VAN BREE, Matthieu Ignace (1773-1839)
Est: €2,000 - €3,000
The death of Hector The fallen Trojan hero Hector, is lamented by Hermes. In a previous scene of Homer's Iliad, Achilles had desecrated the body by dragging it around Troy with his war chariot. The indignation of this event can be read on the facial expression of Zeus, ultimately leading to the fall of Achilles. The drawing fits well within Van Bree's classicizing works, made during and after his long stay in Rome in 1821. The drawing was most likely made alongside other sheets depicting the Trojan war, such as a similar drawing in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, depicting Achilles lamenting the death of Patroclos (RPK-T-1958-181) Pen and brown ink, over black chalk, heightened with white and blue gouache, framing lines in brown ink, on blue paper, 287 x 395 mm. Provided with original Atelier mark 'MIVB' (L.1881)

Mattheus Ignatius Van Bree (Antwerp 1773 - 1839)
Est: €1,000 - €1,500
A Sketch of a Greek Street Vendor, at Half?Length Inscribed in pen and ink at upper left: Portrait van een Greekschen Koopman and further inscribed in pen and ink with a description of the colours of his clothing and shoes along the right side Pen and brown ink 251 by 200 mm. Born in Antwerp, Matthieu Ignatius van Bree was already a very famous artist in his own time. He first trained with Petrus van Regemorter and later with Francois Vincent in Paris, where he initially starting out in a French style with themes inspired by antiquity; he changed after the expulsion of the French in 1813 to painting historical pictures based on Dutch and Flemish history. He was also a counrt painter of the empress Jos?phine Bonaparte in Paris. He later returned to Antwerp to become the director of the Antwerp Academy in 1827. Van Bree was one of the founders of the historical school of painting in Belgium and played an important role as a teacher in the development of 19th Century Belgian art. His historical paintings were often of large dimensions and earned him a high reputation in his lifetime. He also painted more small?scale and colourful oil sketches and it is these works that are now most esteemed. He also made a few sculptures.This drawing was probably a study for a figure in one of Van Bree?s large scale paintings, as it indicates in detail the different colours of the man?s Greek costume. This detailed description also tells us that it was surely drawn after a actual model. The sale of his estate took place in 1840 in Amsterdam and Van Bree had a considerable collection of paintings of both contemporaries, like B.C. Koekkoek and Van Regemorter (his teacher) and their predecessors of the 17th Century Willem van de Velde the Elder. Provenance: Matthieu Ignatius van Bree, Antwerp, estate of the artist (L.1881; see F.L. Lugt, Les Marques des Collections de Dessins et d?Estampes, Amsterdam 1921 and 1956).
