, this last manner of Polidoro is characterised by 'la veemenza, l'approssimazione, il rifuto del bello, la drammatica' e la forza di pura suggestione ottenuta col segno o con la macchia di colore' ( Polidoro da Caravaggio, Naples, 2001, p. 446). In the late 1530s Polidoro began to employ the monochromatic, spontaneous technique that had previously been confined to his small works and sketches, in his large-scale finished compositions. This is testified by other panels from the same period such as the Crucifixion in a private collection, Naples, two panels showing Saint Christopher and David and Goliath at Christ Church, Oxford, and the huge Immaculate Conception in the Museo Regionale, Messina. The similarities are not only technical. The faces of the shepherds in the present panel relate closely to the face of Saint Christopher at Oxford, and to one of the thieves in the Crucifixion. The depiction of the Virgin, shown raising a veil over the Christ Child, connects the picture to the larger Adoration of the Shepherds in the Museo Regionale, Messina, painted in 1535/6, in which the downward looking face of the Virgin is strikingly similar. As further pointed out by Castris, the Michelangeloesque arrangement of the figures, the muscular arms and the open hands are prominent features that recur in all these paintings. Given the relatively large number of his pictures that survive, Polidoro evidently found a market in Sicily that appreciated his personal bozzetto -like artistic approach. The circumstances surrounding the commission of the present picture are uncertain. The size of the panel indicates that it was painted for a chapel or a church rather than for private devotion. The inventories and sources in Messina in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries record at least seven or eight Nativities by Polidoro, most of which are described as small format and with many figures and angels. Castris has suggested that the present panel may be identifiable as either the picture recorded in the chapel of Canonico Sardo (F. Susinno, Le vite de' pittori messinesi, 1724), said to be only 100 cm. high, or one of the Nativities in the Capuchin church in Messina, and in the collection of the Duke of Cesar•, neither of which are described in any detail (see F. Hackert and G. Grano, Memorie dei Pittore Messinesi, Napoli, 1792). It might have been possible to establish this with certainty from the coat-of-arms in the lower left of the present picture but it appears, without cleaning at least, to be indecipherable. Other pictures by Polidoro, for example the Tranfiguration in the Courtauld Institute, similarly include a heraldic device in the lower part of the picture. Typical for Polidoro's late paintings is the unusual structure of the present panel which is comprised of two large vertical poplar planks with additions at top and bottom. As Castris argues, it is likely that Polidoro was using the doors of cupboards or shutters to make up his panels in this way, as is the case in his Deposition in the Galleria Regionale, Palermo. This notion is supported here by what appear to be marks from metal hinges on the left side of the panel. We are grateful to Pierluigi Leone de Castris for confirming the attribution and for his help in cataloguing this lot.

POLIDORO CALDARA, CALLED POLIDORO DA CARAVAGGIO (1490/1500-1543) THE MADONNA AND CHILD ADORED BY TWO SAINTS.
Est: -
Red chalk. 102 by 71 mm. Provenance: Jonathan Richardson, Jnr. (L.2170); E. Drury Lowe Collection, Locko Park. The attribution to Polidoro was first proposed by Philip Pouncey. Pierluigi Leone de Castris has suggested that the drawing probably dates from the period when the artist was working in Messina, and may be preparatory for one of the various lost altarpieces of the Madonna and Child which he is known to have painted for churches in that city.
