Justus Sustermans (1597 - 1681), da Ferdinando II de' Medici, Gran Duca di Toscana
Est: -
Justus Sustermans (1597 - 1681), da Ferdinando II de' Medici, Gran Duca di Toscana Olio su tela 86,7 x 71,3 cm Provenienza: Felix Semyonov, New York - Roma Stato di conservazione. Supporto: 60% (rintelo e rintelaiatura; tela sfondata in più punti e risarcita) Stato di conservazione. Superficie: 60% (consunzione della pittura; cadute di colore; ampie integrazioni pittoriche) L'opera è in relazione, per la postura, con il ritratto ufficiale di Ferdinando II de' Medici (1610-1670) come Gran Duca di Toscana, una grande tela a figura quasi intera oggi nella cosiddetta "serie dei serenissimi principi" alla Galleria degli Uffizi (inv. 1890, n. 2249). Il Gran Duca venne più volte ritratto dal maestro, tra l'altro alla stessa età del nostro dipinto in affresco nella Villa Medicea in Poggio a Caiano, dove appare con la folta capigliatura che osserviamo anche nella tela in asta. Meno probabile per lievi differenze anatomiche, ma comunque possibile, l'identificazione con Mattias de' Medici (1613–1667), terzo figlio maschio di Cosimo II. Ferdinando II fu tra i primi sovrani europei a intrattenere, piuttosto apertamente, relazioni omosessuali. Lunga quasi due decenni la vicenda amorosa con il suo paggio Bruto Annibaldi della Molara, come racconta lo staffiere Luigi Gualtieri nella sua "Storia della nobile e reale famiglia de' Medici" (edito come Luca Ombrosi, "Vita dei Medici sodomiti", Milano 1965). Benché la pennellata sia rapida e sicura, a pasta abbastanza ricca e gran parte dell'abito sia appena abbozzato sulla preparazione pittorica, il tono generale dell'opera, distante dalla raffinatezza di tocco tipica di Sustermans, porta a qualificare l'opera come copia, o comunque opera imitativa, come ci confermano, previo indipendente esame dell'opera attraverso immagini in alta definizione, Sandro Bellesi (comunicazione del 23 aprile 2021) e Lisa Goldenberg Stoppato (comunicazione del 24 aprile 2021). Lisa Goldenberg Stoppato, in particolare, segnala che «che le fattezze del granduca derivano dall'immagine a figura intera di Ferdinando II de' Medici in veste di antico romano, dipinta da Suttermans per il cardinale Leopoldo de' Medici, usando un cartone di Ciro Ferri». La studiosa ritiene, inoltre, che nel ritratto siano intervenuti due mani, una più abile responsabile per il viso, e un'aiutante di bottega, autore dell'armatura che pare sproporzionata rispetto al viso». Il rapporto iconografico trova ulteriore conferma attraverso il confronto con i ritratti dedicati dall'artista fiammingo a Ferdinando II conservati nelle collezioni degli Uffizi, intrapresa su cortese suggerimento del Direttore Eike Schmidt: in particolare, la postura compare già nel ritratto giovanile conservato a Palazzo Pitti (inv. 415 - Palatina (1912)) e quindi nella figura di "Ferdinando II con bastone del comando" esposto nel Palazzo degli Uffizi (inv. 2249 - 1890) e, speculare in un ulteriore ritratto a mezza figura (inv. 5243 - 1890). Le collezioni medicee offrono anche l'occasione per osservare lo stesso soggetto sviluppato in opere di attribuzione incerta (inv. 2334 - 1890), di bottega (inv. 2247 - 1890), di maniera (inv. (2922 - 1890, inv. 4217 - 1890) e copie (inv. 2462 - 1890). In favore di una attribuzione alla bottega dell'artista si è espresso Marco Horak che all'opera ha dedicato una approfondita scheda di cui riportiamo uno stralcio: «Il ritratto cui si riferiscono le presenti brevi note critiche venne realizzato nell’operosa bottega di Justus Sustermans in numerose repliche per far fronte alle svariate esigenze della committenza medicea. Infatti alcuni esemplari erano destinati a corredare diverse residenze della famiglia, mentre altri, forse i più numerosi, avevano finalità prettamente diplomatiche, nel senso che potevano essere impiegati come omaggi alla corte e, soprattutto, alle famiglie dinastiche in occasione di visite ufficiali. Non dimentichiamo, a tal proposito, l’importante rete di prestigiose parentele che univa Ferdinando II ad alcune delle principali dinastie europee: egli infatti era figlio del granduca Cosimo II e di Maria Maddalena d'Austria; suo padre morì quando Ferdinando aveva solamente 11 anni e fino alla sua maggiore età la Toscana fu affidata alla reggenza della madre e della nonna paterna, Cristina di Lorena, coadiuvate da un consiglio di reggenza. Ferdinando II sposò Vittoria della Rovere e attraverso il suo albero genealogico possiamo constatare i legami di parentela che la sua famiglia ebbe con gli Asburgo e con le famiglie dinastiche di Danimarca, Francia, Lorena, Boemia, Baviera, Baden, Toledo e molte altre ancora, senza dimenticare infine che, anche attraverso la famiglia della moglie – i della Rovere – la rete delle alleanze dinastiche si allargò agli Este, ai Gonzaga (che erano già imparentati con i Medici) e ad altre famiglie storiche italiane. Ecco quindi come si spiega la realizzazione da parte dello studio di Justus Sustermans di numerose repliche del ritratto di Ferdinando II». Ringraziamo il Prof. Sandro Bellesi, i dottori Lisa Goldenberg e Marco Horak per il supporto nella schedatura dell'opera e il dottor Eike Schmidt per i preziosi suggerimenti.

