English: By bequest from the artist to Legrand, 1863 [1]; Prosper Crabbe (1827-1889), Brussels, by 1873 [2]; A. Bellino, by 1885-1892 [3]; his sale, Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, May 20, 1892, no. 11 (illus.). With Wildenstein & Co., New York, by 1930 [4]. With Paul Rosenberg & Co., New York and Paris, by April 1934 [5]; sold to Henry P. McIlhenny, 1935; bequest to PMA, 1986. 1. According to Robaut (see note 3), Legrand was an attorney and the executor of Delacroix's will, and the painting passed upon his death to Mr. Crabbe and then to Mr. Bellino. 2. Sénateur Prosper Crabbe (1827-1889) was a stockbroker and Brussels collector of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century French art. A notice in The Academy (London), vol. IV, no. 74, 1873, p. 230, states that "a reduced replica of the great picture of Sardanapalus by Delacroix now exhibiting at the Society of French Artists in Bond-street, was bought by M. Prosper Crabbe at the Wilson sale for 70.000 francs." However the only Delacroix painting in the Daniel Wilson sale of 1873 was the original 1827 version now in the Louvre. 3. Preceding provenance per Robaut, L'oeuvre complet de Eugène Delacroix (Paris, 1885), no. 791, and the 1885 exhibition catalogue, "Exposition Eugène Delacroix," École Nationale des Beaux-Arts, no. 8. 4. Wildenstein lent the painting to the exhibition in Paris, Palais du Louvre, "Exposition Eugène Delacroix," June-September 1930, no. 112 (see also exhibition loan label on reverse of painting). 5. Copies of correspondence between Rosenberg and McIlhenny in curatorial file. |
