Description

Charles-François Daubigny, French 1817-1878- Hillside landscape, with a figure walking along a meadow path; oil on canvas, signed 'Daubigny' (lower left), 19.5 x 29.3 cm. (unframed). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Daubigny was a central member of the Barbizon school, alongside figures such as Théodore Rousseau (1812-1867) and Jules Dupré (1811-1889), and, as such, an influential forerunner of the Impressionist movement. Daubigny work is characterised by its embrace of Realism, with the artist often executing his paintings 'en plein air', imparting a sense of movement and spontaneity to his oeuvre. The present windswept, atmospheric landscape resembles a similar painting of the same proportions which sold at Christie's, Paris, on 7 May 2017 (lot 195, €8,500).

Circle by CHARLES LE BRUN (Paris, 1619-1690); circa 1700. "The Family of Darius before Alexander". Oil on canvas. Re-retouched. It presents repainting and old restorations. Measurements: 65 x 98 cm; 85 x 118 cm (frame). This work follows the model established by the artist Charles Le Brun in 1660, when he made a painting of the same subject, which is nowadays kept in the Palace of Versailles. Le Brun's work has the same composition; however, in this particular case, the landscape format allows a larger number of figures to be depicted. In the central area is the same composition as the one mentioned above, with the Mother of Darius kneeling on the ground in front of the upright figures of Alexander and Hephaestius. Several figures, forming a large procession, are sheltered under the canvas of a tent, as in Le Brun's painting. In this particular case, however, the artist has allowed himself a little licence by depicting a group of soldiers on the right-hand side of the painting. The scene depicts the moment when, after the battle of Issus, Alexander and his friend Hephaestius decided to visit the family of Darius, who had been defeated. Because of Alexander's youth, Darius' mother was confused and knelt down before Hephaestius. Charles Le Brun was a French painter and an important art theorist. He trained in the studio of Simon Vouet as a child, receiving commissions from Cardinal Richeliu at the age of fifteen. Between 1642 and 1646 he was in Rome, where he came into contact with works by Raphael, Guido Reni, the Bolognese school, etc., and where he was also a pupil of Poussin. He returned to Paris and continued with an important body of work, reaching his stylistic maturity towards the middle of the century (classicist and elegant painting). He was ennobled by Louis XIV, who appointed him Premier Peintre du Roi in 1664. His work can be found in the Louvre in Paris, Versailles, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles, USA), the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon (France), the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg (Russia), the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. (USA), the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, etc.

Nasa. LARGE FORMAT. Apollo 11 mission. Rare. Historic photograph. Just half an hour ago, Neil Armstrong became the 1st human to walk on the moon. He was quickly followed by his crewmate Buzz Aldrin, and the two men immediately set to work deploying the various scientific instruments needed to study the lunar environment. Neil Armstrong's first photographs were of a 360° panorama of the lunar surface, taken as soon as he set foot on the Moon. This was to keep a precise scientific record of the lunar landscape in case an emergency warranted the immediate departure of the lunar module. Once Buzz Aldrin was on the Moon, the two men set to work. This photograph is the first that Neil Armstrong took of Buzz Aldrin. It is therefore the first historic image of a human figure on an extraterrestrial body. The instrument Buzz Aldrin deploys is a solar wind meter, part of which will be returned to Earth to analyze the particles deposited on it during the mission. July 20, 1969. Later chromogenic print. Numbering on front. Legend on back label. 40.6 x 40.6CM with margins.
