Reappearing at Hampel, March 2019: an overview

I've updated quote a few older blog posts with reference to the 28 March 2019 auction at Hampel, Germany, because many paintings (or very close copies) reappear in that auction.

This includes:

*A "resurrection" (or ascension), sold at Audap Mirabaud in June 2018. The version at Hampel is probably not the same but nearly identical.

*An "attributed to Hermann tom Ring" which they tried to sell in September 2018, and now again with a lowered estimate. The attribution is still wrong though.

*A "Simon Marmion", for sale at Hermitage in November 2018, with an identical lower estimate. It still isn't by Marmion though.

*I already wrote a blog post this week about the Francken they now correctly offer and which I first discussed in 2015.

*And finally, an "adoration of the shepherds", for sale at Carlo Bonte in September 2017, is now offered as the work of Hans Rottenhammer and estimated at 28,000 to 35,000 Euro. It is a copy after engravings by Maerten de Vos: whether the copy is made by Rottenhammer is hard to be sure of.
