Benedetto Gennari der Jüngere
Est: €2,600 - €5,200
(1633 Cento - 1715 Bologna) attr.; Bildnis einer jungen adeligen Dame, wohl Maria Beatrice (Beatrix) dEste, Prinzessin von Modena, als Herzogin von York Das um 1680 entstandene, ovale, repräsentative Barock-Bildnis zeigt die Adelige anmutig und elegant in der standesgemäßen Mode der Zeit - einer weißen, sich in voluminösen Falten aufbauschenden Bluse, ockerrotem Kleid und leuchtend blauem Umhang. Mit beiden Händen hält sie einen Korb mit Rosenblüten, der Kopf ist leicht ins Profil gewandt, während ihr Blick selbstbewusst und zugleich kritisch auf den Betrachter gerichtet ist. Das Gemälde spiegelt eine künstlerisch hohe Virtuosität in der Bildnismalerei wider, durch eine weiche Lichtführung gelingt eine fast plastische Modellierung und ermöglicht zugleich die Präsenz und Stofflichkeit der Kleidung noch brillanter zu schildern. Gennari entstammte einer Künstlerdynastie, lernte bei seinem Onkel Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, gen. il Guercino, dessen Stil ihn zu Beginn stark beeinflusste. Nach Guercinos Tod (1666) übernahm er zunächst die Werkstatt in Bologna. 1672 ging er jedoch nach Paris an den Hof König Ludwigs XIV., wo er zweieinhalb Jahre verweilte und die Porträts von Pierre Mignard rezipierte. Von dort zog es ihn weiter nach London, wo er bis 1689 blieb. Hier arbeitete er als Hofmaler König Karls II. von England und dessen Nachfolger Jakob II. sowie dessen katholischen Gemahlinnen Katharina von Braganza und Maria von Modena und schuf vor allem Porträts. Während seines London-Aufenthalts verfeinerte er seine Kunstfertigkeiten als Bildnismaler und wurde von Sir Peter Lely beeinflusst. Bei der Dargestellten dürfte es sich um Maria Beatrix dEste (1658 - 1718), Prinzessin von Modena handeln, die 1673 Herzog Jakob von York heiratete, den Bruder König Karl II., wie ein Vergleich mit anderen Bildnissen der Herzogin zeigt. Als Gemahlin des späteren Königs Jakob II. (VII.) war sie 1685-1688 Königin von England, Schottland und Irland, musste jedoch infolge der Glorius Revolution mit ihm Ende 1688 zu König Ludwig XIV. nach Frankreich fliehen und starb dort nach 30-jährigem Exil. Öl/Lwd., auf Holztafel kaschiert. 105 cm x 83 cm. Attributed to Benedetto Gennari the Younger (1633 - 1715). Oil on canvas, laid down on panel.

Benedetto Gennari
Est: €20,000 - €30,000
(Cento 1633–1715 Bologna) Portrait of a young gentleman, three-quarter length, wearing a black doublet with a lace collar and sleeves over a white shirt with red ribbons, oil on canvas, 110.5 x 94 cm, framed Provenance: Private European collection We are grateful to Marco Riccomini for endorsing the attribution of the present painting and for his help in cataloguing this lot. His written expertise accompanies this lot. Gennari presents the sitter, an unidentified young gentleman, standing in three-quarter-length, with one hand resting on his hip. His elevated status is conveyed through the elaborate clothing he wears, enriched with white lace and red ribbons. On his right, a sword is partially visible, signifying the sitter’s noble, military background. Riccomini, dates this portrait to before Gennari’s twenty-year sojourn abroad, and compares this work to the portraits of Ricciarda Cibo Gonzaga and her husband Alfonso Gonzaga of Novellara, both painting in 1666 in the Galleria Estense, Modena (inv. nos. 257 and 43, see P. Bagni, Benedetto Gennari e la bottega del Guercino, Bologna 1986 p. 37, no. 19; pp. 38-39, no. 20). Benedetto Gennari was born in Cento into a family of painters and was trained by his uncle Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, called ‘il Guercino’. After moving to Bologna in 1643, he later travelled to France in 1672, working for the nobility, before settling in England in 1674, where James, Duke of York (later James II), and his wife Mary of Modena became his principal patrons. He also received commissions from King Charles II, producing portraits and mythological scenes for Windsor Castle. Celebrated as a portraitist, Gennari combined refined observation with the elegance of French classicism and the flattering conventions of seventeenth-century portraiture. Following the Revolution of 1688, he joined the Stuart court in exile at Saint-Germain-en-Laye until 1692. On his return to Italy, his sophisticated style ensured his success, and he became a founding member of the Accademia Clementina in Bologna in 1710, later serving as director of the Scuola del Nudo.

