Matthijs Naiveu, 1647 Leiden - 1721/26 Amsterdam
Est: €50,000 - €60,000
KIRKE UND ODYSSEUS Öl auf Leinwand. Doubliert. 52,5 x 93 cm. Links unten signiert und datiert 1702. In vergoldetem ornamental verzierten Rahmen mit Künstlernennung. Dank dem Zauberkraut Moly, welches Odysseus von Hermes erhalten hatte, um sich gegen die Zauberkünste von Kirke zu wappnen, gelingt es ihm, wie hier zu sehen, in ihr Anwesen auf der Waldlichtung vorzudringen und sie mit dem Schwert zu bedrohen, ohne wie seine Gefährten in ein Schwein verwandelt worden zu sein. Kirke, hier nicht an einem von Göttern gefertigtem Webstuhl sitzend, sondern vielmehr thronend, wirkt überrascht, nicht von der Ankunft des Odysseus, die ihr bereits prophezeit wurde, sondern vielmehr von der Unwirksamkeit ihres Zaubers ihm gegenüber. Schüler des Glasmalers Abraham Toorenvliet (um 1620-1692) sowie von Gerrit Dou (1613-1675). 1671 trat er in die Sankt Lukasgilde in Leiden ein. Die Darstellung von mythologischen Szenen ist die Ausnahme in dem Schaffen des Leidener Malers, der sich vornehmlich der Genremalerei widmete. Provenienz: Auktion, Sotheby’s, London, 6. Dezember 2002, lot 149. (1261782) (1) (13) Matthijs Naiveu, 1647 Leiden - 1721/26 Amsterdam CIRCE AND ODYSSEUS Oil on canvas. Relined. 52.5 x 93 cm. Signed lower left and dated 1702.

Matthijs Naiveu, Elegant Company in an Interior
Est: €60,000 - €80,000
Signed centrally (to the mantlepiece): NaiveuAt first glance, the present work may simply appear to depict a group of elegant courtly or bourgeoisie figures in an opulently decorated interior. However, both the classically inspired clothing of the two main protagonists, as well as the harlequin's costume carried upon the arm of the man on the right edge of the work indicate that we are in fact observing a theatre production.The scene was already recognised as such in the catalogue to the exhibition “Vom Adel der Malerei” shown in Cologne, Dordrecht and Kassel in 2006/2007. In her 2007 dissertation on Matthijs Naiveu, Adele-Marie Dzidzaria interpreted the scene further (op. cit.). She postulates that it does not show the finished production, but rather a rehearsal, which would explain why the man on the left carries his costume instead of wearing it - he may have come late to practice or not yet changed clothes. This assumption also allows us to interpret the figure of a woman behind the lady with the feathers in her hair, who we can identify as the heroine of the piece, as a tailor making finial adjustments to the protagonist's costume. Dzidzaria assumes the man in the left background to be the impresario of the piece.This is not an entirely unusual motif for Matthijs Naiveu. This painter was born in Leiden and taught by Abraham Toorenvliet the Elder and Gerard Dou - he may even have been Dou's last pupil. Naiveu became a member of the Guild of Saint Luke in 1671 and first began painting genre pieces in the Leiden Fijnschilder tradition, before turning to the depiction of theatre scenes in the late 1670s. His works are characterised by their finely detailed interiors, decorated with gilt stucco, leather wallpaper, fine carpets and furniture.In this interior he has also depicted several paintings on the back wall: A depiction of “Venus and Cupid” flanked by two scenes from Bellérophon above the fireplace. It is uncertain whether the artist intended these paintings as a hint to the piece being staged, as both were popular subjects in contemporary operas and plays. Whatever the production, Naiveu presents us with a highly original, imaginative depiction of a theatre rehearsal in an opulent and vividly coloured setting.

Leegenhoek, Paris (according to a text on the reverse); Anonymous sale, London, Sotheby's, 1 November 2001, lot 100 (as attributed to Matthijs Naiveu). NOTE Although the Leiden born Matthijs Naiveu was a pupil of Gerard Dou (1613-1675), this picture does not show the detailed style, nor subject matter, associated with Dou and the Leiden Fine painters. Naiveu's paintings of later date are more coarse in style, and show a more colourful palette. They also depict a new subject matter of street scenes with a strong narrative character, all of which this work is a good example. (See E.J. Sluiter (ed.), Leidse Fijnschilders, Van Gerrit Dou tot Frans van Mieris de Jonge 1630-1760, exhibition catalogue, Zwolle/Leiden 1988, pp. 186-95).

Est: $14,000 - $21,000
The interior of a classroom with a schoolmaster sharpening a plume indistincly signed 'Naiveu Fecit' (upper centre) oil on panel 13 1/8 x 16 in. (33.1 x 40.6 cm.) NOTES The artist was the son of a wine merchant from Rotterdam and began his training with Abraham Toorenvliet (c. 1620-1692), a glass painter and drawing master in Leiden. From 1667 to 1669 Naiveu was apprenticed to Gerrit Dou, who received 100 guilders a year (an exceptionally high sum) for his instruction. In 1671 Naiveu entered the Leiden Guild of St Luke, of which he became the head in 1677 and again in 1678, the year in which he moved to Amsterdam, where he was later appointed hop inspector.

Est: $36,250 - $50,750
An elegant interior with a gentleman paying court to a lady signed 'Naiveu' (centre, over the fireplace) oil on canvas 211/2 x 251/2 in. (54.6 x 64.8 cm.) NOTES This type of sumptuous interior was a theme that featured prominently in the early work of the artist; see for instance the picture sold at Sotheby's, New York, 30 January 1997, lot 199A. The refined handling and attention to detail reveals the influence of Gerrit Dou to whom Naiveu was apprenticed in the late 1660s.
