Tilman Riemenschneider Research Project

Sensational and Fantastic
The provenance circle of our Tilman Riemenschneider is now fully closed.
Property of the family Josef von Halban (10 October 1870-23 April 1937) who was a famous gynaecologist from Vienna and married with the well-known opera singer Selma Kurz ( 1874-1933)
Selma Kurz was very close with the Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria
(1830-1916).

Jozef von Halban and Selma Kurz had a daughter
Desi von Halban ( 1912-1996 ) she was an opera and concert singer as well.
Desi von Halban married Jacques Goudstikker a celebrity and world famous, highly respected art dealer from Amsterdam on the 24th. of December 1937.
In October 1938, the inventory of the von Halban family of Vienna was exported to The Netherlands, in order of Mrs. Desi Goudstikker- von Halban Kurz .
Our Tilman Riemenschneider sculpture was described on the export inventory list under number 667 and also has the officially Austria export stamp used between 1934-1938 and a paper label with number: 38. ( 1938).
On 20 and 21 December 1938, there was a charity sale in Amsterdam, organised by Frederik Muller in favour of the refugee children from Europe.
Mrs. Desi Goudstikker-von Halban Kurz donated our sculpture for this charity sale.
On 20 and 21 December 1938, Jacques Goudstikker bought our sculpture on this charity sale.
In 1938/39 Jacques Goudstikker, included our sculpture in his famous black leather inventory pocket note book under the number 66 and wrote also that he bought it on the charity sale mentioned above.
Our Maria Magdalena by Tilman Riemenschneider has two original paper labels, on the back, one label with the initials of Jacques Goudstikker and the number 66 of the black leather inventory pocket note-book.
The other paper label with the number 38, ( 1938 )
Jacques Goudstikker sold our sculpture to a collector in Amsterdam.
In 2016 a descendant sold the sculpture at a household effects auction in The Netherlands, where we bought it.
--------------------------------------------------------
We have all the original export information from Austria in our possession.
We also have photos of the original charity sale catalogue and of the pages with the list of donors and the description of our sculpture.
We have a photo of the famous black leather inventory pocket notebook of Jacques Goudstikker of the right sculpture page where you can read under number 66 the details of his purchase of our sculpture.
All names involved in connection with our sculpture are known by us.
All this information will be available for the buyer only.
--------------------------------------------------------
The circle if our sculpture is an original half figure is now also fully closed.
We have already described in this report ( here under ) the technical side why our sculpture was created as an original half figure and now we did the sensational discovery about the artistic side how Tilman Riemenschneider has carved his sculptures.
And we found that All complete standing sculptures of Tilman Riemenschneider wear a coat /mantle or a cape.
So if our sculpture would have been meant to be a whole sculpture you would always see parts of the cape or the mantle.
A good example of this is the sculpture of the Cardinal in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, which was originally a whole figure but was cut in half and you can still clearly see the top part of the mantle by this figure.
Also by the three original half figures made for the Dom in Wurzburg, but which were destroyed in 1945, you can clearly see that two of the Saints wearing only the under clothes, not finished with a mantle. The Cardinal in the middle is wearing a cape, but the cape is free hanging.
By the well known sculpture:” the holy Afra” from the Munchen Museum collection a reliek buste is wearing only a gown, so when Tilman Riemenschneider carved busts or half figures he carved them without a mantle or a cape.
Conclusion:
Tilman Riemenschneider always carved his whole figures with a mantle or a cape and his half figures or busts not.
--------------------------------------------------------
During the research we have also discovered another interesting point of Tilman Riemenschneider himself.
After studying the already accepted carved figures of Tilman Riemenschneider himself we came to the conclusion that by most of his own carvings the left eye ( when you look at the photos the right eye) is slightly more open than the right eye. It might only be about one millimetre, but the left eye is slightly more open. We could see this as a kind of identification for the work done by Tilman Riemenschneider himself.
We did not find this information in the existing literature about Tilman Riemenschneider, but in our opinion it is interesting enough to bring this important discovery to your attention.

After three and a half years of intensive research, we are proud to conclude that our sculpture is a new discovery of a completely unknown work of Tilman Riemenschneider.

Purchased at a public sale of a Dutch auction house.

The provenance is known, but will only be available for the buyer.

Since the moment of purchase our research was starting.

