Bartsch VI, 148, 191. Geisberg 422 (untere Hälfte). Nagler, Monogrammisten, III, 2806, 15. - Es handelt sich um die untere Hälfte des von einer Platte gedruckten Stiches der vier Affen mit ihren Jungen, der nach Geisberg die Kopie nach einem verlorenen Original des Hausbuchmeisters ist. Geisberg kennt von dem Blatt nur ein unzerschnittenes Exemplar in Paris. Nagler erwähnt ein komplettes Exemplar im British Museum, das in Paris gibt er als zerschnitten an. Bezeichnend für das übliche Zerschneiden des Blattes ist, daß Bartsch und Nagler die beiden Darstellungen in getrennten Nummern aufführen. - Das hier vorliegende Blatt unterscheidet sich von dem Exemplar im British Museum in der Größe und der Aufhängung der Kette, die dort am oberen Bildrand befestigt ist, die beiden Affen sind detailgenau dargestellt. - Ob unser Blatt nun eine unbekannte zeitgenössische Kopie, ein zeitgenössischer Nachstich oder gar das als verloren geltende Original des Hausbuchmeisters ist, können wir nicht entscheiden. Der Sachverhalt der Seltenheit ist davon unberührt.

Est: $20,000 - $30,000
ISRAEL VAN MECKENEM The Childrens' Bath. Engraving, circa 1485. 107x138 mm; 4 1/4x5 1/2 inches. Third state (of 3). Ex-collection Hermann Weber (Lugt 1383, verso); sold Christie's, London, June 1992, lot 27. Trimmed on the plate mark. A very good impression of this extremely scarce engraving, with strong contrasts. We have found only one other impression at auction in the past 30 years. The north German engraver/goldsmith van Meckenem (circa 1445-1503), likely produced this engraving as a companion with his Children at Play, engraving, circa 1485 (Bartsch 188). In these engravings, van Meckenem was among the first European printmakers to depict such mundane realism, in an art market dominated by religious subjects, while perhaps looking back to classical Roman sources such as marble relief sculptures with frolicking putti. Bartsch 187; Lehrs 478.

MASTER OF THE BERLIN PASSION, ISRAEL VAN MECKENEM THE ELDER The Passion of Christ.
Est: $40,000 - $60,000
MASTER OF THE BERLIN PASSION, ISRAEL VAN MECKENEM THE ELDER The Passion of Christ. Group of 10 metalcuts with floral frames and 17 woodcuts with border lines, each with contemporary hand coloring in gouache and watercolor, circa 1450-70. Each approximately 90x65 mm; 3 1/2x2 1/2 inches, with narrow margins outside the borders. Very good impressions of these extremely scarce, early prints, with strong colors. The Master of the Berlin Passion, generally accepted to be Israel van Meckenem the Elder, lived and worked in Bocholt, in what is now northwest Germany. A goldsmith by trade, his son--Israel van Meckenem--also trained as a goldsmith and ultimately eclipsed his father as a printmaker. Most of van Meckenem the Elder's prints are of a small fomat and hand colored, suggesting that they were to be pasted into books as substitutes for miniature paintings. Schreiber 1-24 and 26-35; Lehrs pp. 63-76; Hollstein pp. 79-113.
