Post lot text FRENCH-FLEMISH SCHOOL AROUND 1480-1500, SAINT JEROME, SAINT AUGUSTINE, SAINT GREGORY, SAINT AMBROSE; THE ANGEL AND THE VIRGIN OF THE ANNUNCIATION, OIL ON DOUBLE-SIDED PANELS, GRISAILLE, A PAIR FORMING SIDE PANELS OF AN ALTARPIECEAs a result of their history, their prestigious collectors, their provenance and exhibitions, the altarpiece wings we are presenting today have been an important preoccupation of art historians since the beginning of the 20th century. From Hulin de Loo to Friedländer, from Bouchot to Sterling, our panels have been recognized and lauded for both their pictorial qualities as well as for their rare and erudite iconography. The picture remains mysterious, and both its attribution and the locus of its production have yet to reach unanimity amongst scholars. These two wings presume the existence of a central panel, upon which they would have folded. The Annunciation scene, in grisaille, testifies to this. The subject on the other side of our panels, depicting the four fathers of the Western Church, is fairly rare. The four father depicted are Saint Jerome, in the top left (wearing a cardinal’s robe), Saint Augustine in the bottom left (donning a bishop’s mitre and holding a crozier and a heart), Saint Gregory in the top right (dressed as a pope), and Saint Ambrose (next to his attribute, a bee’s hive). The four fathers of the church are here represented sat in full ecclesiastic dress, composing the patristic writings which have helped shape Christian doctrine. This learned subject allows us to postulate that our panels were part of a prestigious and scholarly commission, certainly a convent or monastery. As for the central panel, we can imagine a scene relating to one of the core themes of Christianity, such as a representation of the Holy Trinity. Our pair of triptych’s wings was exhibited in 1904 at the Louvre’s Marsan pavilion in Paris, during the prestigious and ground-breaking exhibition dedicated to French primitives. At the time, our panels were attributed to the French school, specifically the school of Artois around 1450, which opened the door for the study of more northern influences. Subsequently, Charles Sterling (1901-1991) proposed a link with the works of Simon Marmion (1485-1489, active in the duchy of Burgundy and member of the guild of Tournai, then active in Amiens and Valenciennes) (Sterling, op. cit., p. 63, n°46). From an artistically divided France, one which is also undergoing major political and geographic mutations, French painting will begin to gradually define itself in the 15th century. In an environment of artistic emulation, one fuelled by rapid developments, it will build itself a clear and defined identity. In this context, the arrival of Flemish and Italian masters will be key. Whilst paintings from this period are still largely thought of as belonging to regional schools (the Avignon school, the Amien school, the Artois school) they also need to be understood within a broader, European context. Cultural exchanges between countries was considerable in the 15th century, and our paintings are a perfect illustration of that. We would like to thank all the art historians and curators that have helped in the writing of the above catalogue entry.
