32.  LOUIS AMMY BLANC (1810-1885)

Jeune garçon au faucon

 

Huile sur sa toile d’origine avec cachet d’inventaire et numéroté sur le châssis S 127.

Provenance :
Acquis directement à l’artiste par une importante famille aristocrate qui en restera propriétaire jusqu’en 1989. Il s’agit probablement des Princes Solms-Braunfels, le sujet représente très certainement l’un des jeunes princes. Les Solms-Braunfels étaient une famille s’étendant de l’Allemagne en passant par la Suisse, l’Autriche et la Bohême. La lignée masculine s’éteindra en 1989.

Dimensions : 60,3 x 50,3 cm

A Young Boy with a Falcon, oil on unlined canvas 60,3 x 50,3 cm with inventory stamp and number on the reverse of the stretcher: S 127.

Provenance:
Property of a distinguished noble family, bought from the artist, by descent to the previous owner until 1989. Catalogue eassay: probably commissioned by the Princes Solms-Braunfels directly from the artist. It certainly depicts one of the young princes. Solms-Braunfels was a high noble family existing in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Bohemia, which became extinct in the male line in 1989.

The Berlin-born Louis Ammy Blanc (1810-1885) was a successful portrait and genre painter in his time and is mainly known for his images of Biedermeier and the religious and romantic scenes from everyday life. Blanc started his artistic education at the end of the 1820s studying at the Berliner Akademie and some years later he changed to Düsseldorf and became a pupil of Julius Hübner. He stayed in Düsseldorf and ran a studio there.

The manner of painting of the artist is characterized by the technical perfection, the quality of distinction and detail of his depictions and the concinnity of his art. The simple and dignified portraits and the partially magical motives met the spirit of the 19th century – shaped by romanticism and Biedermeier.

Richard “Richie” Mirando, known as Seen is an American artist born in the Bronx. He is one of the best known graffiti artists in the world and has been referred to as the Godfather of Graffiti. Seen first started to paint on the New York City Subway system in 1973. His crew, United Artists, which included Duster, Sin, and his brother Mad, painted whole cars.

During the very early 1980s Seen started producing work on canvas, shown by galleries and bought by museums and private collectors worldwide. These included not only solo exhibitions but also group shows with artists Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Dondi, Quik, Blade, and Lee Quiñones. Despite such success and constant world travel, Seen continued to paint New York City subway trains until 1989, long after increased pressure from the MTA had stopped many from doing so.

In the late 1980s Seen also undertook tattoo art, opening Tattoo Seen, a tattoo parlor which became one of the most successful studios in New York City. Seen’s more recent work includes three-dimensional sculpture, mixed media work with reclaimed or discarded materials (often found in the street), and a series of hand-painted MTA New York subway maps. He continues to exhibit worldwide and produce work with and alongside artists such as Banksy.

Focused on painting comic book heroes, he has his own clothing line that prints t-shirts with his lettering and comic hero renderings.

Giuseppe Antonio Petrini was a painter of the late-Baroque, active mainly in Lugano, present-day Switzerland. While born in Carona in Canton Ticino and died in Lugano, both in Switzerland, Petrini belongs to the Northern Italian or Lombard heritage of baroque painting. He possibly apprenticed with Bartolomeo Guidobono after 1700. While some works can be found in Como and Bergamo, most are located in Lugano and the surrounding area. He is also listed between 1711 and 1753 as fabbriciere of the church of Madonna d’Onegro in Carona.

He often painted “portraits” of historical figures including saints, philosophers, and scientists for patrons. One of his more prominent examples is his depiction of an auster St. Peter emerging from the shadows to pinpoint some lines in the gospel. He painted another St. Peter for the parish church of Dubino. Pietro Ligari classified him among the speculative painters, since these portraits, by nature, were imagined.

A virtuoso draughtsman, master of drypoint, Paul-César Helleu was also a remarkable painter whose work inscribed in the Impressionist vein is little known to the general public, although during his lifetime he met with immense fame on both sides of Atlantic. Jacques Émile Blanche wrote about him in 1928: “He was the most gifted, Manet, Monet, Renoir, believed him like us…”. However, his name does not appear in any history of impressionist painting…

Adam de Coster was a prominent member of the Antwerp Caravaggisti. These Caravaggisti were part of an international movement of European artists who interpreted the work of Caravaggio and the followers of Caravaggio in a personal manner. He is mainly known for his genre scenes with strong chiaroscuro effects. He was called a Pictor Noctium, in english ‘Painter of Nights’ because of his preference for tenebrist scenes.
