IV. The art of painting, always consequential and
according to the laws of evolution, without deviation,
gave (by way of cubism), a number of new opportunities
to the original musivical process, on the basis of a new
aesthetics. Liberated from the rigid “instantané” of the
objectual and the dynamical, the window could develop
itself, in organical liaison with the new architecture, into
an orchestral representation of coloured light.

THEO VAN DOESBURG
The meaning of leaded windows in New Architecture*
I. As in the purified, cultural expression of autonomous
painting, in the area of the “leaded window”, one has not
been able to separate decoration from expression.
II. In no form of art is representation, either perspectival
or in a plane, as vulgar and obtrusive as in the “window”.
III. But not only the “representation”, also the process
conflicted with the new demands of some elementary
architects that unanimously objected to the application
of leaded windows in the new architecture. This rather
involved the maximum admittance of light by way of
broad window openings without interruptions.
V. To think in terms of the material now became a strict
requirement.
VI. Holding on to the concept of the “window”, and
taking all constructive elements (joints, cames, etc.) as
a starting point, with due observance of the demands
that originate purely from the art of painting, such as
the composition of light, to be realised as the completing
accent of architecture.
VII. This new window, equivalent to other processes of the
modern plastic arts, is not a surrogate for the preceding:
the illustration, forced into a network of arbitrary leadconnections, but neither to be confused with coloured
shreds of glass arranged according to “good taste and
feeling”. The new leaded window is a cultural product,
that tangibly, anti-lyrically, anti-decoratively and antidramatically represents the aesthetic principal of our time.
VIII. From 1916 onwards I have attempted, in
collaboration with like-minded architects, to give a new
direction to the problem of leaded windows, as described
above. If this has been mere “piano-play” in its practical
application, this can only be blamed on the lack of
assignments to write for this process “full orchestral
scores”.

PIET MONDRIAAN (1872-1944)
Sound and vision
“Herinnering aan een muziekavond” (Memory of a
musical night) is the ambiguous text Mondriaan wrote in
pencil under his nice drawing of trees along a river before
giving it as a present to his friend the piano-player Mien
Philippona. Does it mean that he gave her a work of his
hand as a souvenir of an evening he enjoyed or does this
landscape represent his recollection of a musical night,
watching the trees whilst listening?
Purely academical, one could argue, as Mondriaan
isn’t known for writing titles underneath his drawings or
paintings. And indeed, the second possibility is not very
probable and we would not linger over it any more if it
didn’t allow us to connect the drawing to his later concept
of “the true vision of reality”.
In his autobiographical essay of 1942 Mondriaan
acknowledges that as a young painter – he was 34 years
old in 1906 – he preferred to go out painting when the
weather was dark and grey because details and nuances
would tend to vanish and outlines and surfaces would come
forward.
And there he is, Piet Mondriaan, listening to the music
– maybe the piano of Mien – and looking at the trees
while the light of the sun is slowly diminishing, as are
the details and the shades, allowing the abstraction of the
landscape to become stronger and stronger while the music
goes on and the hour goes late ...
Music or silence, there is
no doubt that the dark and
grey landscapes in his early
work are the heralds of the
new era of art that his later
compositions established.
And thus a drawing that is
presented as a memory of an
evening might be seen as the
dawn of the future.

