EDWARD BRANDUS PREFACE It is not often that the close of an Art Season in New York brings to the Auction Room so many and such varied and inter- esting canvases, representing such widely different schools and periods as those which make up the collection formed by Mr. Edward Brandus, of Paris and New York, and noted in the Catalogue which follows this Preface. American art lovers are eclectic in their tastes ga inclinations, They do not confine their study or collectng to the art of any country, period or school. The religious subjects of the Italian and Spanish Primitives and their followers of the Renaissance, the Peasants and Burghers with their ladies of the early Dutch and Flemish masters, the graceful, delicate and dainty, even if artificial, pastoral and court scenes. and the beauties of the decorative early French painters—the rich and glowing landscapes and the dis- tinguished portraits of the early Englishmen—all these through the Barbizon Romanticists, inspired by their English predecessors, to such modern masters as the lately dead and mourned Thaulow, the landscapist Cazin, the colorist of Venice, Ziem, England’s great painter, Alma Tadema, and the incomparable woman artist,, Rosa Bonheur—all have their followers and devotees in the United States. This very eclecticism—this divergence of taste, has brought to America, and especially to New York, the past twenty-five years, more varied and individually representative great and important pictures than can be well estimated. ‘There are doubtless greater collections of the works of individual and National schools in the Galleries of Europe than can be found in America, but it is doubtful whether any country holds collections so wide in range or so representative of the art of all times, since painting began, than the United States. An eclectic taste, and the wealth of American collectors which can gratify this taste, have resulted in the formation of individual collections of pictures most valuable to the art lover and student, and whose like, as has been said in variety of schools and periods and wideness of range cannot be found elsewhere. The collection of Mr. Brandus, so soon to be dispersed at auction, has been formed with a view to the gratification of these varied American tastes and inclinations. Its canvases have been selected with care, knowledge and experience, not only of European but American proclivities, extending over many years. Each and every example has been chosen with the double purpose of exem- plifying some school, master or period, and as to its relation towards an harmonious whole. To illustrate and emphasize this estimate of the collection now offered American art lovers, let us glance at a few of its pictures— those which represent best schools and periods, and which conse. quently form the clous of the display. Of the most noted women of the 18th century in French history, Marie Antoinette and La Marquise de Pompadour, probably still hold the centre of the stage, and of these interest still centres in and hovers the most over the figure of the Pompadour—that Belle Marquise, who with her ‘‘beaux yeux’’ bewitched half Europe, and whose qualities of mind made her for a time the real ruler of France. The toast of her day, she was also the most desired of all models by the painters of her time, and the many portraits of La Pompadour, painted by so many masters, are known to all art lovers and students—the originals are among the most cherished treasures in France, ane their reproductions are numberless. Of the painters of La Pompadour, Carle Van Loo was pre- eminent, and the brother of La Belle Marquise himself, gave as his testimony that no other painter who had essayed to transcribe her charms had so well succeeded in catching that elusive ex- pression, that indefinable beauty of feature, which so captivated not only Louis XV., but the courtiers of the time. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan has in his remarkable collection Van Loo’s portrait of La Pompadour as a Sheperdess—‘‘ La Bergere’’—and Mr. Edward Brandus now offers the well-known portrait by the same master brush of La Pompadour as a Sultana. The canvas so well portrays the famous beauty, and is moreover such a masterpiece and attractive work of art, that it should find a resting place both as an historical and art work in an American Museum. But La Pompadour, fascinating as she is, in her Oriental garb, must not too long detain us, especially when such another portrait. as that of Mme. Lambert de Thorigny by Largilliere awaits inspection. This is another most artistic and decorative canvas, 4 be tl , a he f Reh aoe ne ee eee bee ee) eg 7 es be ee See bee! emery ore eosin gry \"4 Mas HEE ed bp Ia ia : Mt eter = oe sys : ax Te ee - and comes from the collection of Comte A. de Ganay. Few, if any, better examples of this noted painter of the French Grandes Dames of the eighteenth century has ever been offered at auction in New York. The canvas is not only a superb example, but is wonderfully well preserved. Here also is a second and smaller Largilliere, also a superior example, a portrait of ‘‘La Marquise d’ Imfroit,’’ painted for the Prince Regent, the Duc D’Orleans. Of other early French decorative painters Mignard, Tocque and others are well represented. A contrast in subject and treatment are the pictures by the early Dutch and Flemish masters, which the collection comprises. It is difficult almost to believe that these placid, stout, middle-aged ladies, with their wide ruffs, black