Hans von Aachen
Est: €1,500 - €2,500
Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian oil on canvas, cm. 76x61.5 The painting is documented in the photographic archive of the Zeri Foundation Photo Library (inv. 98668), where it appears attributed to Hans von Aachen, with a handwritten note by Federico Zeri on the back of the photograph.\n\nThe composition clearly derives, especially in the figure of the saint, from the large canvas that Hans von Aachen created for the main altar of the chapel of St. Sebastian in the Jesuit church of St. Michael in Munich. The Bavarian work enjoyed widespread success thanks to the engraving, with some variations, performed by Jan Muller in 1594, which contributed to the diffusion of the model and the birth of numerous contemporary versions, more or less adhering to the original. The painting presented here takes from the Munich canvas, maintaining the same orientation, exclusively the figure of the martyr tied to the trunk and hit by arrows, leaving out the group of archers instead. His armor is depicted at Sebastian's feet, while in the background there is an imaginary view of Rome, the place of martyrdom. In the second floor, the emperor Diocletian appears on horseback, responsible for the condemnation of the saint, in the act of giving the execution order to two pagan soldiers with turbans.

Est: €2,500 - €3,000
Circle of HANS VON AACHEN (Cologne, 1552 - Prague, 1615). "Christ at the tomb of two angels". Oil on oak panel. It presents faults and restorations on the pictorial surface and the board is warped. Measurements: 26 x 34,5 cm. In this work the theme of the lamentation of the body of Christ is expressed in a more intimate way than in previous periods, simplifying the composition and eliminating all possible elements. Thus, the body of the dead Christ articulates the image, located in the center, and behind him are two angels. In the present painting, the characters appear, cut out against a black background that enhances their volumes, only illuminated by two candles behind the face of Christ, so that the scene acquires an atmosphere of theatrical character, as well as revealing the interior of the cave and providing a greater spatial sensation to the scene. The bodies are modeled with an energetic brushstroke, selectively illuminated, a resource that undoubtedly contributes to accentuate the devotional and emotional message contained in the work. The author also manages to masterfully express both the physical pain, through the open wound in Christ's side and his sunken belly. The scene of the lamentation or weeping over the body of the dead Christ is part of the cycle of the Passion, and is interspersed between the Descent from the Cross and the Holy Burial. It is a very emotional theme, fruit of popular piety, which concentrates the attention on the drama of the Passion and the loving and mournful contemplation, with a realistic and moving sense. Hans von Aachen was one of the main representatives of northern mannerism. A versatile and productive artist, he worked in many genres. He was successful as a painter of princely and aristocratic portraits, and also painted religious, mythological and allegorical subjects. Known for his skill in depicting nudes, his eroticized mythological scenes especially pleased his main patron, Emperor Rudolf II, and remain the works for which he is best known. He also painted a series of genre pictures with small groups of figures shown from the chest up, laughing, often, it seems, using himself and his wife as models. Von Aachen tended to work on a small scale and many of his works are cabinet paintings on copper. Hans von Aachen's life and work are a unique testimony to the cultural transfer between northern, southern and central Europe in the late 16th and early 17th centuries After training in the tradition of Dutch Renaissance painting, the artist moved to Italy in 1574, where he remained for some 14 years, working mainly in Venice. In 1587 he returned to his native Germany, where he took up residence in Munich (Bavaria). His last years were spent in Prague. The combination of the Dutch realism of his training and the Italian influences acquired during his travels gave rise to his unique pictorial style. It presents faults and restorations on the pictorial surface and the panel is warped.

