Il fr\u00e9quente par la suite un grand nombre d\u2019ateliers importants de l\u2019\u00e9poque. De mars \u00e0 avril 1861, on le retrouve ainsi chez le facteur d\u2019orgues et inventeur du proc\u00e9d\u00e9 industriel de violon moul\u00e9, Didier Poirot, puis dans l\u2019atelier de Grandjon J. Fils d\u2019avril \u00e0 mai 1861, et enfin comme ouvrier chez Laberte Humbert de novembre 1861 \u00e0 mai 1862. Il ne r\u00e9siste finalement pas \u00e0 l\u2019appel de la capitale et rejoint, pour l\u2019ann\u00e9e 1862, l\u2019atelier de S\u00e9bastien Vuillaume qu\u2019il finira par quitter pour la maison E. Henry-J. Martin. Enfin, ses p\u00e9r\u00e9grinations le m\u00e8nent jusqu\u2019\u00e0 Aix-la-Chapelle, chez Nicolas Darche, pour qui il travaille durant l\u2019ann\u00e9e 1864, avant de prendre la d\u00e9cision de rentrer \u00e0 Mirecourt et de retrouver l\u2019atelier de Laberte Humbert.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> De ses diverses exp\u00e9riences, Joseph Hel restera particuli\u00e8rement marqu\u00e9 par son passage chez Nicolas Darche durant la premi\u00e8re partie de sa carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Aude Cordonnier (dir.), <em>La collection Hel, Instruments de musique anciens r\u00e9unis par deux luthiers lillois<\/em>, catalogue d\u2019exposition, 2 d\u00e9cembre 1989 \u2013 2 avril 1990, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Hospice Comtesse, Lille, 1990<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>De toutes les maisons qu\u2019il a pu fr\u00e9quenter, celle qui a le plus impact\u00e9 son style, c\u2019est celle de Darche \u00e0 Aix-la-Chapelle.

Cet instrument est le tout premier mod\u00e8le num\u00e9rot\u00e9 de Pierre Hel. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9 alors que le luthier n\u2019avait que 15 ans. Il s\u2019agit donc d\u2019une pi\u00e8ce absolument exceptionnelle sur le plan historique, qui nous offre un t\u00e9moignage unique du d\u00e9but de la carri\u00e8re de Pierre Hel et des transferts de savoir-faire entre le p\u00e8re et le fils. Il porte le num\u00e9ro 1, ainsi que l\u2019\u00e9tiquette et la signature du luthier. Cet instrument nous permet de peser l\u2019importance de l\u2019influence de Joseph Hel sur le travail de premi\u00e8re \u00e9poque de Pierre Hel, qui s\u2019observe tout particuli\u00e8rement dans le vernis, le mod\u00e8le et le travail des t\u00eates.&nbsp;<br>En effet, en comparaison avec les violons de derni\u00e8re \u00e9poque de Joseph Hel, on constate que les vernis utilis\u00e9s par Pierre Hel sont les m\u00eames, \u00e0 l\u2019allure plut\u00f4t plastifi\u00e9e, sans trop de texture et assez \u00e9pais.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Ce premier instrument est historiquement tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant, puisqu\u2019il t\u00e9moigne d\u2019une main certes d\u00e9butante et parfois h\u00e9sitante, mais d\u00e9j\u00e0 tr\u00e8s prometteuse. Ainsi, l\u2019instrument n\u2019a aucun d\u00e9faut majeur. Seul un \u0153il attentif pourrait y d\u00e9celer l\u2019incertitude et le geste lent de l\u2019apprenti : un filet qui pr\u00e9sente quelques irr\u00e9gularit\u00e9s et nage parfois dans la mortaise au niveau des courbes, des coins pas tout \u00e0 fait identiques, une t\u00eate qui manque un peu de creusage &#8211; autant de caract\u00e9ristiques propres \u00e0 un travail de jeunesse mais qui laissent d\u00e9j\u00e0 transpara\u00eetre le talent pr\u00e9coce de Pierre Hel. Tr\u00e8s rares sont les premiers instruments de grands ma\u00eetres parvenus jusqu&#8217;\u00e0 nous &#8211; encore moins les num\u00e9ros 1 &#8211; et ce mod\u00e8le, porteur d\u2019une grande charge \u00e9motionnelle, est particuli\u00e8rement int\u00e9ressant puisqu\u2019il nous parle non pas d\u2019un, mais de deux luthiers, et cristallise le transfert de savoir-faire entre le p\u00e8re et son fils, peu de temps avant la mort de Joseph.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-20 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/41-2021-12-02-quatuor-0474-4-violon-hel-joseph-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1231\" height=\"1846\" data-id=\"20217\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/41-2021-12-02-quatuor-0474-4-violon-hel-joseph-1.jpg\" alt=\"Violon de Joseph HEL Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 2 d\u00e9cembre 2021 \u00a9 C.

