6 Old masters og 19. århundrede malerier Bruun Rasmussen inviterer til årets første auktion over ældre malerier. Auktion 786 byder på et meget rigt og varieret udvalg i alle kategorier, lige fra old masters til skagensmalerier. I top blandt auktionens mange fine guldaldermalerier af bl.a. C. A. Jensen, Wilhelm Marstrand og P. C. Skovgaard, findes I. C. Dahls Prospect af Store Mariendahl. Der er en sand rigdom af detaljer, figurer, arkitektur i skildringen af det danske kystlandskab nord for København anno Af samme maler skal også nævnes en detaljeret studietegning af Frederiksborg slot. Laurits Tuxen regnes i dag blandt de største skagensmalere på linie med Krøyer og Ancher. Når man betragter hans maleri Badeliv paa Skagens Nordstrand. Middagssol, der er auktionens højest vurderede maleri, forstår man hvorfor. Der er tale om et værk i intet mindre end international topklasse. Dette hovedværk blev vundet af den nuværende ejers bedsteforældre ved lodtrækning på Charlottenborg-udstillingen i 1910 og har aldrig tidligere været udbudt til salg. Blandt de mange andre væsentlige skagensmalerier findes flere af P. S. Krøyer og Michael Ancher. Når Vilhelm Hammershøi arbejdede med portrættet, var det oftest med familie eller nære venner som modeller. Hammershøis portræt af søsteren Anna formidler en enestående fortættet indlevelse i modellens personlighed. Det orientalske betones mesterligt i C. C. Andersens Salem! Husets Herre vender hjem fra Orientalismen i malerkunsten er genstand for stor international interesse i disse år, og i dette værk kan C. C. Andersen måle sig med mange af de bedste udenlandske udøvere af genren. På auktionen kan man desuden glæde sig over en meget fin samling malerier af Carl Fischer. Især hans følsomme kvindestudier er rigt repræsenteret blandt de ikke færre end 29 værker, der udbydes på auktionen. Ved sidste års auktion slog Bruun Rasmussen alle rekorder ved at sælge Paul Fischers Paa Højbroplads. April for kr. Også denne auktion byder på et meget fint udvalg af malerier af Paul Fischer. Med det smukke portræt af datteren Harriet viser Fischer sit absolut bedste som portrætmaler. Rigtig god fornøjelse! Maleri afdelingen

7 Old masters and the 19th Century Bruun Rasmussen invites you to the first auction of fine art in Auction 786 offers a very large and varied selection in all categories, from Old Masters right up to Skagen paintings. At the top among the many fine Golden Age paintings by such artists as C.A. Jensen, Wilhelm Marstrand and P.C. Skovgaard, you will find I.C. Dahl s Prospect af Store Mariendahl (View of Mariendahl near Copenhagen.). There is a true wealth of detail, particularly in the form of figures and architecture, in this depiction of the Danish coastal landscape north of Copenhagen in the year Also to be sold is a drawing by the same artist, and that is a detailed study of Frederiksborg Castle. Laurits Tuxen is today counted among the greatest of the Skagen painters, on an equal footing with Krøyer and Ancher. Looking at his painting, Badeliv paa Skagens Nordstrand. Middagssol (Seaside Life on Skagen Beach in the Midday Sun), which is the highest-valued painting at this auction, you can understand why. We are talking about a work in nothing less than international top class. This significant work was actually won by the grandparents of the present owner in a draw at the Charlottenborg exhibition in 1910 and has never previously been offered for sale. Among the many other important Skagen paintings you will find several by P.S. Krøyer and Michael Ancher. When Vilhelm Hammershøi worked in portraits, it was mostly with relatives or close friends as models. Hammershøi s portrait of his sister Anna conveys a unique intense empathy with the personality of the model. The oriental mood is masterly emphasized in C.C. Andersen s Salem! The Master of the House Returns, from Orientalism in painting is currently the object of great international interest, and in this work C.C. Andersen can compare with many of the best foreign interpreters of the genre. A very fine collection of paintings by Carl Fischer can also be enjoyed at the auction. In particular, his sensitive female studies are richly represented among the no fewer than 29 works offered for sale. At last year s auction Bruun Rasmussen broke all records by selling Paul Fischer s On Højbro Square. April for DKK 4,000,000 ( ). This auction also offers a very fine selection of paintings by Paul Fischer. With the beautiful portrait of his daughter Harriet, Fischer shows himself at his absolute best as a portrait painter. Enjoy the auction! The department of fine art

