Johann Jakob Frey: View of Palermo with the Monte Pellegrino
Est: €15,000 - €20,000
FREY, JOHANN JAKOB 1813 Basel - 1865 Frascati Title: View of Palermo with the Monte Pellegrino. Technique: Oil on canvas. Mounting: Relined. Measurement: 66 x 83.5cm. Notation: Signed"J.J.Frey". Frame: Framed. Provenance: Private ownership, Italien. Johann Jakob Frey, a native of Basel, initially studied with his father, Samuel Frey, a landscape painter and lithographer, and with the history painter Hieronymus Hess. After a period in Paris, he moved to Munich in 1834, where he was impressed by Carl Rottmann's landscape painting. A patron, also from Basel, enabled the young painter to travel to Italy and move to Rome. Here he quickly became one of the most respected foreign landscape painters. Johann Jakob Frey explored and painted the surroundings of Rome together with Joseph Anton Koch and Johann Christian Reinhard. He made drawings and sketches on location, which he later turned into large paintings in his studio. At the end of the 1830s, Frey moved temporarily to Naples, from where he also travelled to Sicily and Tunisia in 1840. From this trip, the artist may have brought back the present motif with the view of the Bay of Palermo with Monte Pellegrino. The present painting is not dated, but it can be assumed that it was created after 1840. In 1842, Johann Jakob Frey took part in the Prussian expedition to Egypt together with the archaeologist Richard Lepsius. His work had already been highly recognised and appreciated, but after his return to Rome he became a celebrated star, especially among foreign tourists. His patrons included Ludwig I of Bavaria, Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia and English aristocrats. On the 'Grand Tour', his studio was a regular destination for art-loving tourists to Rome from all over the world. Johann Jakob Frey chose an unusual perspective for the present painting. The painter's position is slightly elevated at the bend of a hairpin bend. The view follows a countryman walking downhill. A little further ahead, there is a confusing hustle and bustle; where a country woman on horseback, followed by a large herd of goats, and a group of two people and a donkey walking uphill meet. This lively situation slows down the view before it captures the expanse of the picturesque bay of Palermo with Monte Pellegrino. And then the eye wanders in the other direction, uphill. Here the path continues parallel to the edge of the picture into the depths. To the right and left of the path are a cross on a pillar and a wayside shrine. There are also people here. Frey's paintings are characterised by large trees that rise up against the southern blue sky, which shines through the finely painted foliage. The slender shape of such trees is just as much a characteristic of Johann Jakob Frey's paintings as the charming transition from the strongly sculptural details in the foreground to the slightly hazy atmosphere of the coast in the background. Frey's paintings, with their clarity and delicacy, are as fascinating today as they were almost 200 years ago. Estimated shipping costs for this lot: Arrangement after the auction.

Johann Jakob Frey: View Along the Bay at Nettuno
Est: €3,000 - €4,000
FREY, JOHANN JAKOB 1813 Basel - 1865 Frascati Title: View Along the Bay at Nettuno. Technique: Oil on canvas. Measurement: 28,5 x 40cm. Notation: Signed lower right: J.J. Frey fe. Frame: Framed. Verso: Old inscription on the stretcher: "Nettuno gegen das Cap Circello / Cap der Kirke" as well as an old, descriptive adhesive note on the canvas. Provenance: Private ownership, Germany. Johann Jakob Frey, born in Basel and celebrated today especially for his impressive landscape paintings, was the son of the Swiss etcher Samuel Frey, with whom Johann also initially received his training. Formative for his oeuvre was the Grand Tour, an educational trip reserved for the European nobility of the 18th century. The Roman Campagna, the Albanian and Sabine mountains were among the Swiss artist's favourite destinations and motifs. Frey's expressive landscapes bear witness to a wide variety of influences from pioneering artists of 18th and 19th century Europe. On the one hand, he followed the academic ideal of landscape painting and is thus closely associated with Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin. On the other hand, he oriented himself towards the French Barbizon school, which had devoted itself to open-air painting. The result of these diverse influences is a meticulous elaboration of atmospheric, contemplative and topographical landscapes, such as in the present painting. Frey allows us a sweeping view of the bay of Nettuno, which seems to run into infinity. We see villagers going about their daily tasks and having friendly conversations with each other. Through the refined composition, the artist creates a contemplative moment of a joyful and distant place where life seems simple. Johann Jakob Frey Switzerland Romantic-realistic school 19th C.

