Gruner, Ludwig: Etruskischer Grabhügel bei Bomarzo im Latium
Est: €300 - €400
Etruskischer Grabhügel bei Bomarzo im Latium. Feder in Braun, grau und braun laviert, Spuren von schwarzem Stift, verso: Skizze eines Grabes in Bleistift. 13,7 x 22,5 cm. Unten rechts bezeichnet, datiert und monogrammiert "Spot with the painted tomb / in the Necropoli of Moc...ia[?] / April 11th 1837. LG.", verso Annotationen zum Grab und dessen Lage zwischen Bomarzo, Attigliano und Mugniano. Der Kupferstecher, Kunstkenner und spätere Direktor des Dresdener Kupferstichkabinetts Ludwig Gruner lebte von 1837 bis 1840 in Rom und nahm während dieser Zeit auch an mehreren archäologischen Grabungen teil. In diesem Zusammenhang entstand wohl auch vorliegende Ansicht eines Grabhügels bei Bomarzo aus der an etruskischen Stätten reichen Region zwischen Latium und Umbrien. Die englischen Bezeichnung lassen sich auf seine Tätigkeit für den britischen Hof zurückführen. Gruner zog 1841 nach London, wo er bis 1855 für das englische Königshaus tätig war, u.a. ab 1845 als art adviser von Königin Victoria. Die englischen Aufschriften auf den mitgebrachten Zeichnungen ergänzte er wohl in Hinblick auf potentielle Käufer in seiner neuen Heimat. - 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.

"Ludwig Gruner designed this study of motifs of ancient and Renaissance classicism while he resided in England. There he had participated in the design of the Crystal Palace and advised Prince Albert and Queen Victoria on acquisitions for what would become the Victoria and Albert Museum. Indeed, this sumptuous work on Roman and Italian design was dedicated to Prince Albert. His bold renditions of largely forgotten Classical pictorial ideas excited a revival in interest in earlier ages and cultures and spawned Owen Jones' work on ornamental motifs generally. But Gruner's grand, striking visual quotes from Italian palaces, churches and ancient buildings resonated with the Imperial mindset of England, France and Germany and established Classicism, once again, as the appropriate mode of architecture and design for rulers."

Gruner, Ludwig: Bildnis Anton Raphael Mengs
Est: €400 - €600
Gruner, Ludwig: Bildnis Anton Raphael Mengs Bildnis Anton Raphael Mengs. Kupferstich. 22,5 x 17,2 cm. Prachtvoller, sehr gratiger und durch die experimentellen Wischungen außerordentlich reizvoller, nur auf Stirn und Kinn leicht ungleichmäßiger Probedruck mit dem vollen Rand und einigen Atelierspuren im weißen Rand. Gruner, der ab 1852 Leiter des Dresdner Kupferstichkabinetts und zugleich Professor an der Akademie war, war zuerst erfolgreich als Stecher tätig gewesen, bevor ein Augenleiden ihn in den 40er Jahren zwang, sich umzuorientieren. In den folgenden Jahren arbeitete Gruner vor allem in England, wo er sich dekorativen Entwürfen und der Herausgabe verschiedener Prachtbände zuwendete, welche unter anderem als Vorlage für die Umgestaltung des Buckingham Palace und verschiedener englischer Landsitze dienten. Die vorliegende Graphik nach dem berühmten Selbstbildnis Anton Raphael Mengs in der Dresdner Gemäldegalerie war offensichtlich ein sehr früher Probeabzug bei dem Gruner lediglich die Kopfpartie einschwärzte, um deren Wirkung anzutesten. In den nicht eingefärbten Partien ist trotzdem deutlich der stark geprägte Grat des Kupferstichs zu erkennen, was eine äußerst reizvolle Wirkung erzeugt und den künstlerischen Arbeitsprozess deutlich erfahrbar werden läßt. Im weißen Rand teils etwas angestaubt, vereinzelt leicht fleckig und knittrig, sowie mit einigen Atelierspuren, verso Spuren alter Montage, sonst sehr gut erhalten.
