FRANS FRANCKEN THE YOUNGER (FLEMISH 1581-1642) THE TRIUMPH OF NEPTUNE AND AMPHITRITE Oil on panel 63.5 x 89.5cm (25 x 35 in.) In a carved and gilt wood frame Provenance: The Dukes of Croÿ, Brussels, probably since the 17th century and thence by family descent to Karl Rudolf, Duke of Croÿ (1859-1906), who married in 1888, Marie-Ludmilla Princess and Duchess of Arenberg (1870-1953), Chateâu de L'Hermitage, Condé sur L'Escaut, France, until the First World War, and thereafter at Chateâu 'La Solitude', Brussels Thence by descent Sale, Sotheby's, London, Old Master Paintings, 7 July 2005, lot 1 , where acquired by the present owner Beneath a tempestuous sky bathed in a silvery glow, sea creatures, mermaids, river gods, and tritons parade to celebrate the union of Neptune and Amphitrite. Amphitrite, a nereid and daughter of Nereus, initially rejected Neptune's marriage proposal and sought to avoid him, finding refuge in the farthest reaches of the ocean. However, Neptune sent dolphins to find her, convincing her to accept his proposal-a mission later honoured with the creation of the star constellation Delphinus. Born in Antwerp in 1581, Frans Francken was a Flemish painter who achieved significant success during his lifetime. The son of the renowned artist Frans Francken the Elder, he began his training in his father's workshop before becoming a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke. Francken's versatile talent allowed him to work in various genres, from religious themes to mythological subjects, inspiring artists such as Jan Bruegel the Elder and Peter Paul Rubens. The triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite was a subject treated by the artist frequently, with different variations of the composition; for which see U. Härting, Frans Francken der Jüngere , 1989, pp. 310-11, cat. nos. 279-95. The closer example is a smaller panel sold at Christie's, London, 28 November 1975, lot 34, in which the right-hand side of the composition and the distant landscape differ. In other renditions, Francken usually depicted a gathering of gods on the distant shore, but here, this is replaced by Neptune's entourage in the background. This painting's provenance is notable, likely remaining uninterrupted until its auction at Sotheby's. The Croÿ family, a prominent force in the Southern Netherlands, Burgundy, and France in the 17th century, held high positions under Spanish rule. Their patronage of the arts was equally influential. In the 15th century, they amassed an extraordinary collection of manuscripts, later acquired by Margaret of Austria. Charles III de Croÿ, Duke of Croÿ and Prince of Chimay, built a vast collection of paintings, jewels, and manuscripts, including eleven works attributed to Veronese. The family also had ties to the Arenberg family, renowned art patrons and collectors in the 18th and 19th centuries.

FRANCESCO MARMITTA (ITALIAN 1464-1505) MADONNA AND CHILD WITH A HOLY BISHOP Oil on panel 187 x 106cm (73½ x 41½ in.) Unframed Francesco Marmitta, primarily known as a goldsmith, crystal carver, and illuminator, is regarded as the leading painter in Parma before Correggio. His panel paintings are rare, with the Madonna and Child between San Benedetto and San Quintino in the Louvre being the only known example that shares similar characteristics. Set against a clear sky with minimal landscape, the figures are like apparitions in a metaphysical blue background. The Madonna of Humility, shown with bare feet and holding a book, is accompanied by an unidentified bishop saint reading from a missal. It is likely that the panel originally featured another saint on the left, as suggested by a visible hand and the Christ Child's upward gaze. The panel may also have been taller, extending the presence of the blue sky. Painted between 1500 and Marmitta's death in 1505, this work anticipates sixteenth-century styles, particularly in the Madonna's contrapposto pose, with her figure balanced by an outstretched arm. This movement evokes Leonardo da Vinci's Cartoon of the Virgin and Child with St. Anne (c. 1502), which Marmitta may have encountered. Furthermore, the light subtly illuminating the figures reflects Marmitta's experience as an illuminator, while the intense plasticity of the drapery evokes the early work of Michelangelo, whom Marmitta may have encountered during his time in Bologna, where he worked on the Ark of Saint Domenico. Like the Louvre panel, this painting displays tubular drapery folds and bold, juxtaposed colours, reflecting Marmitta's background in metalwork and miniature painting. Contrary to the Louvre panel, however, this painting lacks an architectural setting, arranging the figures on a flat plane. This change could be attributed to Marmitta's exposure to Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio's 1500 altarpiece for Girolamo Casio in the Misericordia in Bologna, also now housed in the Louvre. This note is based on an essay by Andrea De Marchi, to whom we are grateful.

