Adriaen de Vries The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine Brown ink and wash. 13.3 x 14.7 cm. Certificate Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann, May 2011. Provenance Stanilsas d´Albuquerque (Lugt 3147). - E. Blum, London (not included in Lugt). - Sotheby´s New York, 25.01.2012, lot 135. - Dutch private collection. The sculptor Adriaen de Vries, who was born in the Netherlands and later active in some of the most important art centres in Europe, worked in the 1580s in the workshop of Giovanni da Bologna in Florence. Here he received the decisive impulses for his sculptural work. Along with Bologna, de Vries was one of the most important sculptors of the Mannerist movement. Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann describes the stylistic elements of this drawing in detail in his expertise, and convincingly justifies the attribution to de Vries. In his opinion, the sheet can be dated to his early Florentine period, not least because of the religious subject, which is unusual for the artist. From 1601 onwards, de Vries worked at the court of Emperor Rudolf II in Prague. No comparable motifs in his work are known from this period. Adriaen de Vries Martyrium der Heiligen Katharina Feder und Pinsel in Braun. 13,3 x 14,7 cm. Gutachten Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann, Mai 2011. Provenienz Stanislas d´Albuquerque (Lugt 3147). - E. Blum, London (nicht bei Lugt). - Sotheby´s New York, 25.1.2012, Lot 135. - Niederländischen Privatsammlung. Der in den Niederlanden geborene und später in den wichtigsten Kunstzentren Europas tätige Bildhauer Adriaen de Vries arbeitete in den 1580er Jahren in der Werkstatt von Giovanni da Bologna in Florenz. Hier erhielt er die entscheidenden Impulse für sein bildhauerisches Werk. De Vries ist neben Bologna der bedeutendste Bildhauer des Manierismus. Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann beschreibt in seinem Gutachten die Stilelemente dieser Zeichnung ausführlich und begründet überzeugend die Zuschreibung an de Vries. Seiner Meinung nach ist das Blatt in diese frühe Florentiner Zeit zu datieren, nicht zuletzt wegen des für den Künstler ungewöhnlichen religiösen Sujets. Ab 1601 war de Vries in Prag am Hofe Kaiser Rudolf II. tätig. Aus dieser Zeit sind vergleichbare Motive in seinem Werk nicht bekannt.
