Bunin Narkiz N.
 

Eugene, Welcome, gentlemen!
I would like someone to help (orientated) on the estimated cost of painting (oil on canvas, 48 ​​x 55) Narkiz Bunin N., "into the fold," 1889.
Thanks in advance.

The picture is not restored.
Acknowledgment of authorship Bunin N.
was made in the course of the examination in the Tretyakov gallery.

Things of this author are rare at auction , but only on sales where you can understand something on prices for the work of an author.
Here in May . , at an auction in the gallery that exhibited Shishkin seascape Bunin, with an estimate of 800 - 1200 m rubles. , but not was sold.

And again, I would advise you on the website found at Sotheby's auction on 11/20/2001 Lot 59, sold under the item number Bunin "Napoleon accompanied by his Generals" . Maybe there the care of once you orient the price on his subject , taking , however, considering the size of that thing and the very time of the sale.

Zdravstvuyte.Soobschite please, if you sell the work.

I do not understand the essence of the mise en scene, but I remembered a similar, in my opinion, the picture Bunin N. 1886.

In my opinion - a very nice thing to write, and entertaining on the subject . Also - early related to the better, perhaps, the most fruitful period of creativity Bunin.
It is in the middle - II half of 1880 N. especially a lot of work , regularly exhibited his paintings at the annual exhibitions in the halls of IAH . ( It is desirable to see if it exhibited a picture is discussed in academic exhibitions or fairs , St. Petersburg About the Society of Artists. Possible to look posthumous exhibition catalog Narkiz N. , held in St. Petersburg in 1913 ).
During his lifetime his works enjoyed Bunin stable success, and very readily acquired from exhibitions in the art collections of St. Petersburg and Moscow . ( For example, several paintings were purchased in a private collection of Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich , Michael N. and N. Peter , with whom Bunin served in the Guards ).
It seems to me that the commercial prospects for the picture - quite a badsome . Just not in any way not to do the restoration . Sell ​​it - as it is.

Absolutely.

The new owner will make himself what he should have a restorer.

Gentlemen,


Thank you for your feedback and comments.
Thank you.

There were secret lovers , and the usual places of rendez-vous had been shed, barn, barn , barn, Punia, Clooney and Bath ...

Here is a brilliant version. On the canvas captures the moment when 8 years after his tragic death HIH visit the breeder - self-taught , who formulated the famous Romanov sheep breed . And a lady medium, notify the Minister of War that it is from these skins must needs continue to sew military coats ...

Romanov was brought before that, Peter I of European screens, like everyone else.

And not a Romanov Bunin, alas, of Black and Blackfoot Romanov.

Let me ( solely for the purpose of the study ) to give here a picture N.N.Bunina , caused at one time considerable noise. Of course , anyone coming into contact with the creative legacy of Bunin's story knows . So it is - not for them. This is for those who managed to dodge.
So, Bunin N., " Fishing ." Exhibition of the St. Petersburg About the Society of Artists, 1903 . Leo Tolstoy , and Ilya Repin fishing (and, accordingly , no pants ).
The picture was deemed an absolute sacrilege , required to remove from exposure, and especially ardent admirer of Tolstoy engraved directly on the canvas - " Abomination !"
And in my opinion - nothing dreadful . N. Narkiz clearly flattered depicted : their excellency , for example - is much over 70 , and legs - as a young man , tennis ...

Allow myself (only with finding purpose ) to give here one picture N.N.Bunina , done at the time considerable noise. Of course , anyone coming into contact with the artistic legacy of Bunin's story knows. So it was - not for them. This is for those who have managed to evade.
So, N. Bunin , " Fishing ." Exhibition St. Petersburg Island artists, 1903. Leo Tolstoy and Ilya Repin fishing ( and, accordingly, no pants ).
Picture found absolute blasphemy and demanded to remove from exposure, and zealous fan of Tolstoy inscribed directly on the canvas - " Abomination !"
And in my opinion - nothing dreadful . Narkiz N. obviously flattering images: their excellency , for example - already heavily over 70, and the legs - as a young man , a tennis player ...

This reporter was given six days in jail for it.

That's done with the damn scorner tsarist regime ... here is his fangs ... Azhno six days in jail ! (With lunch from a nearby restaurant, I suppose ).
For some reason I remembered the infamous Lenin inkpot of bread , filled with milk. Which Lenin something there between the lines he wrote . ( Must be - "Notes between the lines ." <! - 7 ~ ~ ->) When we hammered it into his head, somehow I never thought : prison inmates were given milk! What bastards !

Of course, "animal" - "six days of detention without replacing the fine" .
Lord, you animals. Lord ... (a) :D
