Lot 1471. Portraitmaler des 16./17.Jh., “Stephan IV Báthory, König von Polen”, Öl/Kupfer, 18 x 15, R. Opening 300 euro. Von Zengen. 11/22/24. Sold 5,500 euro
NIewielki olej na blasze miedzianej przedstawiający polskiego króla Stefana Batorego był przedmiotem aukcji w Niemczech. Praca może wyglądać iż powstałą w epoce panowania króla i jest bardzo podobna (może nawet lepsza) do znanego portretu wykonanego przez Marcina Kobera ok 1580 r. (poniżej) o nieco mniejszych wymiarach, będącego w muzealnej kolekcji w Wiedniu. Nawet sam Baciarelli namalował bardzo ‘mięsisty’ portret tego króla, wzorując sie pewnie nieco na innych znanych mu obrazach, kierując się jednak w malowaniu własną estetyką i wyobraźnią. Znanych jest również wiele jest innych portretów tego króla. Obraz z domy Von Zengen warty był zainteresowania i został słusznie zauważony.

Wizerunek portetowanego jest przypisany Konstantemu Sobieskiemu, synowi Jana III Sobieskiego. Artysta, który malował jest przedni i może dlatego Muzeum w Wilanowie zainteresuje się tym obrazem.
Bibliography: Exhibition catalog 1704 Le Salon, les Arts et Le Roi, Sceaux, Musée de l’Ile-de-France, Domaine départemental de Sceaux, March-June 2013, no. 114, reproduced in color. Monsieur Dominique Brême dates the painting to circa 1720, based on the “free and flamboyant execution of the draperies” and the use of “colors that play on the vivid contrast of the orange-pink of the leotard and the duck-blue of the sash”. The “verticalisation of the pose, the supple wiggle of the bust and the model’s gaze ostensibly turned outwards”, enable him to compare our painting with the Portrait de Jean-François de Troy painted by François de Troy around 1716-1719 (known from the print by Simon Vallée, see the booklet published for the exhibition François de Troy 1645-1730, Sceaux, musée de l’Ile-de-France, July 23 – October 13, 1997, G28, reproduced).
Painted around 1720, our painting could be considered a posthumous portrait of the prince (probably painted after his death in 1726). So our painting cannot be the one exhibited in 1704, as has been suggested in the past. Constantin Sobieski was the third son of John III Sobieski, King of the Polish-Lithuanian Union from 1674 to 1696 and a national hero for his victory over the Turks. King Jean III Sobieski married Marie Casimire Louise de La Grange d’Arquen on July 5, 1665, and received the Order of the Holy Spirit in Poland on November 30, 1676. Marie-Casimire and Jean III are buried in Krakow’s Wawel Castle. Constantin Sobieski receives the Order of the Holy Spirit in Rome in the Church of Saint Louis on December 19, 1700. One of his portraits, formerly attributed to Hyacinthe Rigaud, is preserved in the Palace Museum of King Jan III in Wilanow.

Kilka portretów polskich rodzin królewskiech z nadchodzących aukcji. Katarzyna Opalińska (1680 – 1747) była żoną króla Stanisława Leszczyńskiego. Jej dwa portrety, w tym miniatura znajdują sę na rynku francuskim. Obok królowej, widzimy również portret Stanisława Leszczyńskiego (1677 – 1766). Te trzy prace są wycenione dość przystepnie. Natomiast mam wątpliwości co do portretu Augusta II Mocnego (1670 – 1733) w Schloss Ahlden w Niemczech. Ten dom aukcyjny wielokrotnie już sprzedawał falsyfikaty polskiego malarstwa i nabija ceny estymacyjne pod niebiosa .

Portrait of August the Strong as August II. King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania and as Frederick August I Elector of Saxony
Lot 2266. David Hoyer (1667 Auerswalde – 1720 Leipzig) attr; Portrait of August the Strong as August II. King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania and as Frederick August I Elector of Saxony This representative portrait, painted around 1700, depicts August the Strong (1670 – 1733) as a young king shortly after his acquisition of the Polish royal dignity in 1697, by which he not only achieved a significant increase in rank as crowned head, but also secured greater political sovereignty. This is also expressed in this painting. August the Strong had himself depicted with a shoulder-length allonge wig in a breastplate, wearing a red ermine cloak embroidered with golden royal crowns. As a symbol of his power and rank, a royal crown and an imperial orb are also depicted on his right. At the same time, Augustus the Strong demonstrates his power as a general by holding a corresponding staff in his right hand, while a battle scene with a horseman is indicated in the background. This could be seen in reference to the Nordic War fought in 1700-1721 for supremacy in the Baltic region, in which the Saxon-Polish army under August the Strong also participated in alliance with Tsar Peter I of Russia against Sweden. Only a few paintings by the portrait painter David Hoyer have survived, mostly only engravings after his portraits. Hoyer studied under the Bohemian portraitist Johann Kupetzky; as a sought-after artist, he worked not only for the Saxon-Polish royal and electoral court, but also for Brandenburg-Prussia and Hesse-Cassel.

