        • Philippe Galle - Passion of Christ in seven Tondi - RRR
          Dec. 12, 2024

          Philippe Galle - Passion of Christ in seven Tondi - RRR

          Est: €4,000 - €6,500

          This extremely rare set, signed P Galleus excud on the circumcision. It seems 'undescribed' in reference works. We were not able to find it in any scientific reference work, nor in any museum inventory. The set of seven prints here on auction appears to come from a non-specialized auction in French countryside . A single print from the series was offered by a specialized German auction house but also without references. Question is if this set of seven prints consists of the whole series. One other set was found in the 'BIBLIOTECA NACIONAL DE ESPAÑA'. Again a set of seven prints and as a fact with the same seven subjects as our set. The format of the sheets, the numbering and the collection mark on one of them makes it clear these are not our prints but a second set. This is a strong indication the set in seven plates is complete. The sequence of the prints with the circumcision and then six prints from the passion with the fructification as the last one surprises, but however the the uniformity with the set in Spain is striking. This makes me believe we have here a final but unfinished set with only this seven plates engraved. ---- The circular prints have a border who makes them look like silver plates, the designs are very loosely similar to the Stradanus series engraved by Collaert and published by Sadeler circa 1580-1587. --- A splendid extremely rare (complete) set.

        • Trojan war series - Philips Galle - Extremely rare
          Dec. 12, 2024

          Trojan war series - Philips Galle - Extremely rare

          Est: €2,800 - €3,600

          Here an extremely rare almost complete series of the Trojan War signed 'Phls Galle excudit'. This series was for us not traceable in any collection, a few single mostly damages images rarely recorded. Even more, our series consists out of very early exquisite impressions with nice plate tone and all details, the guide lines for the text still visible on some prints. The series is almost complete, present are a magnificent title page, an explanatory text by Laurence Beyerlinck (Antwerp 1578-1627) in a nice ornamental engraved border and 20 on 24 engravings. The reason why this serie is so rare is strange, as the subject and quality of some plates is obvious. (Examples: Title engraving, Plate 1 with Juno, plate 4 with the Trojan Horse, plate 7 with the horse riders seeking shelter in a cave during a storm...) Has it to do with religious troubles? Problems with the dedication to Albert VII Archduke of Austria (?), or more likely with the death of Philips Galle himself? Based on the career of Laurentius Beyerlinck who wrote the explanary text we can assume this was not done before 1608 and Philips Galle died already in 1612, perhaps the work was not finished before his death and other hands were involved in the engraving (?) It still remains mysterious.

SALES TAX: Online purchases from RBFineArts CFL Inc. may be subject to sales tax. Please see the following for more details. If you are tax-exempt, you can submit your tax-exempt certificate to prevent the collection of tax. a) Out of state taxes: As a result of recent and ongoing legislation, most U.S. states now require businesses to collect and remit sales tax on online purchases made from their states. Regardless of where sellers are located, they are required to charge tax on internet orders if the state mandates it. Each state has different requirements and thresholds on what is taxed and how much. Note that purchases shipped to or picked up in states that do not impose sales tax will not be subject to tax. b) Sales Tax Exemption: Lake County Florida state sales tax is 7%. Applicable Sales or use taxes will be added to the purchase price of taxable purchases. To be sales tax exempt, a current sales tax exemption certificate, including sales tax exemption number, must be presented to RBFineArts CFL Inc to avoid paying sales tax. AUCTION CATALOGS: Catalogs, brochures, and internet descriptions are guides only based on information from sources believed to be reliable, but their accuracy cannot be guaranteed or warranted. The auctioneer will not be liable for any errors or omissions. Statements made by Auctioneer and/or staff of Auctioneer whether oral or written, are only opinions and should not be construed as statements of fact. All measurements are approximate. a) Rugs: RBFineArts CFL Inc does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. b) Jewelry: Regarding jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. c) Clocks and Watches: Due to their delicate nature, all clocks and watches are sold as not working even though they may be working. d) Antiques: Antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be noted in the description. e) Artwork: Because artwork is known to be copied from pre-existing examples, the dating of such objects is often difficult to ascertain and opinions vary from expert to expert. Due to this, RBFineArts CFL Inc strongly suggests all potential bidders or a representative to meticulously inspect any and all items prior to bidding. Any reference to a specific time period and/or culture are only the opinion of RBFineArts CFL Inc and are not a guarantee of authenticity. If the bidder or a representative cannot inspect an item in person prior to the auction, then RBFineArts CFL Inc strongly suggests that you do not place a bid on the lot. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding the condition should call 877-660-3271 or (352) 508-5738 or info@rbfinearts.net, prior to the auction. RBFineArts CFL Inc advises buyers to examine the item before placing a bid. All other guarantees of authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed. We are not an authentication service. We can only declare the work as attributed to based upon the factors mentioned in the specific lot listed. There is no other warranty, expressed, or implied. Each lot is sold AS IS. All sales are final, and all property is sold "as is." RBFineArts CFL Inc. does not give refunds. Note: If an unpaid item/s has been relisted in a future auction catalog there will be a $100.00 removal penalty per item, plus any storage penalties, before it will be released for shipping or pickup. If the item/s has not been relisted there will only be storage penalties of $10.00 per item per day before it can be released for shipping or pickup. REGISTRATION: Bidder must register for the Auction before his/her bid will be accepted. Proper identification and credit card information will be required. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to register any prospective bidder for any reason. CUSTOMER AND CLIENT CONDUCT: While visiting our gallery to preview auction items, to pick up any items, or to drop off any items, should you act in a way that causes offense or might cause danger to others or which risks damage to property belonging to others you will be asked to promptly leave, and face law enforcement being called. Further, RBFineArts CFL Inc reserves the right to hold you liable for reimbursement for any expenses incurred because of any damage or injury. We expect all correspondence by phone or online to be respectful, any rude, harassing, or offensive behavior may result in actions including canceled sales and/or being blocked on all bidding platforms and in extreme cases being reported to law enforcement. Any request to alter documents with the intent to defraud insurance or government entities will be summarily declined and reported to appropriate authorities. ABSENTEE BIDS: Please adhere to the bidding increments. It is possible that an item could go to another bidder for the same amount as your absentee bid. For example, if your maximum Internet bid on an item is $325.00 and the required opening bid is $300.00, the Internet auction software will only bid $300.00 since that is all that is required to start the Auction. The Auction begins with you at $300.00. The next increment would be $325.00, if no one else bids you will be declared the winner. If a live auction bidder bids $325.00, they are at $325.00, not you. We always encourage bidders to bid by phone or to leave absentee bids through our gallery to avoid this. To make an absentee bid with our physical location instead of an online absentee bid, please call the storefront at 1-877-660-3271 or (352) 508-5738. AUCTION PROCEDURES: RBFineArts CFL Inc. auctions items at approximately 60 lots per hour. Occasionally, the bidding software or your internet connection may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction or the floor may respond before the internet bid is presented to the auctioneer. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid for the live Internet auction before the auction begins as insurance to avoid this. Occasionally, the Auctioneer may eliminate or reject an Internet bid, or the auctioneer may reopen a lot after the close of the live internet bidding. In this case, we may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via the internet, you agree that RBFineArts CFL Inc. may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Internet bids are treated just like floor bids. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bids that are deemed inappropriate or withdraw any item before or during the sale. In the unlikely event internet connection is lost during a live Auction, RBFineArts CFL Inc. Auction Services reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to cancel the remainder of the auction.

