Bibliographie : en rapport : Léon Séché, 'Muses romantiques. Hortense Allart de méritens, dans ses rapports avec Chateaubriand, Béranger, Lamennais, Sainte-Beuve, G. Sand, Mme D'Agoult', Paris, 1898 'Nouvelles lettres à Sainte-Beuve, 1832-1864 : les lettres de la collection Lovenjoul', Paris, 1965, p.52, note 5 Jorgen Birkedal Hartmann, "La triade italiana del Thorvaldsen. Alcune considerazioni su temi mitologici e cristiani ", in 'Antologia di Belle Arti', 1984, n° 23-24, p. 90-115 'Bertel Thorvaldsen 1770-1844, scultore danese a Roma', cat. exp. Rome, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, 1989, - 1990, p.17, 20, 23, 101-102, 111, 113, 124, 129, 313, 331 Commentaire : " Religieux, prélat, poète ensemble, sévère et satyrique, il réunissait des qualités, frappantes et opposées ", tels sont les mots avec lesquels l'écrivain Hortense Allart décrit son premier amant Anthony Sampayo dans son roman publié grâce à Chateaubriand dans les années 1830. Opposés sont aussi ce portrait à l'Antique, figé dans le marbre, pétri d'un esprit néoclassique pur et sévère et la vie tumultueuse de ce fils d'ancien consul général de Portugal en Angleterre. Né à Cork en 1785, notre homme, fervent catholique, a non seulement été l'époux de Blanche Liévine Sophie Buffault, nièce de la célèbre Laure Guesnon de Bonneuil, comtesse Regnault de Saint-Jean d'Angély, mais aussi le premier amant et le héros du deuxième roman de Hortense Allart, grande femme de lettres de la veine romantique. Il rencontre son épouse puis sa maîtresse à l'abbaye de Val qui n'est autre que la demeure de la comtesse. " Ma jeunesse a été formée par Sampayo, un grand esprit, au dire de ceux qui l'ont connu, mais un esprit dédaigneux qui, à part la politique et le sublime, ne voyait rien. " écrit Hortense à son ami intime, l'écrivain Sainte-Beuve des années plus tard. Quittant la France et son amant alors qu'elle est enceinte quelques mois après leur rencontre, cette jeune femme libre et passionnée gardera toute sa vie une admiration sans faille pour cet aristocrate délicat. Sampayo a très certainement été familiarisé au " Sublime " de l'art grâce aux liens qui l'unissaient aux Saint Jean d'Angely, eux même proches de la famille impériale, amateurs d'art, collectionneurs, et même bienfaiteurs du sculpteur Bartolini. Lors d'un séjour à Rome, Sampayo rencontre le célèbre sculpteur danois Thorvaldsen en 1833 à qui il commande pour son frère un 'Amour'. Les archives Thovaldsen (m18 1833, nr. 116) mentionnent également plusieurs autres œuvres commandées à " son élève et ami Mr. Bienaimé ", un " saint Jean ", et un "premier buste". Les archives sont lacunaires et nous n'avons pas trouvé mention du " deuxième buste " qui permettrait de déterminer si notre portrait est précisément celui d'Anthony ou de son frère. Cette information dans les archives met en exergue les liens étroits qui unissent le célèbre sculpteur danois, chef de fil du néoclassicisme à Rome avec Luigi Bienaimé. Né à Carrare, Bienaimé commence en tant qu'élève puis devient le chef de l'atelier de Thorvaldsen. Ce dernier l'encourage aussi à exercer son art de manière indépendante, comme en témoigne notre commande réalisée probablement vers 1833 avant la mort du sculpteur danois (1844). Ils partagent alors les mêmes commanditaires, ici le comte de Sampayo, mais aussi le duc de Devonshire (copies d'antiques pour le jardin de Chatsworth House), le tsar Nicolas Ier ('Portrait du Tsar', 1846, marbre, Saint-Pétersbourg, musée de l'Ermitage, n°inv. ?.??-1363) ou encore le prince Alessandro Torlonia ('Vénus', 1842, Rome, Palazzo Corsini). Ce rare portrait identifié de l'artiste Bienaimé témoigne de l'empreinte de son maître Thorvaldsen par la synthèse, l'épure et la force froide de ce buste à l'antique. Estimation 3 000 - 4 000 €

soldApr. 20, 2005LUIGI BIENAIMÉ ITALIAN, 1795-1878 THE INFANT ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST
