Feigen (1930-2021) <> Comme un certain nombre de sujets religieux peints par Aert de Gelder, ce panneau fut long temps donné à son maître Rembrandt. Il s'inspire d'ailleurs d<#une gravure de ce dernier (B.75) dont Denon conservait deux épreuves (cf. Duchesne, 1826, no.347). https://0700polygraf.blogspot.com/2023/04/blog-post_22.html Il existe, dans une collection particulière, une gravure inédite de Denon (mais qui correspond peut-être à celle citée par Hofstede de Groot) portant la lettre <>, qui laisse penser que le tableau aurait dû figurer dans les Monuments des Arts du Dessin 1829/30.

Feigen with the dealer Puppa Sayn-Wittgenstein Nottebohm, who teamed up with Richard L. Feigen & Co in 2018 Courtesy of Richard L. Feigen & Co Feigen found few allies in the broader art world to preserve the foundation as Barnes intended it. In the 2009 documentary film The Art of the Steal, Feigen walked through galleries at Sotheby’s, where lesser works by artists collected by Barnes were on view. He mocked efforts to monetise some of the Barnes Foundation’s best-known works. “Cézanne’s Card Players would probably be beyond any individual’s capacity—how much money is in any one place? The Getty couldn’t afford it. You’d need some sort of a nation to buy it,” he said on camera. In 2000, Feigen acquired a painting said to be by Ludovico Carracci from Lempertz auction house in Cologne. The picture had come from a 1937 sale in Dusseldorf from Galerie Stern, a Jewish-owned business forced by the Nazi government to sell its inventory at heavily reduced prices. The proprietor, Max Stern, fled to England and later established a gallery in Montreal. The Max Stern Art Restitution Project tracks and seeks to recover works from the 1937 sale. Feigen surrendered the painting to the US authorities when he learned the 1937 sale under duress was illegal. Facing a tough battle for compensation in a German court, he said, “They [Lempertz] may not have to abide by American law, but they may have to abide by American publicity…” He sued Lempertz in Germany to get his money back, losing at trial and on appeal
