\nWe commence the auction with a selection of Old Masters in which a strong selfportrait of an artist immediately catches the eye. The canvas, by a hitherto unknown painter from the Southern Netherlands, comes from an English collection and remained in a Brussels collection for decades afterwards. From the same family come a pair of panels attributed to David III Ryckaert, depicting two of the deadly sins, and furthermore there is work by Barend Gael, Jacob Van Es (attr.) or still to Andrea del Sarto.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”bottom” el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/6″][vc_single_image image=”6583″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”bottom” css=”.vc_custom_1674642852810{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;}” el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text]Classic and Romantic<\/strong>
\nThe emphasis in this small auction is more on 19th-century paintings. Besides works by Belgian masters such as Eug\u00e8ne and Louis Verboeckhoven and Gustave Colsoulle, the works on offer include a pair of dancing noblemen and noblewomen by Polish Romantic Ladislaus Bakalowicz, who emigrated to France, and a pair of city views of Antwerp and Cologne by Wake Cheltenham, dating from 1872. A \u2018Southern Italian village scene with figures at stall and rock massif in the distance\u2019 by Frenchman Alfred de Curzon, an 1887 \u2018Letter\u2019 by Prussian Briton Otto Leyde or a charming genre scene \u2018Comparing notes\u2019 by Briton Thomas Musgrave Joy, who died young, are also among the better work in this session. An early work by Godefroid Guffens and a splendour of a \u2018Fig Picking\u2019 by Charlemagne Oscar Guet close the list of Romanticists.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”5648″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1674642827985{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;}” el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”5438″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text]Voyage en Italie<\/strong>
\nA lover of classical antiquity then collected in his flat in Forest (Brussels) \u2018vedute\u2019 by master engraver Piranesi, 19th-century \u2018Grand Tour\u2019 artefacts based on the Greco-Roman period and a dozen Italian city and country views, delicately painted in gouache. For instance, five are by Swiss-Italian draughtsman Salomon Corrodi, who devoted himself to depictions in and around Rome, Genoa, Bergamo, Como and Naples, and there are other sheets by Jacob Hackert, Johan Blueler or even Guiseppe Scoppa.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” css=”.vc_custom_1674642865269{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;}” el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]An amusing eye-catcher is also a sculpture by an artist depicted as Midas, with donkey ears. The artist, Frenchman Jean-Joseph Carri\u00e8s (1855-1894), deliberately makes a fool of himself by portraying himself as a faun or as the legendary Phrygian king. Indeed, he thought of himself as foolish, bestial and uncivilised.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5706″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″ equal_height=”yes” el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text]Mantel sets and antiques<\/strong>
\nWhile Hippolyte Moreau and Marcel D\u00e9but are present with sculpture in this auction, it will be the eight three-piece 19th-century Napoleon III mantelpieces in Louis XIV or Louis XV style that will gather the most attention.
\nTo conclude, we also touch upon an Amsterdam longcase clock with ship\u2019s mechanism of c. 1740-1768, some impressive armorial trophies, some obiits, a 17th-century Italian devotional panel without forgetting to mention a late Ming bottle-shaped vase and a fishbowl.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”5710″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/6″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