Johann Jakob Frey: View of Rome from Monte Mario along the Tiber Valley
Est: €30,000 - €40,000
FREY, JOHANN JAKOB 1813 Basel - 1865 Frascati Title: View of Rome from Monte Mario along the Tiber Valley. Technique: Oil on canvas. Mounting: Relined. Measurement: 100 x 137cm. Notation: Signed and dated lower right: J.J. Frey / Roma 1846. Frame: Framed. Provenance: Auction Lempertz, Cologne, 14.05.1995; since private ownership, Germany. In 1836, ten years before this impressive painting was created, the Basel-born landscape painter Johann Jakob Frey had settled in Rome. He found classical landscape motifs on extensive hikes in the Roman countryside together with his artist colleagues Joseph Anton Koch, Johann Christian Reinhardt or Martin von Rohden. He made drawings and sketches on site, which Frey then turned into large paintings in his studio. And his works were very well received by the public, especially English and German tourists from the highest social circles. Frey's popularity increased even more after he took part in the Prussian expedition to Egypt led by the archaeologist Professor Richard Lepsius from 1842 to 1845. Now his studio became a magnet for foreign visitors who bought his exotic travel impressions from Egypt and Greece. But Roman motifs also continued to be extremely popular. The view of the "Eternal City" shown here from Monte Mario was taken precisely at this time after Frey's return to Rome. The landscape slopes gently; the gaze is drawn to the turquoise of the loop of the Tiber. There, in the distance, is the familiar silhouette of the metropolis with all its recognisable buildings. The river valley lies in a light haze; the nearby landscape elements, the towering pine trees and the figural staffages are bathed in a warm light by the low sun. The impact of the Egyptian trip on Frey's style and on his choice of colours is clearly evident in this painting. This motif was so popular with the public that Johann Jakob Frey painted at least two more versions of the view of Rome from Monte Mario that we still know today.

JOHANN JAKOB FREY
Est: CHF6,000 - CHF10,000
JOHANN JAKOB FREY (Basel 1813–1865 Frascati) Eastern landscape with ruins. Oil on canvas. 100 × 138 cm. Provenance: Private collection, Switzerland. --------------- JOHANN JAKOB FREY (Basel 1813–1865 Frascati) Orientalische Ruinenlandschaft. Öl auf Leinwand. 100 × 138 cm. Provenienz: Schweizer Privatbesitz. Der gebürtige Schweizer Johann Jakob Frey avancierte Ende der 1830er Jahre zu einem der bekanntesten Maler in Rom, dem Mekka für Künstler des 19. Jahrhunderts. Dort gelangte Frey nicht nur rasch zu finanziellem Erfolg, sondern er erhielt auch wichtige Aufträge, die sein künstlerisches Schaffen wesentlich beeinflussen sollten. So wurde er 1842 aufgrund seines Ruhmes als Landschaftsmaler von der Preussischen Regierung zum offiziellen Maler archäologischer Ausgrabungsstätten ernannt und nahm daraufhin 1843 an einer ausgedehnten Expedition nach Ägypten teil. Das uns vorliegende Gemälde zeugt von dieser Unternehmung, muss jedoch nach Freys Rückkehr aus Ägypten auf Grundlage eines Französischen Expeditionsberichtes von 1807 entstanden sein. Bei den dargestellten Ruinen handelt es sich um die Überreste der antiken Stadt Antaeopolis, die 1821 bei einer Nil-Flut zerstört wurde. Frey verbindet die Eindrücke von Licht, Vegetation und Architektur, die er während seiner Ägyptenexpedition kennenlernte, mit den Bildvorlagen, die er in Expeditionsberichten fand. Die Ruinen der Stadt Antaeopolis malte Frey in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen (siehe Maltzahn Gallery (Hrsg.): A Collection of Drawings and Paintings by Johann Jacob Frey 1813-1865, London 1974, S. 7 ff.). Dieser Katalog bezeugt auch die Eigenart Freys, seine Gemälde nur äusserst selten zu signieren und zu datieren und auch in unserem Gemälde findet sich keine Signatur und keine Datierung. Eine Stilanalyse des Bildes offenbart insbesondere die Malweise der Spiegelungen im Wasser und der Palmen als typisch für Johann Jakob Frey. Bemerkenswert bei dem hier angebotenen Los ist zudem die malerische Schärfe, in der Frey diese imposante Landschaft malt und uns in der Manier des Parallelismus einen Wald aus Palmen und Säulen präsentiert. ---------------

