Osoba, która czyściła ten obraz robiła to trochę z głową zostawiając nienaruszoną signaturę. Praca OK ale już wyrażałem swoją opinie o zopfach.

===============================

Lot 74. Jan van Chelminski (1851-1925), Riders in the Park, Paris, circa 190. Oil on canvas. Polish genre, hunting and war artist. Signed lower left ‘Jan V. Chelminski’. Verso with unfinished sketch of an officer on horseback. Ornamental gold frame with plaque. Dimensions: 41 x 51 cm. Provenance: Private collection, Switzerland.

A classic motif for Chelminski; comparable equestrian subjects by the artist fetch up to €14,500 on the international auction market.

The present painting by Jan van Chelminski was created around 1900 and depicts a young woman on horseback before a small forested area. She is wearing a splendid red costume decorated with rich gold trimmings, which hints at her high social status. In the left background one discern another figure on horseback, presumably her suitor whom she has only just seen off. Van Chelminski painted mainly riders and battle scenes from the Napoleonic campaigns as well as genre or hunting scenes, which enjoyed particular appreciating among the members of the upper classes.
The work is in restored condition. The surface is heavily cleaned with rubbed off color, except in the area around signature, where the old varnish is still preserved. There are retouchings to the background, the horse and the figure. The frame shows some wear. The framed work measures 56 x 66 cm, the stretcher frame measures 41 x 51 cm.

Jan van Chelminski (1851-1925)
Chelminski studied at the Warsaw drawing school and was a pupil of the painter and draftsman Juliusz Kossak. In 1874 he moved to Munich where he attended the Academy of Fine Art as a student of Józef Brandt and the battle and horse painter Franz Adam. From 1876 onwards Chelminski participated in exhibitions in Munich, Berlin, Vienna, London and Paris. He was primarily a war painter but his genre and hunting paintings were especially sought after by members of the upper classes. Chelminski traveled to the UK, Paris and St. Petersburg before eventually settling in New York. Estimate €2,400 – €3,000. Auctionata. 10/6/14.

Chelminski

Bardzo zgrabna i poprawna scenka rodzajowa pędzla Chełmińskiego ale ‘zopfy’ teraz już myszką trącą (na coś trzeba przecież ponarzekać!).

Dobry obraz Jana Chełmińskiego namalowany już w USA, gdy wżenił się tam bogato (z miłości?) i mogł malować co chciał i kiedy chciał nie martwiąc się już o byt artysty. Taki Wojciech Kossak miotający się często w USA w okresie międzywojennym, machający wówczas pędzlem kogo się dało i gdzie się dało i odwiedzający państwo Chełmińskich w Nowym Yorku, chyba zżymał się w środku na tę wymarzoną i nieosiągalną dla siebie sytuację.

Ten obraz widziałem stosunkowo niedawno, chyba właśnie przed rokiem i również w Doyle na jednej z poprzednich aukcji, ale spadł. Wydaje mi się, że $30,000 to trochę za dużo bo sceny napoleońskie straciły mocno na emocjach rodaków.

Darowałbym sobie doylowskie katalogowe ‘van’ lub ‘von’ przed nazwiskiem Chełmińskiego bo w USA to teraz śmieć a jedynie ponad 100 lat temu pracując w Niemczech podkreślał artysta w ten sposób swoje szlacheckie a nie chamskie pochodzenie.

==================================

Lot 18. Jan Van Chelminski. Polish, 1851-1925. Napoleon Passing through the Guadarrama Mountains, 1808. Signed Jan V. Chelminski (ll); inscribed Hazel Hortman on the stretcher. Oil on canvas; 30 5/8 x 39 5/8 inches (77.8 x 100.6 cm)

There is a painting entitled The Crossing of the Guadarrama Pass, Campaign in Spain, 1808 listed in a catalogue of an exhibition at M. Knoedler & Co., New York, Military Pictures of the French, Russian, Polish and British Armies by J.V. Chelminski. The exhibition was held from Jan. 31 to Feb. 12, 1916. The painting is listed as no. 20. Chelminski’s second wife, Leonia, was the daughter of New York art dealer, Michael Knoedler.

Chelminski chose to depict Napoleon’s advance through the Somosierra Pass in the Guadarrama Mountains on the morning of November 30, 1808. Napoleon’s troops, shown hunched and braced against the frigid morning air, follow closely behind their intrepid leader up the frozen pass towards the Spanish contingent. Such carefully observed effects as these made Chelminski one of the great history painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Property of a New York Collector. Estimate $30,000-50,000.
