  • Attributed to Johann Heinrich Tischbein (German, 1722-1789) Abraham kneeling before the Three Angels
    Jul. 07, 2026

    Attributed to Johann Heinrich Tischbein (German, 1722-1789) Abraham kneeling before the Three Angels

    Est: £6,000 - £8,000

    Attributed to Johann Heinrich Tischbein (German, 1722-1789) Abraham kneeling before the Three Angels oil on canvas Unframed: 53.3 x 41.9 cm. (21 x 16 1/2 in.) Framed: 79 x 69 cm. (31 1/8 x 27 1/8 in.) Provenance: Sale; Christie's, London, 29 October 1997, lot 71 (as Circle of Januaris Zick) Notes: The style and treatment of the painting point to its likely execution during and after the 1740s. The work can be compared on stylistic grounds to treatments after his studies in Paris C1743-48 and most notably with the studio of Carl van Loo, the present panel is characterised by meticulous detail, refined technique, comparable treatment of light and a similar characterisation of the figures. Tischbein received his early training in Germany, from among others his elder brother, Johann Valentin Tischbein. Paris exerted huge influence on the visual arts at the courts of Germany; and it was therefore perfectly natural for an aspirant painter to further his studies in Paris. Tischbein went there in 1743 and had the prescience to attach himself to the establishment of Carl van Loo. Now somewhat overlooked, van Loo was a sensible choice as a mentor, Tischbein had much to learn, and spent five years in Paris. In 1748, however, he set out for Italy. He spent eight months in Venice and then moved by way of Bologna and Florence to Rome.

  • JOHANN HEINRICH TISCHBEIN THE OLD (Germany, 1722-1789) "Coriolanus in the camp of the Volscians." Oil on canvas. Relined. With frame.
    Nov. 05, 2025

    JOHANN HEINRICH TISCHBEIN THE OLD (Germany, 1722-1789) "Coriolanus in the camp of the Volscians." Oil on canvas. Relined. With frame.

    Est: €11,000 - €12,000

    JOHANN HEINRICH TISCHBEIN THE OLD (Germany, 1722-1789) "Coriolanus in the camp of the Volscians." Oil on canvas. Relined. With frame. Measurements: 158 x 120 cm. The work represents a moment in Roman history in which Caius Martius Coriolanus, an exiled Roman general, joins the Volscians, enemies of Rome, and prepares to attack his own city. We see Coriolanus wearing a helmet and armor, raising his hand in a gesture of supplication or oath, while his mother, Veturia, and his wife, Volumnia, along with their children, beg him not to attack Rome. The painting is a superb example of the transitional style that dominated European art in the second half of the 18th century, a period in which the ornate and gallant sensibility of Rococo gave way to the moral severity and formal clarity of Neoclassicism. Tischbein the Elder, as one of the leading German artists of his time, is masterfully situated at this stylistic crossroads. The story of Coriolanus, drawn from Plutarch's Lives and Titus Livy's history of Rome, is an example of civic virtue. The conflict between family loyalty (filial piety) and duty to one's country was a moral dilemma that fascinated the Enlightenment mentality, which looked to classical antiquity for models of behavior and government. Tischbein organizes the characters in the manner of a classical relief or theatrical scene. The figures are arranged in the foreground, avoiding excessive depth so as not to distract from the main drama. Coriolanus' gesture forms the apex of a compositional pyramid, anchoring the scene. The interrelation of the figures is precise and legible: the supplication of his wife Volumnia, who embraces him, and the presence of his mother Veturia create a dramatic tension that is the narrative core of the work. Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder was a German painter, known for his portraits, mythological scenes and historical paintings, being one of the most respected European painters of the 18th century. Tischbein was one of the most respected European painters of the 18th century and an important member of the Tischbein family of German painters, which spanned three generations. His work consisted mainly of portraits of the nobility, mythological scenes and historical paintings. For his mythological paintings, his models were mostly members of the high nobility. He studied painting with Johann Georg von Freese (1701-1775), after which he worked in the service of small princely courts. In 1743, thanks to the patronage of Count Johann Philipp von Stadion, he was able to go to Paris and study with Carle van Loo. In 1749, he traveled to Venice to study with Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, and then spent a year in Rome. In 1753, he was appointed court painter to William VIII, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel. During the Seven Years' War, he fled the advancing French army and lived in various places until the occupation ended in 1762. Upon his return, he was appointed professor at the new Collegium Carolinum in Kassel.