(Basilea, 1813 - Frascati, 1865) Veduta delle rovine di Karnak da sud (1850 - 1860) Olio su tela, cm 54X104 Provenienza: Roma, Galleria Carlo Virgilio Bibliografia: G. Montani, in Quadreria 2009, Dalla bizzarria al canone: dipinti tra Seicento e Ottocento, a cura di Giovanna Capitelli, Roma 2009, pp. 80 - 81, n. 32 L'esperienza del viaggio in Egitto svoltosi tra il 1842 e il 1843 con l'egittologo Karl Richard Lepsius, segnì l'immaginario creativo di Frey negli anni successivi. La mole di schizzi e bozzetti realizzati durante la spedizione furono uno spunto per ricreare ambienti e atmosfere connotando la produzione a carattere orientalista del pittore. In questo caso, l'opera offre una veduta dettagliata del sito monumentale di Karnak che con Luxor costituisce l'antica Tebe. Come sottolinea Giovanna Montani, l'esecuzione esibisce una minuzia descrittiva e filologica delle rovine, ma in questo caso desunta dalle testimonianze di Lepsius, perché quando la spedizione giunse a Karnak nell'ottobre del 1843, Frey era sulla via del ritorno a Roma trovandosi nel mese di settembre ad Atene (cfr. K. R. Lepsius, Denkmaleler aus Aegypten und Aethiopien, 1849). Un'altra versione di quest'opera è stata esitata presso Sotheby's di Londra il 19 novembre 1997, lotto 32.

(Basilea, 1813 - Frascati, 1865) Studio di tronco abbattuto Olio su carta applicata su tela cm 26,3X40,4 Studio di vegetazione Olio su carta applicata su tela cm 43X57 (2) Scorrendo la produzione di Frey si percepisce chiaramente la sua attenzione ai dati naturalistici e l'esecuzione dal vero della vegetazione. Giunto nella Città Eterna l'emozione in lui suscitata dal diretto contatto con la natura lo portì a compiere frequenti escursioni, eseguendo schizzi e bozzetti da impiegare nelle opere finite. Il suo catalogo conta innumerevoli fogli disegnati o abbozzati a olio dedicati alla rappresentazione particolareggiata di singoli elementi del paesaggio, quali piante, rocce e animali, affrontati con attenzione scientifica e la precisione di un botanico.

(Basilea, 1813 - Frascati, 1865) Veduta di Atene da nord Olio su carta applicata su tela, cm 44X63 L'opera è stata plausibilmente eseguita dal vero nel settembre del 1843 quando il Frey soggiornì ad Atene. Da questo dipinto è stata poi desunta una versione compiuta in studio recentemente esitata presso la casa d'asta Neumeister di Monaco di Baviera il 15 luglio 2020 lotto 176. Formatosi nella bottega familiare, Frey si trasferì a Parigi giovanissimo e nel 1834 è documentata la sua presenza a Monaco di Baviera dove ebbe l'opportunità di conoscere i paesisti Johann Georg von Dillis, Carl Rottmann e Johann Wilhelm Schirmer che furono determinanti per far maturare il suo stile. Grazie ad alcuni disegni raffiguranti vedute romane datati al 1636 possiamo invece precisare il suo arrivo nella Città Eterna, dove affiancandosi alla comunità artistica tedesca e dei pittori del Caffè Greco intraprese lo studio della natura dal vivo, ponendo particolare attenzione agli aspetti atmosferici e la volontà di descrivere la peculiare luce mediterranea. Ciì lo indusse a vistare Napoli e a seguire nel 1842 in qualità di pittore, la spedizione promossa dal governo prussiano in Egitto ed Etiopia condotta dall'egittologo Karl Richard Lepsius, che dovette abbandonare per motivi di salute e rientrare a Roma passando appunto ad Atene. Bisogna dire che fu proprio questo viaggio e la connaturata esigenza di produrre schizzi dal vero a condizionarne ulteriormente il suo fare pittorico, evocando con straordinaria sensibilità nuove esperienze coloristiche e atmosferiche.
