SEBALD BEHAM, Nuremberg 1500 – 1550 Frankfurt. Job in conversation with his Friends, 1547. This original engraving is for sale, priced £1500

SEBALD BEHAM
Nuremberg 1500 – 1550 Frankfurt

Beham was one of the ‘German Small Masters’, so-called because of the small scale of the engravings for which they were noted. Though influenced by Dürer, Beham is not specifically recorded as a pupil, and little is known of his earliest years and training in Nuremberg. By 1525 he had his own workshop. That year, Beham, along with his brother and a fellow engraver Georg Pencz, was temporarily exiled from Nuremberg, still a Catholic city, when he was brought to trial for his Protestant beliefs. About 1531-32 Beham settled permanently in Frankfurt, perhaps chosen as his place of residence because of the important book fair held there annually.

The many ordeals suffered by Job as he was tested by God, are listed fairly briefly in the first two chapters of the Book of Job, while the following 29 chapters are given over to his philosophical discussions with his friends Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar, Job’s ‘comforters’. Beham’s single plate of the story of Job focuses on this central theme, leading to Job’s overcoming adversity and being divinely blessed and rewarded. The plate is lettered in Latin with part of verse 7 of the final chapter, 42, of the Book of Job

for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

CAMILLE PISSARRO
St Thomas, Danish Antilles 1830 – 1903 Paris

Pissarro began a series of plates of Rouen in 1883 and the subject predominated through 1884-85 and was reprised several times in 1886. Many of Pissarro’s etchings were done for his own pleasure and that of friends, and only printed in a few artist’s proofs in Pissarro’s lifetime. Formal editions were published a few years after his death.

ROBERT FULTON LOGAN, Lauder, Manitoba 1889 – 1959 Boston, Massachusetts. Le Pont-Neuf, Paris. Original etching.

 

ROBERT FULTON LOGAN
Lauder, Manitoba 1889 – 1959 Boston, Massachusetts

Born on a farm near Lauder, after lessons in Winnipeg with Frank Armington, Logan left Canada at the age of sixteen to study art in the U.S. at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, going on to the Art Institute of Chicago.
The First World War, in which he served in the American Navy, brought Logan to Europe and at the end of the War he was appointed director of the Bellevue Art Training Centre in Paris set up by the American Military authorities for their service personnel.
He also taught at the Louvre. Logan remained in Paris for two decades, exhibiting there regularly.
He would return to the United States in 1934, where, until his retirement in 1954, Logan was in charge of the Department of Art at Connecticut College. In his final years, until his death, Logan was Head of the Art Department at the Sacred Heart College in Newton, Massachusetts, his wife’s home town.

Le Pont-Neuf, Paris

Original etching. Signed in pencil. Edition of 75.

Printed in brown-black ink on cream Arches laid paper.

The Pont Neuf, built as a ‘new’ bridge in 1578-1607, is now the oldest bridge in Paris.

Its picturesque possibilities have attracted artists since the 17th century, when both Jacques Callot and Stefano della Bella etched it. And at the beginning of the Etching Revival in the 19th century, Meryon made it the subject of one of his ground-breaking Eaux-Fortes sur Paris. Like Meryon, Logan chose a low viewpoint. From the embankment, quite close to the bridge, he shows a steam-powered river tug, or "remorqueur de péniches", with its funnel lowered to go through one of the arches.