  • Hamilton - 6 Engravings of a Painting from a Grecian Vase

    Hamilton - 6 Engravings of a Painting from a Grecian Vase

    Est: $1,000 - $2,000

    This hand-colored engraving is from Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein after Sir William Hamilton's collection of vases. The full title reads Recueil de Gravures d'après les Vases Antiques or Collection of Engravings from Ancient Vases... The work was published in Naples in 1791. This is Tischbein's famous work on Sir William Hamilton's second and greatest collection of antique vases. His first had been sold to the British Museum in 1772, the second nearly did not make it to Britain (about a third were lost in a shipwreck), but the collection was eventually brought by Thomas Hope, one of the great champions of the neo-classical style. The present image is both a technically brilliant record of a priceless object and a highly-pleasing graphic image that has as much appeal today as when it was produced in Florence two hundred years ago. Sir William Hamilton was the British ambassador to Naples from 1764 to 1800, during the city's golden age. An avid antiquarian, Hamilton assembled one of the world's finest collections of Greek and Roman antiquities. In addition to his duties as ambassador, Hamilton was also renowned as a knowledgeable guide and congenial host to the visiting English 'Grand Tourists'. With infectious enthusiasm he would extol the wonders of Naples and the beauties of arts of the ancient world, inspiring in many of his aristocratic visitors a genuine love of the antique. This new-found enthusiasm found its expression in the new style of neo-classicism and in the collections of antiquites which found their way to many of the stately homes of England.

  • Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder, Calypso bids Farewell to Odysseus
    Nov. 16, 2024

    Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder, Calypso bids Farewell to Odysseus

    Est: €7,000 - €9,000

    We would like to thank Dr. Petra Tiegel-Hertfelder, Bonn, for confirming the authenticity of this work after examining the original and determining the subject of the picture to be a motif from Homer's “Odyssey”. This epic describes the ten-year wanderings of King Odysseus of Ithaca after the Trojan War. The present scene describes Odysseus's farewell to the nymph Calypso, who held the hero on her island of Ogygia for seven years after a shipwreck and only let him go again at the behest of the gods. Even though Odysseus wanted to return to his homeland of Ithaca and to his wife Penelope, he still entered into a love affair with Calypso, which explains the heartfelt farewell in Tischbein's painting. The work is housed in a richly carved contemporary frame reminiscent of those of Johann August Nahl (1710-1785), with whom Tischbein was befriended.

    Attributed to JOHANN HEINRICH TISCHBEIN (Haina, 1722 - Kassel, 1789). "Portrait of Christiane Henriette von Pfalz-Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld and her son Prince Karl Ludwig Christian von Waldeck". Oil on canvas. Relined. It presents faults and perforations on the pictorial surface. Measurements: 114 x 91 cm. This painting follows the models of the painting that is in the Schlossmuseum of Darmstadt attributed to Johann Heinrich Tischbein. Christiane Henriette was the daughter of Count Palatine and Duke Christian III of Zweibrücken (1674-1735) from his marriage to Karoline (1704-1774), daughter of Count Ludwig Kraft of Nassau-Saarbrücken. Christiane Henriette was the sister of Duke Christian IV of Zweibrücken, the Grand Landgrave and Field Marshal Friedrich Michael. She was also the aunt of the first Bavarian king Maximilian I. After the death of her husband, she exercised the guardianship of her son Friedrich in the principality from 1764 to 1766. Christiane Henriette was considered an artistically minded woman and highly educated in science. She was a close friend of the anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach. Christiane created an extensive library, and maintained an art and natural history cabinet at her residence in Arolsen. At her death at the advanced age of 90, Christiane Henriette left behind considerable debts, so that part of her library and her painting collection had to be auctioned off in 1820. Kasseler Tischbein was one of the most respected European painters of the 18th century and an important member of the German Tischbein family of painters, which spanned three generations. His work consisted mainly of portraits of the nobility, mythological scenes and historical paintings. For his mythological paintings, his models were mostly members of the high nobility. He studied painting with Johann Georg von Freese (1701-1775), after which he worked in the service of small princely courts. In 1743, thanks to the patronage of Count Johann Philipp von Stadion, he was able to go to Paris and study with Carle van Loo. In 1749, he traveled to Venice to study with Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, and then spent a year in Rome. In 1753, he was appointed court painter to William VIII, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel. During the Seven Years' War, he fled the advancing French army and lived in various places until the occupation ended in 1762. Upon his return, he was appointed professor at the new Collegium Carolinum in Kassel.

