Bid Information
For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.Minimum Next Bid
Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the Current Bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a Cut Bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment.Internet bids are required only to bid the increment past the Current Bid, or more. Internet bids greater than one increment over the Current Bid can be any whole dollar amount.
It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments. It is also possible for an existing bid to be outbid by less than a full increment, sometimes by only $1. This usually happens when two bidders feel that a lot is worth about the same amount, but one places an off-increment bid. Generally when this happens, the Current Bid was much lower than the high secret maximum bid when the off-increment bidder placed his bid.
For example: On Tuesday, you bid $1500 against Bidder A's Maximum Bid of $1000, raising Current Bid to $1100. Then on Thursday, Bidder B, seeing a Current Bid of $1100, guesses the final price and decides to bid $1501, outbidding your Maximum Bid by $1. You would now have to bid $1600 through Heritage Internet bidding or $1550 on Heritage Live (if available for the auction) to possibly win that lot. Next time, maybe you'll bid $1502 and outbid Bidder B by $1!
Number of Bidders
This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.Status
Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions. At that point, any unmet Reserve will become both the price shown (with an asterisk) and the Minimum Next Bid, regardless of any previous bids.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a consignor reserve.
(Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.
Opening Bid:
Lots bearing estimates and without Consignor Reserve shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (usually 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

MIKHAIL KLODT (Russian, 1832-1902)Riverside Farmstead, 1858
Oil on canvas
41-3/4 x 60-1/2 inches (106.0 x 153.7 cm)
Signed lower right: M. Clodt also signed lower left: Clodt
PROVENANCE:
Sotheby's London - Russian Pictures, Works of Art, and Faberge - 20 February 1985, lot 225
LITERATURE:
Nashi Khudozhniki, F. I. Bulgakov, Saint Petersburg, 1890.
Zabitiyie Imena Russkaya Zhivopis XIX Veka, Alexander Shestimirov, Moscow, 2001, page 129.
Mikhail Konstantinovich Klodt was the uncontested master of 19th-century Russian landscape painting. A scholarly work by F.I. Bulgakov (1890) noted that this very picture won him the First Order Gold Medal at the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1858, where he also received the title of Artist of the First Degree while studying under Vorobiov. Along with it came pension money he used to travel in Europe and make a name for himself through exhibitions and commissions that would insure his fame and place in Russian art history. While Bulgakov titled the picture View on Vallum, its original title was View of the Estate of Zegevald, and it is now known as Riverside Farmstead. It was destined to be his greatest work, a painting that changed the face of the Russian art world.
Klodt was born into an already-famous family of Barons Von Jurgensburg, an art dynasty that included his father, a noted engraver, as well as an uncle and cousin, an accomplished sculptor and painter, respectively. Mikhail was born in the town of Zegevald, a small town "60 miles from the city of Riga" as Klodt saw fit to note in his own hand on the reverse of this painting. Indeed, Riverside Farmstead is an homage to his place of birth, the Latvian town also known as Sigulda.
In this masterpiece Klodt has captured the serenity of the pastoral scene in magnificent detail. Even without Klodt's handwritten notations on the back of the canvas, there is no mistaking the location. The ruins of the 13th-century Sigulda castle high above the Gauja River valley is one of the most celebrated locations in Latvia, and Klodt has majestically placed the ruin in the upper left of the picture.
Mikhail Konstantinovich Klodt would return from his tour of Europe and become a professor at the Imperial Academy, but he never left his roots, traveling throughout the provinces creating beautiful works depicting the landscapes of Russia. While he tutored future Russian artists such as Dubovskoy and Bashinjagyan, among many others, his wanderlust and independent spirit led him to be one of the founders in 1868 of the famous Society of Traveling Exhibitions (Peredvizhniki) Group, appropriately known as the Wanderers. Formed in response to the Academy's repression of genre painting in favor of instruction in Italian historical works instead, the group's influence spread like wildfire throughout the Russian art community, sparking a new acceptance of genre painting in the face of opposition from the Academy.
The Wanderers group would in time include the great Russian artists Shishkin, Repin, Makovsky and Bogdonav-Belskii, with many others to follow. Significantly, it was his submission of Riverside Farmstead as his graduation work in 1858 that influenced Klodt's early leadership role in the movement, which had its roots in the renaissance of Russian genre painting. After the first Wanderers exhibition in 1871 the genre took hold, with many works being acquired by collectors such as Pavel Tretyakov, who assembled the remarkable collection that is now the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. Inevitably the Academy adopted the ideology of the Wanderers, which unfortunately led to the stifling of creativity in late-19th-century Russian art and resulted in a split among the group's members, partly due to Klodt's refusal to relinquish his professorship at the Academy.