AFTER JUSTUS SUSTERMANS (FLEMISH, 1597-1681), PORTRAIT OF THE CROWN PRINCE OF DENMARK Late 19th century copy, oil on canvas, signed 'Justus Sustermans' lower left. Portrait of Danish Prince Waldemar Christian (1622-1656), son of King Christian IV (1577-1648), framed. The original painting by Sustermans is housed in the Palazzo Pitti. The plaque accompanying this portrait incorrectly lists the sitter as the son of King Frederick III (1609-1670), who was actually his half-brother and succeeded their father to the Danish throne. This lot is accompanied by a 1915 notarized letter describing provenance for the painting, and shipping insurance receipt from the same year. The letter, written by Louis H. Schulenberg of Chicago, states that he purchased the painting in a gallery liquidation auction in 1914. It was restored by a Joseph Pelligrino, 'former curator of an Italian Art Gallery', who at the time was living in New York. According to Schulenberg, the painting was purchased in Florence in 1889 by William Fisk Stone Jr., the son of an early Colorado Supreme Court justice. Schulenberg gifted the painting to his brother Fred on the occasion of his marriage in 1915, and it descended in his family to the current owner.

Justus o Giusto Sustermans (Anversa 1597 - Firenze 1681) bottega/seguace di Ritratto di Margherita de' Medici Olio su tela 67 x 54,5 cm Il dipinto riprende, in controparte, il ritratto di Margherita de Medici eseguito da Giusto Sustermans e conservato al Museo degli Uffizi di Firenze. Margherita de Medici sposò nel 1628 Odoardo Farnese e alla sua morte ebbe la reggenza del ducato di Parma e Piacenza, in nome del figlio Ranuccio II. Dall'abito che indossa e dal velo sul capo, si deduce la sua vedovanza, perciò Sustermans eseguì il ritratto, oggi agli Uffizi dopo il 1646, anno di morte del consorte Odoardo Farnese. Justus or Justus Sustermans (Antwerp 1597 - Florence 1681) workshop/follower of Portrait of Margherita de' Medici Oil on canvas 67 x 54,5 cm The painting is a counterpart to the portrait of Margherita de' Medici painted by Giusto Sustermans and housed in the Uffizi Museum in Florence. Margherita de' Medici married Odoardo Farnese in 1628 and at his death was given the regency of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza on behalf of her son Ranuccio II. From the dress she is wearing and the veil on her head, it can be deduced that she was a widow, so Sustermans painted the portrait, now in the Uffizi, after 1646, the year of her husband Odoardo Farnese's death.

