995.00 NEW LISTING This is a HAND PAINTED PLAQUE BY RUBENS.It was originally in a gold frame which I did not buy.I put it in this frame.The size is 4 3/4 by 6.The painting is 3 by 4.Hand painted I loved the scene. Louis XIII Comes of Age hangs at the Louvre. It is one of 21 paintings called the Medici Cycle, which dramatize the life of Marie d’Medici, wife of Henri IV, and mother of Louis XVIII. All of the paintings, along with three portraits, hang in a single enormous room, the Rubens Room. This painting is 13 feet tall and 10 feet wide, every single inch bursting with energy, and many of them bursting with flesh, just like the other 20.Marie d’Medici, 1575-1642, was the daughter of Francesco I de’Medici, a descendant of Lorenzo the Magnificent. The family had fallen in intellect from that height, and Marie didn’t raise it. Henri IV got an annulment of his first marriage, which was childless, and he needed an heir. The marriage to Marie, typically for that era, was based on political utility. Henri was mostly interested in war, politics and his mistresses; in fact, Marie’s introduction was delayed several days while he visited his mistresses, one of whom was Gabrielle d’Estree, on the right on this NSFW painting. Their relationship was stormy, but she did produce a son before Henri met his end in 1610 at the hands of a Catholic fanatic. Marie was appointed regent, a position she held four years, when Louis XIII attained his majority at thirteen. This painting depicts the Marie’s turnover of the government to her son. The painting is allegorical, like most of the paintings in the Medici Cycle. Louis has his hand on the tiller of the ship of state, while his mother, dressed soberly in this painting, fondly looks on, one hand to her breast in a sort of bow, the other gesturing at the tiller as if offering it to her son. The darkness of their costumes separates them from the light colors and flesh of the other passengers. The other figures represent various virtues and graces; the woman with the orb in her hand is La Belle France herself. Wikipedia gives an excellent description of the entire cycle including the allegories. In the ocean, we see a dolphin and a red fish swimming in a placid sea. A wind god blows a trumpet in the sky. The oars are worked by topless women, in fact everyone on the boat is a woman except the new king. The boat itself is a work of art, curlicues and other decorations topped by a dragon’s head. The rowers’ expressions range from exertion by the first rower on the left, to a hilarious "I didn’t want to go rowing today, look it’s going to rain" on the right. The ship appears headed from clouds to the light, which probably pleased the King. The Medici Cycle was a major piece of work for Rubens, many paintings to be done in a short time. He was already a big name, with a big workshop, and the commission from Marie no doubt kept a lot of people working, including his students, who probably painted a good bit of the background of these paintings. It required a great deal of thought to figure out how to glorify a woman with little grace or intellect and no heroic deeds, and at the same time not aggravate the young king, her son, who didn’t get along with her. This painting represents one of the delicate moments of their relationship. Although the regency was formally terminated, Marie continued to govern until her missteps prompted Louis to take over and exile her. They reconciled six years later, but eventually Louis VIII exiled her permanently. The grandiosity of the painting is typical Rubens, especially the loving attention to the flesh: his women gave rise to the term Rubenesque. These paintings are wildly over the top for me, so much so that I found myself chuckling and walking along looking for an even greater extravagance. The primary audience, Marie herself, doubtless loved it. Even great artists have to deal with their clients, and this painting shows the skills of Rubens as painter, as diplomat and as a classical scholar, not to mention as a businessman.

595.00 NEW LISTING This is a rare painting of daughter Elise of the composer List who got married to Gustav Moritz Pacher van Theinburg. . I do not know who the male is.They are hand painted .Elise was a singer She was also a friend of Clara Schuman and a few years ago a correspondence between Clara and some of her friends (among them Elise) was published. In the following German text it becomes clear that at some point in her childhood she had lived in the US. Reading,Phil. for 8 years but her parents took her back overseas.She took singing lessons..They say say was very beautiful.Other paintings from her exist and were sold at auctions, This was sold to me as a brother and sister.This is her brother.He was Elise List von Theinburg's son.The womens portrait has writing on paper on the back.They do not quite fit the frames but that is how I bought them.There was gold paper around the edge but some of it degraded.One hook is gone of the womens frame on the back and another loose.The frames are 41/2 by 3.The minis are 2 by 3.Not signed Sie wurde am 1. Juli 1822 in Stuttgart geboren. Im Alter von 4 Jahren, 1826, zog sie mit ihren Eltern und ihren aelteren Geschwistern nach Reading, Philadelphia. Dort besuchte sie die ÑTrinityís Parochial Schoolì. 1834 zog die Familie zurueck nach Deutschland und Karoline List wohnte mit ihren Kindern in Leipzig. Auch sie wurde in Sprachen und Hauswirtschaft, wie ihre Schwester Emilie, ausgebildet. Doch waehrend Emilie sich fuer diese Faecher interessierte, zeigte Elise eine andere Neigung. Sie wollte Saengerin werden. Ihr Vater gewaehrte ihr diesen Wunsch, und im Fruehjahr 1838 zog Elise zu ihrem Vater nach Paris, um dort Gesangsunterricht zu nehmen. List versprach sich viel von seiner Tochter. Sie sollte mit ihrer Schoenheit und ihrem mudikalischen Talent Ñmehr Harmonie Ñ in seine Plaene bringen. Er hoffte z.B., dass er Koenig Ludwig 1. besser in der Anwesenheit seiner Tochter dazu bringen koenne, Eisenbahnplaene zu unterschreiben. So schickte er Elise nach Mailand, wo sie eine weitere Gesangsausbildung erhielt. Koenig Ludwig 1. war von Elises Schoenheit begeistert. Er wollte Elise malen lassen und sie in seine legendaere Schoeheitengalerie aufnehmen. Dieses wurde 1844 in die Tat umgesetzt. Die Hoffnungen Elises auf eine Karriere als Konzertsaengerin zerschlugen sich bald. Sie hatte Angst in der oeffentlichkeit zu singen. F. List: ÑAls sie anfangen wollte, oeffentlich zu singen, zeigte sich, dass sie von einer solchen Angst befangen war, dass sie nur mit halber Stimme singen konnte. Am 17. Maerz 1845 heiratete Elise den oesterreichischen Fabrikbesitzer Gustav Moriz Pacher von Theinburg. Aus dieser Ehe gingen 2 Kinder hervor: Friedrich List Pacher von Theinburg und Hedwig Emilie Pacher von Theinburg.Sie starb1893.