    STAATSBILDNIS DES LANDGRAFS FRIEDRICH II VON HESSEN-KASSEL Öl auf Leinwand. 149 x 111 cm. Das Gemälde zeigt den Landesherrn in Lebensgröße. Mit Blick auf den Betrachter, steht er vor einer hügeligen Landschaft rechts und einem Laubbaum links. Seine rechte Hand auf einen Feldherrnstab gestützt, die linke an die Hüfte gelegt. Landgraf Friedrich II (1720 Kassel - 1785 Schloss Weissenstein) regierte ab 1760. Verehelicht mit einer Tochter des englischen Königs George III 1741 befehligte er seine Truppen im Verband mit Kaiser Karl VII im Österreichischen Erbfolgekrieg, konvertierte heimlich zum Katholizismus, worauf sich seine Gemahlin mit seinen drei Söhnen von ihm trennte. Er sah seine Frau nie-, die Söhne erst 1782 wieder. In zweiter Ehe mit Pilippine von Preußen, befehligte er als Generalfeldmarschall im Siebenjährigen Krieg, was ihm den Schwarzen Adlerorden eintrug. Diese politischen Hintergründe erklären nicht nur die mit Orden geschmückte Brust, sondern auch die Entstehungszeit des Bildes, das dokumentiert, dass es nach den verliehenen Auszeichnungen gemalt wurde. Hier trägt er einen silberbestickten Militärrock mit Silberbesatz, darauf die Sterne des Hosenbandordens, und des schwarzen Adlerordens. Am blauen Ordensband auf der Brust der hessische Orden „Pour la militaire“. Neben dem Degengefäß der Hessische Hausorden vom Goldenen Löwen - dieser wiederholt auf dem roten Futter des Hermelinmantels links unten, darauf der Dreispitz. Sein Reichtum erwuchs aus dem im 18. Jahrhundert geübten Soldatenhandel, vor allem für den Unabhängigkeitskrieg in Amerika, was dem Herrscher auch ermöglichte, das Kunstwesen zu fördern – mit der Akademie 1777, dem Erwerb des berühmten antiken „Apollon“, oder seinem „Friedericianum“, dem ersten öffentlichen Museum Europas. Seine Staatsporträts – wie die auch anderer Herrscher erforderlich für die Schlösser der Adelsfamilien – wurden von Tischbein in mehreren Repliken geschaffen, jeweils mit unterschiedlichen Details, je nach den politischen Ereignissen oder militärischen Erfolgen. Als preußischer Generalfeldmarschall ist er etwa in dem Gemälde vor einer Schlacht zu sehen (Bridgeman Art Library). Das hier vorliegende Gemälde zählt zu den ausgezeichneten Versionen der Porträtreihe des Landgrafen, in hervorragender Malqualität. A.R. Tischbein war einer der bedeutendsten Porträtisten des 18. Jahrhunderts und bekanntesten deutschen Maler. Als Bäckerssohn gelang ihm der Aufstieg zum Hofmaler. In Paris studierte er bei Carle van Loo, in Venedig bei Piazzetta. Seit 1753 Hofmaler in Hessen, schuf er unzählige Bildnisse der landgräflichen Familien, als Professor für Malerei und Direktor an der Kasseler Kunstakademie war er Lehrer mehrerer Mitglieder seiner Familie, so etwa seines Neffen Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein (1751-1829), der als Goethe-Tischbein berühmt wurde. Er begründete er einen Malstil, der auch das 19. Jahrhundert mitprägte. Provenienz: Dorotheum Wien, März 1998, Lot. 256. Literatur: Vgl. Flohr, Anna-Charlotte: Johann Heinrich Tischbein d.Ä.
