Orientalist Art Lots 1 - 23 1 FRENCH SCHOOL (EARLY 19TH CENTURY) Portrait of a Dragoman, possibly François Chabert oil on paper on a linen support, unframed 58.5 x 45cm (23 1/16 x 17 11/16in). £1,000 - 1,500 €1,100 - 1,600 $1,300 - 1,900 An inscription on the linen-backing of the present lot reads ‘François Chabert/2d Dragoman to British Emb.’ It identifies the sitter of this portrait as François (Francis) Chabert. He had a long career (over 50 years) as a dragoman in Istanbul, most notably for the British Embassy. The Chabert family, originating from France and involved in the ship- building industry, had been living in Istanbul since circa 1600. As well as dragomans, members of the family were also apothecaries, physicians, and jewellers. Alexander H de Groot, in his paper titled Dragomans’ careers: Change of Status in Some Families Connected with the British and Dutch Embassies at Istanbul 1785-1829 provides historical background on the sitter: ‘[François] was director of the Polish Oriental Academy in Pera (where he had been trained himself) from 1792 to 1795. On the closure of the embassy and the academy he took up employment as dragoman in the British Embassy. He became 1st Dragoman in 1824, when he succeeded his brother-in-law Barthélemy Pisani, and he retained his position until 1855.’ This portrait - executed when Chabert, resplendent in his Turkish uniform, was 2nd Dragoman - can therefore be dated prior to his promotion in 1824. By all accounts, he was an audacious character; in 1825 he was accused of sharing embassy secrets with the Prussians, and he did not adhere to sartorial reforms, ordered by Sultan Mahmud II, to wear more westernised dress. Dragomans (often locally sourced) were interpreters, official guides, translators and political advisors, acting as liaisons between embassies and the Chief Dragoman - senior interpreter of the Ottoman government and de facto deputy foreign minister. Ambassadors relied heavily on dragomans for meetings with Sultans and their ministers. They played a key and delicate role in passing knowledge and ideas between the Ottoman Empire and the West.

ORIENTALIST ART | 9 2* EUGÈNE DELACROIX (FRENCH, 1798-1863) Study of two Greeks stamped with initials ‘E.D’ (lower left) watercolour and bodycolour heightened with gum arabic and gold paint 13 x 12cm (5 1/8 x 4 3/4in). Executed circa 1823-1824 £15,000 - 20,000 €16,000 - 22,000 $19,000 - 25,000 The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Brame and Lorenceau. It will be included in the forthcoming Catalogue Numérique of Eugène Delacroix, currently in preparation. Provenance Private collection, Switzerland. The present lot was painted at a time when Delacroix, like many of his contemporaries, was fascinated by the plight of the Greeks, trying to liberate themselves from the grip of the Ottoman Empire. As Sébastien Allard & Côme Fabre note, the Greek War of Independence ‘was on everyone’s mind, and young people, following the example of the British poet-adventurer Lord Byron, were caught up in philhellenic enthusiasm’. The subject preoccupied much of Delacroix’s work in the early 1820s - when the present lot was painted - culminating in his major Salon exhibit of 1824, Scenes from the Massacre at Chios, a vast painting which Delacroix had worked on for several years; having commenced the project - which depicts an atrocity of 1822, when Ottoman forces slaughtered and enslaved thousands of Greeks – in early 1823, Delacroix ‘acted with a great deal of discernment in postponing the execution of his idea’ until he was confident that ‘though the official French position was still not decided, there was reason to hope that the country would side with the Greeks’1. The present lot closely relates to the work of Joseph Cartwright, who like Delacroix, was particularly interested in costumes from Greece and Asia Minor. Some of Cartwright’s drawings were engraved by Robert Havell and published in 1822, in a book titled Selection of the Costume of Albania and Greece. Both figures in the present lot, were likely inspired by two plates published in this book. Delacroix also produced a watercolour, brush and brown ink study (with these two figures amongst others) which was included in an exhibition at Colnaghi’s in 2003, the sheet was titled Study of Three Albanian Arnavuts and a Woman in Albanian Costume. The present lot also makes an interesting comparison with A Greek and a Turk in an Interior, painted later in the 1820s (private collection, exhibited at the Delacroix exhibition, New York, 2018, cat. no. 35). 1 Sébastien Allard & Côme Fabre, Delacroix, New York, 2018, pp. 15- 17. For details of the charges payable in addition to the final Hammer Price of each Lot 10 | BONHAMS please refer to paragraphs 7 & 8 of the Notice to Bidders at the back of the catalogue.

Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.

  • Global Vistas: American Art and Internationalism in the Gilded Age
    Global Vistas: American Art and Internationalism in the Gilded Age Nicole Williams Honorary Guest Scholar and Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow (2019–2020) in the Department of Art History & Archaeology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis Global Vistas: American Art and Internationalism in the Gilded Age explores the importance of international travel and exchange to American art of the late nineteenth century, a period of transition for the United States marked by the rise of global trade, international tourism, massive waves of immigration, and forces of orientalism and imperialism. Through a selection of paintings, prints, photographs, and decorative arts from the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, as well as other collections at Washington University in St. Louis, this Teaching Gallery exhibition reveals how Americans increasingly defined their nation by looking to the foreign cultures and landscapes of Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Caribbean basin. They imbued their art with a modern, multicultural spirit that also announced the country’s emerging status as a global power. In the decades following the Civil War, many Americans eagerly turned away from recent violence at home toward new vistas of adventure and opportunity abroad. A boom in international travel was facilitated by improvements to communication and transportation networks, such as the laying of the first transatlantic cable, the completion of the transcontinental railroad, the opening of the Suez Canal, and the introduction of regular steamship service between San Francisco and Yokohama, Japan. Young American artists flocked to study in Europe’s great art centers, often staying overseas for many years and establishing vibrant expatriate communities.

He started his apprenticeship at the Beaux-Arts of Parma, under the supervision of Paolo Toschi. During his three learning years, Alberto Pasini specialized in landscapes painting and then mainly composed drawings and lithography. In 1851, the political situation of Italy pushed the young twenty years old Pasini to leave for Paris. There, he met Eugène Delacroix, Gabriel Decamps and many other painters from the Barbizon school. During his first participation to the French Salon of Art in 1853, he exhibited a lithography named The evening that was soon to be noticed by Théodore Chassériau who offered him to join his studio. There, he reinforced his oil painting technique, and most importantly showed an eager interest for orientalist subjects. Then, in 1855, Chassériau proposed him to replace him in a journey in Persia along with French diplomat Prosper Bourée. The painter stayed there for two years and received numerous orders from the Shah.

  • European Art & Old Masters: 500 Years (1624) Lot 14
    European Art & Old Masters: 500 Years (1624) February 27, 2019 EDT Lot 14 Estimate: $25000 - $40000 (plus Buyer's Premium) ALBERTO PASINI (ITALIAN 1826-1899) THE BLACKSMITH'S COURTYARD Signed 'A. Pasini' bottom left, oil on canvas 9 5/8 x 7 5/8 in. (24.4 x 19.4cm) Provenance: Private Collection, Pennsylvania. NOTE: Although trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Parma, Italian-born artist Alberto Pasini moved to Paris in 1851 to refine his technique. There, he befriended other artists including Eugéne Fromentin (1820-1876), Jules Dupré (1811- 1889) and Théodore Rousseau (1812-1867), all of whom contributed to the development of his palette and plein-air philosophy. In 1853, the artist was admitted to the Paris Salon, which enabled him to join the workshop of the famous painter Théodore Chassériau (1819-1856), who introduced him to Orientalism. When Chassériau was too ill to accompany Ambassador Nicolas Prosper Bourée (1811-1886) on a diplomatic mission to Persia in February 1855, Pasini replaced him, thus embarking on the first of many journeys to the East, including memorable stops in Turkey and Egypt. Back in Paris, his artistic qualities were quickly acknowledged. His dazzling depictions of bazaars, market places and mosques made him a fortune, and he earned several honors such as the Légion d'Honneur in 1878. Of Pasini, critic Virgilio Colombo said: "[He] faithfully reproduces the architectural accessories, which sparkle in the sun and bathe in the blue shadows: in this, he is unrivaled and shows extraordinary ingenuity to create huge painting in small canvases. What skill in painting (...) thoughtful knights, with sumptuous trappings, damask-decorated weapons, kiosks, market and military camps, the intimate recesses of the harem, the profiles of city with jagged spires and minarets (...) The oriental scenes are exquisitely treated." Featured in the present lot are four gentlemen caring for their horses at the blacksmith's shop.

