    • Philipp Otto Schäfer, Allegory of Air
      May. 16, 2024

      Philipp Otto Schäfer, Allegory of Air

      Est: €2,500 - €3,500

      Signed lower right: Phil. Otto Schaefer Under glass in the original artist's frame The "Four Elements" series by Philipp Otto Schäfer was exhibited at the annual exhibition of the Munich Glaspalast in 1903. The "Allegory of the Air" shows a scene in the clouds with the lovers Venus and Mars. The god of war is leaving his lover, with their son Cupid standing between them with bow and arrow. Two winged cherubs gathered around a fireplace symbolise the motto "Sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus" (Without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus freezes), which is familiar from emblematics and European Renaissance and Baroque art. The "Allegory of Air" is the counterpart to the "Allegory of Fire", which shows the gigantic volcano, Venus' consort, in his forge. Philipp Otto Schäfer, who worked in Munich from 1888 to the end of 1908, belonged to the Luitpold Group. His early exploration of antiquity and the Renaissance led him deeper and deeper into this world, which had a lasting influence on his artistic direction. The allegories of the four elements are characteristic works for Schäfer's artistic work, his subjects and a very unique colouring.

      Philipp Otto Schäfer, The Serenade

      Est: €12,000 - €15,000

      Signed and dated lower right: Phil. Otto Schaefer 1900. Additionally indistinctly signed lower left: Phil. Otto SchaeferWith several labels to the stretcher: “196“, “K. V. H. / 1923“, “F. K. V. / No. 324“, “Berliner Kunstausstellung 1901“, and above: “Thüringer Ausstellungsverein b[ildender] Künstler. Zentrale Weimar“.Philipp Otto Schäfer was the son of an art history professor and studied at the academies of Vienna, Karlsruhe (Ferdinand Keller), Munich (Ludwig von Löfftz) and Frankfurt. He not only painted portraits, primarily for the South German aristocracy, but also worked on murals and ceiling frescoes - participating on the artistic décor of Joseph Maria Olbrich's “Hochzeitsturm” in Darmstadt in 1908. This commission provides a terminus post quem for his death, the exact date of which remains unknown.Other works by this artist depict motifs from classical mythology or figures in nature. The present work shows a young girl sitting under a tree, accompanied by three young musicians. This is probably the work exhibited at the Munich Glaspalast in 1900 and in the Große Berliner Kunstausstellung in 1901 under the title “Ständchen” (Serenade) and is presumably still housed in the original frame. A general comment in a first biographical sketch of the artist written by a contemporary in 1901 perfectly sums up the atmosphere of this work: “His landscape backdrops are inhabited by figures who appear to happily dream their lives away - idealised idlers.” (A. Heilmeyer, in: Die Kunst unserer Zeit, 1901, p. 73).
