This is Datapage 22 re Auguste (or August) Friedrich
(or Frederic) Albrecht (or Albert) Schenck.
AUTOUR DE
L'AUGE (c. 1868)
What a
beautiful image! It helps to know that 'Autour de l'auge' translates as 'Around
the trough'.
The location of the original work is quite unknown - to the webmaster at least -
unless you feel that knowing that Count Castellani owned it in about 1884, helps
any today! I was most grateful to find that the work
had been made into a print, etched by Amand-Durand (1831-1905), whose name seems to be more prominent re the work than Albert Schenck, the original artist.
(Amand-Durand is however a very famous etcher indeed & is particularly
noted for his many Rembrandt etchings.) A copy of the 'Schenck' print is currently (in
Aug. 2009) available for purchase at Lirolay.com.
To find it there, search for Schenck. An image of the etching is available there, the etching being of approximately 12 cm x 23 cm in size
& overall of 19 cm x 28 cm in size.
It would seem that a copy of the print is in the collection of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Apparently 15 x 24.6 cm. in size. And it can be seen at this
link.
Here is an image of the print. Truly a beauty!
Enjoy!
I do not have the ability in French to understand
completely what was available at a sale conducted at the Galerie Andre Fils, but it looks like the above print. Described as 'SCHENCK Aug. 1828-1901,
Ec. Française, Eau Forte d'après, "Les Ânes" 15x25cm' - here, at Item 826.
At that item there is a link to an image of the above work.
But... in Aug. 2009, no image appears at that link. Sold for 32 EUR it would seem, but I cannot see exactly when, nor where. Now the word 'Ânes' means donkeys of course. But despite that, the
image link used to confirm the title of the print as being 'Autour de L'Auge'.
More when I get more! Maybe YOU could provide new data or could provide a clue as to where new data
about the above work (or indeed any other Schenck work) might be found.
I would truly welcome your input.
