      • A carved ivory figure of Hercules, attributed to Francis van Bossuit
        Nov. 18, 2023

        A carved ivory figure of Hercules, attributed to Francis van Bossuit

        Est: €27,000 - €30,000

        This figure of Hercules, carved in the round, shows him standing in contrapposto with his club shouldered, holding in his left hand the skin of the Nemean lion, which falls to his feet on the reverse of the figure. The small, finely carved sculpture is traditionally attributed to the Flemish artist Francis van Bossuit, who, after his training in Brussels in 1655-1660, went to Italy to study the works of François Duquesnoy and Bernini. Returning north to Amsterdam, he specialised in small-format ivory objects for private collectors' cabinets of curiosities. Certificate Marketing authorisation for the EU internal market available. This lot contains materials which require a CITES licence for export outside of the EU contract countries. We would like to inform you that such licenses are usually not granted.

      • A carved ivory relief with the flaying of Marsyas, attributed to François van Bossuit
        Jul. 15, 2021

        A carved ivory relief with the flaying of Marsyas, attributed to François van Bossuit

        Est: €160,000 - €180,000

        This astonishingly fine and, in the smooth areas, exceptionally thinly carved relief depicts the satyr Marsyas bound to a tree. Marsyas was sentenced by Apollo to be flayed alive after challenging him to a music contest. Following his training in Brussels and a sojourn in Antwerp, François van Bossuit, the author of this relief, resided in Italy from 1655 to 1660, where he was able to study the works of François Duquesnoy and Bernini. Following his return to the north, he settled in Amsterdam where he specialised in the production of small format ivory reliefs designed to appeal to private collectors interested in cabinet pieces, and became exceedingly successful. A further ivory relief with a very similar composition and identical dimensions but vastly varying details signed by François van Bossuit is housed in a private collection in Toronto. This lot contains materials which require a CITES licence for export outside of the EU contract countries. We would like to inform you that such licenses are usually not granted.

        Francis van Bossuit, zug.

        Est: €10,000 - €12,000

        ELFENBEINHOCHRELIEF FAUNE ENTFÜHREN EINE NYMPHE 14,5 x 10 cm. Im ebonisierten Rähmchen. 21,5 x 17,5 cm. Die Darstellung zeigt eine nackte Nymphe, die sich gegen die Entführung durch zwei bocksbeinige Faune wehrt, wobei diese bereits ihr Tuch entrissen haben. Im Hintergrund zwei Baumstämme mit Laubbüscheln. Die Rasenzone im unteren Abschnitt etwas vorgezogen, mit Blattwerk beschnitzt. Das Relief in hoher Qualität gearbeitet, mit schöner Alterspatina. Der flämische Bildhauer wurde vor allem durch seine Elfenbeinarbeiten, aber auch durch Terrakotta- und Holzplastiken bekannt. Eine Zusammenarbeit mit Balthasar Permoser (1651-1732) in Florenz an der Accademia delle Arti del Disegno ist belegt. Auch sein Wirkungsaufenthalt in Modena, wo sich im Museum zwei seiner frühesten Elfenbeinreliefs befinden. Werke seiner Hand finden sich im Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, im Getty Museum („Susanna und die beiden Alten“) sowie in Amiens, wo sich eine ähnliche Darstellung wie das vorliegende Faunsrelief findet. Ein typisches Kennzeichen seines Stils ist die häufige Vorführung einer Dreiergruppe bzw. auch die lebendige Aktion zweier Gestalten, wie etwa „Apollo und Daphne“ der Universität von Louvain. (1221862) (11) Francis van Bossuit, 1635 Brussels – 1692 Amsterdam, attributed HIGH RELIEF OF FAUNS ABDUCTING A NYMPH IN IVORY 14.5 x 10 cm. In ebonized frame. 21.5 x 17.5 cm. The relief is of high quality with beautiful aged patina. The Flemish sculptor became especially known for his works in ivory, terracotta and wood. His collaboration with Balthasar Permoser (1651-1732) in Florence at the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno is documented. Export restrictions outside the EU.
