    Heinrich Christoph Kolbe: Portrait of a Young Woman at the Sewing Table

    Est: €5,000 - €8,000

    KOLBE, HEINRICH CHRISTOPH Düsseldorf 1771 - 1836 Title: Portrait of a Young Woman at the Sewing Table. Painting of Julie Caroline of Rath, born Bemberg. Date: Ca. 1815. Technique: Oil on canvas. Mounting: Relined. Measurement: 120.5 x 95.5cm. Frame: Framed. Literature: Journal "Geschichte im Wuppertal", 16, 2007, pp. 31 - 35, published online: www.bgv-wuppertal.de; H. Heidermann: Der Düsseldorfer Maler Heinrich Christoph Kolbe, in: Ddf. Jahrb. 75, 2004/05, pp. 221-294 Provenance: Private ownership, Germany. The portrayed woman is the younger daughter of the Wuppertal manufacturer Johann Peter Bemberg (1758 - 1838). His textile dye works developed into an international company for the production of artificial silk in the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1813, Julie Caroline Bemberg married Johann Peter of Rath, whose mother Heinrich Christoph Kolbe also painted. The Düsseldorf painter painted portraits of many entrepreneurs and their family members from Wuppertal. Today, the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal has ten portraits of Kolbe, including a smaller, probably later version of the portrait of Julie Caroline vom Rath shown here. The 'Iron Cross' that the young lady is wearing was awarded to the portrayed woman for her commitment as a co-founder of the 'Elberfelder Frauenverein', which produced and collected clothing for the participants in the Wars of Liberation. Consequently, Julie Caroline of Rath is depicted doing needlework. Estimated shipping costs for this lot: Arrangement after the auction.

Il fut proche de Friedrich Schlegel, un des penseurs du romantisme allemand. A son retour en Allemagne, Kolbe travailla principalement comme portraitiste et on lui doit un portrait de Goethe ou bien plusieurs portraits de la famille de Saxe – Weimar. Professeur à partir de 1822, il influença de nombreux artistes de cette région du Rhin.

    *HEINRICH CHRISTOPH KOLBE

    Est: $80,000 - $100,000

    *HEINRICH CHRISTOPH KOLBE GERMAN, 1771-1836 THE SEDUCTION OF HELEN OF TROY signed and dated Kolbe f. 1819 (lower left) oil on canvas 51 1/4 by 64in. 130.2 by 162.6cm. Heinrich Christoph Kolbe was a member of an illustrious German family of artists. Kolbe studied at the Dusseldorf Academy of Arts, and in 1800 moved to Paris where he developed his Neoclassical style under the tutelage of Vincent and Gerard, themselves pupils of the father of Neoclassicism, Jacques-Louis David. Upon his return to Dusseldorf, he continued to work in the Neoclassical style, primarily as a portraitist, and later earned a professorship at the Academy of Arts. The abduction of Helen was the catalyst for the Trojan War. Perhaps the best-known version of this subject is Jacques-Louis David's 1786 composition (Paris, Louvre). Kolbe's composition adheres to the strict order and rationality espoused by Neoclassicists, and belies the influence of his French counterpart. Indeed, the architectural surrounding is similar to one depicted in David's Paris and Helen, with Kolbe elaborating the scene by adding two figures and pushing them further into the foreground, replacing the caryatids in the background with columns, and enlarging and deepening the bedchamber. The figures are organized in a perfect triangular composition, with the position of every limb and glance allowing the viewer to understand the subtle interaction between the protagonists. Kolbe was also inspired by David's floor design of alternating circular and square tiles to create the illusion of spatial recession.