Il est comme le point d\u2019orgue de sa vie, un testament laiss\u00e9 inachev\u00e9, lui donnant un charme tout particulier. En effet, l\u2019instrument qui n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 verni est \u00e9vocateur d\u2019une vie suspendue et, rien qu\u2019en cela, est un document historique d\u2019une grande valeur. Il nous offre un t\u00e9moignage sensible et intimiste de la fin de vie du luthier, de la perfection de sa technique et de l\u2019excellence qu\u2019il avait atteint au paroxysme de sa carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Il est \u00e0 plus d\u2019un titre pr\u00e9cieux puisqu\u2019il nous renseigne sur la production d\u2019instruments de Pierre Hel sur le plan quantitatif, avec son num\u00e9ro 494, sans doute l\u2019ultime&#8230; Enfin, son \u00e9tiquette &#8211; et surtout ses signatures &#8211; sont ici charg\u00e9es d\u2019une dimension suppl\u00e9mentaire : elles comptent parmi les derni\u00e8res traces laiss\u00e9es par sa main\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outre son importance historique, ce violoncelle est l\u2019un des rares exemplaires connus dans la production de Pierre Hel, ce dernier ayant essentiellement fabriqu\u00e9 des violons. A la toute fin de sa vie, le luthier choisit ainsi de se confronter \u00e0 nouveau \u00e0 la r\u00e9alisation d\u2019un violoncelle &#8211; un travail plus important mobilisant le savoir-faire de toute une vie et \u00e9clatant ici comme un testament artistique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-5 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-25 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/52-2023-06-01-quatuor-1575-18-violoncelle-hel-pierre-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"20239\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/52-2023-06-01-quatuor-1575-18-violoncelle-hel-pierre-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Violoncelle de Pierre HEL non verni Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 1er juin 2023 \u00a9 C.

It lasted five years, until 1861. He subsequently worked in many important workshops of the time. He was at Didier Poirot\u2019s, the organ builder and inventor of the industrial moulded violin process, from March to April 1861; then in the workshop of Grandjon J. Fils from April to May 1861; and finally in the workshop of Laberte Humbert from November 1861 to May 1862. He was eventually drawn to the capital and, in 1862, he joined the workshop of S\u00e9bastien Vuillaume, which he would eventually leave for that of E. Henry-J. Martin. Finally, his wanderings lead him to Aix-la-Chapelle, at Nicolas Darche\u2019s, for whom he worked in 1864, before deciding to return to Mirecourt and rejoin the workshop of Laberte Humbert. [1] Of of all these experiences, the one at Nicolas Darche was the one that influenced him the most during the first part of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a id=\"_ftn1\" href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Aude Cordonnier (dir.), <em>La collection Hel, Instruments de musique anciens r\u00e9unis par deux luthiers lillois<\/em>, exhibition catalogue, 2 December 1989 \u2013 2 April 1990, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Hospice Comtesse, Lille, 1990<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Of all the workshops he worked at, the one that had the most impact on his style was that of Darche in Aix-la-Chapelle. Whether in the Strad model used, the varnish, the internal construction, or the workmanship, the instruments of his first period were heavily influenced by this workshop.<\/p>\n<cite>Interview with Jonathan Marolle, violin maker and string quartet instrument<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It is particularly noticeable that the first instruments by Joseph Hel are distinguishable from the rest of his production by their very dark varnish, of a brown-violet tint, which is similar to that of Nicolas Darche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The instruments of the first period also bear an iron brand forming a circular arc, with the inscription \u201cJ. HEL\u201d and including the first addresses of the workshop. These brands were usually placed on the heel and on the blocks inside the instrument. The circular arc brand was used at least until the end of the 1870s, before being replaced by a straight shape one. It is worth noting that Joseph Hel almost always signed his instruments, on the inside front and back, with a beautiful signature in ink, and included the year of production, the instrument number and the address of the workshop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-34 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/01-debaene-joseph-hel-huile-1897-beaux-arts-lille-copyright-rmn-thierry-le-mage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2498\" height=\"2058\" data-id=\"20261\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/01-debaene-joseph-hel-huile-1897-beaux-arts-lille-copyright-rmn-thierry-le-mage.jpg\" alt=\"A.J.