Portret Marysieńki, kopia obrazu pochodząca z attelier FRANÇOIS HYACINTHE RIGAUD (1659 – 1743). Gdzie jest oryginał? Czy Muzeum w Wilanowie posiada kopię tej pracy?
Lot 62. Atelier of FRANÇOIS HYACINTHE RIGAUD (Perpignan, 1659-1743). Portrait of Marie Casimira. Oil on canvas. Size: 130 x 104 cm. The psychological capture of deep character in the look, the point of view represented in the scene, the sumptuousness in the details of the clothes and objects, and the use of the colours between lights and shadows allow us to place the author of this work in an environment close to the school of the great French painter Hyacinthe Rigaud (1659-1743), one of the best portrait painters associated to the era of Louis XIV. He made an outstanding contribution to French painting from 1688 onwards. He was particularly noted for his portrait art, depicting members of the French royal family. Notable, for example, is his famous state portrait of “Louis XIV at Coronation Robes” (1701, Louvre, Paris), one of the finest Baroque paintings of the French court. Rigaud’s broad, vigorous style and the way he relied on the nobility of posture and splendour of his models were the basis of his success. Indeed, he is the creator of an original genre, that of the “portrait of pomp” which spread through the European courts of the first half of the 18th century. Examples of his great output can be seen in some of the finest art museums in Europe and North America. For details of other famous artists and master craftsmen active in France during his day, see: French Baroque Artists (c.1600-1700) and French Decorative Designers (c.1640-1792). The pictorial quality of the work is superb. It shows great mastery of the portrait genre. It is thought to have been executed in Rigaud’s own workshop, which, due to the multitude of royal and noble commissions at the time, had a large number of artists in its employ who worked on the completion of these portraits. Marie-Casimira Louise De La Grange was known by the nickname of “Marysie?ka”. She was born in Nevers (centre of France) on 28 June 1641 and died in Blois (France) on 1 January 1716.) She was Queen consort of Poland and Grand Duchess consort of Lithuania as the wife of John III of Poland from 1674 to 1696. She was the daughter of Henri Albert De La Grange d’arquien and Françoise de La Châtre.

Pierwszy z trzech portretów polskiej arystokracji na aukcji czerwcowej w Sotheby’s. Portret księcia Józefa Poniatowskiego został przypisany Józefowi Kosińskiemu. Na odwrociu płótna, nazwisko osoby namalowanej chyba jednak nie jest cyrylicą, jak sugeruje Sotheby’s, a kombinacją. Dodatkowo, obraz posiada jakieś numery inwentarzowe mogące sugerować obecnośc w zbiorach. Frapuje mnie brak informacji o proweniencji i mam nadzieję, że obecność tej pracy na rynku nie jest wynikiem wojny na Ukrainie. Obraz niewątpliwie warty grzechu.
Józef Antoni Poniatowski was the son of Andrzej Poniatowski, whose portrait by Bacciarelli is in this sale (lot 191); he was also the nephew of King Stanislaw II Augustus (see lot 190), and in 1798 inherited from him a large part of his paintings collection.
Józef Antoni Poniatowski is here wearing the uniform of a major general in the army of the Duchy of Warsaw: a blue coat with a red collar embroidered with gold, embellished with epaulettes. Two medals are visible on his chest. The first is the military Order of Virtuti Militari, created in Poland in 1792 to reward courage in the face of the enemy. The second is the Grand Eagle of the Légion d’Honneur, a decoration awarded from 1805 onwards.
Several portraits of Józef Antoni Poniatowski in a general’s uniform are known to us, and they can be dated from his decorations: in the present painting the epaulettes are plain, whereas in the portrait painted by Antoni Brodowski, they bear the crossed batons of a field marshal. Our portrait is therefore earlier than this promotion, which he received during the Napoleonic Wars.
Józef Antoni Poniatowski died a hero in 1813 during the battle of Leipzig.