Est: €10,000 - €15,000
MYSTISCHE VERMÄHLUNG DER HEILIGEN KATHARINA Öl auf Leinwand. Doubliert. 99 x 74 cm. In profiliertem Rahmen. Das Thema entspricht dem legendären Traum der Heiligen Katharina, wonach sie nach Entsagung einer Ehe mit Jesus selbst vermählt wurde. Die Legende ist in der Bildkunst zahlreich wiedergegeben worden. Im vorliegendem Gemälde wird eine Szene dargestellt, in der die Madonna mit dem Kind und die heilige Katharina die Hauptfiguren sind. Katharina ist anhand ihrer ikonografischen Merkmale erkennbar, wie der kostbaren Kleidung und den Schmuckstücken, die auf ihren fürstlichen Status hinweisen. Jesus, in den Armen seiner Mutter, hält einen Ehering in der Hand als Anspielung auf die Vision, die die Heilige vor ihrem Martyrium hatte. Der realistische Stil der Figuren, der sich vom barocken Geschmack abhebt, der darauf abzielt, die Figuren durch Formen und Farben zu verschönern, sowie die Verwendung von Licht, das von oben fällt und Hell-Dunkel-Effekte erzeugt, sind Merkmale, die auf den Stil des Lehrers hinweisen. Was den Stil betrifft, so lassen sich mehrere Bildbeispiele mit Werken des Gennari zum Vergleich heranziehen. Nicht zu übersehen jedoch ist der Einfluss seines Lehrers Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, besser bekannt als Guercino (1591-1666). Benedetto Gennari war Neffe und Meisterschüler des Guercino (1591-1666), verfeinerte jedoch seine Farbsprache. 1672 brach er nach Paris auf, 1674 nach London. Literatur: Vgl. Nicosetta Roio, Benedetto Gennari, in: La scuola del Guercino, Modena 2004. (1420327) (2) (13) Benedetto Gennari, 1633 – 1715 Bologna, attributed THE MYSTIC MARRIAGE OF SAINT CATHERINE Oil on canvas. Relined. 99 x 74 cm. As far as style is concerned, several examples of paintings can be compared with works by Gennari. However, the influence of his teacher Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, better known as Guercino (1591 – 1666) is obvious. Literature: cf. Nicosetta Roio, Benedetto Gennari, in: La scuola del Guercino, Modena 2004.

Benedetto Gennari war Neffe und Meisterschüler des Guercino (1591-1666), verfeinerte jedoch seine Farbsprache. 1672 brach er nach Paris auf, 1674 nach London.SALOME WEIST AUF DAS HAUPT DES JOHANNES Öl auf Leinwand. 98 x 114 cm. Die Königstochter ist hier als zentrale Figur im Bild gezeigt. Im Halbbildnis nach links gewandt, hält sie den Kopf der rechts stehenden Magd entgegen, während sie gleichzeitig mit der Hand auf das Haupt des Johannes weist, das von einem Jüngling herangetragen wird. Das Attribut des Heiligen, der Kreuzstab mit Schriftband „ECCE.“ ist am Kerkergitter links im Hintergrund zu sehen. Welche Funktion die Magd rechts im Bild hat, die ihre Hand an Salomes Schulter legt, ist nur schwer zu deuten. Ihr Gesichtsausdruck lässt vermuten, dass sie Salome möglicherweise auf deren Schuld hinweist. Die Betroffenheit im Ausdruck Salomes und der fragende Blick dem Betrachter gegenüber ließe dies erklären. Der Maler hat durch den betonten Kleiderausschnitt die Erotik der gesamten Johanneslegende herausgestellt. Was den Stil betrifft, so lassen sich mehrere Bildbeispiele mit Werken des Gennari zum Vergleich heranziehen. Nicht zu übersehen jedoch ist der Einfluss seines Lehrers Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, besser bekannt als Guercino (1591-1666). Zuweilen finden sich Bilder, die eine Unterscheidung der Hände schwer macht. Auffallend ist bei Gennari die ausgesprochen hohe Meisterschaft in der Wiedergabe von Gesichtern und Händen, was auch das vorliegende Bild auszeichnet, wie auch die zahlreichen weiteren Werke seiner Hand.