JOHANNES ANTONIUS VAN DER BAREN (FLEMISH 1615/30-1686) AND ANOTHER SAINT DOROTHY WITH AN ANGEL IN A CARTOUCHE, SURROUNDED BY A FLORAL WREATH Oil on canvas Indistinctly signed and dated (lower centre) 119.5 x 96.5cm (47 x 37 in.) Provenance: A private collection, France In the first quarter of the 17th century a new form of flower painting was developed in Flemish painting, which, recreated by a large group of artists and workshops, would achieve considerable success throughout the century in much of Europe: the garland of flowers surrounding a central figure. Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568 - 1625) was the initiator of this type of composition, however, it was his pupil, Daniel Seghers (1590 - 1661), who became the dominant figure in this specialised production and the creator of a prototype that would serve as a model for the generation of future artists. In the present lot, the floral wreath encircles a carved cartouche depicting Saint Dorothy of Caesarea and the attribute which often accompanies her in art, a basket of roses, and an angel. The cartouche still-life is identified as being by Jan Anton van der Baren, with the central figures by another accomplished hand. Van den Baren's arrangement of flowers would have delighted connoisseurs in both Flanders and in Vienna, where the impossibility of their all blooming at the same time of year would have been understood as a further statement of the wonder and beauty of the divine. Van der Baren worked first in Brussels, where he collaborated with Erasmus Quellinus II (1607 - 1678), who produced many of the figures in his earlier works. In 1656, Van der Baren moved, along with his patron Archduke Leopold Wilhelm (1614 - 1662), to Vienna. During this time, he worked with fellow Flemish émigré painter Nikolaus van Hoy (1631 - 1679). In addition to the brilliance of his handling of still-lives, Van der Baren played an important art historical role as director of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm's picture gallery in Vienna. At the time, this was one of the greatest collections in the world and the core of what was to become the present collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. Van der Baren compiled an inventory of the collection in 1659. In his celebrated painting, Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his gallery at Brussels , now at the Prado, Madrid, David Teniers, Van der Baren is depicted as the figure third from the right. We are grateful to Fred Meijer for confirming the attribution to Johannes Antonius van der Baren on the basis of photographs.

LOMBARD SCHOOL (CIRCA 1720), FOLLOWER OF GIACOMO CERUTI THE YOUNG DRAFTSMAN Oil on canvas 110 x 83cm (43¼ x 32½ in.) Provenance: Sale, Piasa, Tableaux Anciens , 27 March 2000, lot 25, as 'Attributed to Charles François Hutin' Sale, Christie's, New York, Important Old Master Paintings Part I and Part II , 15 April 2008, lot 26 (for $ 241,000) The Lombard region is renowned for its rich tradition of genre scenes, a movement that emerged following the introduction of Flemish and Dutch paintings, including works by artists such as Joachim Beuckelaer and Pieter Aertsen, into prominent local collections. These innovative pieces quickly captivated local painters, among them Vincenzo Campi (1536-1591), who, employing irony and occasional mockery (as evidenced in works like The Ricotta Eaters ), depicted the lower classes on large-scale canvases-an approach typically reserved for noble portraits or religious subjects. This genre painting tradition later evolved into a more dignified and realistic representation of everyday life, exemplified by artists such as Giacomo Ceruti (1698-1767). Ceruti's works portray the lower classes immersed in their daily routines, characterized not by the altezzoso distacco (haughty detachment) described by Roberto Longhi, but by umana partecipazione (human participation). Such is the case of The Young Artist , where a young apprentice, attired simply in a brown coat and a crooked cap, pauses in his drawing practice, with a folder containing wrinkled sheets of paper and assorted sketches resting on his lap. While the surroundings are modest, the presence of a classical sculpture model on the shelf and the unfinished painting on the easel contribute to a portrayal that is both humble and intimate, offering an honest reflection of the artist's environment. The theme of the young artist was similarly explored by another important Lombard painter, Giuseppe Ghislandi, known as Fra Galgario (1655-1743), as exemplified in his Portrait of a Young Painter at the Accademia di Carrara in Bergamo.

