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...

A beautiful and important painting by the great artist Enzo Benedetto, an absolute protagonist of the so-called ‘Second Futurism’. It depicts a seascape captured in its essence of natural energy with the waves of the sea crashing powerfully on the coast, probably a glimpse of his homeland, Calabria. This artwork, never before on the market, comes from an important private collection and is beautified by an impressive original frame in wood, in almost perfect condition. Enzo Benedetto (Reggio Calabria 1905 - Rome 1993) Benedetto, called Record by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, approached the Second Futurism in 1924 after meeting Mino Somenzi and was active as a Futurist until his death, becoming a tenacious continuer of the movement's principles, revisited in 1967 with the Futurism Today manifesto. Benedetto theorised and practised the union of colour with the word and coined the term chrome-paroise to define the synthesis of painting and writing. In 1926 he promoted the futurist hall for the 4th Calabrian Art Biennial in Reggio Calabria where Depero, Dottori, Tato, Fillia, Pozzo, Benedetto Marinetti and himself, amongst others, exhibited. In 1927 he participated in the National Futurist Exhibition in Palermo. He moved permanently to Rome in 1927 and joined the Manifesto in 1931. In a short time he took part in the ‘great Futurist exhibition’ in Imola, the ‘first exhibition of Calabrian art’ in Rome, the ‘33 Futurists’ exhibition at the Pesaro gallery in Milan, and above all the ‘great Futurist exhibition’ at the ‘international artistic circle’ in Via Margutta in Rome. Benedetto had begun flying in 1926, as a photo of the time documents. That same year, inspired by the exploits of the aviator of the same name, he had executed the painting De Pinedo. He adhered to the Manifesto already signed by Balla, Marinetti, Depero, Dottori, Tato, Prampolini and Fillia, which advocated the triumph of a spatiality enhanced by flight in its dynamic effects and freed from the fixity of the horizon. In World War II he was imprisoned in Africa by British troops until the end of the conflict. Benedetto continued his Futurist activities in the second half of the 20th century. From 1939 to 1946 he volunteered for the African campaign and was sent to Libya, after which he was imprisoned for six years in the concentration camps in Alexandria, Ismailia, and in India in Bangalore and Yol in Kashmir. During this imprisonment he was able to paint and some canvases from this period were brought back to Italy, rolled up as personal luggage, In January 1943, he painted Yol, a new psychological oil portrait of Francesco Tommaso Marinetti. In 1946, he returned to Italy and in April 1947 presented his first solo exhibition in Rome. The exhibition dedicated to the great Italian poet and founder of Futurism was opened by Benedetta Marinetti.

In 1949 he took part in the Calabrian Biennial in Reggio Calabria. In 1950 quanta took part with ceramics in the Selective Exhibition of Artistic Craftsmanship in the Angelicum in Milan, and with paintings in the Historical Review of Futurism in the Palazzo di Re Enzo in Bologna. He then held an important solo exhibition in Milan, at the ‘Centro d'Arte San Babila’ and participated in the sixth Quadrennial in Rome. He had a solo exhibition in Fano and another exhibition in Rome in the Galleria del Palazzo delle Esposizioni and in the Galleria del Teatro ‘il Millimetro’.

His fresco in the Palazzo Capponi, Florence, is dated 1707. He worked mainly in Florence for Florentine and Tuscan clients, but he did not devote himself only to painting. In fact, in 1674, he published an essay on astronomy entitled Fabbrica ed uso dell' Annulo Astronomico. Bartolomeo Bimbi was one of his pupils.

The Vajolet Towers - Italy Artist: A. Thöny Period: Early 1900s Origin: Italy Technique and support: Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard Dimensions: Height – 33 cm Width – 27 cm Description: The artwork depicts a landscape view of the Vajolet Towers, a prominent rock formation in the Catinaccio Dolomite massif. The artist employs a vertical composition, ideal for emphasizing the upward thrust of the towers, which rise monumentally against the sky. Thöny’s pictorial language is marked by a dense and vigorous brushstroke, particularly evident in the rocky details, where the use of oil paint enhances the typical limestone hues of the Dolomite rock. Dominant tones include ochre, warm greys, and earthy greens, with accents of white and light blue suggesting reflected light or lingering snow. The atmosphere is conveyed through a balanced interplay of solid and airy elements: the towers emerge from low-lying clouds, creating a contrast between the mountain’s solidity and the sky’s dynamic quality. The latter is rendered in cool tones—shades of blue and light grey—achieved through light glazing, contrasting with the more textured and impasto treatment of the rock. The vantage point is elevated yet slightly off-center, offering a framing that enhances the landscape’s perspective and depth, with hints of blurred mountain ridges on the horizon, painted in cobalt blue and greys to evoke a sense of atmospheric distance. Signed lower right, “A. Thöny”. A. Thöny was active in Merano, in the alpine region of South Tyrol, and belonged to the romantic-naturalist school of the late 19th century, connected to the Central European tradition of alpine landscape painting...