The number of instruments produced is estimated at around 650-700, including violins, violas, cellos and basses. Joseph Hel was also a very good restorer, mainly of Italian instruments, which in turn influenced his own making. As an important collector, he also sold various old and contemporary instruments from the French, Italian and German schools. In addition to instruments entirely by his hand, Maison Hel offered a second grade of workshop instruments, bearing a printed \u201cModern Stradivarius\u201d label.

Instead, he broke away from the old tradition and followed the more modern style of violin making of the late 19th and early 20th century. In doing so he carried out various experiments and, in particular, invented a system of cello endpins in 1878 and peg mounts, making it possible \u201cto tune the strings without jumps and to keep them more in tune\u201d<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>, for which he applied for a patent on 6 July 1886. Joseph Hel&#8217;s instruments were particularly famous for their sound quality, which was the fruit of long research and a process of aging wood without fire or acid, developed by the maker himself. He abandoned his early brown varnishes during his second period, in favour of lighter \/ less dark and rather thick varnish. The beautiful violin from 1885 in the sale of 1 June 2023, bearing the number 133, shows how much his varnish from that time had become lighter in colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=20269&amp;action=edit#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Aude Cordonnier (dir.), <em>La collection Hel, Instruments de musique anciens r\u00e9unis par deux luthiers lillois<\/em>, exhibition catalogue, 2 December 1989 \u2013 2 April 1990, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Hospice Comtesse, Lille, 1990, p.19<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-5 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-39 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/08-2023-06-01-quatuor-1575-39-violon-hel-joseph-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"20151\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/08-2023-06-01-quatuor-1575-39-violon-hel-joseph-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Violon de Joseph HEL Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 1er juin 2023 \u00a9 C.

In addition, the fluting at the edges is wide and flat, the edges quite thick and slightly rounded.&#8221;<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Another of Joseph Hel&#8217;s original characteristics was that he was ambidextrous and used his left and right hands respectively to cut the left and right sides of his instruments (ibid). The three violins in the sale on 1 June 2023, dated 1885, 1891 and 1895, are fine examples of this, and include a rare 3\/4 violin.<br>The general appearance of these violins is rather square, with work of fine quality, quite straight f-holes and very curved f-hole tabs. They feature fine purfling, which was inserted close to the edge. As collector and dealer of old instruments, his favourite model was that of Stradivari, as evidenced by these three violins. Indeed, we know of few instruments by his hand after Guarneri, although his last known violin, made shortly before his death in 1902 and numbered 642, is an exception.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a id=\"_ftn1\" href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Sophie Huguet, <em>Fabrication d\u2019un violoncelle d\u2019apres un modele de Joseph Hel<\/em>, University paper for the Dipl\u00f4me des M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art.

18, Pierre, Joseph&#8217;s son, took over the workshop upon the death of his father in 1902. He completed his apprenticeship with Gustave Bazin and quickly won major prizes at the Universal Exhibition of Saint -Louis in 1904 and that of Milan in 1906. Under his direction, Maison Hel continued to make, restore and trade old instruments, as well as unvarnished ones from Mirecourt, which were finished in the workshop. Like his father, Pierre Hel was luthier of the Lille Conservatoire, but also of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. In 1910, in order to expand, the workshop moved to 76 Boulevard de la Libert\u00e9, still in Lille. His talent and reputation earned him a place as a jury member at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1911. <br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Throughout his career, his instruments were praised for their technical aspects and their perfect tone and, in 1927, two of his violins were awarded prizes for their sound at the International Music Exhibition in Geneva. To meet the growing demand, Pierre Hel called on L\u00e9on Mougenot and Laberte Humbert, and employed several important makers, such as Oliver Marissal and Marcel Demey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-44 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/25-etiquette-catalogue-instruments-pierre-hel-1910-archives-vichy-encheres.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"302\" height=\"89\" data-id=\"20185\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/25-etiquette-catalogue-instruments-pierre-hel-1910-archives-vichy-encheres.jpg\" alt=\"Etiquette ajout\u00e9e sur le catalogue d'instruments anciens de Pierre Hel, Lille, Imp.