While he would occasionally exhibit with the group, Klodt retired from his professorship at the Academy and died in 1902, much revered by the Russian people. A striking picture of the artist painted by Ivan Nikolaevich Kromskoy is prominently displayed in Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery.

КРЕСТЬЯНСКАЯ УСАДЬБА У РЕКИ

ПРОИХОЖДЕНИЕ КАРТИНЫ: АУКЦИОН СОТБИ, ЛОНДОН, ФЕВРАЛЬ 1985 ГОДА
МИХАИЛ КОНСТАНТИНОВИЧ КЛОДТ БЫЛ НЕПРЕВЗОЙДЁННЫМ МАСТЕРОМ РУССКОЙ ПЕЙЗАЖНОЙ ЖИВОПИСИ 19-ГО ВЕКА. ЭТА САМАЯ КАРТИНА ПРИНЕСЛА ЕМУ ЗОЛОТУЮ МЕДАЛЬ НА ВЫСТАВКЕ В АКАДЕМИИ ХУДОЖЕСТВ В 1858 ГОДУ. НАЗНАЧЕННОЕ ПОСОБИЕ ОН ИСПОЛЬЗОВАЛ ДЛЯ ПОЕЗДОК ПО ЕВРОПЕ С ЦЕЛЬЮ СДЕЛАТЬ СЕБЕ ИМЯ В ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННОМ МИРЕ С ПОМОЩЬЮ ВЫСТАВОК И РАБОТ ПО ЗАКАЗУ, КОТОРЫЕ ВПОСЛЕДСТВИИ ПОДТВЕРДЯТ ЕГО СЛАВУ И ЗАСТОЛБЯТ ЕМУ МЕСТО В ИСТОРИИ РУССКОГО ИСКУССТВА (БЛИЗКО К СЛОВАМ БУЛГАКОВА, 1881) .
КЛОДТ ПРОИСХОДИЛ ИЗ ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННО ОДАРЕННОЙ СЕМЬИ БАРОНОВ ФОН ЮРГЕНСБУРГОВ: ОТЕЦ ЕГО ЗАНИМАЛСЯ ГРАВЮРОЙ, ДЯДЯ БЫЛ ЗНАМЕНИТЫМ СКУЛЬПТОРОМ, ДВОЮРОДНЫЙ БРАТ - ЖИВОПИСЦЕМ. МИХАИЛ РОДИЛСЯ В НЕБОЛЬШОМ ГОРОДКЕ СИРИГОЛДА. "В 60 МИЛЯХ ОТ ГОРОДА РИГИ... 20 МАРТА 1858 ГОДА", ТАКУЮ НАДПИСЬ КЛОДТ СОБСТВЕННОРУЧНО СДЕЛАЛ НА ОБРАТНОЙ СТОРОНЕ ЭТОЙ КАРТИНЫ. ДЕЙСТВИТЕЛЬНО, «КРЕСТЬЯНСКАЯ УСАДЬБА У РЕКИ» ЭТО ДАНЬ УВАЖЕНИЯ ЕГО МЕСТУ РОЖДЕНИЯ, СИРИГОЛДЕ, ЛАТВИЙСКОМУ ГОРОДУ, ТАКЖЕ ИЗВЕСТНОМУ КАК СИГУЛДА.
В ЭТОМ ПОИСТИНЕ НАСТОЯЩЕМ ШЕДЕВРЕ РАЗМЕРОМ 104.38 Х 151.25, КЛОДТ С ПОРАЗИТЕЛЬНОЙ ТОЧНОСТЬЮ ЗАПЕЧАТЛЕЛ ПОКОЙ И ЯСНОСТЬ ПАСТОРАЛЬНОЙ СЦЕНЫ.
ДАЖЕ БЕЗ ЕГО НАДПИСИ НА ОБРАТНОЙ СТОРОНЕ ХОЛСТА, МОЖНО БЕЗ ТРУДА ОПРЕДЕЛИТЬ МЕСТО, С КОТОРОГО ПИСАЛАСЬ ЭТА КАРТИНА. РУИНЫ СИГУЛДСКОГО ЗАМКА 13-ГО ВЕКА, ВОЗВЫШАЮЩИЕСЯ НАД ДОЛИНОЙ РЕКИ ГАУЯ, КОТОРЫЕ КЛОДТ РАЗМЕСТИЛ В ВЕРХНЕЙ ЛЕВОЙ ЧАСТИ КАРТИНЫ, ЯВЛЯЮТСЯ ОДНИМ ИЗ САМЫХ ИЗВЕСТНЫХ МЕСТ В ЛАТВИИ.
