Oil painting Emil Orlik "Landhaus in Erlach" 1914

About the Item

Emil Orlik was born in Prague in 1870 and attended Heinrich Knirr's private painting school and the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich after graduating from high school. From 1899 to 1905 he was a member of the Vienna Secession, and in 1905 he became a professor at the state teaching institute of the Berlin Museum of Decorative Arts. As a member of the “Klimt Group”, which left the Vienna Secession in 1905, he also painted with Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka. He was friends with some of the most influential artists of his time and cultivated an international network of acquaintances. This is particularly evident in his portraits, whose models included Gustav Mahler, Hermann Bahr, Albert Einstein, Rainer Maria Rilke and Jakob Wassermann. He painted the greats of the international art scene from his immediate circle: Käthe Kollwitz, Franz Marc, Otto Dix, Ernst Barlach, Marc Chagall, Camille Pissarro and others. His works are exhibited in countless important museums in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, the USA, England and other countries. This is particularly evident in his portraits, whose models included Gustav Mahler, Hermann Bahr, Albert Einstein, Rainer Maria Rilke and Jakob Wassermann. He painted the greats of the international art scene from his immediate surroundings: Käthe Kollwitz, Franz Marc, Otto Dix, Ernst Barlach, Marc Chagall, Camille Pissarro and others. His works are exhibited in countless important museums in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, the USA, England and other countries. Our picture “Country House in Erlach” was painted by Orlik in 1914. Influences of the Viennese School, Impressionism and Fauvism as well as German Expressionism are clearly recognizable here. The significance of this work is emphasized above all by the numerous exhibition labels and inventory numbers, eleven in all, on the original frame. The “Country House in Erlach” was exhibited in Vienna, Dresden and Brno, among other places. It is an important painting by Emil Orlik from this period. It is representative of the most important styles and artist groups of classical modernism. Signed ‘Orlik’ and dated ‘14’ on the front of the painting; signed again ‘Orlik’ and titled ‘Landhaus in Erlach’ on the reverse of the frame, adhesive label ‘Mähr Künstlerverein Brünn; Künstlerhaus’, not clearly identifiable adhesive label ‘Elbenfeld’; adhesive label ‘Sächsischer Kunstverein Dresden 1501’ on the reverse of the frame

Oil painting "Lorelei" Jules-Joseph Lefebvre attr. ca. 1890
Located in Klosterneuburg, AT
Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1834-1912) first came to Vienna when he exhibited at the Vienna World Exhibition in 1873. In 1879 he became honorable member of the Akademie of Fine Arts Vienna and was called to be a member of the jury of the First International Art Exhibition in Vienna at the Wiener Künstlerhaus in 1882. From this moment on, he exhibited regularly in the Austrian Empire until 1902. In 1882, the Austrian Cultural Ministry purchased his portrait of “La Fiammetta”. In 1895 and 1896, the renowned Galerie Miethke exhibited works by him, the painting “Madeleine” from 1876 among them. We believe that this particular work was to be exhibited at the “III. International Art Exhibition” in the Künstlerhaus in Vienna. The stock book of the exhibition clearly shows the entry in the French section of “Le Febre, Jule”, the name of the work “Lorelei” and the sales price of 35.000 Francs. The fact that the price is very high compared to his colleagues (Henner & Vibert 15.000 Francs) and that the frame for this piece was delivered in a separate box suggests that the work was quite large. It was found in a Villa in Vienna’s 19th district. Not only the frame but also the size and quality of the painting instantly beguiles the beholder. The format and the mythological motif of the “Lorelei” are very much in line with other known paintings by this artist. The composition of the oeuvre is also typical of the works of Jules Lefebvre: a central female figurine in a classic Italian pose, one knee slightly in front of the other. The painted rock in the background is also similar to the actual “Loreley” rock wall in Germany near Koblenz. Another beguiling fact is the model itself: in 1880, Jules Lefebvre discovered a young girl at the Hippodrome in Paris. Her name was Marie-Florentine Roger or Sarah Brown...