Pierre Hel was also very close to Eug\u00e8ne Ysaye, Robert Hecquet, Jacques Thibaud and even St\u00e9phane Grappelli.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The violin of St\u00e9phane Grappelli made by Pierre Hel is now kept at the Mus\u00e9e de la Musique in Paris and was recently loaned to Mathias L\u00e9vy for the recording of his compositions. Upon the death of Pierre Hel in 1937, the workshop carried on under the direction of his widow and of Marcel Demey, the employee of the first hour and faithful colleague of Pierre Hel for over 40 years, before he set up on his own in 1943, forcing the closure of the Hel workshop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-5 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-46 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/31-recu-enesco-violon-pierre-hel-n372-1931.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"379\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"20197\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/31-recu-enesco-violon-pierre-hel-n372-1931.jpg\" alt=\"Re\u00e7u de Georges Enesco pour un violon de Pierre Hel n\u00b0372 en 1931\" class=\"wp-image-20197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/31-recu-enesco-violon-pierre-hel-n372-1931.jpg 379w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/31-recu-enesco-violon-pierre-hel-n372-1931-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/31-recu-enesco-violon-pierre-hel-n372-1931-76x100.jpg 76w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Re\u00e7u de Georges Enesco pour un violon de Pierre Hel n\u00b0372 en 1931<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32-portrait-georges-enescu.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"660\" data-id=\"20199\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32-portrait-georges-enescu.jpg\" alt=\"Georges Enesco\" class=\"wp-image-20199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32-portrait-georges-enescu.jpg 566w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32-portrait-georges-enescu-257x300.jpg 257w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32-portrait-georges-enescu-86x100.jpg 86w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Georges Enesco <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/33-portrait-eugene-ysaye.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"319\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"20201\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/33-portrait-eugene-ysaye.jpg\" alt=\"Eug\u00e8ne Ysaye\" class=\"wp-image-20201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/33-portrait-eugene-ysaye.jpg 319w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/33-portrait-eugene-ysaye-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/33-portrait-eugene-ysaye-66x100.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Eug\u00e8ne Ysaye<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/34-pierre-hel-violon-ex-grappelli-1924-musee-musique-paris-copyright-angles.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"1442\" data-id=\"20203\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/34-pierre-hel-violon-ex-grappelli-1924-musee-musique-paris-copyright-angles.jpg\" alt=\"Pierre Hel, Violon EX Grappelli, 1924, Mus\u00e9e de la Musique, Paris, \u00a9 J.M.

Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 1er juin 2023. \u00a9 C. Darbelet<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Undoubtedly, Pierre Hel started to assist his father towards the end of the century, as this workshop violin from 1899 demonstrates. This instrument is Pierre Hel&#8217;s very first numbered example. It was made when the maker was only 15 years old. It is therefore an absolutely exceptional piece from a historical point of view, which offers a unique insight into the beginning of Pierre Hel&#8217;s career and the transfer of knowledge between father and son. It bears the number 1, as well as the maker&#8217;s label and signature. This instrument demonstrates the great influence Joseph Hel had on the work of his son\u2019s first period, which is particularly perceptible in the varnish, the model and the work on the head. Indeed, when comparing it to the violins of Joseph Hel\u2019s last period, we notice that the varnishes are the same with both makers, of rather plasticky appearance, quite thick and without much texture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This first instrument is historically very interesting, since it denotes a hand that is certainly that of a beginner, hesitating at times, but which already shows great promise. The instrument has no major flaws. Only an expert eye could notice the hesitation and the slow hand of the apprentice: a purfling that displays some irregularities, a purfling channel a little too wide in the curves at times, corners that are not quite identical, a head requiring a little more gouging \u2013 so many characteristics that point to a work of youth, but which already reveal the precocious talent of Pierre Hel. Very early instruments of great masters that have survived are very rare \u2013 even less so the first ones \u2013 and this example, which carries great sentimental value, is particularly interesting since it reveals to us not one, but two makers, and embodies the transfer of knowledge between father and son, shortly before Joseph&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-48 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/41-2021-12-02-quatuor-0474-4-violon-hel-joseph-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1231\" height=\"1846\" data-id=\"20217\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/41-2021-12-02-quatuor-0474-4-violon-hel-joseph-1.jpg\" alt=\"Violon de Joseph HEL Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 2 d\u00e9cembre 2021 \u00a9 C.

