Christian Anton Goering, Hacienda near Guataparo in Venezuela
Est: €4,000 - €5,000
Ref19C121121 Framed under glass. With his thirst for zoological and geological knowledge and expeditions, Christian Anton Goering embodied a type of artist that emerged during the optimistic and progress-orientated 19th century; only to fade out again gradually in the disillusionment of the 20th century. Born in 1836 in Schönhaide in the Thuringian Altenburger Land, Christian Anton Goering was encouraged in his scientific observations by his father, a passionate ornithologist. Following a period in which he worked as a taxidermist and conservator at the zoological museum of the University of Halle, he undertook his first research voyage in 1850, travelling through South America and visiting Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Following his return to Europe, he began to pursue his artistic studies further in 1860 and was taught by Hermann Knaur (1811-1872) in Leipzig and by the famous animal illustrator Joseph Wolf (1820-1899) in London. This symbiosis between his scientific and artistic endeavours made him predestined - entirely in-keeping with the pioneering spirit of the 19th century - for a further research voyage to the tropics of South America, this time under the auspices of the Zoological Society of London. Following in the footsteps of his idol and role model Alexander von Humboldt, who was also held in high esteem in Latin America, Christian Anton Goering traversed the various landscapes of Venezuela, capturing them in travel reports, atmospheric drawings and watercolours that found a ready audience in Europe among the upper middle classes with their interest in exotic locales and striving for encyclopedic knowledge. Christian Anton Goering moved to Leipzig in 1876 where, inspired by his travel experiences, he pursued a successful career as a landscape painter and illustrator. He rose to fame in his chosen home in Saxony before passing away in Leipzig in 1905 following a long illness.

Goering, Christian Anton: Flamingos im Urwald von Venezuela
Est: €2,600 - €3,500
Flamingos im Urwald von Venezuela. Aquarell auf Papier, auf Karton aufgezogen. 73,3 x 53,8 cm. Unten rechts signiert "A. Goering / 1875", verso ein Aufkleber der Galerie Commeter, Hamburg. Das Reisen war im 19. Jahrhundert nicht nur plaisir, sondern meist mit der Erforschung weit entfernter Weltgegenden verbunden. So bricht auch Anton Christian Goering auf den Spuren Alexander von Humboldts 1856 als Begleiter von Hermann Burmeister zu seiner ersten Forschungsreise nach Südamerika auf. Zwei Jahre sollte die Reise des Ornithologen, Zoologen und Tierpräparators, der, wie wir sehen, auch ein äußerst geübter Zeichner war, durch die La-Plata Staaten Brasilien, Uruguay und Argentinien dauern. Wieder in Deutschland kehrte er zurück auf seine Stelle am Zoologischen Museum der Universität Halle. Goering bildete sich stetig zeichnerisch weiter. Nachdem er bereits in jungen Jahren an der Kunstschule Bernhard von Lindenaus in Altenburg seinen ersten Unterricht erhielt, verlässt er 1860 Halle und studiert bis 1864 Zeichnen, Malen und Bildhauerei bei Hermann Knaur in Leipzig. Anschließend ermöglichte ihm ein Reisestipendium ein Studium bei Joseph Wolf in London, der für seine hervorragenden Tierzeichnungen bekannt war. Im Jahre 1866 unternahm er schließlich seine erste eigene Forschungsreise nach Südamerika im Auftrag der Zoological Society of London. Sein Hauptziel war Venezuela, wo er acht Jahre lang für die Sammlung des Natural History Museums Vogelbälge anfertigte und die Flora des Landes erforschte. Er entdeckte unter anderem die bis dahin bei Forschern unbekannten Höhlen bei Caripe. Mit seinen Reisen leistete Goering einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erforschung Venezuelas. 1893 publizierte er zudem seine Reiseeindrücke im Adalbert Fischer Verlag Leipzig unter dem Titel „Vom tropischen Tieflande zum ewigen Schnee. Eine malerische Schilderung des schönsten Tropenlandes Venezuela“. Unter anderem lieferte er auch Illustrationen für Brehms Tierleben. Die Flamingos, die Goering in vorliegender Zeichnung nur in Miniaturgröße zeigt, waren des Öfteren Gegenstand seiner Zeichnungen. - 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.

Christian Anton Goering (1836-1905) LAKE VALENCIA VENEZUELA signed, dated 1882, inscribed Leipzig and with the title See v. Valencia, Venezuela, pencil and watercolour, 33 x 52cm The artist, explorer and naturalist, Anton Goering was the son of a Saxon wood-carver and taxidermist. His early interest in ornithology was further developed under Hermann Burmeister (1807-1892), Professor of Zoology at Halle. Burmeister, under the auspices of Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) and Goering travelled to South America in the 1850s. Goering later went to London in order to study under Joseph Wolf (1820-1899), the most accomplished bird painter of the mid 19th c. Here Goering became a protégé of Philip Lutley Sclater (1829-1913), Secretary to the Zoological Society of London and met the important naturalist Osbrt Salvin (1835-1898). Through contact with such important figures in scientific circles, Goering was able again to fund an expedition, this time specifically to explore and record Venezuela. He landed at Carapano in 1866 and spent eight years exploring, drawing and collecting plants and animals. He married and settled in Leipzig in 1874. His rare watercolours are important for depicting the fauna of Venezuela in its natural habitat, when photography was practically non-existent.