When the sculpture was purchased, it had a later 19th century over painted surface.
This was also concluded in the laboratory of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam where our Riemenschneider has been examinated also by research workers in this field of the Rijksmuseum.
The test done by the laboratory of The Rijksmuseum and the conclusion of the research workers we have in an officially report of the Rijksmuseum, which also confirms that we have to do with a work of Tilman Riemenschneider. This test report will only be available for the buyer.

After this positive result two Carbon tests were made on our sculpture which also concluded that the wood comes exactly from the Tilman Riemenschneider period and that the sculpture was carved from one block of lime wood of a high quality, because there is only one knot at the front and Tilman Riemenschneider has covered this in a genius way with the special shape of the gallipot.

That the hands, the gallipot and the body were carved from one block of wood you can also see by the grain of the wood, the “barcode”, because this grain runs from the right arm over the hand over the gallipot to the second hand and arm.

As written in the Tilman Riemenschneider books, when you find a sculpture of Tilman Riemenschneider and it is carved out of one block of wood, most of the time you have to do with a work of the master himself.

When the later 19th century paint was painstakingly very carefully removed the original black painted eyes and partly the black painted eye lids were recovered and you can see the magnificent overall result on the first photo above, made in daylight.

After the later paint was removed we are now able to see the sculpture exactly the way Tilman Riemenschneider saw it when he made it.

The sculpture has not been restored, the photo's show the sculpture after the later paint was removed with only a thin layer of specially made beeswax.

For a Riemenschneider sculpture, our sculpture has one of the best conserved female Saint faces, no cracks in the face, no missing pieces of the nose.

Also no missing hands or too many worm holes.

Our sculpture shows the typical Tilman Riemenschneider carving, proportions and characteristics.

Most Interesting on the two following photo’s is to see our sculpture side by side under the same light conditions with the well-known Tilman Riemenschneider’s female Saint in the collection at Compton Verney Art Gallery & Park, UK.
It is striking to see the similarity of the proportion of the faces, the expression and other details.
You also see a photo of the reverse of the two sculptures.

We also have compared our sculpture over the three and a half years of the research with the known Tilman Riemenschneider sculptures in the collections of Museums and the ones in the Tilman Riemenschneider books and again it is striking to see the similarities with all the other known Tilman Riemenschneider sculptures.

We have made our own report of ten pages about these similarities which are striking. This report will only be available for the buyer.

To our opinion, our sculpture was born as an original half figure and you can conclude this, by the high position of both hands, the free arms , the type of folds in the dress and the small vertical cracks in the base and the way the scarf ends behind the right arm and that there are no traces of this scarf coming out under the right arm.
You can compare our half figure with the three also original half figures who Tilman Riemenschneider has made for the Cathedral in Würzburg, which are destroyed in 1945.
These three half figures where finished on the reverse, because they where meant to be free standing.
Our figure was meant to be standing in a Predella or in an Altar.

By whole figures of Tilman Riemenschneider the hands/ arms are in a much lower position or one arm is completely stretched downwards to the hip and by whole figures Tilman Riemenschneider starts, most of the time, under the breast with complicated zig / zag folds.
When you cut such a figure in half you always cut through the decoration, which means through the arms and through the complicated folds and through the scarf which usually sticks out under the right arm and that would be clearly visible.

So if our sculpture would have been a whole figure, the hands/arms would never have been in this high position as they are now and the folds would have been in a more complicated zig/zag shape and our sculpture would never have the small vertical cracks in the base, because these cracks only exist after hundreds of years standing directly on a stone foundation. ( damp?)

These typical small vertical base cracks you can see in principal by all Tilman Riemenschneider sculptures.
Tilman Riemenchneider sculptures which were cut in half in a much later period ( 18/19th. century) do not have these small vertical cracks.

Daylight photographs
Conclusion:
Our sculpture belongs to a small group of Tilman Riemenschneider sculptures, which are the best preserved by the time and of an incredible beauty and we can also conclude that our sculpture has always been meant to be not painted, but as” holzsichtig” ( plain wood) you can see that by the fine carving of the details, by the double M and by the fine lace of the chemise, also the black painted eyes speak for this.

Another very interesting point is that the famous Maria Magdalena altar, made for the Magdalena church in Munnerstadt has also been repainted a few times and for the last time in 1830 and this later paint has also been removed and some sculptures of this altar are in the collection of the Bayerisches National Museum in München.
Because our sculpture is also a Maria Magdalena, there could be a possibility that there is a connection of our sculpture with this Magdalena altar/Magdalena church, because it is known that there was a second Maria Magdalena sculpture in this altar and already in 1490 you can read in the quotation for this altar that busts were planned in the underpart of the altar.Another point which speaks for this possibility is that Tilman Riemenschneider has finished the typical folds at the end of the sleeves by the right hand of our Maria Magdalena in principal exactly the same way as the folds of the end of the sleeves by the right hand of Mark /Markus also made for the Predella of this Munnerstadter Altar. (on the original invoice you can read that original busts were planned in this Predella.)
It is really surprisingly that both ends of the sleeves are exactly the same and it proves that Tilman Riemenschneider was working in that period on this way.

