Tapestries: Kings, Cardinals, and William Randolph Hearst

Brunk Auctions is proud to present, in our British & Continental Auction on March 11th, sixteen fine antique tapestries, freshly deaccessioned from the Brooklyn Museum. Of the sixteen, eight are of particularly special note, having been owned by American news mogul and businessman William Randolph Hearst.

When one thinks of tapestries as an art form, the odds are good they associate them with the rich nobility and upper classes of the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and the Early Modern era to a lesser extent. Tapestries decorate the walls of castles and of palatial manses, like Asheville’s very own Biltmore Estate, as indicators both of financial means and of artistic taste. And as such, when their owners find themselves wanting a change of decor, downsizing, or redesigning their home, or pass on, often they are donated to museums, where they can be enjoyed by a much larger audience for years to come.

This is essentially what happened to this fine collection. The eight aforementioned tapestries actually comprise two series’, one of five and one of three. The former depicts episodes in the life of a general of the Roman Republic Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, whose rise, fall, defection, and death were immortalized in the tragedy Coriolanus by William Shakespeare. The latter depicts scenes from The Adventures of Telemachus by Francois Fenelon, an extra-Homeric tale exploring the life of Telemachus, son of Odysseus, while his father was undertaking the arduous journey home of his own story. Hearst inherited the Coriolanus quintet from his mother Phoebe Apperson Hearst and purchased the Telemachus trio from the art dealers French & Company.

But the provenance of these pieces begins well before they found themselves in the collection of the Hearsts. French & Company purchased the Telemachus series from New York antiques dealer Henry Symons and the Coriolanus series boasts an impressive record of ownership. Before Hearst’s mother, they were owned by art critic and tapestry authority Charles Mather Ffoulke, who purchased them in 1889, along with 130 other tapestries, from the Barbernini family of Rome, their entire collection. The Barberini family, a noble house known for their historic presence in the upper echelons of the Catholic Church, owned the tapestries for more than 200 years, Cardinal Antonio Barberini having purchased them from his close friend and political ally Cardinal Jules Mazarin, who acquired them in France, possibly from King Louis XIII himself. By the time Hearst came to own them, he was the latest in a long line of rich, powerful, and influential appreciators of the arts to do so.

But Hearst stands out amongst them nevertheless. He primarily used his wealth for two things; to accrue a truly singular collection of fine art to decorate his similarly-opulent homes, and to give generously to a slew of charitable

organizations and causes, pursuits that reflected his lifelong appreciation for the arts and his deep philanthropic interests. The culmination of this publicspirited aspect of Hearst was his establishment of the Hearst Foundation, Inc. in 1945 and the California Charities Foundation in 1948, which was renamed to the William Randolph Hearst Foundation shortly after the death of its founder. The foundations have given more than 22,300 grants to more than 6,500 recipients over the course of their history, resulting in the total sum of their giving coming to more than $1.5 billion.

It was the Hearst Foundation, Inc. that came to own the tapestries after the death of their founder, and who donated the two sets to the Brooklyn Museum in his memory in 1954. Hearst’s son, William Randolph Hearst Jr., presented the tapestries to the president of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, Robert E. Blum, personally. Both series were shortly thereafter put on prominent display in the museum’s entry hall, there to greet museum visitors with their ornate, elaborate composition and impressive depth of field. They remained in the museum’s collection for nearly 70 years before being deaccessioned and sent to us here at Brunk Auctions to initiate the next chapter in their multi-century long history. We hope you take the sale of these beautiful works of art as an opportunity to add a piece of classical decor, both in content and form, to your home.

Guido Reni, Study of Hands (Italian, 1575-1642)

Two Studies of a Left and Right Hand, unsigned, inscribed faintly in red chalk verso, inscribed verso in pencil with number “137”, black and red chalk on fibrous blue laid paper, 6-3/8 x 9 in.; painted and gilt wood frame, 14-7/8 x 17-1/2 x 1 in., loose, paper faded, some small tears and losses at edges, remnant of hinging tape at two points verso, some smudges and stain; frame with abrasions

Provenance: J. C. Wawra Gallery, Vienna, 1908; The Albertina Museum, Vienna, Austria; Ex-collection of Janos Scholz; Herbert E. Feist Gallery, New York (label verso); Private Collection

Estimate: $1,500 - $2,500

Janos Scholz, a cellist, art collector and benefactor of the Pierpont Morgan Library, was not consistent in marking his collection (see János Scholz, New York, no mark; see Lugt S. 2933b). The paper and technique seem very close to an example held by The Morgan Museum and Library (see: https://www.themorgan.org/drawings/item/142572). It is noted on the backing that this drawing was authenticated by the late Dr. Stephen Pepper (1937-2000). It appears to be from the portfolio of Bolognese drawings once in the Albertina and later broken up, supported by the pencil inscribed number. The note associated with the portfolio title page (https://www.themorgan.org/ drawings/item/140818) held by The Morgan Library & Museum states, “This is the title page from a portfolio of 384 drawings acquired by the Albertina from the J. C. Wawra Gallery in Vienna in 1908 but subsequently sold when they were declared the property of Archduke Friedrich of Hapsburg after World War I. The album had been dismembered at the Albertina, and it was not kept together when it was sold. Many drawings ended up in Berlin, and another group was sold to a Viennese collector and subsequently made its way to the United States. In the introduction to his 1976 exhibition catalogue, Scholz explains that the album ‘became available here in New York’ about 1940. He acquired a large group of the drawings--among them a notable group of studies by Cavedone--as well as this title page, probably the work of a Bolognese dealer in the early eighteenth century. More than 40 sheets from the album came to the Morgan with Scholz’s collection.”

Fine British School Portrait, Peter Tillou Provenance (early 19th century)

Harrison Esq. 1840”, gold ink, watercolor over pencil, 19 x 14-1/2 in.; gilt wood frame, 23 x 18-1/2 x 1-1/2 in., some toning, each corner canted, small losses to watercolor at bottom; frame with wear commensurate with age

Estimate: $1,000 - $2,000

George Henry Harrison Esq. (1816-1846) was an associate of the Old Watercolor Society. The note from David Ker states, “The sitter may well be George Henry Harrison A.O.W.S. (1816-1846) who would have been 24 when this portrait was painted. He was the illegitimate son of a failed merchant and landowner and of the flower painter Mary Harrison. The circumstances of his birth may help account for the exuberant and somewhat fanciful display of heraldry. The coat of arms is for Harrison of London and Yorkshire but the inclusion of the arms of St. Edmund and those of Scotland, Ireland, and the Royal English arms would appear to represent a dubious claim to ancient and aristocratic descent. Furthermore, the device of the two arms holding swords is that of the Queen’s Hereditary Champions and is borne as such only by the family of Dymoke of Scrivelsby. The supporters, the eagle badge, and the Order on Mr. Harrison’s coat suggest a Catholic connection. Such flamboyant displays of ancestral pride arose from the great interest in Arthurian legend which peaked around the mid nineteenth century.”
