    Dies, Albert Christoph: Ideale Flusslandschaft mit zwei Frauen

    Est: €1,500 - €1,800

    Ideale Flusslandschaft mit zwei Frauen. Feder in Grau, Pinsel in Braun. 23 x 28 cm. Unten links am Felsen signiert und datiert "A. C. Dies / 1804". Wz. C & I Honig mit dem Fragment eines Wappens. Nach der Besetzung durch die französischen Truppen Napoleons verließ Albert Christoph Dies im Mai 1796 Rom und ließ sich nach einem kurzen Aufenthalt in Salzburg im Herbst 1797 in Wien nieder. Dort erlangte er schnell die Gunst des Fürsten Esterházy und wurde zum gefragten Künstler. Die vorliegende Landschaft ist in Wien entstanden und zeigt eine idyllische Szene an einem Gebirgsbach, an dessen Ufer sich zwei junge Frauen in Empiregewändern niedergelassen haben. Sie ist eine Ideallandschaft, die der Einbildungskraft des Künstlers entsprungen ist und die in der Tradition der klassizistischen Landschaft, die Jakob Philipp Hackert in Rom über Jahrzehnte hinweg in seinen Sepiablättern etabliert hat, steht. Nur wenige Zeichnungen von Dies aus seiner Wiener Zeit sind erhalten, da eine durch Bleizuckervergiftung ausgelöste Lähmung die Kunstausübung des Zeichners ab etwa 1809 verhinderte. - Provenienz: C. G. Boerner, Düsseldorf. Privatsammlung Norddeutschland. - Literatur: Peter Prange, in: Figur und Landschaft. Werke des 19. Jahrhunderts aus zwei Hamburger Privatsammlungen, Ausst. Kat.

    Albert Christoph Dies (1755 Hannover - 1822 Vienna): Ruins of the Villa of Brutus in Tivoli, 1794, Etching Technique: Etching on Paper Inscription: Signed in the printing plate: "A. C. Dies fece Roma". Inscribed in the printing plate: "Avanzi della Villa di M. Bruto a Tivoli". Dated: "1794". Date: 1794 Description: The Hanover-born landscape painter Albrecht Christoph Dies is often described as an autodidact who turned to painting without any academic training. In 1775, at the age of 20, after a rudimentary apprenticeship with an unknown painter, he apparently decided "spontaneously" (Schmid 1998, p.162) to extend his wanderings in the German-speaking region to Italy. In the same year, he settled in Rome and earned his living by colouring engravings in the renowned Roman veduta workshops of Piranesi, Durcos and Volpato. Occasional jobs such as copying popular artists trained him further in painting and sharpened his eye for the landscape paintings of Jacob Philipp Hackert. Dies also pursued Hackert's idea of realistic landscape portraits in the etchings shown here. The artist deliberately chose a picturesque composition, as it was above all important to him to reproduce the landscape and architecture precisely, almost to portray them. The romantic and picturesque atmosphere exuded by both the barrel vaults of the Villa of Brutus in Tivoli, overgrown by nature, and the mighty, spray-spraying cascades of the waterfalls at the Villa Gregoriana near Tivoli, is thus in neither case contrary to the artist's actual view. Rather, the special charm of these depictions lies in the fact that they were drawn on location from nature and transferred to the copper plate by Dies himself. Only the staffage of animals and people, which give the pictures their liveliness, were freely invented and deliberately used. The depictions of botany and geological events are of particular interest. Influenced by the rise of the natural sciences at the end of the 18th century, visual artists also developed an awareness of the accurate reproduction of animals, plants and rocks as well as the aesthetics of natural replicas. Marcus Brutus was a lawyer in Rome. His villa, mentioned by Cicero in the 2nd book of "De Oratore", is located on the road to San Gregorio on the southern slope of Tivoli.

    Est: €4,000 - €8,000

    Christoph Albert Dies Hanover 1755 - 1822 Vienna Pastoral Landscape Oil on canvas, relined 130.5 x 168 cm, with frame 142 x 179 cm Signature removed & affixed to the reverse Label on the reverse: "At the request of Consul Weiss, the very badly damaged painting by A. C. Dies was trimmed from 300 x 250 cm to 163 x 167 cm in 1803. The signature was previously located at the lower right edge of the large painting and has now been transplanted to the reverse of the stretcher. 20. VI. 1962" Albert Christoph Dies was a German painter and engraver known for his pastoral landscapes and classical compositions. Born in Hanover, Germany, Dies studied under the well-known artist Jakob Philipp Hackert. His early career was influenced by his travels through Italy, particularly Rome, where he explored the traditions of landscape painting. He eventually settled in Vienna, where he became a member of the Academy of Fine Arts. He gained great renown for his landscape paintings, which often depicted serene and idyllic scenes. These were inspired by the beauty of nature that he had encountered on his travels. In addition to his work as a painter, Dies was also a skilful engraver, demonstrating his versatility and artistic depth. This painting by Albert Christoph Dies shows an idyllic pastoral landscape that demonstrates his attention to detail. A majestic tree rises in the left foreground, its branches spreading out and providing shade for the shepherd family below. This tree introduces the viewer to the landscape and simultaneously conveys a sense of grandeur and depth. The shepherd family depicted with their flock appears relaxed and epitomises the harmonious relationship between people and nature, a hallmark of pastoral scenes. The shepherd and his dogs are tending the flock while the mother looks after her children. In the middle ground, the roofs and church tower of a picturesque village protrude from the landscape, adding a human element to the otherwise natural surroundings. The church tower in particular serves as a focal point, directing the viewer's gaze to the heart of the village and conveying a sense of community. Behind the village, the sky is reflected in a lake whose calm waters seem to stretch to the horizon. The background is dominated by majestic mountains whose peaks rise into the sky and lend the scene an air of grandeur. The interplay of light and shadow on the mountains creates a dynamic contrast that enhances the overall composition. The use of colour and light in this painting is particularly remarkable. The earthy, warm colour tones evoke a sense of peace and timelessness, while the careful rendering of the natural elements, from the texture of the tree bark to the snow-capped mountain peaks, demonstrates his technical skill and powers of observation.

