paolo anesi
Paolo Anesi (Rome, 1697-1773) View of the Ponte Cestio from the Tiber island Oil on canvas 28 x 48 cm Provenance: anonymous sale, Paris, Hôtel Drouot (Maître Baudoin), May 31st, 1919, lot n° 98 (Vanvitelli, View of a city-houses rise on both banks of a river crossed by a stone bridge. In the foreground, on the ground to the right, a fragment of a fluted column and a broken capital); private collection, France Literature: Olivier Michel, Biographical Research on Paolo Anesi, in Publications de l'École Française de Rome, Vivre à peindre à Rome au XVIIIe siècle, vol. 217, 1996, pp. 319–334 Praised during his lifetime as one of the most brilliant vedute painters of the eighteenth century in Italy, Paolo Antonio Anesi nevertheless remains a figure whose life and work are still little studied. Active in Rome, Anesi never left his native city. The panoramas offered by its hills provided him with a multitude of striking viewpoints. The Aventine, one of Rome’s seven hills, appears to have been a favourite subject. To produce his painting, Anesi positioned himself on the Isola Tiberina, a small island in the middle of the Tiber, connected to the left bank by the Ponte Cestio and to the right bank by the Ponte Fabricio.

Gustave Serrurier-Bovy (Liège, 1858-1910) Silex linen cupboard, circa 1905 Poplar, blue stencils and blue-painted iron H 192 x W 70 x D 45 cm Provenance: Villa de L’Aube, collection of Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, Soyeur-Delvoye Literature: Jacques-Grégoire Watelet, Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, Éditions Beaunord, Paris, 1989, p. 87 Built between 1902 and 1905 on the Cointe hill in Liège, the Villa de L’Aube was the personal home of Gustave Serrurier, a true manifesto of his conception of architecture. He lived there until his death in 1910. Intended for the children’s and staff’s bedrooms, the Silex furniture was made of poplar, assembled with simple iron screws, and decorated - some of it - with painted stencils. First appearing at the Château de La Cheyrelle in 1904, Gustave Serrurier would go on to incorporate the Silex furniture into the layout of his own house. This linen cupboard was part of the original furnishings of the villa.