Later Frederik Sødring, Thorald Læssøe and Fritz Petzholdt joined them among others. DKK / BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION 786

32 23 23 Frits Thaulow b. Oslo 1847, d. Volendam 1906 "Ambleteuse. Ebbe". Low tide at Ambleteuse, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France. Signed Frits Thaulow. Oil on panel. 32 x 40 cm. Provenance: The present owner's mother was born Thaulow and was related to the artist. Ambleteuse is a village north of Boulogne-sur-Mer in the region Nord-Pas-de-Calais in the north western part of France. Ambleteuse is situated in the mouth of the river Slack. In 1892 Frits Thaulow planned a trip to Venice with his family, but ended up in Pas-de-Calais instead. He stayed in Camiers, Etaples and Montreuil-sur-Mer from July to November while spending the rest of the winter in Paris. In 1893 Thaulow was back in the region visiting Ambleteuse close to Boulogne, and paintings from that area dated 93 are known. From August to November 1900 Thaulow revisited Ambleteuse and two letters from that period exist. This painting could be painted in 1893 as well as in DKK / CD Edvard Eriksen b. Copenhagen 1876, d.s.p "The Little Mermaid". A patinated bronze sculpture on a granite base. Signed Edvard Eriksen, stamped Rolsted's Bronce foundry. H. 96 cm. In 1913 "The Little Mermaid" was placed on Langelinie, Copenhagen. The sculpture was financed by the brewer Carl Jacobsen. Originally Jacobsen's plan was to place the sculpture in an artificial waterbasin surrounded by an arrangement of flowers. But after some time, Edvard Eriksen managed to talk Jacobsen into placing the mermaid in a more natural surrounding on a rock by the seaside. The figure is executed in three different sizes, of which this one is half the size of the original sculpture, thereby making it the largest of the three bronze-variations excluding the one in 4/5 size displayed in Osaka, Japan. In accordance with the artist's testament no subsequent copies were to be made in the same size as the mermaid on Langelinie.

Carl Rasmussen Oil on canvas. 103 x 162 cm. I.E.C. Rasmussen is known by an international audience as the first painter of Greenlandic motifs. To others he is a wellknown marine painter with a passion for coastal motifs from the South of Funen. Rasmussen also knew how to depict the open sea which he demonstrated already in his early works painted during 1861 when he was on his first voyage working on board a ship. In 1870 Rasmussen went to Green- land where he stayed for almost a year. There he painted the everyday life in the Arctic nature with a realism and feeling that was epoch-making for the 1870s. A deceased Greenlander being carried home is the first portrayal of the presence of death in newer Danish art. Many sketches from his trip to Greenland were later transferred into paintings and exhibited in Paris and London, many of which were sold in England. Rasmussen used his observations of the Greenlandic nature in a series of pictures of Greenland s history, spanning from Erik the Red s arrival in Greenland to Gustav Holms expedition to East-Greenland in DKK / BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION

Wine harvest in Tirol. Exhibited at Charlottenborg In this painting Krøyer was inspired by the impressionist painter's use of reflecting colours and also the use of the colour blue applied as shadow. During a convalescence in Tirol in October 1901 Krøyer for the first time became acquainted with the local people harvesting the grapes. He was excited with the motif and the colourful Tirolean autumn. He wrote back home on October the 28th to his friend Dahlerup: "Her er aldeles pragtfuldt i denne Tid, en Farve i alt som jeg synes aldrig at have set før nogetsteds. Og jeg maler af alle Kræfter Vinhøstbillede, Efteraarsfarver, Stemninger m.m." It is a beautiful time of the year, I have seen colours I haven't seen before.

