Jean Baptiste Joseph De Bay (Nantes 1802-1862 Paris) Le Génie de la Marine, 1832 White Carrara marble, finely carved H 101 x W 48 x D 85 cm Signature engraved on the boat's anchor: JEAN DEBAY Executed in Rome in 1832 Provenance: 1832, Rome; 1832 (June, Paris, Exposition at Petits-Augustins; 1833, Paris, Exposition at Salon de Paris; 1833, Mr. Hoppe Collection, Amsterdam; 1833-2010, private collection Literature: S.

Lenormand (1981), La Tradition classique et l’Esprit romantique. Les Sculpteurs de l’Académie de France à Rome de 1824 à 1840, Rome, Edizioni dell'Elefante, 1981 Exhibitions: 1832, Rome; 1832 (June), Paris, Exposition at the Petits-Augustins; 1833, Paris, Exposition at the Salon de Paris This masterful work entitled 'Le Génie de la Marine' is the work of the talented French sculptor Jean Baptiste Joseph De Bay. An emblem of marine allegory, the sculpture depicts a daring Cupid, bravely sailing against the currents on a delicate shell-shaped craft. In a posture of determination, Cupid steers his boat with an oar while seated on a folded sail, which envelops an ink at his feet. This representation of the Cupid's determination to follow his own course and speed without wishing to stop may allude to the persistence of love against all odds. Designed in Rome in 1832, this exquisite marble sculpture was later exhibited, albeit unfinished, at the Petits-Augustins in Paris. It was finally presented in all its splendour at the Paris Salon the following year, where it attracted the attention of the famous Amsterdam banker, Monsieur Hoppe. Jean Baptiste Joseph De Bay, better known as Jean De Bay, was born in Nantes on 31 August 1802. The son of a renowned sculptor and a pupil of Baron Bosio, De Bay quickly established himself as an emblematic figure of nineteenth-century French sculpture. After training at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1820, where he won numerous awards including the prestigious Prix de Rome, the sculptor succeeded in establishing himself in the art of bas relief and ronde bosse. Equally at ease working in marble and bronze, Jean De Bay contributed to numerous national projects, notably for the Louvre Palace and the Hôtel de Ville in Paris. Several of his works are also preserved at the Musée de Versailles. Many of his works can be found in various French museums, testifying to his artistic genius. This great sculptor died a few years later at his home in Paris on 7 January 1862.

arnould de vuez
Arnould De Vuez (Saint-Omer 1644-1720 Lille) Jacob and Ésaü reconciliation, circa 1678 Oil on canvas 105 x 137 cm Provenance: private collection, Périgord since 1920; by inheritance, the artist's descendants; fonds d'atelier d'Arnould Vuez Arnould de Vuez, a key Flemish historical painter of the second half of the 17th century, was trained by Claude François in his Parisian studio, himself trained by Simon Vouet. The master sent his pupil to Italy so he could get the finest education surrounded by Old Master works. He won the first prize of the Roman Saint Luc Academy in 1677. In 1681, Arnould de Vuez was received at the Royal Academy of Paintings and Sculpture for the alliance between France and Bavaria allegory (Louvre Museum). A decade later, in 1692, he was commissioned by the brotherhood of goldsmiths to paint the « Mays » of Notre-Dame picturing the disbelief of Saint Thomas (Lyon, Saint Jean Primatial). In 1694, soon after Charles Le Brun’s death, with whom he collaborated in Versailles, Arnould de Vuez established himself in Lille where he was commissioned with great orders. He was in charge of the religious monuments, in which he blends Poussin’s classicism lessons, Le Brun inspiration and Rubens influence. His work is characterized by a structured composition, retained drapery and a taste for orthogonal lines. Poussin’s influence should be noted in this frieze composition, as well as the Italian Masters, such as the young men’s head copied from the Athen’s school by Raphael.

Romigioli Antichità
Giovanni Baratta (Italy, 1670-1747) Pair of cherubs, 1699 Carrara marble H 72 cm Fragment recovered from the lost high altar of Santa Trinita in Florence, studied by Francesco Freddolini Provenance: Florence, Church of Santa Trinita until 1892 Literature: Francesco Freddolini, Journal of visual art Predella n° 53, June 2023 Pair of large (H 72 cm) and splendid statuary marble Cherubs by Giovanni Baratta (Carrara 1670 - 1747), they are the best expression of Florentine Baroque. Baratta, an artist of European fame, worked not only for the clergy but also for the most important Florentine aristocracy, including the Medici family. The two Cherubim are of historical and artistic significance because of their provenance; in fact, they are the only surviving element of the altar in the Santa Trinita church in Florence, the original location of Cimabue's Maestà. Their large size is obviously due to the fact that they were placed at the highest part of the altar and are portrayed in the act of kissing each other.
