Icon of THE KORSUN VIRGIN (KORSUNSKAYA), egg tempera, and gold leave on gesso, over a piece of wood. Dimensions: (H) 26.5 x (W) 23.5 x (D) 3 cm. Also called The Holy Virgin of Tenderness, represents the Mother of God and infant Christ in a tender cheek-to-cheek embrace. The Virgin's hands tenderly surround the head and hands of the Child Jesus while he takes the cloak of the Mother of God with his left hand and plays with the fingers of his right hand, between his mother's neck and his own. Two very old icons, from the 12th and 13th Centuries, painted on the same theme, are respectively in the Uspenskii Cathedral in Moscow and in the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. This is how the artist sums up the technique used by him to create the icon: “The aim of these steps is to create a durable painting. The icon is eternal. The first step is to choose a support, traditionally made of wood, from the center of the trunk to avoid warping it. For this purpose, two hardwood bolts were often used on the back to give the picture panel additional stability. Often a frame is milled out. Then the image carrier is sanded smooth and now 12 or 14 thin layers of gesso are applied and sanded smooth as well. Then the preliminary drawing is applied and the drawing board is prepared with a special preparation called bolus. This bolus can be polished to a high gloss. Afterward, the gold leaf is "shot" with special brushes. It dries up within a few hours and can now be polished with agate. Gold leaf is real 24-carat gold. Now, the actual process of painting begins. Egg tempera is made fresh from egg yolk, water and a little vinegar. This is used to prepare the color pigments. Tempera painting is done in numerous layers from dark to light. When the icon is finished, it is left to dry for a few months and varnished with a special varnish called Olifa made from boiled linseed oil and other ingredients”.

SOLARIS 40" x 60", $13,000 About the Series: For Dray, Philosophy deals in the abstract and abstraction is an indispensable tool in art and culture. Through his paintings, he reasserts that abstraction has been a part of humanity, all cultures in all ages. It’s an indispensable tool, as we create symbols, vessels to fill with allusions and messages. The resulting artwork have a strong sense of purpose. Each painting contains hundreds of hand coloured trapezoid shapes, hand drawn with a sharp blade onto silver or gold leaf. Each coloured shape can be interpreted to represent an ‘atomic’ element. On its own a block of colour is insignificant but seen as part of a whole it becomes dynamic and alive reflecting on how nature works. The phenomena of light is also important to the work. The light of the sun in a room illuminates and reflects off the paintings as they come alive and change through time. About the Artist: Benjamin Dray is an artist based in Sydney, Australia. He completed his formal art education in Australia and has painted continuously for the last 30 years living and working in his studio home on Scotland Island...

Halte de chasseurs (The Hunters’ Rest) is a 19th-century French animal and sporting oil painting attributed to Alfred de Dreux (1810–1860). Two huntsmen in red coats pause with their horses and hounds beside a green signpost in a wooded landscape. One rider remains mounted while his companion stands beside a dark saddled horse. The dogs gather at the lower left, drawing the eye into the scene. Red coats, warm earth tones and dark foliage contrast with a luminous opening in the clouded sky. The vertical composition combines the intimacy of a hunting group with the atmosphere of a woodland landscape. Alfred de Dreux was a French painter known for equestrian and animal subjects; works by him are held in the Louvre. The gallery offers this unsigned painting as attributed to the artist; it was previously catalogued by Artcurial as French School, after de Dreux. Oil on canvas. Canvas: approximately H 46 × W 38 cm (18.11 × 14.96 in). Overall with frame: H 62 × W 54 × D 7 cm (24.41 × 21.26 × 2.76 in). Cleaned and restored, and described by the gallery as being in very good condition. The painting is presented in the ornate gilt frame illustrated, with floral and scrolling ornament that complements the warm palette. Provenance: anonymous sale, Christie’s, Paris, 12 October 2012, lot 317; private collection, Paris. Illustrated in the sale catalogue on page 90. Artcurial identifies the composition’s source as a lithograph by de Dreux from 1838–1844, reproduced in M.-Chr. Renauld’s Alfred de Dreux (2008), p. 104. A decorative focal point for a study, library or country-house interior, with particular appeal to collectors of antique animal paintings...