Justus Sustermans, Portrait of a Bearded Man in a Pink Silk Sash
Est: €30,000 - €40,000
Certificate Prof. Jan de Maere, Rambrouch, 27th May 2022. According to Jan de Maere, the present portrait of an unknown bearded man is an early work by the artist painted in Italy. The influence of Frans II Pourbus, with whom Sustermans spent three years in Paris (1616-19) before moving to Florence, is still noticeable. There is a close stylistic affinity with van Dyck's Genoese portraits. Sustermans worked with van Dyck in Florence in 1624. The painting can therefore probably be dated to around 1624/25, a date that also corresponds with the fashionable French clothing. The unknown man is probably an Italian nobleman of high rank, as indicated by the valuable pink silk sash. The Flemish painter Justus Sustermans is best known for his portraits of members of the Medici family, carried out when he was their court painter in Florence. Trained by Frans Pourbus the Younger, the Antwerp native combined Nordic and Italian stylistic elements in his portraits. During his lifetime, he was considered one of the best painters in Italy.

Portrait painting: Surroundings of Frans Pourbus II (Antwerp 1569 - Paris 1622) and attributed to Justus Sustermans (Antwerp 1597 - Florence 1681). Oil on canvas. Joost Sustermans was a Flemish Baroque painter who studied with Frans Pourbus the Younger and collaborated with him in his studio at the Faubourg Saint Germain in Paris in the period 1616-1619. In 1621, Giusto Sustermans became a portraitist in the service of the Medici and painted the Florentine aristocracy, princes and servants, clergy, soldiers, scholars and members of the largest Italian families. This portrait of an aristocrat in armor probably represents Charles II Van Mantua, Duke of Mantua and Monferrato and member of the Italian princely family of the House of Gonzaga. 115 x 90 cm.

Attributed to JUSTUS SUSTERMANS (Antwerp 1597-1681 Florence) and workshop. "Portrait of Leopoldo di Cosimo II de' Medici (1617-1675) as a cardinal". Oil on canvas. Relined in the seventeenth century. It presents restorations. Measurements: 77 x 65 x 2 cm. This portrait is an adaptation of the full-length effigy of Leopold di Cosimo II de Medici painted by Sustermans around 1640, now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. There are two other versions of the painting, an octagonal one with the model holding a book, half-length, also in the Vienna museum, and a third one in the Stibbert Museum in Florence. In the latter Leopold of Cosimo holds a biretta. The painting in bidding depicts Leopold de Medici, son of Cosimo II de Medici and brother of Ferdinand II de Medici, as a cardinal. A patron of literature and collector of art, he was made a cardinal in 1667, although he did not take priestly orders until 1674. Justus Sustermans was a Flemish painter established in Italy during the Baroque period, specializing in court portraiture. He trained in Antwerp at the school of Willem de Vos (1609), nephew of the more famous Marten de Vos. After a stay in Paris (1616) in the studio of Frans Pourbus the Younger, he soon left for Florence (1620) to be placed under the patronage of the Medici, where he soon became the court painter of the grand dukes Cosimo II de Medici, Ferdinand II de Medici and Cosimo III de Medici. In Italy he was able to study the work of the great artists of his time such as Guercino, Diego Velázquez and Pierre Mignard. He was also influenced by the Venetian School. In addition to the Florentine family, he also painted Galileo Galieli, Ferdinand I Gonzaga and Catherine de Medici. In 1625 he went to Rome, in a trip that would be decisive for his formation as an artist. In the city of the Tiber he portrayed Pope Urban VIII according to the chronicler Filippo Baldinucci. He was able to observe the works of Titian preserved in the Ludovisi collection, copying them with great dedication. He was also able to admire the legacy of the Carracci family in the Farnese Gallery.