Jan Borman II
An original signed JAN BORMAN II ( JAN BORMAN de jongere ) oak sculpture with its history and newly discovered facts, with the great possibility that this sculpture was once part of the missing second altar which Jan Borman II has made for the Chapel of the Holy Arnold in the St. Pieters Church in Leuven and where from till now on no other parts are known and with the great possibility that one of the figures is Desiderius Erasmus who was admired in the town of Leuven in the period that this altar was made. The order to make the second altar came from the St. Arnoldes brotherhood and of the brewers of Leuven.
Circa: 1490-1510
high: 57 cm wide: 65 cm deep: 13 cm
History of the sculpture:
Sold by us to an Amsterdam collector in the nineteen eighty’s.
In the nineteen ninety’s this collector planned to donate this sculpture to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the sculpture was examinated by the experts of the Rijksmuseum and accepted for a planned donation.
From circa 1999 till 2010 there was an extensive correspondence between the former owner and the Rijksmuseum about the sculpture and the plan was discussed to donate the sculpture to the Rijksmuseum. In this correspondence the Rijksmuseum clearly speaks about a group by Jan Borman and that this sculpture would be an enrichment for the medieval collection of the Rijksmuseum. ( this complete correspondence is in our position and will only be available for the buyer.)
Due to the economical financial world crisis the former owner decided not to donate the sculpture to the Rijksmuseum after all, but to sell it and the first he thought of was us, as the former sellers.
We bought the sculpture back from the collector and started a renewal research on the sculpture.
We compared again our sculpture with the famous St. Joris altar and again we came to the conclusion that our sculpture was made by the same sculptor, Jan Borman II, ( JAN BORMAN de jongere) who made the St. Joris altar for the town of Leuven in order of the crossbow guild for the chapel of Onze Lieve Vrouw van Ginderbuiten in 1493.
On this altar you can also find, several times the same figure, the man with the long beard, which you can see on our sculpture as well, described on the St. Joris altar as: Emperor Diocletianus.

The St. Joris altar is signed in fragments, one part only: JAN (on a sword)
and the date is carved on the belt.
Very striking is that the signature on our sculpture is also in fragments and carved on the belt as well:
” IH MAN I “
which stands for: JOHANNES (JAN) (BOR) MAN de jongere = JAN BORMAN II
This was also concluded by a well known Dutch curator, who gave us the explanation of the signature.
Many more details are also similar for example: the stones on the surface of the substrate, partly covered with grass and you’ll find this also by the St. Joris altar and in particularly the character heads clearly come from the same master hand and striking is that the eyes, the eye lids and the faces are carved on the same way and by the same hand.
Technical both altars were built up in the substrate from small blocks of oak.
By our sculpture the robe of Emperor Diocletianus is carved in the same way as the robe of Diocletianus of the St. Joris altar and also one knee with a boot is clearly visible and carved in the same way by both figures.
Striking is also that the rim of the robe exactly has the same ornament by both figures.
Also both hats are the same with on the hats a crown.
Over the last thirty five years we have also discovered that there is a great possibility that the second figure on the left could be: Desiderius Erasmus.
It is known that Desiderius Erasmus was already in 1502 very famous and respected in Leuven and the University offered him an appointment, but he refused.
It is also known that he lived in 1504 in Leuven and that he was for a very long period the guest of Jean Desmarais, Professor in the Rhetoric and Canon of the St. Pieters Church in Leuven and it is of course a co-incidence that Jan Borman II has made the second altar for this church in 1506/7, so it could very well be that there were contacts between Jan Borman II, Jean Desmarais and Desiderius Erasmus and because Erasmus was well respected in Leuven there is a possibility that Jan Borman also has used Erasmus out of respect as a figurant in this altar as one of the circa sixty other figures which are usually used to complete an altar decoration.
It is also known that Erasmus has lived in Anderlecht. ( Bruxelles ) where Jan Borman II lived as well.
That we think about Desiderius Erasmus is based on all this information and on his charismatic face, the long strait nose, the hollow cheeks with the S shaped line beside the nose going down to his lips and his protruding chin, all characteristic features.
That the figure of Erasmus on our sculpture has been carved in profile might come from an engraving of Erasmus, which was used as an example, because it is was known that Erasmus promoted himself with prints of engraved self-portraits.
This together with the clothes and the profile of the face completes the Erasmus characteristic look.