Vgl. zur Erstausgabe Andresen 52–75. Neuausgabe des Würzburger Verlegers A. Memminger aus dem Jahr 1886 von den originalen Platten des bis 1798 bei Frauenholz in Nürnberg erschienenen Sammelwerks der "Mahlerisch radirte[n] Prospecte von Italien". Diese waren "nach Auflösung der Frauenholz''schen Handlung" über verschiedene Zwischenstationen schließlich in das "Eigenthum der A. Memminger''schen Buchdruckerei in Würzburg" gelangt. Vgl. zur Erstausgabe: F. Carlo Schmid, Naturansichten und Ideallandschaften, die Landschaftsgraphik von Johann Christian Reinhart und seinem Umkreis, Berlin 1998, Kap. 2, I, 3. Die "Mahlerisch radirte[n] Prospecte" stellen am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts eines der ehrgeizigsten Projekte auf dem Gebiet der Landschaftgrafik dar. Anders als früher – als häufig die immer gleichen Ansichten Italiens abgebildet wurden – sollten nun bisher unbekannte Gegenden des Landes jenseits der Alpen bekannt gemacht werden – in einer ebenfalls neuen malerisch grafischen Auffassung. Nicht nur hatte der Nürnberger Verleger Johann Friedrich Frauenholz mit drei herausragenden Künstlerpersönlichkeiten zu arbeiten. Gerade Johann Christian Reinhart versuchte, seine eigenen Vorstellungen denen des Verlegers entgegen zu setzen. Während Frauenholz auch auf die Wirtschaftlichkeit des Vorhabens schauen musste, wollte Reinhart nicht hinter seinen künstlerischen Ansprüchen zurücktreten. Johann Christian Reinhart 1761 Hof / Bayern – 1847 Rom Deutscher Maler, Zeichner und Radierer. Ab 1778 Studium der Theologie in Leipzig sowie Studium der Zeichenkunst an der dortigen Zeichnungs-, Mahlerey- und Architecturakademie bei A.F. Oeser. Ab 1783 in Dresden ansässig und nahm Privatunterricht bei Johann Christian Klengel. Teilnahme an der Dresdner Akademieausstellung. 1785 wieder in Leipzig ansässig, Freundschaft mit Schiller. Siedelte 1789 nach Rom, völlige Stiländerung durch Beeinflussung von Künstlern wie Koch und Carstens.

    Dies, Albert Christoph: Der Septimius Severus-Bogen auf dem Forum Romanum

    Est: €3,600 - €4,500

    Der Septimius Severus-Bogen auf dem Forum Romanum. Gouache auf Bütten. 50,5 x 67 cm. Auf dem Stein links signiert und datiert "A. C. Dies. p[inxit] 1791". Albert Christoph Dies studierte an der Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, bevor er mit einem Zwischenstopp in Mannheim für drei Monate nach Basel zu Christian van Mechel ging, um bei ihm zu lernen. Anschließend reiste er im August 1775 nach Rom, wo er bis 1796 blieb. In Italien betrieb er vor allem das Naturstudium und nahm sich die Landschaftskulisse der Albaner Berge und Tivoli zur Vorlage. In Rom lebt Dies mit dem Archäologen Friedrich Hirth zusammen. Durch ihn lernte er auch Goethe kennen, für den er eine seiner Zeichnungen kolorierte. Zwischen 1792 und 1798 arbeitete Dies mit den Landschaftern Johann Christian Reinhart und Jacob Wilhelm Mechau zusammen und veröffentlichte mit ihnen die „Mahlerisch radierten Prospecte von Italien“ bei Frauenholz in Nürnberg - die Radierungen bilden ein Bindemitglied zwischen Klassizismus und Romantik und gehen über die bloße Vedutenmalerei hinaus. In Rom entstehen mehrere Gouachen, in denen Dies die ewige Stadt und die Umgebung mit ihren antiken Ruinen zeigt - selbstverständlich ist das Forum Romanum als Fundus römischer Baukunst eine naheliegende Motivquelle für ihn. In vorliegender Zeichnung zeigt Dies den noch zu Teilen im Erdreich verborgenen Septimus-Serverus Bogen. Der Triumphbogen steht am nordwestlichen Ende des Forum Romanum, durch dessen mittleren Bogen die Via Sacra in Richtung Kapitol führt. Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Bogen schließlich freigelegt. - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.
