About the Item
Julien-Auguste HERVÉ (1854-1932)
Toothache, circa 1900
Oil on canvas
Signed "JULIEN HERVE" and dated lower right
61.5 x 50 cm
Born in 1854 in Basse-Indre, Loire-Atlantique, Julien-Auguste Hervé received his initial artistic training at the École nationale supérieure des arts et métiers in Angers. He moved to Versailles in 1880, where he worked for the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Ouest, before joining the Société des artistes indépendants in 1888. Formed in 1884, this association brought together artists who asserted a certain freedom, with the aim of presenting works to the public that were not part of the official Salon. At the same time, Julien-Auguste Hervé, who had become a drawing teacher, tried to make a living from his art, and presented paintings every year at the Salon des Indépendants.
In addition to his landscapes and other mythological and biblical scenes, it was his portraits that met with great success from the late 1890s onwards. Enthusiasts were eager to discover his astonishing paintings, which left no one indifferent.
Art critic Gustave Coquiot, who called Julien-Auguste Hervé "Master of Expressionism" in 1898, praised his Dédaigneuse, Mignonette, Hargneux and Pompette after the titles given by the artist to his figures. The artist introduces the term "expressionism", which he sometimes uses before the name ("Expressionism, Hargneux"; "Expressionism (budgetary)"), sometimes after the name ("Samson et Dalila (expressionism)"). The use of this neologism seems to reflect a certain hostility to contemporary Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Julien-Auguste Hervé's main claim to fame is a certain realism with a strong symbolism.
The British art critic Charles Rowley used the term "expressionism" in 1880 to describe modern artists concerned with expressing emotions and passions. It was later used in Germany for the Berlin Secession exhibition of 1911, but it would be risky to establish any link, however tenuous, with the avant-garde movement of the early 20th century that retained the name.
The rare painting we present, with its unusual theme of toothache, bears witness to the artist's facetiousness.

Three Angels
By Domenico Piola the Elder
Located in New York, NY
Provenance:
Robert L. and Bertina Suida Manning, New York, until 1996
Private Collection, USA
One of the leading artists in Genoa during the second half of the seventeenth century, Domenico Piola came from a successful family of artists, renowned for their many illusionistic ceiling programs throughout Genoese churches and palaces. A prolific draughtsman and painter, Domenico oversaw an extremely productive studio. In addition to his collaborations with numerous other artists, Domenico also provided many designs for book illustrations and prints that circulated throughout Europe, earning him international exposure and high acclaim in his own day.
As Dr. Anna Orlando has indicated (written communication), the present work is an early work by Piola, datable from the late 1640s. At this time the young artist came strongly under the influence of Castiglione and Valerio Castello, while admiring the works of Giulio Cesare Procaccini. Piola’s works from this period are exuberant and fluid, and the artist’s love of portraying children is evident from the angels and putti that populate both his altarpieces and more intimate paintings.
The present work depicts three angels...

Charles Blevins Davis, Claremont (renamed Trianon), Colorado Springs 1949 -until gifted in 1952 to:
The Poor Sisters of Saint Francis, Trianon, Colorado Springs, 1952 until acquired, 1960, by:
John W. Metzger, Trianon, renamed as the Trianon School of Fine Arts, Colorado Springs, 1960-1967; when transferred to:
The Metzger Family Foundation, Trianon Art Museum, Denver, 1967 - 2004; thence by descent in the Metzger Family until 2015
Exhibited: Trianon Art Museum, Denver (until 2004)
The present work is a spectacular jewel-like canvas by Amigoni, rich in delicate pastel colors, most likely a modello for an altarpiece either lost or never painted. In it the Madonna stands firmly upon a cloud in the heavens, her Child resting on a delicate veil further supported by a cloud, as he gently wraps his arm around his mother’s neck. From above angels prepare to lower flowers and a wreath, while other angels and seraphim surrounding the two joyfully cavort.

Mixed Media on Board
Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame)
A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board.
Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...