ПО ВОЗВРАЩЕНИИ ИЗ ПОЕЗДКИ ПО ЕВРОПЕ, МИХАИЛ КОНСТАНТИНОВИЧ КЛОДТ СТАНОВИТСЯ ПРОФЕССОРОМ ИМПЕРАТОРСКОЙ АКАДЕМИИ. ОН НИКОГДА НЕ ИЗМЕНЯЛ СВОИМ КОРНЯМ И МНОГО ПУТЕШЕСТВОВАЛ ПО ПРОВИНЦИАЛЬНОЙ РОССИИ, СОЗДАВАЯ ПРЕКРАСНЫЕ ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЯ ПЕЙЗАЖНОЙ ЖИВОПИСИ. ХОТЯ ОН ЗАНИМАЛСЯ ОБУЧЕНИЕМ ТАКИХ ИЗВЕСТНЫХ РУССКИХ ХУДОЖНИКОВ, КАК ДУБОВСКОЙ И БАШИНДЖАГЯН, А ТАКЖЕ МНОГИХ ДРУГИХ, ЕГО СТРАСТЬ К ПУТЕШЕСТВИЯМ И НЕЗАВИСИМЫЙ ДУХ СДЕЛАЛИ ЕГО ОДНИМ ИЗ ОСНОВАТЕЛЕЙ ЗНАМЕНИТОГО ТОВАРИЩЕСТВА ПЕРЕДВИЖНЫХ ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННЫХ ВЫСТАВОК. ЭТА ГРУППА, ИЗВЕСТНАЯ КАК "ПЕРЕДВИЖНИКИ", БЫЛА СФОРМИРОВАНА В 1868 ГОДУ В ОТВЕТ НА РЕПРЕССИВНУЮ ПОЛИТИКУ В ОТНОШЕНИИ ЖАНРОВОЙ ЖИВОПИСИ СО СТОРОНЫ АКАДЕМИИ, ОТДАВАВШЕЙ СВОЁ ПРЕДПОЧТЕНИЕ КЛАССИЧЕСКОЙ ИТАЛЬЯНСКОЙ ШКОЛЕ.
СО ВРЕМЕНЕМ К ПЕРЕДВИЖНИКАМ ПРИМКНУТ ТАКИЕ ВЕЛИКИЕ РУССКИЕ ХУДОЖНИКИ КАК ШИШКИН, РЕПИН, МАКОВСКИЙ, БОГДАНОВ-БЕЛЬСКИЙ, А ТАКЖЕ МНОГИЕ ДРУГИЕ. ПРИМЕЧАТЕЛЬНО, ЧТО КОРНИ ДВИЖЕНИЯ ВОСХОДЯТ К НАЧАЛУ ТВОРЧЕСКОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ КЛОДТА, КОГДА ЕГО ДИПЛОМНАЯ РАБОТА «КРЕСТЬЯНСКАЯ УСАДЬБА У РЕКИ» В 1958 ГОДУ ОЗНАМЕНОВАЛА ВОЗРОЖДЕНИЕ РУССКОЙ ЖАНРОВОЙ ЖИВОПИСИ. ПОСЛЕ ПЕРВОЙ ВЫСТАВКИ ПЕРЕДВИЖНИКОВ В 1871 ГОДУ ИХ РАБОТЫ СТАЛИ ПРИОБРЕТАТЬСЯ КОЛЛЕКЦИОНЕРАМИ, В ТОМ ЧИСЛЕ И ПАВЛОМ ТРЕТЬЯКОВЫМ, ЧЬЯ КОЛЛЕКЦИЯ ЛЕГЛА В ОСНОВУ ТРЕТЬЯКОВСКОЙ ГАЛЕРЕИ В МОСКВЕ. В КОНЦЕ КОНЦОВ АКАДЕМИЯ ПРИНЯЛА ИДЕОЛОГИЮ ПЕРЕДВИЖНИКОВ, ЧТО, К СОЖАЛЕНИЮ, ПРИВЕЛО К «УДУШЕНИЮ» ТВОРЧЕСКОГО НАЧАЛА В РУССКОМ ИСКУССТВЕ КОНЦА 19 ВЕКА, И ЗАКОНЧИЛОСЬ РАСКОЛОМ МЕЖДУ ЧЛЕНАМИ ГРУППЫ. КЛОДТ ПОКИНУЛ ГРУППУ ОТЧАСТИ ИЗ-ЗА СВОЕГО ПРОФЕССОРСТВА В АКАДЕМИИ.