ATTRIBUTED TO MICHAEL DAHL (SWEDISH CIRCA 1659 - 1743) THE HONOURABLE JOHN SPENCER CIRCA 1732 Oil on canvas Inscribed (lower left) 240 x 144.5cm (94¼ x 56¾ in.) Unframed Provenance: Presumably commissioned by the sitters father-in-law, John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville Thence by descent Lady Louisa Carteret, who married Thomas Thynne, 2nd Viscout Weymouth Thence by descent Henry Frederick Thynne, 1st Baron Carteret (1735 - 1763) Thence by descent His sale, Christie's London, The Thynne Heirlooms , 1 May 1911, lot 54 (to Cohen) Private Collection, England Sale, Christie's, London, 11 July 1997, lot 54 (as attributed to Stephen Slaughter) Private Collection, South Africa Literature: Herbert Minton Cundall, Handbook for Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire; with Maps and Plans , John Murray, London, 1895, p.130 The Honourable John Spencer was born on the 13 th May 1708, and was the youngest son of Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland and his wife Anne Churchill, daughter of the 1st Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. John was only 7 when his mother died and he was consequentially bought up by his grandmother, the infamous Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. Unlike his brothers, John had not inherited a title, despite this, his grandmother wrote that " I design to set up the only grandson I have now that is a commoner, John Spencer, who has a very considerable fortune for a younger brother, and I will it as good as most elder brothers ". This was certainly the case and the inheritance from his grandmother allowed John to live an immensely comfortable life. After attending Eton, he undertook a Grand Tour between 1725 and 1727 going to France, Switzerland and Italy. In 1732, John Spencer succeeded his cousin, William Godolphin, Marquess of Blandford, as the Member of Parliament for Woodstock, a seat he held until his death in 1746. He is also listed as one of the founding governors for the Foundling Hospital, set up to educate and house deserted young children. On the death of his father, in 1722, he inherited vast swathes of land, notably the family estates in Northamptonshire, including Althorp, as well as already having the properties given to him by his grandmother, including Wimbledon Park. Shortly after he came into his inheritance, he married Georgiana Caroline Carteret, the third daughter and co-heir of John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville. Michael Dahl ( circa 1659 - 1743), moved to England in 1688, after spending time studying in Italy and France. His talent was much sought after and he painted portraits of the upper echelons of English society, including Queen Anne, and Prince George of Denmark. He also painted Spencer's brother, Charles Duke of Marlborough (1706 - 1758), in 1737 (see, Sotheby's, London, 24 November Charles Duke of Marlborough (1706 - 1758), in 1737 2005, lot 28). This interesting full-length portrait depicting John Spencer in Hussar's uniform was noted by art historian Minton Cundall as hanging in the drawing room at Haynes Park in 1895, alongside the portrait of Spencer's wife Georgiana Carteret, also by Vanderbank and now in the collection of the Earl Spencer at Althorp. It is highly probable that these two works were commissioned by John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville for the couple's marriage in 1732, and hung together as pendant works. John Spencer was a popular figure at Court and great friends with Frederick, Prince of Wales. Indeed, his portrait is also captured by the equestrian artist John Wootton in a series of works in the Royal Collection showing the Prince of Wales accompanied by courtiers whilst shooting and hunting. Spencer's position at Court was reflected in his appointment as the Ranger of Windsor Great Park, after the death of his grandmother in 1744, who held the position previously. Unusually, the rich Hussar's uniform which Spencer wears seems to have been chosen as Court fancy dress rather than to indicate a military position. Spencer was a politician and landowner rather than a military man and there does not appear to be any record of him serving with an Hussar regiment. Dahl's capability in recreating the rich materials and textiles of this exotic uniform gives the sitter an added gravitas and the size of the portrait gives additional swagger to an impressive composition.
