    • Ignatius van Logteren (1685-1732)
      Jun. 27, 2024

      Ignatius van Logteren (1685-1732)

      Est: €2,000 - €3,000

      Ignatius van Logteren (1685-1732), Bacchus, ca. 1715-20, Patinated terracotta, the figure shown with cast-down eyes, wearing a fur-trimmed robe, his hair adorned with grapes and vines, on a spreading socle signed to the front with the initials ‘IVL'. In his early years, Van Logteren often collaborated with Daniel Marot, who moved to Amsterdam from The Hague around 1702-03. One of his first major projects executed in terracotta were two putti representing Asia and Europe, which were also signed ‘IVL’ in the same manner as the initials on our bust. After having sculpted various garden sculptures for important clients, he would also specialise in stucco plaster reliefs and facade sculptures, which he executed for numerous Amsterdam canal houses from 1717 onwards. Eventually, his son Jan van Logteren would assist him in these projects. The art historian Pieter Fischer, who included our bust in in his posthumously published book Ignatius and Jan van Logteren (Alphen aan den Rijn 2005), writes that this piece belonged to the property of the late J. Leeuwenberg, a former curator of sculpture at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. For years, it was lovingly displayed and admired in his office at the museum. According to Fischer, Leeuwenberg had acquired the sculpture at an auction at Paul Brandt in Amsterdam and connected the monogram and style of the bust to Ignatius’ son Jan. However, when comparing both aspects with other works made by father and son, it is clear that the bust is a work by Ignatius, which Fischer also argues. We also know that the sculptor made a marble bust of Pluto, another Roman god, which is very similar in style and design. Perhaps, our terracotta bust was made as a preparatory model for a larger work, and perhaps as part of a series of Roman gods. Nevertheless, the fine features and attention to detail that characterise this bust could also suggest that this work was made as an artwork in its own right. Literature: published and photographed in P.M. Fischer, Ignatius en Jan van Logteren. Beeldhouwers en stuckunstenaars in het Amsterdam van de 18de eeuw, Alphen aan den Rijn 2005, pp. 299-300. H 24,5 cm Small old chip to front edge, some minor chips to vines, tip of the nose probably once restored.

      CIRCLE OF IGNATIUS VAN LOGTEREN (DUTCH 1685-1732) AND AFTER MICHEL ANGUIER (FRENCH 1612- 1686), A CONTINENTAL SCULPTED LIMESTONE GROUP OF MERCURY AND COCKEREL, 18TH CENTURY

      Est: €30,000 - €40,000

      The god portrayed standing and ‘heroically nude’ but for drapery around his midriff, the petasus helmet worn back on his head, the cockerel beside him on the rectangular section base. 194 cm. high, 46 cm. wide, 42 cm. deep. Atop a limestone square section plinth, of spreading form, 105 cm. high, 90 cm. square, 299 cm. high overall. Mercury, usually recognisable by his petasus, caduceus and winged sandals was, other than his chief role as messenger of the gods, also associated with trade and commerce. He was also the patron god of financial gain, eloquence (and thus poetry), messages/ communication (including divination), travellers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves as well as being the guide of souls to Hades. In this group his association with a cockerel marks him as the Herald of the New Day, and he was similarly portrayed by the Flemish sculptor Artus Quellinus, and by the Dutch artist Hendrik Goltzius in a work of 1611.
