About the Item

Sacred Conversation: Madonna with child with St. John with idealized landscape background with mountains. Early XVI century. Oil on wooden panel of Venetian conifers. Marco Bello, attributed. (Venezia, 1470 - 1523, Udine), pupil and follower of Giovanni Bellini. Venetian school. Madonna with child with St. John with idealized landscape background with mountains. Dimentions: 57cm x 68cm x 6cm Beautiful late Renaissance frame with flowers and vegetal scrolls made in carved, gilt and polychrome wood. Horizontal composition with Saints on the first plan was elaborated by Venetian artist after Giovanni Bellini. St John holds a flag with a ribbon on which is written in Latin: "Ecce agnus ..", abbreviation of "Ecce Agnus dei" (this is the lamb of God). The composition rather represents a sacred conversation, where the characters are represented out of real time: Christ and Saint John are represented of very different ages, while the gospel tells us about age differences of a few months. So we are faced with an idealized and "metaphysical" vision, with the colors of the cold range that create an effect of abstraction. The painting certainly belongs to a precise area / artistic school: Veneto, mature Renaissance. But with a more provincial influence, which borders on the group of so-called "Venetian Madonnari". This group of paintings had a double characteristic: contact with refined Venetian painting and contacts with Greek painters, who brought Byzantine icon’s influences. Conditions: profetionally cleaned and restored, with few paint repaints in lower part ( St. John’s hand)

  • Moses Strikes the Water from the Rock. XVII cent. Dutch school.
    Located in Firenze, IT
    Moses Strikes Water from the Rock Dutch school, XVII century. Workshop of Jacob de Wet (Haarlem, 1610-1675). Technique: Oil on oak wood panel, composed of 3 horizontal panels. In this evocative work, Moses stands in a cave, gathering the Israelites. There was no water to drink or for their cattle. The people were discontented in the desert. But Moses and Aaron listened to the voice of God. With Aaron’s staff, Moses struck the rock, and water gushed forth abundantly, quenching their thirst. Jacob de Wet’s workshop specializes in subjects from the Old and New Testaments. The recognizable rectangular format, simple compositions, and clear narratives define his style. The interplay of light and shadow, reminiscent of Rembrandt, adds timeless allure. The characters’ costumes, with their large hats and turbans...

  • Fine Old Master Portrait, by Gillis Claeissens, Portrait of a Lady, 1580, Bruges
    By Gillis Claeissens
    Located in Greven, DE
    Gillis Claeissens Portrait of a Lady, probably "Anne Joigny-de Pamele" Oil on wood, 35,5 x 28 cm Gillis Claeissens has only recently been rediscovered as an important portrait painter of the 16th century. He received his training in the studio of his father, Pieter I Claeissens. Gillis became a freemaster of the St Luke's Guild in Brussels in 1566 and worked at the court of Alexander Farnese in Brussels between 1589 and 1592. Later he was also court painter to the Archdukes Albert and Isabella. After his return to Bruges, he created portraits of high Bruges society. It was only through the Forgotten Masters exhibition in Bruges in 2018 that the work of Gillis Claeissens was rediscovered. The present painting recently turned up in a private collection and was confirmed as a typical work by Claeissens by Mrs Oosterwijk at the Museum Groeninghe in Bruges. Gillis Claeissens or Egidius Claeissens (Bruges, 1526 – Bruges, 17 December 1605) was a Flemish painter of portraits and altarpieces and a member of a prominent family of artists originating in Bruges. It has only been possible to distinguish Gillis Claeissens' work from that of his father and siblings after scholars discovered a contract with the artist for the painting of a tryptich. It was further discovered in 2015 that he artist can be identified with the Monogrammist G.E.C. These discoveries have allowed to recognise Gillis Claeissens as an important portraitist alongside Pieter Pourbus in 16th century Bruges.
