HIERONYMUS FRANCKEN I (JEROME FRANCKEN) (HERENTALS, BELGIUM, 1540 - PARIS, 1610)
Est: €8,000 - €12,000
Hieronymus Francken I (Jerome Francken) (Herentals, Belgium, 1540 - Paris, 1610) ‘Possible portrait of Cosimo II de Medici’. Miniature in oil on copper. Accompanied by a carved and gilded wooden frame. Signed on the back: ‘Hs. Fran.co Signiati’. 5,5 x 4,3 cm. The subject of the portrait, Cosimo II de Medici (Florence, 1590 - 1621) ruled as IV Grand Duke of Tuscany from 1609 until the date of his death. Jerome Francken, brother of the painters Ambrosius and Frans Francken I, settled permanently in Paris in 1572. There he became associated with a family of Italian origin, the Mirailles, which explains why he changed his name to ‘Hiérome Franco’, and signed his name in that way on this copperplate. His artistic recognition in France was such that he acquired an official position, being appointed official painter to Queen Louise of Lorraine in 1578, a title he retained during the reign of Henri IV in the service of Maria de' Medici, Queen Consort of France (1600-1610) and Queen Regent (1610-1617), who is remembered for her outstanding performance as a collector and patron of the arts. There are only two paintings signed by this artist and executed during his Parisian period: the first, ‘The Nativity’, painted for the Cordelier friars of Paris and now kept in one of the chapels of Notre-Dame, signed ‘HIERONIMUS FRANCO’ and dated 1585; and the second, a self-portrait in an oval format, kept in the Musée Granet d'Aix, apparently dated in the same year. This miniature would join the two mentioned above, making a total of three paintings undoubtedly by Jerome Francken; as his signature attests. Reference bibliography: - Scailliérez, Cécile (2016).

Hieronymus Francken I detto il Vecchio (Herentals 1540 - Parigi 1610)
Est: €2,500 - €3,500
Hieronymus Francken I detto il Vecchio (Herentals 1540 - Parigi 1610) Maga Circe Olio su rame 55 x 72,5 cm Interessante rame raffigurante una figura femminile posta a destra sotto un baldacchino, adornato da un tendaggio blu, alla cui sinistra si apre una tipica veduta fiamminga sul giardino di un castello. A destra della ragazza, su di un tavolo, sono visibili una serie abbondante di oggetti preziosi di grande bellezza: tipico richiamo allo stile Pronkstilleven, adottato nel XVII secolo dai pittori fiamminghi, di cui Frans Snyders e Jan Davidsz furono precursori. In realtà l'opera in questione, come spesso succede in ambito fiammingo, ha una duplice chiave di lettura: una più decorativa ed elegante, che ci mostra una bella e giovane donna in un ambiente nobiliare; l’altra, determinata dalla conchiglia e dallo stiletto, ci permette di dedurre che l’effigiata sia la maga Circe. Questa seconda lettura è apertamente moralistica e, in linea con la mentalità del tempo sia nelle aree di cristianesimo riformato sia cattolico, avverte l’osservatore circa i rischi del piacere dei sensi. Hieronymus Francken I fa parte di una delle più rinomate dinastie pittoriche della storia: figlio del pittore Nicolaes Francken, fratello Frans Francken I e Ambrosius Francken I, e parente di altri artisti che sono succeduti a questa generazione. Secondo il biografo dell'inizio del XVII secolo Karel van Mander, che si riferisce a lui tre volte usando tre nomi diversi, cioè Ieroon Francken van Herenthals, Ieroon Vrancks, e Ieroon Franck, Francken fu un allievo di Frans Floris. Non è documentato, ma pare sia stato in Italia dopo la sua formazione ad Anversa, anche se il suo famoso dipinto “Carnevale di Venezia”, oggi al Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum di Aachen, pare suggerlo. Invece è sicura la sua presenza dal 1566 al 1572 in Francia per decorare il Palazzo di Fontainebleau. Hieronymus è nominato pittore di corte alla corte francese nel 1594, servendo un gran numero di re e regine tra cui Luisa di Lorena (nel 1578, 1587 e 1588), Enrico III di Francia (nel 1583), la regina madre Caterina de' Medici (nel 1586, 1600 e 1603) ed Enrico IV di Francia (nel 1603 e 1610) nonché Maria de' Medici (nel 1603). I dipinti “Cortigiani che passeggiano in un giardino” passato il 31/01/2013 alla Sotheby's di New York, e “Cortigiani nel giardino di un castello”, passato alla Koller di Zurigo il 16/03/2000, sono ottimi esempi di confronto.

ALLEGORIE DER LUST Öl auf Leinwand. Doubliert. 105,3 x 139 cm. Links unten auf dem Fuß des linken Kruges monogrammiert „HF“. In ebonisiertem und teilbronzierten Rahmen. Hieronymus Francken schuf mehrere solcher Innenansichten mit tanzenden bzw. musizierenden Paaren. Im Vordergrund dargestellt ein Cembalo, welches rechts diagonal in den Raum hineinführt und die Musizierende in verlorenem Profil zusammen mit einem Lautenspieler und einem Sänger gezeigt. Während die dargestellten Personen noch tanzen, sind ihre Gesten – man sehe sich nur den Finger in der Hand der Dame im Mittelgrund an – bereits auf den folgenden Geschlechtsakt konzentriert. Darauf deuten auch die Austern im Vordergrund hin, das Gemälde mit Jupiter, welcher als Goldregen in Danae eindringt über dem Kamin und ein hinter einem Vorhang außerhalb des Raumes rechts sich vollziehender Koitus. Ein Hund als Zeichen der Treue hat bereits aufgegeben und wendet sich vom Geschehen ab, dem Betrachter zu, in der Hoffnung, dass er das Gemälde als warnende moralische Instanz verstanden haben möge.

Hieronymus Francken I Flemish, 1540-1610 Banquet Scene: An Allegory of Love and Carnality
Est: $10,000 - $20,000
Hieronymus Francken I Flemish, 1540-1610 Banquet Scene: An Allegory of Love and Carnality Monogrammed HF on the foot of the tall jug (ll) Oil on canvas 41 1/4 x 54 3/4 inches (104.8 x 138 cm) Provenance: Private collection, France Hieronymus Francken (1540-1610), one of a family of artists, was born near Antwerp and trained there before moving to France, where he spent most of his career, although he returned repeatedly to Antwerp to refresh family and professional ties throughout his life. In France he worked for a number of noble and royal patrons, painting a variety of subjects, including scenes of elegant people feasting and dancing. A characteristic example of this last type is this Banquet Scene, probably painted during the 1590s. Here we are asked to consider a dissolute young man in the left foreground, eating and drinking from a table arrayed with oysters, meat pies, a roast chicken, fruit, and wine. At the same time he embraces an amorous lady, while a procuress hovers over them. In contrast to these three, at the center of the room a genteel couple is shown dancing ceremoniously to the strains of a lute and a clavichord. Hung on the walls are love scenes from Greek mythology, a visual gloss that makes it clear that the subject of this painting is love. The meaning here is more pointedly brought home by two vignettes visible through the window at the back of the room. In the far distance we can see this same young man in two separate moments in the future, first being roughly thrust from the door of a tavern and then wallowing in the mud of a pig sty. These episodes are a clear reference to the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15: 12-16), who squandered his money in wild living, and as a result was reduced to tending swine, even envying them their coarse food. The painting is thus a moralizing allegory on the value of genuine and committed love-exemplified by the couple moving harmoniously to the music-and the folly and destructive dissipation of carnality.
