    Paperback. Condition: New. In the course of the 18th century, drawings by old and contemporary masters became an esteemed collectors' item and, in consequence, a highly valued commodity of the art market. This study looks at this business from the perspective of the art dealer Guillaume Jean Constantin (1755-1816), who was active in Paris during the last quarter of the 18th and the first years of the 19th century. Constantin's transactions are reconstructed on the evidence of his dealer's mark applied to drawings - here identified for the first time - and unpublished material drawn from archives in Paris. His dealership in drawings is analysed with a focus on his business network within France and his far-reaching contacts, which also covered other regions of Europe, including England, Italy, Germany and Russia. Due to a particlularly rich documentation, his relationship with Johann Friedrich Städel, a Frankfurt collector and founder of the eponymous institute, can be described in detail. Other aspects of Constantin's multi-faceted activities were his work as an expert in estate evaluation, as an auctioneer and as a print publisher, including in 1794 the publication of the famous portrait of the revolutionary hero Jean-Paul Marat after a design by Jacques-Louis David. He also served as paintings curator to Empress Joséphine, Napoleon's wife. Working in proximity to the contemporary art world, he promoted living artists, among them his close friend Pierre-Paul Prud'hon. Constantin's working life spanned the period between the French Revolution and the Empire, established under Napoleon. His changing allegiances are to be seen against this historical background. This handsomely produced book is published by Ad Ilissvm in a new series, The Fondation Custodia Studies in the History of Art, which reflects and continues forward into the present the scholarly interests of the institution's founder, Frits Lugt. The next book in the series, prepared by Jean-Paul Bouillon, will publish a previously unknown collection of letters, recently acquired by the Fondation Custodia, byÉdouard Manet to his friend the painter and printmaker Félix Bracquemond.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neu -». dann zu Herrn Stedel der uns Zeichnungen wies. Unschätzbare Dinge - tief beeindruckt« hat Johann Wolfgang von Goethe seine Begeisterung über die Zeichnungssammlung des Frankfurter Kaufmanns und Bankiers Johann Friedrich Städel (1728-1816) festgehalten. Handzeichnungen - also mit Feder, Stift oder Pinsel auf Papier geschaffene Arbeiten - galten im 18. Jahrhundert als einzigartige Zeugnisse künstlerischer Schaffenskraft. Städel hinterließ seiner Stiftung, dem heutigen Städel Museum, mit seiner großen Kunstsammlung auch über 4600 Zeichnungen. In einer exemplarischen Auswahl - unter anderem sind Dürer, Rembrandt, Raffael und Claude Lorrain vertreten - werden der enzyklopädische Zuschnitt der Städelschen Sammlung und ihr hohes Qualitätsniveau anschaulich. Zeichnungen seit der Renaissance um 1500 bis in die eigenen Lebensjahre Städels erschließen außerdem eine erstaunliche chronologische Spannbreite, nicht weniger eine große Vielfalt in den Zeichentechniken, der Funktion und Zweckbestimmung. Der Katalog macht die Ergebnisse eines mehrjährigen Forschungsprojekts zugänglich, das der Rekonstruktion der Zeichnungssammlung Städels gewidmet war. 336 pp. Deutsch.

Die Darstellung gerade weltlicher Machtträger kennzeichnet den Programmentwurf des Raumes, der unter Papst Leo X. ausgemalt wurde.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the course of the 18th century, drawings by old and contemporary masters became an esteemed collectors item and, in consequence, a highly valued commodity of the art market. This study looks at this business from the perspective of the art dealer Guillaume Jean Constantin (1755-1816), who was active in Paris during the last quarter of the 18th and the first years of the 19th century.Constantins transactions are reconstructed on the evidence of his dealers mark applied to drawings here identified for the first time and unpublished material drawn from archives in Paris. His dealership in drawings is analysed with a focus on his business network within France and his far-reaching contacts, which also covered other regions of Europe, including England, Italy, Germany and Russia. Due to a particlularly rich documentation, his relationship with Johann Friedrich Staedel, a Frankfurt collector and founder of the eponymous institute, can be described in detail. Other aspects of Constantins multi-faceted activities were his work as an expert in estate evaluation, as an auctioneer and as a print publisher, including in 1794 the publication of the famous portrait of the revolutionary hero Jean-Paul Marat after a design by Jacques-Louis David. He also served as paintings curator to Empress Josephine, Napoleons wife. Working in proximity to the contemporary art world, he promoted living artists, among them his close friend Pierre-Paul Prudhon. Constantins working life spanned the period between the French Revolution and the Empire, established under Napoleon. His changing allegiances are to be seen against this historical background.This handsomely produced book is published by Ad Ilissvm in a new series, The Fondation Custodia Studies in the History of Art, which reflects and continues forward into the present the scholarly interests of the institutions founder, Frits Lugt. The next book in the series, prepared by Jean-Paul Bouillon, will publish a previously unknown collection of letters, recently acquired by the Fondation Custodia, byEdouard Manet to his friend the painter and printmaker Felix Bracquemond. This extraordinary and original study traces the career of the influential Paris art dealer Guillaume Jean Constantin (1755-1816).