Est: €2,400 - €3,120
Oil on canvas, relined Italy, 17th Century Circle of Benedetto Gennari (1633 -1715) – Italian Baroque painter Gilt stucco frame Dimensions: 119 x 91 cm Provenance: Private Collection, Europe Exotic Queen and Femme Fatale - Cleopatra has inspired numerous artists from the Renaissance onwards The present depiction of the dying Cleopatra is the work of a painter from the circle of Benedetto Gennari, a student of Guercino (1591-1666). Gennari mainly depicted allegorical and mythological themes, and he was also a master of portraits. Gennari has often visited the subject of Cleopatra (69 BC - 30 BC). She was the last queen of ancient Egypt. Even such important figures such as Caesar and Mark Antony succumbed to her charm. According to ancient sources, Cleopatra died by a snake bite. In the present depiction, the dramatic event was implemented through the strategic use of light and shadow. The painting is well presented. The canvas has been relined. The paint surface has been consolidated to the background and is thin in parts. Small scattered areas of retouching affect the surface. Inspection under UV light reveals retouching to the flesh tones, the background and the costume. Die gilt stucco frame shows light wear consistent with age and use. The overall dimensions, framed, are 132 x 102.5 cm, and the stretcher measures 119 x 91 cm. Benedetto Gennari II (1633-1715) Benedetto Gennari belonged to a dynasty of painters. His teacher Guercino was a grandson of Benedetto Gennari I (1563-1658). In 1672, Gennari II went to Paris at the court of King Louis XIV, and received numerous commissions. In 1674, he moved to London and became court painter to Charles II of England and his successor James II. When James II was dethroned, Gennari followed him to the court in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. In 1692, Benedetto Gennari returned to Bologna. Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.

Est: €800 - €1,200
Attribué Benedetto GENNARI le JEUNE (1633 - 1715) Paysage avec un cortège de funérailles entrant dans une église Plume et encre brune 28 x 41 cm Porte en bas à gauche le cachet de la collection Giuseppe Vallardi (Lugt n° 1223) Notre dessin est la reprise avec quelques variantes dun Paysage du Guerchin appartenant autrefois à la collection Devonshire de Chatsworth et conservé aujourdhui au Fitzwilliam Museum de Cambridge. Le paysage du Guerchin a été gravé à deux reprises. La première fois vers 1678 à Paris, par Jean Pesne, à la demande de Benedetto et Cesare Gennari. Neveux du Guerchin, formés dans son atelier, ils firent réaliser un album de quatorze gravures daprès les quatorze meilleurs paysages du Guerchin quils avaient sélectionnés (I paesi del cavalier Gianfrancesco Barbieri detto il Guercino da cento da esso inventati ed espressi in XIV vedute, ed intagliati in rame da Giovanni Penna in Parigi). Cette commande à Jean Pesne se fit probablement lors du séjour de Benedetto Gennari à la cour de Versailles entre 1672 et 1674. Benedetto Gennari emporta ensuite les dessins avec lui en Angleterre où il travailla entre 1674 et 1689. Dans lalbum de gravures réalisé par Jean Pesne avec un frontispice de Cesare Gennari, le paysage parait en sens inverse, sous le n° 5. En 1747, le paysage fut gravé une seconde fois à Bologne par Ludovico Mattioli. Cette deuxième gravure réalisée daprès le travail de Jean Pesne, est donc dans le même sens que le dessin du Guerchin, et comporte quelques variantes.