silks and satins and their look of eternal content, which Ravesteyn in his ‘‘ Portrait of a Lady,’’ from the Comte Mniszech collection, and Mierevelt in his ‘‘ Portrait of Cornelis Van Hooft,’’ from the Theric de Chatelard collection _ present, could have been earlier sisters of Van Loo’s Pompadour | and Largilliere’s Lambert—but so they were, and the brush of the more Northern painters portrayed the women and the charac- teristics of their time just as faithfully as did those of the French- men of a century later the women of their race and period. Crossing the North Sea, we turn with Sir Thomas Lawrence and his flowing and rich palette to the contemplation of an early English beauty in his charming ‘Portrait of a Lady’’ and with the earlier and colder, but always popular, old Sir Peter Lely, to the study of an English Grande Dame, in his ‘‘Portrait of the Count- ess Kildare,’’ from the Sedelmeyer Gallery of Paris. _ Sir William Beechey, he who loved to portray handsome Eng- lish girls and ruddy faced, bluff old English squires and sailors, and Harlow, the gifted pupil and follower of Lawrence, are also both well represented. Again we cross the Channel, and now with the Barbizon mast- ers stroll through the Forest of Fontainebleau, which they have made an enchanted woodland for all time. Corot—the great Corot—is shown in his earlier and formative period by a remark- able canvas, ‘““The Rainstorm,’’ most interesting and valuable as presaging his after development. This comes from the Sarlin Collection. Diaz lives again in ‘‘La Meute sous Bois,’’ a hunting forest scene, very characteristic, exhibited by himself in the Salon of 1848, purchased by Crabbe and illustrated in the catalogue of his collection, and also shown in the noted Loan collection in Paris of 1889. A small but representative landscape by Rosseau, and characteristic examples by Jacque, Troyon and the ocean Van Marcke, make up a well selected panel of Barbizons, Of the modern foreign painters, perhaps the best represented is Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema, who alone has revived for modern eyes the ‘‘Glory that was Greece, and the Grandeur that was Rome.”’ His wonderful painting of marble, and his carefully exact rendi- tion of the customs and costumes of old Greece or Rome are well exemplified in a beautiful canvas, ‘‘ Bacchanalia.’’ Rosa Bonheur, the greatest of all animal painters, is shown in an important canvas, fine in quality, and signed and dated ‘‘ Deer in Forest.’’ Space forbids more than mere mention of other moderns. Here is Schreyer, in a Bulgarian snow scene, with his dramatic composition, and well drawn horses; Ziem with one of his most glowing of Venices, a dream of color; Isabey in characteristic— mood ; Meissonier with a Louis XIII. Cavalier from the Meissonier sale; Henner (who will paint Nymphs with such hair and under such skies now that Henner is gone?); Jacquet, the painter of cherry faced pretty grisettes ; Bouguerau the painter of child and maidenhood, the paysagiste par excellence of modern France; Cazin, Aime Perret, the follower of Millet and Breton in the depic- tion of the ‘‘ Poetry of Toil,’’ and last, the giant Thaulow, ‘‘ Dead, like Lycidas, ere his prime,’’ the ‘‘ Painter of the Night, the Snow and the Stream.”’ Is not this a list, which to read makes the art lover’s heart to beat and his eyes to glow? It is many a day since such a varied art feast has been spread in New York. From Sunday, April r4th, it will be on view, and on the following Thursday and Friday evenings it will be sold in the same galleries where exhibited. Its dispersal will make for envy and for happiness. JAMES B. TOWNSEND. OF THE COLLECTION OF _ FIFTH AVENUE ART GALLERIES Soe S46 Fifth Avenue, cor, 45th Street PROMPTLY AT 8.30 P.

At the Columbian Exposition, Chicago, — 1893, he was declared ‘‘hors concours,’ and in — the same year he was appointed “Chevalier” of the Legion of Honor. His Salon picture of 1876 was purchased by Princess Mathilde, and the one of 1877,‘‘A Christening en Bourgogne,” by the City of Lyon. The French Government has bought a number of Perret’s works, first in 1879, Le Saint Viatique for the ‘‘ Musée du Luxembourg,” then his Salon picture of 1881 for the ‘Musée de Carcassonne,” of 1885 for the ‘‘ Musée de Chalons- © sur-Marne,” of 1886 for the ‘‘ Musée de Morlais,” of 1897 for the ‘‘ Musée de Nantes,” andthe City of Paris acquired his painting “L’Aieule.” Besides, Aimé Perret is represented in many of the most prominent private collections in France and abroad. He is called the painter of the ‘ happy peasants ” in difference of Millet, who painted the ‘‘ very poor peasants.” History will place the name of Aimé Perret in the same class with those of Millet, Rousseau, Jacque, and all those great artists who have shown us in their works the poetry of the field, its joys, sorrows, and its eternal beauty. 123 IN THE FIELDS OF BARBIZON Height 29 inches ; width 36 inches 124 SHEPHERDESS Height 25 inches ; width 32 inches edals Paris Salon, 1844, 1846, 1848 Legion of Honor, 1851 ' __—«LA MEUTE SOUSZBOIS (The Pack of Hounds) { a -—- Height 41 inches, width,32 inches (From the Crabbe Collection ) xhibited by Diaz at the Salon of 1848, No. 1285 7 My Exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1889 1610-1695 | PRINCESS OF BAVARIA, WIFE OF THE ELDEST SON OF LOUIS XIV. ss LE: GRAND DAUPHIN From the Sedelmeyer Galleries, Paris oo ® Gold Medal Paris Exposition 1900 Officer of the Legion of Honor 1901 94, os ; - iy 128) winter SCENE.