Aachen, Hans von: Versuchung des Heiligen Antonius. Federzeichnung
Est: €800 - €1,200
Aachen, Hans von. - Versuchung des Heiligen Antonius. Federzeichnung in schwarzbrauner Tinte, mit Grautönen laviert und mit Weiß gehöht, vermutlich aus dem Umkreis des Malers Hans von Aachen, rechts auf dem Sockel mit dem Monogramm "HvA". 30 x 19,3 cm. Deutschland um 1600. -- Die Heiligenlegende des Antonius bot Künstlern immer wieder die großartige Möglichkeit der Darstellung von Teufeln, Hexen und Monstern par excellence. Erinnert sei nur an die berühmteste Ausführung des Themas im Isenheimer Altar des Matthias Grünewald. -- -- Hier wird der Heilige, der seinen linken Arm auf einen steinernen Sockel gelegt hat, von zwei geflügelten Unholden brutal heimgesucht. Aus den groben, gedunsenen Gesichtern der muskulösen Teufeln wachsen ihnen geschwungene Teufelshörner, während sie mit den Krallen ihren Tatzen den erschrockenen Heiligen nach hinten zerren. Antonius' Blick wirkt ebenso erschrocken wie standhaft grimmig: mit seinem kahlen Kopf, seinem langen weißen Bart, dem in vielen Falten fallenden Gewand und den wehrlos gegen den Betrachter geöffneten Händen scheint er zu weichen und gleichzeitig der Versuchung zu widerstehen, die auch in Form einer Wildsau dargestellt ist, die im Profil von links in das Bild eindringt und eine weitere Bedrohung bedeutet. -- -- Unten an dem Sockel lehnt ein Totenschädel, rechts darüber erscheinen in einem Feld auf weißem Grund die ligierten Buchstaben "HvA" - wie es für den aus Köln stammenden Maler und Zeichner Hans von Aachen (1552-1615) charakteristisch ist, hier freilich in perspektivischer Verkürzung. Auch stilistisch würde das ungefähr passen, auch wenn die Zuschreibung unbedingt wissenschaftlich unterfüttert werden muss. – Das Blatt ist von höchster künstlerischer Qualität, jedoch in recht bedauernswertem Zustand und unbedingt restaurierungsbedürftig. So queren etwa zehn Wasserlauflinien und entsprechenden Flecken das Blatt. Hin und wieder mit Oberflächenberieb und Abschabungen von Tinte und Farbhöhung, gelegentliche winzige Randausbrüche bzw. kleine Einrisschen, unten noch ein ca. 12 mm breiter Papierrand außerhalb der Zeichung, ansonsten rundum bis zur Darstellung beschnitten und auf ein festes Stück Karton montiert. - Provenienz: Mainzer Privatbesitz.

Hans von Aachen oder Werkstatt, Urteil des Paris berühmte mythologischen Szene, nachdem die Göttin der Zwietracht Eris als einzige der olympischen Götter nicht zur Hochzeit des Peleus und der Thetis eingeladen wurde, warf sie einen goldenen Apfel mit der Aufschrift "Der Schönsten" in die Gesellschaft, worauf zwischen Aphrodite, Athene und der Gattin des Zeus Hera ein Streit entbrannte, welcher von ihnen der Apfel gebühre, Zeus entzog sich diplomatisch einer Entscheidung und übertrug dem schönen, jedoch vom Königshof verstoßenen und als Hirte lebenden Königssohn Paris die Beantwortung der Frage, Zeus beauftragt Hermes - hier rechts oben mit geflügelter Kappe und zaubermächtigem Hermesstab dargestellt - den Königssohn herbei zu schaffen, jede der drei spärlich bekleideten Göttinnen versuchte nun, Paris für sich zu gewinnen, Athene - hier links mit abgelegtem Helm und Schild - verspricht Weisheit, Hera - hier rechts dargestellt - verspricht Weltherrschaft und schließlich Aphrodite - hier mittig in Begleitung zweier Eroten dargestellt - versprich Paris die Liebe der schönsten Frau der Welt, hierfür entscheidet sich Paris und gibt ihr den Goldenen Apfel wie rechts im Vordergrund dargestellt - nicht wissend, dass die schönste Frau Helena bereits mit Menelaos von Sparta verheiratet ist - und löst damit die nächste Tragödie, den Trojanischen Krieg aus, links im Hintergrund spielen Quellnymphen und rechts im Vordergrund lagert ein Flussgott mit Spaten, die der griechischen Mythologie zufolge sich dem Willen Eros unterwarfen, das vorliegende Motiv schuf Hans von Aachen spiegelverkehrt, teils mit geringen Variationen, dazu erfuhr das Motiv breite Popularität durch die Kupferstiche von Raphael Sadeler von 1589, gering pastose, partiell lasierende Genremalerei, Öl auf Leinwand, unsigniert, Craquelure, doubliert, alte Retuschen, etwas restaurierungsbedürftig, gerahmt (bestoßen), Falzmaße ca. 49 x 63 cm.