JUSTUS SUSTERMANS (ATTRIBUITO A) PORTRAIT OF ALESSANDRA BOCCHINERI
Est: €10,000 - €12,000
Thanks to the inscription on the bottom "Alessandra Bocchineri Francesco Rasio Nvpta" the depicted is identified as Alessandra Bocchineri. Daughter of the Florentine poet Carlo Bocchineri and wife of the Florentine musician Francesco Rasi, musician of both the Medici court and that of Gonzaga. According to the long biography dedicated to Rasi by Warren Kirkendale, the wedding was celebrated on 4 September 1621 in Pistoia in the house of the bride's mother Polissena Gatteschi and the spouses left immediately after the wedding for Mantua. Since in our portrait Alessandra wears the widow's dress, the portrait can be dated after the death of Francesco Rasi, who died in Mantua on 30 November 1621. According to Kirkendale, the young widow found refuge with the Duchess of Mantua Caterina di Ferdinando de' Medici and, later in Vienna, with Empress Eleonora Gonzaga, where she married again to an Italian diplomat named Francesco Buonamici in 1623, a date which constitutes a useful ante quem term for dating this widow's portrait. Date the acquaintance between Caterina de' Medici and Justus Sustermans, who in 1621 was appointed court painter and the different affinities with works by the Master of Antwerp it seems reasonable to hypothesize that the portrait was painted in Mantua by Sustermans between December 1621 and 1623 before of the departure in Vienna.

Justus Sustermans 1597 Anversa-1681 Firenze Ritratto di dama, probabilmente Vittoria della Rovere
Est: €6,000 - €8,000
Ricevuta un'educazione marcatamente religiosa nel convento fiorentino della Crocetta, Vittoria della Rovere sposò nel 1637 il Granduca di Toscana Ferdinando. Ricordata per il suo moralismo intransigente e per una rigida concezione della vita e dei costumi, in realtà Vittoria era animata da una rara curiosità intellettuale, dall'amore per il lusso, e da un gusto musicale sopraffino. A questa passione sembra alludere il nostro bel ritratto, dove la Granduchessa, affidata alle consuete abilità introspettive del ritrattista ufficiale di corte Justus Sustermans, è ripresa di scorcio mentre stringe uno spartito. Importanti e recenti studi sulla committenza degli ultimi Medici hanno rilevato il lungimirante mecenatismo in campo musicale di Vittoria che non mancò di patrocinare esecuzioni di musiche ed esercitare la protezione su cantanti e musicisti. Nell’inventario dei suo affetti personali custoditi nella Villa di Poggio Imperiale, datato 1692, figura, per esempio, un elenco cospicuo di strumenti musicali che la Granduchessa faceva suonare per il suo intrattenimento personale. Sembra che l’artista fiammingo naturalizzato italiano, fissando la sovrana in un’immagine più informale e poetica, abbia voluto restituirci proprio questo volto inedito e privato della sua vicenda umana.

(Antwerp 1597–1681 Florence) Portrait of Vittoria della Rovere (1622–1694), Grand Duchess of Tuscany, bust-length, oil on panel, 45 x 33 cm, framed Provenance: art market, Italy; where acquired by the present owner We are grateful to Lisa Goldenberg Stoppato for endorsing the attribution of the present painting on the basis of a photograph. The present portrait is a recent addition to the oeuvre of the Flemish painter Giusto Suttermans (Joos Soetermans), who trained with Willem de Vos in Antwerp and subsequently with Frans Pourbus the Younger in Paris. In 1620 Suttermans moved to Florence at the behest of the Medici, and from that time on, he was active as the portraitist of the reigning family and for other members of the Florentine court. The artist was especially devoted to Vittoria della Rovere, who is represented in the present portrait, and she commissioned numerous paintings from him to furnish her favourite residences, including the Villa del Poggio Imperiale. Vittoria della Rovere (1622–1694) was the last descendent of the dynasty of the Dukes of Urbino. In 1634 she married her cousin Ferdinando II de’ Medici, becoming the Grand Duchess of Tuscany. She is considered to have been a refined patron who was attentive to the arts with a deep knowledge of humanist culture. In 1654 she founded a literary academy for women in Siena and she also supported poets, musicians and scholars.

