KHARLAMPY DMITRIEVICH KOSTANDI (SECOND HALF OF THE 1860s – AFTER 1917). STORMY SEA RUSSIA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY

KHARLAMPY DMITRIEVICH KOSTANDI (SECOND HALF OF THE 1860s – AFTER 1917). STORMY SEA RUSSIA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY

An outstanding example of late Russian Marinism, Stormy Sea, created by Kharlampiy Dmitrievich Kostandi in the early 20th century, stands among the artist’s most expressive works devoted to the theme of the sea.With remarkable mastery, the artist conveys the raw energy of the raging waters. Foaming waves surge toward a fragile boat, filled with tension, movement, and a sense of inevitability. The sea surface is rendered with striking expressiveness, allowing the viewer to sense the motion of water, gusts of wind, and the charged atmosphere of an approaching storm.At the center of the composition is a small boat with sailors struggling fiercely against the waves. Their tense, determined figures become a powerful symbol of courage, the fight for survival, and hope for salvation. In the distance, along the horizon line, the faint silhouette of a sailing vessel enhances the vastness of space and underscores human vulnerability in the face of nature’s overwhelming force. The contrast between the immensity of the sea and human presence lends the work its dramatic intensity.The color palette is built upon subtle transitions of cool tones, ranging from translucent blues and turquoises to silvery greys. Luminous reflections give the water depth and vibrant movement, while the soft yet energetic brushwork creates a sense of breathing space. This atmospheric treatment aligns Kostandi with the finest masters of the Russian Marinist tradition, while highlighting his individual, restrained, and realist approach in contrast to the Romantic expressiveness of Aivazovsky.Dimensions: 49 × 80 cm (framed 78 × 110 cm)Medium: Oil on canvasSignature: “X. Kostandi”, lower left, consistent with the artist’s known autographsCondition: Good overall condition, with natural age patina and an even craquelure patternProvenance: Private collection.

SECRETARY DESK WITH A PAINTED PANEL, PAUL SORMANI FRANCE, PARIS, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

SECRETARY DESK WITH A PAINTED PANEL, PAUL SORMANI FRANCE, PARIS, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

A museum-quality secrétaire created in the Parisian workshop of Paul Sormani, representing an outstanding example of French furniture of the second half of the 19th century, executed in the spirit of Historicism with refined references to the Louis XV style. The carcass is made of solid wood and veneered with kingwood, carefully selected for its grain and tone and laid in a precise geometric pattern that emphasizes the architectural clarity of the form.The secrétaire stands on tall cabriole legs richly adorned with gilt-bronze mounts. The flowing curves of the legs and their bases are accentuated by bronze elements with vegetal motifs, lending the piece visual lightness and elegant dynamism.The principal artistic focal point is the large painted panel set into the fall-front, depicting classical lovers running toward a fountain, surrounded by cupids. Executed in the academic tradition, the composition displays finely modelled figures, soft chiaroscuro and a painterly depth of landscape background. The panel is framed by an elaborate gilt-bronze mount with rocaille scrolls, floral tendrils and corner mascarons in the form of female heads organically integrated into the decorative structure of the façade.Beneath the fall-front is a drawer decorated with undulating bronze foliage and refined handles. The interior is rationally and functionally arranged: the upper section divided by a shelf, the lower fitted with four small drawers in mahogany, two of which lock with a key. The writing surface is lined with green velvet, creating a noble contrast with the warm tones of the wood and gilt bronze.The upper section of the secrétaire is finished with a broad horizontal surface enclosed by an elegant gilt-bronze balustrade, reinforcing the ceremonial character of the piece and the completeness of its composition. The lockplate bears the maker’s signature with the Paris workshop address.Marks: Maker’s lockplate signed “Paul Sormani, 10 r. Charlot, Paris”.Dimensions: Height: 137 cm. Width: 87 cm. Depth: 39 cm.Condition: Good.Provenance: Private European collection.