BENEDETTO GENNARI Judith with the Head of Holofernes
Est: £29,000 - £33,000
BENEDETTO GENNARI Judith with the Head of Holofernes Oil on canvas This painting is very probably by Benedetto Gennari, who is well-known for being both Emilian master Guercino’s nephew and the heir to his thriving workshop. Gennari’s style is very similar but easy to tell apart from that of his far more celebrated uncle, whose dramatic chiaroscuro tones he emulates, yet without ever achieving the extraordinary nuanced solemnity typical of Guercino’s work. The difference between the uncle and the nephew is all the more glaring in this canvas because the hand of both artists’ work in the composition is very easy to decipher. Gennari undoubtedly afforded due consideration to the Judith and Holofernes now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Brest, a picture which his uncle had painted for an apothecary named Giacomo Zanoni, as we can read in his Book of Accounts for 1 April 1651. The stylistic difference between the picture under discussion here and the prototype now in Brest is clear, yet it is useful in helping us to de- termine that the face of Judith in our picture is very clearly by the hand of Guercino himself. This in no way diminishes the freshness or the power of Gennari’s work, which is clearer in the handling of the colour contrasts and very sharp in the definition of the drapery, certainly not taking second place to Guercino’s contribution. What is missing compared to the Judith and Holofernes in Brest is the sense of theatre and the breadth of the stage setting, where Judith’s rapid, slicing movement with her sword still betrays the legacy of Guido Reni. The rendering of the figures in our picture is thus slightly less rigid than in the prototype, yet no less effective for all that. We would argue that it is also useful to compare the picture with a Holy Family with the Young St. John the Baptist and St. Anne now in the Musée des Beaux Arts in Dijon, in which the contrast between the faces of the youthful Mary and the older St. Anne echo the contrast between the freshness of Judith and the lined face of her servant in our picture (see, in the Federico Zeri Photographic Library, entry 59294 folder 0549 in the section devoted to Benedetto Gennari). And finally, it is worth comparing this painting with a canvas of the same subject now in the Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister in Kassel. The Kassel picture is a blatant copy of the Brest prototype and unquestionably an autograph work by Gennari, yet softer in its overall execution than our painting here. The date for our picture should be close to that of the Brest painting, thus around 1655 when Gennari was only a little over twenty years old. The picture’s state of con- servation is excellent, both in terms of the support and in terms of the adherence of the colour to the priming coat on the canvas. 124.5 x 118 cm

Benedetto Gennari, 1633 Cento - 1715 Bologna BILDNIS EINER ADLIGEN DAME MIT PERLENKETTE UND EINER MASKE IN DER HAND Öl auf Leinwand. 100 x 75,5 cm. Dreiviertelbildnis, Körperhaltung nach rechts, das Gesicht dem Betrachter zugewandt, gerahmt von reich ausladend frisiertem, lockigem, blondem Haar, mit rosettenförmigem, steinbesetztem Haarschmuck, zwei lange Stopsellocken ziehen über die Schultern herab, am Hals eine Kette mit großen Perlen, an den Ohren Schmuck mit tropfenförmigen Barockperlen. Weiterer Perlenschmuck an der Brustagraffe sowie an den Armen. Das Brokatkleid reicht bestückt, über die Schultern ein schwarzes, kurzes Cape mit Randspitzen, das farblich mit der schwarzen Gesichtsmaske korrespondiert, die die Dame in der linken Hand demonstrativ hält. Rechts an einem mit roter Decke belegtem Tisch weiße Stoffhandschuhe, dahinter Steinsockel mit darauf stehender Rundsäule als Hoheitszeichen der Dargestellten. Als Besonderheit des Gemäldes darf die erwähnte schwarze Gesichtsmaske gesehen werden, die erst etwas später im venezianischen Raum des 18. Jahrhunderts zur Gesellschaftsmode erhoben wird, aus dem Karnevalsgeschehen heraus entwickelt. Hier jedoch mag die "abgenommene" Maske wohl eher als attributives Symbol der "Wahrheit" zu gelten haben, was hier eine intime Aussage des Bildes bedeutet, als Hinweis für den Auftraggeber. Der Maler Benedetto Gennaro war Neffe des berühmteren Guercino und einer seiner engsten Mitarbeiter. In seinem Wirken verhalf er nach dem Tod des Onkels dessen Stil zur Verbreitung. Durch Ludwig XIV wurde er an den Pariser Hof gerufen. Auch hier wirkte er als gefragter Portraitist der höfischen Gesellschaft, bevor er nach England ging wo er sich ebenfalls als Portraitist bis 1688 aufhielt. 1662 nach Bologna zurückgekehrt, führte er in Italien den französischen und englischen Stil der Portraitmalerei ein, beeinflusst von Lebrun oder dem Engländer Peter Lely. Expertise: Dem Gemälde ist eine Expertise von Dr. Emilio Negro vom August 2010 beigegeben. Darin wird das vorliegende Bildnis mit ähnlichen Portraits von Anna Marie Mancini, Herzogin von Bouillon sowie der "Kleopatra" in der National Gallery in London verglichen.
