冠絕紐約「古典大師」夜拍 納粹掠奪名畫HK$6,000萬成交

紐約「古典大師油畫」晚拍結果出爐,一如所料,曾遭納粹掠奪的老盧卡斯(Lucas Cranach the Elder)名畫高價以US$770萬(HK$6,030萬;NT$2.25億)成交,冠絕全場。

此肖像繪的是畫家好友 - 著名基督新教王公腓特烈(John Frederick I),原為猶太銀行家Fritz Gutmann(1886-1944,下圖)所有。他是一位名收藏家,擁有許多古典名畫,當中尤以老盧卡斯為重。

二戰期間,Gutmann慘遭納粹毒手,無數珍藏亦隨之被掠,包括這幅名畫。至去年底,此畫再現人間,與Gutmann後人重聚後,登上佳士得拍賣場,連佣US$770萬成交,遠超US$100萬 - 200萬的估價範圍。

第二位是鼎鼎大名的魯本斯(Peter Paul Rubens)畫作,估價US$500萬 - 700萬,連佣US$570萬(HK$4,440萬;NT$1.65億)成交。

魯本斯是巴洛克藝術的代表人物,在此作中以經典希臘神話為題材。右面有雙角的男性是「薩堤爾」(Satyr),乃一種半人半山羊的生物,為酒神隨徒。左面的女性則是「寧芙」(Nymph),乃在山林湖泊出沒的精靈。薩堤爾與寧芙追遂嬉戲的畫面,在西洋畫作常見,是一種很純粹的享樂。

第三位是「羅馬畫派」的馬比斯(Jan Gossaert,常稱為Jan Mabuse)之作,畫中人一看知道是瑪利亞和小耶穌,估價US$300萬 - 500萬,連佣US$330萬(HK$2,570萬;NT$9,580萬)成交。

所謂「羅馬畫派」,是指16世紀時由「低地諸國」去到羅馬的畫家。他們在當地受到米高安哲奴(Michelangelo)等巨匠影響,回家後創作出帶著意大利風格的另類文藝復興藝術。低地諸國泛指西北沿海地區,包括荷蘭、比利時、盧森堡、法國北部及德國西部。馬比斯來自現今法國北部邊境的Maubeuge。