Exhibited: Charlottenborg 1910 no Provenance: Won by the present owner's grandparents at the Charlottenborg exhibition in Lauritz Tuxen was one of the most widely traveled of the Danish artists belonging to the Danish artist colony at Skagen at the turn of the 19th century. He enjoyed considerable domestic and international succes as a painter of royal portraits. However his heart lay in the new development in the art of painting that he saw flourish in Skagen and his enthusiasm was a great inspiration for both his pupils and his fellow painters. He was always interested in new currents in the arts and followed the development in France closely. In the present painting Tuxen demonstrates his eminent skill as a colourist as well as in spatial composition. In the present painting Tuxen seems to have been fascinated with the natural phenomenon in the sky that almost transmits the same wellknown dramatic effect that we find in the landscapes of Vincent van Gogh. Truely a masterpiece by Tuxen that now for the first time is coming up for sale. DKK / BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION

Krøyer ", 1910 no Literature: Alba Schwartz, "Skagen", 1912 and 1913 p Provenance: L. Zeuthen, Lawyer. In the summers Krøyer rented a former post office and inn in the North Jutland town of Skagen so that he could enjoy the festive gatherings of the artistic colony and also take advantage of the many opportunities for plein-air painting. It was at this point that he began to work systematically with the colour range of blue, which he permitted to dominate in many of his atmospheric pictures of the 1890s. Well-known works from this period with predominating range of blues include Badende Drenge en Sommeraften ved Skagen Strand (Boys Bathing on a Summer Evening at Skagen Beach), the large double- portrait Sommeraften ved Skagen Strand. Kunstneren og hans hustru, 1899 (The Hirschsprung Collection, Copenhagen) and, not least, Sommeraften på Skagen Sønderstrand, 1893, (The Skagen Museum) with the two white-clad artists' wives Marie Krøyer and Anna Ancher. Krøyer's paintings of children bathing can be seen in the context of the widespread interest in Vitalism which developed in the 1890s. Vitalism was a broad European current of ideas which cultivated the beautiful, the vigorous, the nude body, health, strength, the masculine hero, the emancipated woman, light and Nature in all its glory. Besides capturing the interest of painters such as Krøyer and Willumsen,Vitalism was also taken up and interpreted by a number of the period's sculptors, architects, composers and writers. The painting being auctioned here is a brilliant example of Vitalism and Krøyer's use of the blue colour scale. DKK / BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION 786

Exhibited: Charlottenborg 1886 no. 136 with the title "Dameportrait" (A portrait of a lady). Liljevalchs Konsthal, Stockholm "Nyare Dansk Konst", 1919 no On the reverse a stamp from the exhibition at Kunstforeningen in Copenhagen 1955, the painting is not represented in the catalogue. Provenance: The artist's sister Anna Hammershøi (1918). The artist's brother Svend Hammershøi (1919). The Henriques family until now. They received the painting from Svend Hammershøi. The famous interior paintings by Hammershøi show the close surroundings of the changing Copenhagen homes of Vilhelm and Ida Hammersøi. When painting portraits he also preferred picking his models among his closest relatives. In his own words: "I don't like to paint portraits commissioned by strangers, I prefer to know people very well in order to paint them". (Poul Vad, "Hammershøi", 2003 p. 102). This unique portrait is of his little sister Anna looking delicate and withdrawn - almost like an angel. It is easy to tell, that Hammershøi put a lot of tenderness into painting Anna, who appears in many of his works. The way Anna looks in the small portrait here reminds one of the larger painting of her from the year before (1885). With that painting Hammershøi made his first appearance at Charlottenborg, and can nowadays be seen at The Hirschsprung Collection in Copenhagen. DKK / BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION 786
