Maestro active in Naples in the 16th century
16th Century by Neapolitan Maestro Vision of Saint John in Patmos Oil on Panel

16th Century

About the Item

Without frame. Expertise by Prof. Antonio Vannugli A brightly lit gash opens up in the middle of the sky; within it appears the figure of the Virgin with the Child and beside her a monstrous winged dragon with seven heads who, menacingly, addresses the sacred apparition. The painting depicts St. John the Evangelist who is writing the book of Revelation while exiled on the Greek island of Patmos. While there he receives a vision of the mulier amicta solis. The painting focuses on the figure of the Apostle who is depicted dressed in green and red as iconographic tradition dictates; at his feet the eagle, his symbol. This valuable artwork has been attributed by critics to the hand of an unknown Neapolitan master active in the 16th century.

  • Dutch School, 17th Century, Shipping in a Stiff Breeze, a City Beyond
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    We are delighted to present a significant piece from the Dutch School, most likely dating back to the late 17th century. This captivating painting showcases the dynamic force of nature with three ships vigorously navigating through stormy waters. The foreground is a scene of nautical struggle, as figures are depicted working intensely with the sails, steering, and bracing against the tumultuous sea. In the serene background, the silhouette of a quaint town emerges, with spires from churches and the outlines of various buildings is visible. This juxtaposition of the calm town against the chaotic foreground serves as a powerful reminder of the unpredictability of life and nature. Dominating the canvas, the sky occupies two-thirds of the painting, filled with brooding clouds that occasionally break to reveal patches of blue. The presence of birds adds a dynamic element to the otherwise ominous atmosphere. While the artist remains unknown, the work is quintessentially Dutch in its execution, with meticulous attention to detail and a profound understanding of maritime life. The painting's oval shape is quite distinctive and is complemented by a suitably antique octagonal black frame, which adds to its historical charm. This piece is a testament to the mastery of Dutch maritime painting...