  • Orientalism in the General Cultural Background of the 19Th Century Austria
    Orientalism in the general cultural background of the 19th century Austria Literary encounters Austria vs. Orient include 1/ translations of literary works, originally written in Oriental languages 2/ literary works inspired by Oriental environment, history, or Oriental literary works, paralleling what Byron and his contemporaries, etc. meant for Anglo-Saxon environment 3/ travelogues, travel accounts regarding Oriental countries. The Orientalist scholars of Austrian origin contributed significantly in point 1/ – i.e. translations of original works of Oriental – Persian, Arab, Turkish, literature into a European language – in this case German. Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall {1774 – 1856} was himself inspired with the oriental themes, and as a person of personal literary ambitions, he left a high-profiled translation Diwan des Hafis –a short quotation can show us Hammer’s interpreter’s abilities: Mohammed Schemsed-din Hafis (Übersetzung: Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall) Aus: Der Buchstabe Ja LXIV. (64) Meiner Sehnsucht Trauerkleid Schrieb ich auf, die Thränen floßen, Komm' denn, ohne dich bin ich Ganz entseelt von Gram und Leiden. Sehnsuchtsvoll nach dir entflammt Sprach ich oft zum blut'gen Auge, Stete meiner Selma sag', Sage, wo ist deine Selma! Aeußerst wunderlich fürwahr, Und ein nie gehörtes Ding wär's, Wenn der Mörder selbst den Schmerz Des Ermordeten beklagte. Darf sich Einer unterstehn, Deinen reinen Saum zu schmähen? Rein bist du wie Tropfen Thau's, Die auf Rosenblättern hangen. Von dem Staube deines Gau's, Gab der Herr der Ros' und Tulpe Glanz, als Er am Schöpfungstag' Erd' und Wasser formend mischte.

  • Padovanino, Fautore Di Una Rea- Zione Accademica E Tizianesco-Classicistica Agli Eccessi Della Pittura Tardomanierista
    P Paál, László (Zám 1846 - Charenton 1879). Studiò all’Accademia di Vienna. Una mostra tenuta nel palazzo del ghiaccio di Monaco (1869) gli rivelò l’arte di Courbet e dei pittori di Barbizon. Nel 1870 si trovava nei Paesi Bassi; successivamente operò a Düsseldorf. Invitato da Munkác- sy, suo amico, si recò nel 1873 in Francia dove visse fino alla morte. I suoi paesaggi, influenzati dalla scuola di Bar- bizon, hanno una sobria veemenza che rammenta l’arte di Munkácsy, e si segnalano per il tono sincero e tragico e l’esecuzione sobria e accurata: In fondo al bosco, 1873; Pioppo, 1875 (Museo di Budapest). È pure rappresentato nei musei di Düsseldorf (km) e dell’Aja (Mesdag). (dp). Paalen, Wolfgang (Vienna 1905 - Messico 1959). Formatosi presso Julius Meier-Graefe e Hans Hofmann, studiò pittura in Italia e a Berlino prima di stabilirsi in Francia nel 1928. Attratto sulle prime dal gruppo Abstraction-Création, aderì nel 1935 al surrealismo. Notato da Roland Penrose e Chri- stian Zervos in occasione di una mostra alla Gall. Vignon (Parigi 1934), fu ammesso a collaborare ai «Cahiers d’art». Dal 1938 praticò il procedimento del fumage (in- terpretazione delle tracce lasciate dalla fiamma di una candela), da cui trasse effetti assai vicini a quanto più tardi verrà definito «astrattismo lirico» (Autofago, 1938: Parigi, coll. priv.). I suoi dipinti sono una sorta di incubi fantastici ove compaiono forme disarticolate, personaggi disincarnati (Paesaggio pietrificato, 1938: Parigi, coll. Le- febvre-Foinet; Combattimento tra i principi saturnini III, 1938: Parigi, coll. Jacques Tronche). Ha partecipato all’il- Storia dell’arte Einaudi lustrazione dei Canti di Maldoror di Lautréamont (1938).