This was his most successful period, when his instruments were played by the greatest virtuosos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:15px\">\n<p>\u201cHe also created original models, carrying out many experiments and implementing structural changes in order to affect the tone and projection and provide the greatest ease of play. One instrument that was the fruit of such experiments is the violin bought by Georges Enesco in 1923, so greatly appreciated by critics for its sound qualities.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Aude Cordonnier (dir.), <em>La collection Hel, Instruments de musique anciens r\u00e9unis par deux luthiers lillois<\/em>, exhibition catalogue, 2 December 1989 \u2013 2 April 1990, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Hospice Comtesse, Lille, 1990, p.19<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike his father, Pierre Hel really sought to design his own model, which is characterized by its much more open arches and shorter corners, with purfling positioned further from the edge. The heads of his instruments also became very personal, with a comma starting quite high and highlighted by a beautiful clearance. The Hel workshop\u2019s backstock includes a beautiful violin of 1932 typical of this style and period, during which he worked for the greatest soloists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-50 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"831\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"20225\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/45-maison-hel-violon-modele-santo-seraphino-archives-vichy-encheres-831x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Maison Joseph Hel, Pierre Hel Fils, Re\u00e7u pour un violon de Pierre Hel en mod\u00e8le Santo S\u00e9raphino de 1904, Archives Vichy Ench\u00e8res\" class=\"wp-image-20225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/45-maison-hel-violon-modele-santo-seraphino-archives-vichy-encheres-831x1024.jpg 831w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/45-maison-hel-violon-modele-santo-seraphino-archives-vichy-encheres-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/45-maison-hel-violon-modele-santo-seraphino-archives-vichy-encheres-768x946.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/45-maison-hel-violon-modele-santo-seraphino-archives-vichy-encheres-81x100.jpg 81w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/45-maison-hel-violon-modele-santo-seraphino-archives-vichy-encheres.jpg 1231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Maison Joseph Hel, Pierre Hel Fils, Re\u00e7u pour un violon de Pierre Hel en mod\u00e8le Santo S\u00e9raphino de 1904, Archives Vichy Ench\u00e8res<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-5 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-51 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/46-2023-06-01-quatuor-1575-40-violon-hel-pierre-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"20227\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/46-2023-06-01-quatuor-1575-40-violon-hel-pierre-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Violon de Pierre HEL Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 1er juin 2023 \u00a9 C.

This last instrument is a remarkable cello, made in 1937, in his very last period shortly before his death. It represents the high point of his life, a testament left unfinished, giving it a very special charm. Indeed, the instrument, which has not been varnished, attests to a life interrupted and, for that reason alone, is a historical artefact of great value. It provides us with a emotional and intimate portrait of the end of the maker&#8217;s life, the perfection of his technique and the excellence he achieved at the height of his powers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It is precious in many ways, not least because it informs us of the number of instruments Pierre Hel&#8217;s made in his lifetime: this cello, number 494, was undoubtedly his last one\u2026 Finally, its label &#8211; and especially the signatures on it &#8211; are amongst the last marks left by his hand, giving the instrument even more significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to its historical importance, this instrument is one of the few known examples of cellos in the production of Pierre Hel, as he mostly made violins. At the very end of his life, the maker therefore would have chosen to tackle once more the making of a cello \u2013 a huge task requiring the experience of a lifetime, left as legacy of his artistic talent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-5 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-53 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/52-2023-06-01-quatuor-1575-18-violoncelle-hel-pierre-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"20239\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/52-2023-06-01-quatuor-1575-18-violoncelle-hel-pierre-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Violoncelle de Pierre HEL non verni Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 1er juin 2023 \u00a9 C.