That we maybe can speak about the discovery of the first part known of the missing second altar carved in order of the brewers of Leuven, is also based on the substrate where the four figures are standing on, showing three water springs and it is known that there is a legend of the beer brewers of the Holy Arnold that the first water was used for the beer they made, so the legend of the Holy Arnold reflects on our sculpture, which could have been made for the Chapel of the Holy Arnold in the St. Pieters Church in Leuven in order of the beer brewers of Leuven. ( This information we received from a well- known Belgium curator.)
It is also known that the Holy Arnold was the patron saint of the beer brewers in Leuven.
Conclusion:
A discovery of a magnificent and beautiful unknown, signed JAN BORMAN II sculpture.

An Exceptional And Beautiful Inlaid Tortoiseshell Plaque.
Extremely fine inlaid with engraved mother of pearl grapes, the young Bacchus, flower vases, wine tazza and wine jug, the branches from grapes inlaid with gold colour thread and Pique work.

This very rare plaque could be the work of Jean Bellekin, 1597/98-1636 (possibly the father of Cornelis Bellekin)
It is known that Jean Bellikin engraved in mother of pearl in a very high standard, it is possible that he has used the engraving of Bacchus by Jacob Matham from Haarlem 1571-1631 as inspiration.
Jacob Matham was the steph son of Hendrik Goltzius.

Striking is to see on the engraving the similarities of the objects in comparison with the objects on our plaque. Striking is also that Hendrik Goltzius, the Steph father of Jacob Matham also has engraved a Bacchus with a silver Tassa in his hand with the well known Auricular motif, the same as on the engraving of his Steph son. These silver tassa’s have all been made by the famous Dutch silver smith van Vianen and also striking is that the tassa in the hand of the young Bacchus on our plaque is quite similar with the tassa made by: Christiaan van Vianen in 1628, now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum Twenthe.
So the maker of our plaque was clearly inspired by these two engravings.

The Only Known Erotic Signed Cornelis Bellekin Mother of Pearl Carving, Dutch 17th Century

A very rare Dutch mother of pearl carving by: CORNELIS BELLEKIN, second half 17th.century.

This very unusual carving of Cornelis Bellekin is the front of an ostentation powder flask. (Prunk Pulver horn, pronk kruidhoorn)
The back of the powder flask is with plain mother of pearl, whole over mounted in gilded bronze.
Diam: 13 cm

This is the only known Cornelis Bellekin carving showing a completely naked female figure in the person of Venus, sitting beside a mirror and a jewellery box with a pearl necklace. Behind her two love birds, above her Mercury in the clouds and beside Venus also a cupid with a bow.
Opposite Venus four wine / grape drinking bacchants and a cherub in the air all seated
by a brook/lake within the distance a castle.

Very fine carved and engraved.
Signed: C B = Cornelis Bellekin. c. 1650 – c.1700

Very important by this work of Cornelis Bellekin is the overall excellent condition.
Most of the time, carvings of Cornelis Bellekin are over polished and all the fine details are not visible anymore, but in this case the carving and the engraving is still in magnificent condition.
This is the first erotic subject known by Cornelis Bellekin.
There are other carvings known of Bellekin with naked female figures but they all have draperies between their legs and by our carving every detail is clearly visible.

The whole shell including the profile is in original condition.
At eleven o’clock, you’ll see a small insert in the profile and this is original because on this place the used sea pearl mussel shell has a heavy thickness and goes in a half circle in wards.
To keep the shell as large as possible Cornelis Bellekin has filled this gab with a piece of mother of pearl.

The shell has no cracks or restorations.

To your information:
We are familiar with the work of Cornelis Bellekin since we have sold in the past the two largest known mother of pearl shells by Cornelis Bellekin with the subjects: “ De wonderbaarlijke visvangst” (A wondrous catch of fish) en “ De vlucht naar Egypte” (The escape to Egypt) and another small oval Cornelis Bellekin shell coming from the collection of: Albertus Seba and documented in his Thesaurus, the catalogue of the Albertus Seba collection, which we discovered, is now in the collection of the Amsterdam Historical Museum.