Est: £12,000 - £18,000the banner inscribed: AGNUS. DEI white marble CATALOGUE NOTE Although unsigned, this is a very fine quality carving of Bienaimé's well-known Infant St. John the Baptist. Another example, dated 1836, is in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, and a third version dated three years earlier appeared in these rooms as lot 62, 12 May 1995. Bienaimé is best known as one of the most dedicated of Throvaldsen's assistants. His style was fundamentally influenced by the great Danish sculptor, but achieved a marked individuality by a certain degree of eclecticism. While Thorvaldsen's relief of the Madonna and Child with the Infant St. John, excecuted as part of a baptismal font in 1805-7, seems to be the starting point for Bienaimé's Infant St. John, one of the most striking sources for this figure is Michelangelo's masterpiece, The Risen Christ, 1519-20, in Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, Rome. Both works show a standing figure in contraposto and supporting a crucifix. Bienaimé in no way emulates Michelangelo's complex pose or wonderful anatomical treatment, but the slight twist to his figure and the fluid handling of the fleece do suggest that he was aware of this famous late Renaissance sculpture.

Est: -W.J. LYSLEY AND CAROLINE LYSLEY, A PAIR OF BUSTS Each inscribed with the name of the sitter, dated and signed Roma 1829 A. Thorwaldsen. L. Bienaime F. White marble, on socles 73 cm (28 1/2 in) (2) Provenance: Baldwin-Wallace College, Berea, Ohio, 1907 William John Lysley (1792-1873), the only son of William Lysley (d.1792), became a barrister in 1825. In 1829 he married and went on the Grand Tour with his bride. He was made sheriff of Hertfordshire in 1851 and the Member of Parliament for Chippenham eight years later. A Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, he died at St. Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex. While visiting Rome, William Lysley commissioned portraits of himself and his wife from Thorvaldsen's highly respected studio. The studios of the leading sculptors in Rome were large, traditional workshops. In addition to the numerous routine carvers, technicians and aspiring students, the Master relied on a few established sculptors to assist in the important final stages of a commission and to take charge of the practical management of the workforce. Thorvaldsen was aided in this capacity by three sculptors: Pietro Tenerani, Pietro Galli and Luigi Bienaime. Bienaime went to Rome in 1818 on a scholarship from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Carrara. He immediately entered Thorvaldsen's studio where his technical competence and total adherence to his master's style took him to the top of the studio hierarchy within nine years. Bienaime worked for Thorvaldsen for two decades. After the Danish sculptor's death in 1844, he inherited the unfinished commissions and the running of the workshop. From 1820 Bienaime executed sculptures in his own right, with St John the Baptist, (1820, Metropolitan Museum, New York) The Guardian Angel and Innocence amongst his best known works. Bienaime's busts of Mr and Mrs Lysley show that by 1829 Thorvaldsen was entrusting him with entire commissions and allowing their names to stand side by side. Thorvaldsen made over 178 busts and it is clear that he found this task increasingly onorous. "Again and again we find him complaining that his busts occupied too much of his time and took him away from what he considered his proper task, namely to create statues and reliefs. As he gradually became financially independent of the orders for portraits, he declined many, and from the 1820's, the period of his greatest monuments, the number of portrait busts he made dwindled rapidly.' (E. Kai Sass, op.cit.) Comparison of Bienaime's busts of the Lysleys with Thorvaldsen's busts of John Campbell, Lord and Lady Glenorchy of the same period, illustrates how closely the former has adhered to his master's style. Indeed Bienaime, perhaps with more time and enthusiasm, has made the bust of Mrs Lysley more elaborate than is common in Thorvaldsen's manner. Comparative Literature: E.
