About the Item
Grass juice. The word Euterp appears in the lower right corner.
The huge grass juice depicts the nine Muses, Greek female deities, all sisters, as daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and having as their guide the god Apollo. They represented the supreme ideal of Art, understood as the truth of the "All" or the "eternal magnificence of the divine."
Initially loosely regarded as gods of song and juggling dances, deputed to set to music and verse stories such as the origin of the world, the birth of gods and men, and the exploits of Zeus, and depicted often accompanied by various musical instruments, from the Hellenistic era onward all singing and musical expressions including sad and funeral ones, and other arts such as theater were associated with them, and each of them was associated with a specific genre of art, so that they could be individually invoked to exercise their inspiration and protection.
The word "Euterp" refers to the name of one of them, precisely Euterpe, muse of lyric poetry and music, traditionally depicted with a flute; but the name Euterpe etymologically means "She who rejoices" who brings joy, and one can think therefore of the choice of such a name to holder the tapestry want to defer to the oldest function of the Muses, those of bringing joy through art.
In this presentation, the muses appear as they dance, decked out in veils and flowering vines; in their hands or laid beside them appear tools or other objects symbolic of the art they inspire (theatrical masks both tragic and comic, the pictorial palette, various musical instruments...).
THE large painting shows signs of wear and moisture stains.

Paesaggio con Figure, 1700s
By Antonio Francesco Peruzzini 1
Located in Milan, IT
Olio su tela.
La grande composizione propone un paesaggio che vede centrale un grande albero. a sormontare con le sue rade frasche la campagna sottostante, traversata da un corso d'acqua e animata da diverse figure di popolani intenti ad attività o a riposo; in alto a destra si erge una fortezza, che domina la vallata.
Già attribuito al marchigiano Peruzzini, il dipinto si può ricondurre senz'altro al suo ambito, per i tratti pittorici veloci e poco aggregati.
Antonio Francesco si specializzò nella pittura di paesaggio, subendo l'influenza di Salvator Rosa e di paesaggisti come Pietro Montanini...

knotted tapestry by 'De Stijl' artist Bart van der Leck (1876-1958)
Located in ZEIST, UT
knotted tapestry by 'De Stijl' artist Bart van der Leck (1876-1958) with important provenance
Bart van der Leck, together with Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg, is one of the founding members of the 'De Stijl' group in 1916-1917. At that time, Bart van der Leck's work had a major influence on the development of the work of Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg.
This carpet comes from and is used in the Villa Schöne-van der Leck in Blaricum. The villa Schöne-van der Leck was built in 1953 after a design by Piet J. Elling in collaboration with the artist Bart van der Leck. The clients, Mr. and Mrs. O. Schöne-Van der Leck, were Bart van der Leck's son-in-law and daughter, respectively. The villa Schöne-van der Leck has exceptional art-historical value because of the collaboration between the architect Elling and 'De Stijl' artist Bart van der Leck, resulting in a total work of art according to the principles of 'De Stijl', in which the various disciplines have equal value. contributed. The property has a rarity value due to the fact that very few such total works of art have been preserved according to the principles of 'De Stijl'; as far as we know, this is the only one by Elling and Van der Leck. The entire house was decorated in 'De Stijl' visual language. Bart van der Leck made interventions in various rooms by applying color areas on walls and ceilings in the 'De Stijl' colors red, yellow and blue...

Notes:
Mathieu Matégot was a Hungarian-born French designer, architect and artist. After studying at Budapest's School of Fine Arts in 1929, Matégot travelled across Italy and the USA until settling in Paris in 1931 where he worked as a set designer, window dresser and tapestry maker.
Matégot volunteered for the French resistance at the start of the Second World War, only to be captured by the Nazis. A dreadful fate for most, however, it was during his time as a prisoner of war that the artist discovered metalworking techniques (such as Rigitulle) which he later patented and became renowned for. Upon his release, Matégot was awarded French citizenship.
After the war, the artist's interest in tapestry was renewed after being introduced to contemporary tapestry revivalist, Jean Lurçat. However, in order to make ends meet, Matégot pursued furniture design; he established a workshop in Paris and dedicated his time to translating the groundbreaking metal techniques into popular handcrafted objects.
In 1959, Matégot abandoned furniture design and focused exclusively on his passion for abstract tapestries. He continued his work as a pioneer of French Modern tapestry...