Justus Sustermans, Vittoria della Rovere, Grand Duchess of Tuscany (1622-1694), holding a Broken Pearl Necklace
Est: €15,000 - €20,000
The beautiful Vittoria della Rovere, who was unhappily married to the Grand Duke Ferdinand II de´ Medici, was frequently depicted by the Flemish painter Justus Sustermans and his workshop as well as by Italian contemporaries. Sometimes the portraits show the Grand Duchess as a goddess of Greco-Roman mythology, provided with corresponding attributes, for example as Flora with a garland of flowers in her hands (cf. Dorotheum, Vienna, auctioned 17th October 2012, lot 515). The torn pearl necklace in our painting suggests a representation of Vittoria as St. Mary Magdalene. Her jewellery is thus to be interpreted as a vanitas motif, in the sense that the saint renounced all earthly wealth. A further, smaller version of the subject (68 x 52 cm) is also known, which may be a preliminary study for the present painting (see Galerie Fischer, Lucerne, auction 30th November - 4th December 1965, lot 2261).

CRISTOFANO ALLORI (Florencia, 1577 – Florencia, 1621). "Portrait of Cosimo II de Medici.
Est: €13,000 - €14,000
CRISTOFANO ALLORI (Florencia, 1577 – Florencia, 1621). "Portrait of Cosimo II de Medici. Oil on canvas. Re-tinted. Attached export permit. Label with informative inscription on the back. Provenance: private collection conceived from the 70's between London and Madrid. Measurements: 217 x 136,5 cm. Unquestionable protagonist of his time, as his clothing faithfully reflects, characterised by the richness of the qualities and by the presence of the royal symbols such as the crown on which the arm rests or the details in gold, which are arranged on the armour. Standing facing the viewer against a background against which the drapery stands out, the work displays similar aesthetic patterns of the period, intended for the depiction of aristocratic figures. The quality of the glazing creates a detailed and truthful effigy, although slightly idealised in the pose and features of the protagonist, Cosimo II de' Medici (1590-1621) Grand Duke of Tuscany. The work is very similar to the portrait of Cosimo II painted by the workshop of Justus Sustermans between 1597-1681. Sustermans is best known for his portraits. He also painted a series of history and genre paintings, still lifes and animals. He rarely dated his works, which makes it difficult to establish a chronology. His works have been dated primarily on the basis of the apparent age of the models identified. His early portraits show the influence of his master Frans Pourbus the Younger, whose style of court portraiture was known for its emphasis on attention to precious detail as well as its hard modelling. Sustermans did not share the Flemish preference for concentrating on the details of the models' clothing and preferred a monumental simplicity of form. In Italy his style began to reflect contact with Florentine painters such as Cristofano Allori and Domenico Passignano. An example is the Portrait of Fra' Francesco dell'Antella (private collection, before the beginning of 1623). During his years in Vienna in 1623 and 1624 he painted in a more painterly style that was possibly influenced by the works of Hans von Aachen and Josef Heintz. Later his work became more Baroque, influenced by Flemish painters such as Rubens, Anthony van Dyck and Cornelis de Vos. His mature style of the 1630s is characterised by his loose, expressive brushstrokes and lighter palette. From the mid-1640s onwards he returned to his earlier handling of surfaces, with marked contrasts between light and shade. One example is the full-length Portraits of Vittoria della Rovere with the young Cosimo III de Medici (Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi, 1646). In the mid-1950s there was a decline in the quality of his output. The reason behind this may have been a greater dependence on his workshop, either because Sustermans travelled regularly or because of the imposition of the Grand Duke. In the 1660s and 1670s his brushwork became more restrained and he often set his figures against a dark background with quick, expert touches of highlights.

