MAXIMILIAN PFEILER (act.1683-c.1721) - Nature morte romaine
Est: €4,000 - €6,000
MAXIMILIAN PFEILER (act.1683-c.1721) - Nature morte romaine Nature morte romaine Grande huile sur toile Dimensions : 98 x 73 cm Provenance : Collection privée, Monte-Carlo Peintre bohémien né à Prague, la vie de cet artiste de l'abondance et du faste est très peu documentée. En 1683 on trouve une première trace de lui comme élève de Christian Berentz et comme membre de la Guilde des Peintres à Prague. On le retrouve ensuite à Rome, actif de 1694 à 1721 et où il collabore avec Francesco Trevisani et Michele Rocca. Avec suffisamment de succès, Pfeiler se taille un rôle de premier plan sur la scne artistisque romaine animée des premières années du 18ème siècle et l'on sait que tout ce que la Ville éternelle compte de gens importants lui passe commandes de somptueuses compositions florales ou de natures mortes très extravagantes dont il était un spécialiste reconnu. Bien que la postérité l'ait un peu oublié, sa notoriété de son vivant devait être immense puisque l'on retrouvera ses compositions chez les amateurs d'art les plus éclairés de son temps, comme dans la collection du cardinal Fesch par exemple.

(attivo a Roma e documentato dal 1694 al 1721) Natura morta con fiori, versatoio e bicchieri Natura morta con frutti e fiori Olio su tela, cm 64X48 (2) Bibliografia: Archivio Zeri, nn. 87978 e 8779 L'attribuzione di queste due nature morte a Maximilian Pfeiler si deve a Federico Zeri (archivio Zeri nn. 87978 e 8779), ricordando altresì il riferimento a Gabriele Salci espresso da Hans Herbst. Detto questo è comunque indubbia la loro genesi capitolina, quando il genere della natura morta a Roma attenua la sua salda esuberanza barocca in virtù di una sensibilità e una eleganza prettamente rocaille, in modo particolare grazie all'apporto di artisti dell'Europa settentrionale. A tal proposito e per il fatto di aver contribuito in maniera significativa all'innovazione illustrativa del genere, si deve ricordare Christian Berentz (Amburgo, 1658 - Roma, 1722), che con la sua nitidezza di visione, tipica degli artisti nordici (Cfr. L. Salerno, La natura morta in Italia, Milano 1984, p. 260), e le intensità cromatico-luminose di gusto settecentesco, condizionò ad esempio lo stile di Cristoforo Munari, mentre Pfeiler e Salci fanno proprie le sue complesse composizioni, in cui gli autori esibiscono la loro bravura nel descrivere bicchieri di cristallo, versatoi dalle elaborate decorazioni a sbalzo e stoviglie d'argento. Particolarmente suggestionato dal maestro di Amburgo fu appunto Pfeiler, autore ricordato dalle fonti storiche (Lione Pascoli e Giuseppe Ghezzi) quale miglior allievo di Christian Berentz, da cui apprese il gusto raffinatissimo. I documenti indicano che nel 1710 collaborò con Francesco Trevisani nella realizzazione di due grandi tele con fiori, frutti e puttini presenti fin dal 1719 nella raccolta del conte Schonborn a Pommersfelden e nel 1721 firmava e datava uno dei suoi dipinti conservati al Museo Nazionale di Budapest, ma null'altra traccia documentaria viene in nostro aiuto per scandire il catalogo della sua produzione che solo recentemente è stata affrontata da Ludovica Trezzani. Per questo motivo la tele qui presentate sono una importante aggiunta al catalogo dell'artista, la cui produzione meriterebbe uno studio monografico. Le opere sono corredate da una perizia di Hans Herbst che le attribuisce a Gabriele Salci. Bibliografia di riferimento: L.

Maximilian Pfeiler (1656–1746), Still Life with Grapes and Parrot
Est: €4,000 - €6,000
Maxmilián Pfeiler became a member of the Prague Lesser Town painting guild in 1683 and is known to have lived in Rome from 1694 to 1721. In Rome he was influenced by the works of Christian Berentz and Franz Werner Tamm (1658–1724). The still life is spread outside, probably in a garden. A silver plate and bowl overflowing with blue and green grapes, apples and pomegranates are placed on a lace-trimmed tablecloth. A red parrot sits on the right edge of the picture and looks at the viewer. The fine, gray leaves of the vine in the background on the left respond with their filigree to the lace of the tablecloth. The lace tablecloth has a P embroidered in the corner, which is a reference to Pfeiler's surname. We would like to thank Fred Meijer his expert opinion.

Maximilian Pfeiler (1656 Prag - 1746 Rom) attr.; Früchtestillleben Auf einem mit feinen Tüchern gedeckten Tisch in einem Korb bzw. auf einem Silbertablett arrangierte Weintrauben und verschiedene Südfrüchte, in deren Zentrum eine halbierte und geschälte Orange mit zugehörigem Messer liegt. Aufgrund der Charakteristika in Stil, Motiv und Komposition dürfte das künstlerisch herausragende, delikat gemalte, barocke Prunkstillleben plausibel dem böhmischen Maler Maximilian Pfeiler zuzuschreiben sein. In Rom stieg er zu einem der bedeutendsten Stilllebenmaler der 1. Hälfte des 18. Jhs. auf. Er war ein Schüler des ebenfalls in Rom tätigen Hamburger Malers Christian Berentz (1658 - 1722) und arbeitete verschiedentlich mit Francesco Trevisani (1656 - 1746) zusammen. Eine qualitätvolle Kollektion von Werken Pfeilers befindet sich in der Pinakothek in München. Öl/Lwd., doubl.; 69 cm x 51 cm. Rahmen. Attributed to Maximilian Pfeiler (1656 - 1746).

Maximilian Pfeiler (documented 1683–1721) - attributed Pair of Paintings with Still Life
Est: €12,000 - €14,000
A still life made from a cut melon, grapes, plums, pears and other fruits is arranged in front of a stone. A bowl full of fruits stands on the stone. A tree frames the scene on the left. Several grapes hang in front of a stone block and two trees, in the foreground are four pomegranates, on the left is a basket with fruits and the view goes into the distance, where mountains rise on the horizon. The still life with the melon is reminiscent of the works of hardly explored Bohemia Maximilian Pfeiler. He became a member of the painters' guild in Prague in 1683 and stayed in Rome from 1694 to 1721. The second still life may have been painted by another artist to complement the first.

The refined compositions of these paintings feature various fruit arranged on a flat stone surface outdoors. One of the paintings features peaches, grapes, pears, and plums arranged by a body of water with two ducks, blue-toned flowers and large heads of cabbage. The dominant element of the second painting is a group of figs in a white napkin with elaborate lace edging, pumpkins, and grapes with leaves. The delicate brushwork and a bright colour palette are typical of Maximilian Pfeiler's paintings.
