    • Jean Del Cour (1627-1707), Flandres, vers 1680
      Dec. 18, 2024

      Jean Del Cour (1627-1707), Flandres, vers 1680

      Est: €5,000 - €8,000

      Jean Del Cour (1627-1707), Flandres, vers 1680 Vierge Immaculée / Immaculée d’Herckenrode Figure en bois sculpté et doré Reposant sur une base entièrement sculptée de forme rectangulaire H. : 46 cm (18 ¼ in.) Bibliographie comparative: R. Lesuisse, Le Sculpteur Jean Del Cour, 1953, p. 110, pl. 49.   A giltwood figure of the Madonna Immaculata, Jean Del Cour (1627-1707), Flemish, circa 1680  *Information aux acheteurs : Lot en provenance hors CEE : aux commissions et taxes indiquées aux conditions générales d'achat, il convient d'ajouter la TVA à l'import (5,5% du prix d'adjudication). *Information to the buyers : Lot from outside the EEC : an import tax (5,5 % of the hammer price) will be due, in addition to the commissions and taxes indicated in the general conditions of purchase. Jean Del Cour (1631-1707) débute son apprentissage auprès du moine chartreux Arnold Henrand. Il s’installe à Rome en 1648 ou il restera une dizaine d’années et devient l’élève de Bernini. De retour dans son pays natal, il créé son propre atelier liégeois en 1657. Une grande partie de son œuvre a été commandée par le clergé du prince-évêché de Liège. Artiste aux multiples talents, capable de travailler divers matériaux tels que le grès, le marbre, le bronze ou le bois comme notre figure ici présente. La draperie émotionnelle et gracieuse qui caractérise l’œuvre de cet important maître baroque montre clairement l’influence de Gian Lorenzo Bernini, qui, pendant ses voyages et ses études à Rome en 1664, était tuteur à la prestigieuse école de l’Accademia di San Luca à Rome.   Le modelé de notre figure est souple et complet et en tout point similaire à la terre cuite de Del cour conservée à Liège au musée Grand Curtius. Ces deux figures de l'Immaculée Conception en terre cuite et en bois préfigurent une statue en marbre réalisée pour l’abbaye d’Herkenrode vers 1681.

    • Jean Del Cour (Hamoir 1627- 1707 Liège), an exceptional terracotta preparatory sketch (bozzetto) of Saint James the Less, circa 1690 - 1691, H 46 cm.
      Oct. 21, 2021

      Jean Del Cour (Hamoir 1627- 1707 Liège), an exceptional terracotta preparatory sketch (bozzetto) of Saint James the Less, circa 1690 - 1691, H 46 cm.

      Est: €100,000 - €120,000

      Jean Del Cour (Hamoir 1627- 1707 Liège), an exceptional terracotta preparatory sketch (bozzetto) of Saint James the Less, circa 1690 - 1691, H 46 cm. Jean Del Cour (Hamoir 1627- 1707 Liège), an exceptional terracotta preparatory sketch (bozzetto) of Saint James the Less, circa 1690 - 1691, H 46 cm. The barefooted Saint raises his head and arms towards God and stands his right foot upon an open book. The emotionally agitated yet graceful drapery that characterizes the oeuvre of this important Baroque master clearly shows the influence of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who during his Rome travels and studies in 1664 was a tutor at the prestigious school of l'Accademia di San Luca in Rome. The work is one of two known terracotta preliminary studies for the imposing and dramatic wood sculpture of Saint James the Less made by Jean Del Cour for the church of Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur in Liège, and thus unique. The other known study was recently sold by Sotheby's (29.01.2021 - The Collection of Hester Diamond Part I - lot 119). The Benedictine monks of the church of Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur in Liège consigned Del Cour in 1682 to execute a series of eight wooden sculptures polychrome painted in a Carrara marble imitation. He created six monumental Saint figures remaining in situ: James the Less, James the Greater, Benedict, Hubert, Henry, and Scholastica. The most important of the lot, and one of the artist's greatest masterpieces, is the church's patron Saint, James the Less, which he created between 1690 - 1691. Jean Del Cour got his first lessons in sculpture from the Carthusian monk Arnold Henrand, started his own Liège workshop in 1657, and is one of the most important and influential sculptors of the 17th century Southern Netherlands. An important part of his work was commissioned by the Prince-Bishopric clergy of Liège. Most of the terracottas by Del Cour can be found today in museums in Liège, the majority in the Musée Curtius collection. The work was mentioned and illustrated in: René Lesuisse, 'Le Sculpteur Jean del Cour', Couillet 1953, p. 118 - 125. It was also part of the ‘Del Cour' exhibition in Liège, 1909, catalogue p. 23, N° 18. Provenance: former collection René van Bastelaer, Brussels.
