About the Item

Our still life depicting a metal brazier on ledge is a rare painting by Baudouin Yvart (French, 1611-1690).  Stretcher measures 15 1/4 by 19 inches.  It has an extraordinary ebonized sgraffito frame, 24 by 28 by 1 3/4 inches, with inlaid mother of pearl and pewter mounts.  Professionally relined and mounted on keyed stretcher. Provenance: Private Collection, Paris, by 1974; Anonymous sale; Boisgirard et Associés, Paris, June 26, 1985, lot 26; Jocelyn Fielding Fine Art Ltd., London; Mr. and Mrs. John H. Gutfreund, CEO Salomon Brothers, New York. Literature: Michel Faré, Le grand siecle de la nature morte en France: le XVIIe siècle (The great cycle of mortal nature in France: the XVII century), Fribourg, 1974, pp.243-244, illustrated. According to Faré, this work depicts a silver brazier by Claude Ballin (1615-1678), the important metalsmith to Louis XIV whose designs can be found in the Louvre, at the Chateau de Versailles and elsewhere. The artist was born in Boulogne-sur-Mer in 1611.  He became a member of l'Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture (the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture) in 1663.  He was a close collaborator with Charles Le Brun, working at Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, at the Manufacture de Maincy from 1658 to 1661, and thereafter at the Manufacture des Gobelins tapestry factory in Paris.  His large work entitled La Sculpture travaillant au buste du roi Louis XIV (Working on the bust sculpture of King Louis XIV), 75.9 by 51.3 inches, is displayed in the north wing of the 17th century exhibition halls at the Louvre.
