古典大师画作
我们的古典大师画作拍卖会每年分别在3月和9月进行。拍卖会受到国际收藏家和经销商的积极关注,是欧洲同类拍卖中最重要和最成功的拍卖之一。拍卖品包括从中世纪晚期到1800年左右各个时代的精选画作。
卓越的成交价格经常成为国际头条新闻(Ambrosius Bosschaert 577万瑞士法郎,Gerrit Dou 100万瑞士法郎,Anthony van Dyck244万瑞士法郎,Jan Gossaert (又称Mabuse),238 万瑞士法郎,老Lucas Cranach 118万瑞士法郎,小Pieter Brueghel160万瑞士法郎,Pieter Claesz 98万瑞士法郎,Bartholomaeus Spranger 100万瑞士法郎等)。
我们高度重视在艺术史方面对艺术家的归属进行完全确认,并积极与世界一流艺术史学家在古典大师绘画领域进行交流。我们对拍卖的每幅画都对其年代、保存状况和艺术家的注解仔细检查。因此,近年来我们才能对那些交给我们但没有具体信息的作品,进行全新的确认和发现。例如,我们将一幅未署名的《圣母玛利升天》确定为Guido Reni的作品,随后在拍卖会上以120万瑞士法郎成交。另一个例子是一副没有任何信息的“罗得和他的女儿们“作品,经过我们的老大师团队与普拉多专家合作,确认为Francesco de Goya的亲笔画作,之后在我们的拍卖会上以260万瑞士法郎的价格出售。
我们通过针对全球收藏家的密集营销,来促成古典大师绘画的拍卖活动。我们的古典大师绘画专家Karoline Weser女士很乐意对可能委托拍卖的画作进行免费的鉴定和估价。
我们在1月中旬之前接受3月拍卖的委托,在7月下旬之前接受9月拍卖的委托。

For me, one of our most exciting discoveries, and at the same time a striking example of how thorough provenance research can help to emphasise the importance of a work and increase its value, is the ‘Alchemist’ by David Teniers the Younger from our spring 2022 auction (lot 3032).
We received the painting from a long-standing Swiss private collection. An excerpt from a handwritten family inventory indicated that the work had been acquired from the distinguished Basel merchant Philipp Merian (1773–1848), who is buried in the cloister of Basel Cathedral, and passed down to the present, fifth-generation owners. In the 19th century, this painting was still considered a work of the very highest quality, but in the 20th century it had been occasionally seen as a later copy – which our research proved to be a fallacy.
The consignors also informed us that the painting was listed in a printed inventory by a previous family owner. The Teniers expert, Dr Margret Klinge, also had an image of an engraving based on our painting, but the source was unknown. Initial research in the Basel State Archives and the University Library did not lead us any further at first. I finally found what I was looking for in the library of the Kunstmuseum Basel, where the painting was listed as number 33 in the inventory of the estate of the silk manufacturer Johann Jakob Bachofen (1788–1876), who had married Valeria Merian (1796–1856) in 1815.
Together with the handwritten inventory, this information provided documentary evidence of the important provenance of this major work. The painterly execution, which Dr Margret Klinge describes as one of the artist’s best, is of museum quality. It was undoubtedly an authentic work by Teniers, probably created during his time at the Brussels court, and was successfully sold in our 1 April 2022 auction for CHF 256 000.

My favourite painting of the autumn 2021 sale was by Jan Brueghel the Elder, ‘A village canal with figures’.
Formerly considered to be by a follower of Jan the Elder, this charming landscape was consigned to us from a Swiss estate, where it has been conserved for generations.
When I first saw the painting, I immediately felt that this possessed the quality of a Jan Brueghel the Elder. A close examination then revealed the full signature and date 1608, and confirmed the first impression of its authenticity, with its masterfully painted details of figures, fauna and flora.
I am particularly fascinated by the composition: while Jan worked in an earlier style of 16th-century landscape painting with its colour perspective of brown, green and blue tones, he then revolutionised it with the vanishing point perspective for which he is so well known. An microscopic analysis revealed further aspects of his magnificent artistic technique. With only a few lines on a miniature scale he manged to obtain an incredible degree of accuracy, as seen for example in the various representations of birds.
