Benjamin Gerritsz Cuyp, The Rest on the Flight into Egypt
Est: €16,000 - €18,000
Signed lower right: cuyp This work is a highlight in the oeuvre of the Dordrecht painter Benjamin Cuyp. The artist was trained by his half-brother Jacob Cuyp, but the spontaneous brushwork and chiaroscuro effects of his works reveal the influence of Rembrandt, especially from his early period in Leiden. This painting is executed with strong, impasto brushstrokes and rich chiaroscuro effects. It was probably painted in the 1630s, early in the artist's career, when he was at his most innovative. It can be related to a painting by Cuyp with the same subject and similar treatment kept in the Musée Municipal in Soissons. Cuyp seems to have been inspired by two paintings by Rembrandt with the same subject, one from 1627 in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Tours, the other from 1634 in a private collection, which depict a full moon and a lantern comparable those shown in this work. This painting was part of the celebrated collection of the Bavarian-born Jewish banker Adolphe Schloss (1842–1910), who moved to France and obtained citizenship in 1871. His collection was one of the most famous in fin-de siècle Paris. Although it contained paintings by such giants as Rembrandt, Rubens and Hals, it was especially praised by connoisseurs for the outstanding works by ‘minor’ masters, such as the present work by Cuyp. The painting was acquired in the summer of 1910 and must be one of the last works to have entered the collection, as Schloss died on 31 December of the same year. The work was obtained via an art dealer from the equally famed collection assembled by Jules Porgès (1839–1921), a Paris-based financier, who was one of the founders of the South Africa Diamond industry; his company was acquired early on by De Beers. Upon Schloss’s decease the collection passed to his wife, who kept it intact, and in 1938 it went by inherence to their children. As the clouds of war gathered over Europe, the famous collection was pre-emptively moved in 1939 to the Château de Chambon in the South of France. After the Nazi occupation of France this fell under Vichy control but the fame of the collection was such that an active search was ordered from Berlin for the pictures and the collection of more than 300 pieces was seized by the Vichy government in 1943. Extraordinarily, because of the fame of the collection, the paintings were individually photographed in the Louvre in 1943 and therefore the Schloss collection is one of the best documented examples of looted art: 49 paintings went to the Louvre and 230 paintings were sent to the Führerbau in Munich, awaiting removal to the Führermuseum in Linz, including the present work; a further group of 22 paintings were given order to be sold. With the downfall of the Nazi regime and the ensuing chaos the Führerbau was looted and many pictures disappeared; after the war some were restored to the heirs and auctioned off, but not all pictures have been recovered. Many paintings from the Schloss collection are now in leading museums all over the world. The Schloss collection is the subject of an online pilot project for looted art by the Jewish Digital Cultural Recovery Project (JDCRP) whose objective is the creation of a comprehensive listing of all Jewish-owned cultural objects plundered by the Nazis and their allies from the time of their spoliation to the present. An in-depth investigation on the Schloss collection, the works and their fate can be found on the website: https://pilot-demo.jdcrp.org/ After the painting was offered for auction and research proved its provenance from the Schloss Collection, Lempertz was able to broker an amicable agreement between the heirs after Schloss and the current owner. We are pleased to be able to sell this important work by Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp at auction on behalf of both parties.

Est: €2,000 - €2,500
Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp 1612 Dordrecht - 1652 ebenda The Adoration of the Shepherds Signed (restored) lower left. Oil auf panel. 38.5 x 55 cm. Restored. Minor damage. Framed (53 x 71 cm). 1631 trat Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp der Dordrechter Lukasgilde bei, noch 1641 ist er in Dordrecht nachzuweisen, kurz darauf scheint er nach Den Haag übersiedelt zu sein. Es schloss sich ein längerer Aufenthalt in Utrecht an. Kurz vor seinem Tod kehrte er in seine Geburtsstadt zurück. Cuyp hinterließ trotz seines relativ kurzen Lebens ein umfangreiches Werk, das ihn als einen auch thematisch vielseitig orientierten Künstler zeigt. Mit vielen Themen setzte er sich häufig auseinander, so geht man von ca. 30 Darstellungen der "Anbetung der Hirten" aus. Die Kunst Cuyps ist stark vom Schaffen Rembrandts beeinflusst, wenngleich eine persönliche Bekanntschaft der beiden Künstler nicht nachgewiesen werden kann. Charakteristisch für Cuyps Schaffen ist sein Gespür für einen kreativen Bildaufbau, eine deutlich reduzierte Farbigkeit, bei der - unter Verwendung weniger Lokalfarben - Brauntöne vorherrschen. Durch starke Hell-Dunkel-Kontraste verstärkt Cuyp die dramatische Wirkung der Szenerie.

Cuyp esprime al meglio quel sentimento barocco tipico dei Paesi Bassi, altresì condizionato da una peculiare regia luministica, coniugando la tradizione della pittura di genere connotata da una sincera sensibilità naturalistica d'ascendenza caravaggesca, con la pittura di storia. Nel nostro caso, infatti, è difficile cogliere la distinzione di una scena di carattere popolare con l'immagine della Sacra Famiglia ed è probabilmente questa la caratteristica peculiare della sua produzione e di quest'opera in particolare. L'opera è corredata da una comunicazione scritta di Bert W. Meijer.

(Dordrecht, 1612 - 1652) Sacra Famiglia Siglato in alto a destra Olio su tela, cm 102X83 Il dipinto è un'opera tipica dell'artista, la cui produzione denota l'evidente influenza dello stile pittorico di Rembrandt. Cuyp esprime al meglio quel sentimento barocco tipico dei Paesi Bassi, altresì condizionato da una peculiare regia luministica, coniugando la tradizione della pittura di genere connotata da una sincera sensibilità naturalistica d'ascendenza caravaggesca, con la pittura di storia. Nel nostro caso, infatti, è difficile cogliere la distinzione di una scena di carattere popolare con l'immagine della Sacra Famiglia ed è probabilmente questa la caratteristica peculiare della sua produzione e di quest'opera in particolare. L'opera è corredata da una comunicazione scritta di Bert W. Meijer.
