JOHANN ROTTENHAMMER (attr. a)
Est: €5,000 - €8,000
(Monaco di Baviera, 1564 - Augusta, 1625) Natività Olio su rame, cm 39X30 Provenienza: Milano, collezione privata Monaco di Baviera, Roma e Venezia, sono le città in cui l'artista Hans Rottenhammer trascorse gran parte della sua vita. Dopo l'apprendistato il pittore si trasferì in Italia nel 1589, inizialmente a Venezia per trarre ispirazione dai maestri della scuola lagunare, poi nel 1594 a Roma, dove la sua priorità fu lo studio delle opere classiche e rinascimentali. Nella Città Eterna riscosse un immediato successo, le sue raffinate opere erano molto apprezzate dai collezionisti e documentate sono le collaborazioni con Paul Bril e Jan Brueghel; tuttavia, nel 1595 aprì un atelier a Venezia segnando il culmine della propria carriera. La sua produzione continuò a seguire quel filone mitologico e sensuale caratterizzato da eleganti figure, adattando i motivi illustrativi peculiari alla tradizione veneziana su lastre di rame e raggiungendo esiti di straordinaria raffinatezza. Esemplare a questo proposito è il dipinto in esame che, sia pur offuscato da una vernice ingiallita e polvere, esprime felicemente quei tratti qualitativi tipici dell'artista.

Attribué à Hans ROTTENHAMMER Munich, 1564 - Augsbourg, 1625 Allégorie de la paix et de la guerre Huile sur cuivre
Est: €20,000 - €30,000
Attribué à Hans ROTTENHAMMER Munich, 1564 - Augsbourg, 1625 Allégorie de la paix et de la guerre Huile sur cuivre Porte un monogramme 'HR' en bas à droite Allegory of peace and war, oil on copper, attr. to H. Rottenhammer h: 27 w: 33 cm Provenance : Collection du marquis de Murgat ; Vente anonyme ; Bruxelles, hôtel des ventes Saint Georges, 24 et 25 juin 1992, n° 145 (comme Hubert van Ravesteyn) ; Collection particulière européenne Commentaire : Cette huile sur cuivre représente une allégorie de la paix et de la guerre. La guerre est aisément identifiable, elle fait rage à l'arrière-plan. Des bâtiments sont en feu, plusieurs personnages tentent d'échapper au massacre quand d'autres ont déjà succombé. Figurée enchaînée à un arbre et reposant sur une gerbe de blé, la figure nue au premier plan représente la Paix. Les conséquences de la guerre sont ici clairement exposées. La paix apporte l'abondance et la fertilité mais celle-ci est représentée attachée et donc immobilisée. Les récoltes sont à l'arrêt. Par ailleurs, le putto mort à ses côtés indique que les affrontements empêchent la procréation. Le petite saint Jean-Baptiste levant les yeux au ciel et portant une croix est une personnification de la foi. Il représente le réconfort que l'on peut trouver dans la foi en temps de guerre. Cette huile sur cuivre fut sans doute réalisée à deux mains. Le paysage a peut-être été réalisé par le peintre Peter Schoubroeck (1570-1607/1608) ou par Jan Brueghel de Velours (Anvers 1568-1625). On peut rapprocher le rendu des arbres du Repos pendant la fuite en Egypte de 1595 réalisé par Jan Brueghel de Velours en collaboration avec Hans Rottenhammer (Mauritshuis, La Haye, inv. 283). Jan Brueghel I a également réalisé des scènes d'incendie. Les figures pourraient quant à elles être de la main de Hans Rottenhammer. En effet, le personnage féminin réalisé par Hans Rottenhammer dans son 'Apollon et une nymphe' du musée de Bruxelles (inv. 3742) est à mettre en lien avec notre personnification de la paix. Nous remercions Joost Vander Auwera pour son aide dans la rédaction de cette notice. Estimation 20 000 - 30 000 €

Hans Rottenhammer (1564 –1625) – Attributed, Reclining Venus in a Landscape
Est: €3,000 - €5,000
Hans Rottenhammer was the main representative of cabinet painting on copper in the period around 1600. His compositions show a strong influence of Venetian painting, which he translated into a small format. Between 1591 and 1606 he worked in Venice, then in Augsburg; he also worked for Emperor Rudolf II in Prague, as an artist and art agent. In the landscape, under a red curtain, Venus lies on a blanket and a large pillow looking curiously at the viewer. A small cupid holds a wreath of flowers above his head. Putto sits lower left weaving another wreath of flowers. To the right, the view goes to a green landscape where a round temple rises on a hill. The painting varies the composition of Rottenhammer. These paintings were modeled after famous depictions of Venus by Titian and other Venetian artists of the 16th century. Oil on copper, 24.2 x 31 cm

After models by HANS ROTTENHAMMER (1564-1625). Atelier of HANS JACOB BAYER (1574-1628) "The Rape of the Sabine Women", ca. 1610. Bronze and chiselled lead. Measurements: 15.5 cm in diameter. Relief plaque, made in the workshop of Hans Jakob Bayer, representing the mythological theme of the Rape of the Sabine Women, following a pictorial model by the German painter Hans Rottenhammer. Hans Jakob Bayer was born in Augsburg and was registered as a master and member of the guild in 1616. He is known to have made a silver monstrance for Eichstatt Cathedral and was considered one of the best silversmiths in the region. It depicts the episode from classical mythology in which the Sabine women are abducted by the founders of the city of Rome during a banquet organised by Romulus; later, the legendary Sabine king Titus Tatius declared war on Rome, but the same women, now married and with children, intervened to prevent the massacre, all fighting ceased and peace and partnership between the two peoples was achieved.