STUDIO OF JUSTUS SUSTERMANS (FLEMISH 1597 - 1681)COSIMO III DE MEDICI, C. 1646Oil on canvas64.5 x 74.5cm (25¼ x 29¼ in.)Provenance:Noble collection, ItalyJustus Sustermans was first recorded working for the Medici in Florence in October 1621. He then worked continuously for the Grand Dukes until his death 60 years later in 1681. Sustermans was particularly favoured by Cosimo III's mother, Vittoria della Rovere whom he painted on multiple occasions, including a large double portrait of Vittoria with her young son Cosimo, from which this portrait was based (Turin, Galleria Sabuada). Under the employment of the Medici, Sustermans ran a large studio to create official state portraits of the Grand Duke and Duchess and their family. This portrait, a particularly fine studio example, would almost certainly have been commissioned by the Grand Duke and gifted to an ally or relation. It has since been in the same private noble collection until recently.

JUSTUS SUSTERMANS (1597-1681), ATTRIBUTED TO: A PAIR OF PORTRAITS OF THE ARCHDUKES ALBERT AND ISABELLA, OIL ON CANVAS, 1ST HALF 17TH C.
Est: €6,000 - €12,000
Dim.: 79 x 69 cm (the frame) Dim.: 61,5 x 52 cm (the work) The rule of the Archdukes Albert & Isabella over the Low Countries began in 1598. Their highly cosmopolitan court became a flourishing centre of the arts, a showcase for other courts throughout Europe. The archdukes made a great contribution towards the radiation of the style later known as 'Flemish Baroque'. The century of Peter Paul Rubens would never have been the same without the support of Albert and Isabella. In the Habsburg Netherlands, a region split by civil war, the protestant Northern Provinces had broken away from Catholic Spain, while Spanish rule was established in the Southern Netherlands. The confidence between sovereign and subject would be restored by the Archdukes. The Twelve Year Truce (1609-1621) brought the necessary peace for a political, economic and in particular cultural revival. Albert and Isabella surrounded themselves with a score of artists, including the architects Wenzel Coebergher and Jacques Franckaert, the composer Peter Philips and the court painters, Peter Paul Rubens in the first place, but also Jan I Brueghel, Otto Van Veen and Theodoor van Loon. The South-Netherlandish humanists, Justus Lipsius in particular, brought about an intellectual apogee.

(Anversa, 1597 - Firenze, 1681) Ritratto di Galileo Galilei Olio su tela, cm 68,5X56 Justus Sustermans si formò ad Anversa e a Parigi, conquistando una notevole fama presso le principali corti cattoliche europee grazie al suo talento di ritrattista. Nel 1621 fu accolto a Firenze da Cosimo II de' Medici che lo nominò pittore di corte. In tal veste dipinse le effigi della famiglia Medici e di altri fiorentini illustri, ora prevalentemente custodite alla Galleria Palatina e agli Uffizi (olio su tela, cm 56X48- inv. 1890 n. 745). Il ritratto di Galilei è certamente la sua opera più celebre e l'originale custodito agli Uffizi fu commissionato da Elia Diodati (1576- 1661), giurista di origini lucchesi vissuto tra Ginevra e Parigi che, caro amico dello scienziato, si impegnò fin dagli anni '20 a diffondere i suoi scritti in Europa. Il dipinto dopo la morte di Galilei passò al suo discepolo Vincenzo Villani che lo donò a Ferdinando I come ci tramanda Filippo Baldinucci. Bibliografia di riferimento: F.
