Worlidge, Thomas: Bildnis der Frau
Est: €1,200 - €1,800
Brustbildnis der Arabella Worlidge, der Frau des Künstlers, mit Pinsel und Palette. Radierung und Kaltnadel, mit Pinsel in Schwarz und Grau überarbeitet. 15,2 x 11,8 cm. Verso in Feder bezeichnet: "Portrait of Mrs. Worlidge of Bath by her Husband Tho.s". Der Maler und Radierer Thomas Worlidge erhielt seine erste künstlerische Ausbildung bei dem Genueser Meister Alessandro Maria Grimaldi (1659-1732), der in London lebte und arbeitete und dessen Tochter Arabella von Worlidge geehelicht wurde. Nach einem kurzen Aufenthalt in Birmingham, wo er als Glasmaler tätig war, kehrte Worlidge Mitte der 1730er Jahre nach London zurück, um bei dem Kupferstecher Louis Pierre Boitard in die Lehre zu gehen. Während einer Reise nach Flandern und Holland in der Begleitung von Boitard machte der Künstler Bekanntschaft mit dem Werk Rembrandts, der nunmehr seine bedeutendste künstlerische Inspirationsquelle sein sollte. Worlidge suchte den Stil Rembrandts täuschend nachzuahmen, so daß manche seiner Gemälde von den Zeitgenossen sogar für eigenhändige Werke des niederländischen Meisters gehalten wurden. Ab 1740 war der Künstler vornehmlich in Bath ansässig, wo er sich mit gemalten und gezeichneten Miniaturbildnissen einen Namen machte. Worlidge radierte zahlreiche Blätter in Rembrandts Manier und hat wesentlich zum Revival dieses Künstlers im England des 18. Jahrhunderts beigetragen. Das vorliegende, unvollendete Bildnis der Arabella Worlidge fehlt in Naglers Aufstellung der Radierungen. Möglicherweise entstand es als Pendant zu dem rembrandtesken Selbstbildnis des Künstlers aus dem Jahre 1754, das den Künstler im Pelzmantel und mit Barett bei der Arbeit zeigt. Auf unserem Bildnis ist nur das Antlitz der Gattin des Künstlers genauer ausgearbeitet und durch einfache Kreuzschraffuren und Parallellagen plastisch modelliert, während der Oberkörper und die Hände nur umrisshaft wiedergegeben sind. Einzelne Kreuzlagen im Gesicht sind mit Bleistift angedeutet, die Frisur, die Kopfbedeckung der Künstlerin und einzelne Partien der Kleidung und des Hintergrundes sind mit flotten Tuschpinselstrichen überarbeitet. Das anmutige Blättchen besitzt den Reiz des Unvollendeten und atmet die Spontaneität eines primo pensiero.