The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by both the consignor and RBFineArts CFL Inc. Buyers should assume that all listed items are reserved unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to bid on behalf of consignors up to, but not more than, the reserve to protect against selling at a price below the reserve. This will be accomplished as necessary by a proxy placing successive bids, or bids in response to buyer's bids.

          Philips Galle (1537-1612) -The misery of human life - Complete series (6)

          Est: €1,800 - €2,400

          Rare complete series in 6 plates on the miseries of human life, all numbered and the first plate signed PG. 1563 with the publishers address Car Collart excu. The images were designed by Maarten van Heemskerck and engraved by Philips Galle. Plate 1: Man is born naked. An allegorical scene with personification of nature handing a naked child to a woman in the center. On the right, another woman is holding a swaddled baby. The surrounding landscape is filled with a variety of animals. Plate 2: Man must learn everything. In the foreground, two women are busy with some toddlers who need help. In the background, the landscape with rock formation and coastline is filled with animals. Plate 3: Man is exposed to danger and disease. Six men walk in the foreground including a blind man, a cripple and a man with a toothache. Plate 4: Man is tormented by sin. Personifications of Greed (Avarita), Wrong Opinion (Opnio), Envy (Invidia), Sadness (Tristitia) and Haughtiness (Superbia) afflict man (Homo). The character Conscience (Conscientia) tries to lead him on the right path by using a mirror that offers insight and a rod that represents punishment. Plate 5: Man is beset by poverty, imprisonment and death. In this allegorical scene, we see poverty as an old woman, a man in chains and a man who is just falling on a sword. In the background, a body falls from a rock with a burning town. Plate 6: Man is always fighting. Spread across the print we behold fighting pairs of men. In contrast, we find pairs of animals quietly enjoying each other's company. --- A very rare complete series of humanistic prints seldom found on the market. Not in the Rijksmuseum, and only two on six in the British Museum.

          Galle, Philips: Die Vier Elemente

          Est: €1,500 - €1,800

          Die Vier Elemente. 4 Kupferstiche. Je ca. 19,1 x 24,2 cm. 1564. TIB 56, .086, Hollstein 365-368, Sellink/Leesberg (New Hollstein) 365-368, je II. Wz. Malteser Kreuz mit zwei Dreiblättern darüber. -- -- Die vorliegende Folge der "Vier Elemente", die im ersten BlattTerra auf 1564 datiert ist, zählt zu den frühesten Arbeiten Galles, die er im eigenen Verlag in Haarlem herausgab. Das Thema der "Vier Elemente" gehört ebenso wie etwa die Motive der „Vier Jahreszeiten“, „Der Planeten“ oder der „Zwölf Monate“ zum gängigen ikonographischen Vokabular der Zeit. Für seine allegorische Darstellung hat Galle die Götter Kybele (Erde), Jupiter (Feuer), Juno (Luft) sowie Neptun (Wasser) gewählt. Im Vergleich zu anderen zeitgenössischen Folgen der Elemente, in denen die Gottheiten häufig mit zahlreichen Staffagefiguren und ausführlicher Symbolik dargestellt werden, verzichtet Galle größtenteils auf ikonographisches Beiwerk. Die weiblichen und männlichen Personifizierungen werden durch das ihnen zugeteilte Symbol identifiziert, das durch sie visualisierte Element dient lediglich als Hintergrundfolie. Diese reduzierte, ikonographisch neuartige Auffassung ist kennzeichnend für die Kupferstichkunst Galles. Die disziplinierte, präzise Technik verleiht den Darstellungen eine bemerkenswerte visuelle Ausdruckskraft. - Ausgezeichnete, gleichmäßige Drucke mit breitem Rand, Terra mit feinem Rändchen unten. Leichte Alters- und Gebrauchsspuren, geringfügig fingerfleckig, leichte Randläsuren, sonst in einheitlicher und sehr guter Erhaltung. -- -- - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. -- - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.
