Dear Vladimir, how can one explain such a high price (starting) for now Brodsky?

Eugene, I think that you have correctly argued: rarity, finding an interesting story with a happy ending, plus the ambitions deliverer. Deliverer certainly aware of the growing interest in Russia to the official art: how to mass segment, and to the work of academicians. Nevertheless, even taking into account these factors, the price seems prohibitively-high. Even the lower estimate - 450 thousand dollars. Those appointed in the case, if the master in his heart does not want to part with the work. Perhaps had much to love (he considered it a work of Monet).

The fact that an artist has painting, which appreciated at SodBi a 500-700t.u.e automatically increases the price of the rest of his poloten.Eto been a positive factor ..

[Vladimir]

When to sell, then will be a strong argument for the price korretirovki on all fronts. Even better, sales representative that there were several (at least a couple). Do not agree that it works automatically. " I remember the sensational sale Krasnopevtsev for a million years ago. But the signal for all other work the case and did not. At the auction appeared several strong works (strong, but worse). Nevertheless, close to a million more, no work Krasnopevtsev since no closer.
In any case, I wish good luck to the seller.

This train had the sense ... Speculation dorisovat. Good that he did not buy the Venus de Milo.

Presumably it was written in 1910, sold by the author at the exhibition in 1912 and then signed the same.

Well though the catalog is now said to be the experts: what sign marked "dry" colorful layer (or on top of varnish), the authorship question.

In the 1950's a collector from Rome bought this picture, considering her long-lost work of Claude Monet. Unable to make out the artist's signature (a picture signed in Russian in the lower left corner), and considering the high position of the horizon line in the song, so uncharacteristic works of Monet, he decided that the previous owners of paintings, specially modified it by cutting the canvas and adding fake signature . He decided to return the painting of "old" look, so at his request restorer added a strip of cloth on top.

The pictures were installed after the examination of Sotheby's, where the present owners turned the picture. Sotheby's experts together with Natalia Balakin, director of the museum Brodsky in St. Petersburg, came to the conclusion that they face a genuine and high-quality product Isaak Brodsky's pre-revolutionary period. The painting was completed by the artist on his return from a trip to Europe and widely exhibited. The restorers returned the pattern of its former size, and it will be put up for auction in June, after almost a hundred years after her loss.

Painting

At the end of the Imperial Academy of Art Brodsky was right on foreign pensionerstvo "for further improvement and appropriate content. From March to October 1909 he visited Germany, France, Spain, England and Italy. He was fascinated by the work of the old Spanish masters, the French Symbolists and Impressionists. Huge influence on the young artist has creative Italian neoimpressionista Giovanni Segantini (1858-1899). He was fascinated by his technique of painting, with rich, expressive strokes of pure color, thanks to which, when the visual perception of the painting is an optical mixture of smears.

"The nurse with the children, made in neoimpressionisticheskoy manner, refers to one of the most brilliant examples of painting style Brodsky. The bright saturated colors combined with the technique of applying separate swabs now fill with light and movement, creating the illusion of sunlight through the foliage of trees. Compositional decision pattern, with a high horizon line - this is another technique borrowed from Brodsky Segantini.

The picture is mentioned in the lists of works of Brodsky for 1910 and 1912. Equal description of the product in both cases suggests that we are talking about the same work. Supposedly it was written in 1910, sold by the author at the exhibition in 1912 and at the same time signed. The picture was preceded by writing of his famous painting "Children on the Lawn" (1913) from the collection of the house-museum Brodsky, in which repeated some details of the composition, such as the red umbrella and the figure of Nanny.