HERENGRACHT 386
519
HERENGRACHT 386. Original 17th century canal mansion, built by Philips Vingboons for Karel Gerards.
Amsterdam, [1664-1665]
(7.000.000-8.000.000)
Full description and special conditions, see separate brochure (see also pages 150-156 and the special website devoted to the
residence at www.herengracht386.com)
Front facade of Herengracht 386, from Vingboons’ Tweede deel van de Afbeeldsels der Voornaemste Gebouwen uyt alle
die Philips Vingboons geordineert heeft (Amsterdam, 1674)
< Herengracht 386
HERENGRACHT 386
HERENGRACHT 386
The facade today, from frog perspective and seen from the other side of the canal. Although the stairs
and the chimneys didn’t stand the test of time, on the outside little has changed in the past centuries.
In the original design by Vingboons the Doric pilasters of the so-called bel-étage appear underneath
Ionic and Corinthian for the upper floors. The eventual facade however shows a different combination,
still in the order that followed from Scamozzi’s example, but unusual because of replacing Ionic by
Composite pilasters for the upper floors. Although this might have been the decision of the client, the
prominent merchant Karel Gerards, who preferred this more decorative option, the facade as executed
combines style and luxury, architectural and artistic principles and tradition and originality. All
this remained unchanged, and, today, in front of the residence one is easily impressed by the effects
of Vingboons’ order and execution: the severe and solid base, the development into decoration of the
storeys and then, the rich ornamention of the cornice at the roof part that ultimately crowns the facade
HERENGRACHT 386
Philips Vingboons (1607-1678)
Philips Vingboons came from a family of painters, engravers and cartographers. He probably began
his career as a painter himself and may have been a draughtsman for Jacob van Campen, the architect of the Royal Palace on the Dam and of Palace Noordeinde in The
Hague. This would account for his purely classicist start. Specializing in town houses
along the canals, the limited dimensions of floors and facades forced him to choose for
creative and sometimes pragmatic solutions, and thus to a great variety of facades. The
‘halsgevel’ (or ‘Vingboons-gevel’) e.g. is named after him because the oldest specimen
of this elegant type was designed by the architect of Herengracht 386. This type of
facade became very popular, undoubtably because it suited the narrow town houses on
the canals so well.
He documented his own work in his famous “Afbeeldsels der Voornaemste Gebouwen
[...]” (1648), that contains also his design for the new Amsterdam town hall that was
never carried out. Nevertheless he became the most prominent architect of Amsterdam during The Golden Age, designing “residences for merchants, industrialists and
Rear facade of Herengracht 386
officials” but also “various country homes for wealthy citizen on the Vecht and in the
(see page 149. See also lot 391,
the famous ‘Grachtenboek’) polders”. (OTTENHEYM, p. 19)
“the funding house of America’s Independence”
The rich history of Herengracht 386 involves crucial moments in the development of several great
nations and projects. One of the bankers established in the building, Jan Willink, even financed the American War on
Independence and several projects to build up the country. In fact, the recent exhibition in the Museum of Finance on
Wall Street makes clear that Dutch money and entrepreneurship laid the foundation for New York City.
Their best-known and probably most substantial transactions involved
loans made to the United States of America in co-operation with several
other Amsterdam banks. From the very beginning of the War on Independence, Willink had been supportive of the United States government in the
stock exchange and he continued to be of assistance to the new nation. In
1782, six years after independence was proclaimed, His Excellency John
Adams, Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States, was empowered
by Congress to take out a loan of ƒ 5.000.000 at 5% with the banking
houses of Willink, Staphorst, de la Lande and Fijnje. A second loan for
ƒ 2.000.000 followed in 1784. In the following years, until 1794, the
United States was to borrow ƒ 29.000.000 from Willink and the other
banking houses. [...]. From 1789, Willink and other entrepreneurs also
traded in shares of American State Funds. A correspondent in America
looked after the Amsterdam interests. In 1792 a group of businessmen
asked for Willink’s participation in consolidating investments in America.
This gave birth to the ‘Holland Land Company’ which was active mainly
in the states of New York and Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania and the
western parts of New York State the Holland Land Company acquired
some 1.300.000 acres. In addition to his share in the Holland Land Company, Willink also owned his own land in America, 350.000 acres be-
between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and in the Geneese Territory to the
east of Niagara Falls. Part of the records of the Holland Land Company
can be found in the Amsterdam Municipal Archives. Various maps in the
archives show these areas clearly marked, for example a map of 1799:
“Map of the several Tracts of land belonging to the Holland Company,
the Negotiation and Messrs. William and John Willink” (OTTENHEYM, p. 60-61)

room with wall paintings by
Jurriaan Andriessen (17421819)
Jurriaan Andriessen (1742-1819)
In 1773 Gilles Alewijn, appointed Sheriff in the same year, bought Herengracht 386 for ƒ 77.000. The exterior was still unchanged, since Pieter Pels,
one of his most famous predecessors, died before his renovation plans
were carried out. Alewijn is responsible for most of the decorations and
restaurations that give the house its present appearance of elegance and
grandeur, including the impressive staircase - round an open stairwell in
order to ensure that the outside light from above reached the lowest flight
-, the rich stucco decorations and the wall paintings by Jurriaan Andriessen (1776). By the time Alewijn engaged Andriessen, the latter already
enjoyed a considerable reputation for his wall paintings of nature scenes,
very popular in the 18th century. Most of his work was executed for canal
mansions in Amsterdam and the seven ‘built-in’ canvasses he made for
Herengracht 386 are very fine examples of his mastership:
[...] all seven paintings depict separate scenes. Although the landscape is not continuous throughout, Andriessen took into account
in each painting the compostion of the others. On the two short sides of the room, for example, the trees in the paintings are grouped
to correspond. The long wall, opposite the windows, is divided into three sections. Here too, clouds sky and clusters of trees provide a
common link despite the individual character of the pieces themselves. [...] the vistas [...] represent a combination of Dutch scenes
and southern landscapes. On either side of the entry to the large hall, paintings show a country road winding through a hilly terrain
featuring a mule-driver and ‘off-duty’-horsemen taking their ease in a kind of tavern garden. The three canvasses on the long wall
picture various views of a wooded area with cows in a ford, a road with a number of travellers, and a romantic ruin with a modest
farm-house. The mantelpiece is flanked by two very Dutch water-scenes. Again the two paintings are brought into harmony by the
dark groves of trees at their outer sides and the open space towards the centre [...]

Our auction room can be your living room!
At the end of our first art auction, we offer for sale the complete building
(lot 519), including period rooms (i.e. a garden room with original wall paintings by Jurriaan
Andriessen (see exhibition opposite page)) with Louis XIV- style elements and a marvelous
sunny garden of 450 square meters in the heart of Amsterdam. This very impressive residence
at the most fashionable canal of the capital was built by one of the great architects of The
Dutch Golden Age, Philips Vingboons, and has been the setting of historic financial transactions with Russian noblemen, kings of France and Americans at the dawn of Independence
