CHAUNCEY BRADLEY IVES (AMERICAN, 1810-1894): AN IMPORTANT MARBLE SCULPTURE OF REBECCA AT THE WELL
Est: £10,000 - £15,000
CHAUNCEY BRADLEY IVES (AMERICAN, 1810-1894): AN IMPORTANT MARBLE SCULPTURE OF REBECCA AT THE WELL Rebecca wearing a headdress and loose tunic, leaning against the brickwork of the well and holding an urn in her right hand, raised on a shaped circular base, signed 'C. B. IVES / FECIT ROMÆ. 1864', 111cm high This important marble figure is of identical design to the marble figure of Rebecca at the well by Ives that is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The Metropolitan Museum example was carved two years after the present figure and although we do not know who originally commissioned the work, it was in the family of Paul Forbes in New York in 1886 and descended in his family to Mrs. Henry Forbes (Anna C.) McCreery, New York, until 1899 when it was gifted to the museum where it remains today on view in gallery 727. Ives first modeled "Rebecca at the Well" in Rome in 1854, and it became his most popular work. Twenty-five marble replicas were sold over a period of forty years. The Metropolitan's marble was carved in Rome in 1866. Like other neoclassical sculptors, Ives derived many of his subjects from the Bible, especially the Old Testament. In Genesis 24:11–23, Rebecca was chosen to be the bride of Isaac, the son of Abraham, after offering him water from her pitcher drawn from a well. Related Literature: A.

Est: €13,000 - €15,000
Chauncey Bradley IVES Hamden, États-Unis, 1810 - Rome, 1894 Jeune fille à la couronne de fleurs Marbre blanc Signé et localisé 'C. B. IVES ROMA' sur la terrasse Hauteur : 93 cm (36,60 in.) Girl crowned with flowers, marble, signed, by C. B. Ives Commentaire : Chauncey Bradley Ives fait partie de ces artistes venus chercher l'inspiration et la gloire dans la vieille Europe à une époque où cette dernière avait encore la main sur l'initiative créatrice et de laquelle toutes les révolutions artistiques germaient. Sculpteur américain ayant appris les rudiments et les techniques attachés au travail du marbre dans son Connecticut natal, c'est bien en Europe qu'il précise son geste jusqu'à le rendre sublime. Déménageant à Florence en 1844 où il rencontre d'autres artistes américains expatriés, il s'installe à Rome à partir de 1851 et c'est au contact des meilleurs marbriers italiens qu'il affirme son talent et devient l'une des figures emblématiques du mouvement néo-classique américain. L'œuvre que nous présentons à la vente témoigne de l'exceptionnelle habileté de notre artiste dans le traitement du matériau, qui, conjuguée à la douceur sensible de la figure, nous laisse une sculpture empreinte d'une merveilleuse poésie. Estimation 13 000 - 15 000 €
