About the Item

Virgin with Child & St John, late 16th c. Florentine school Late 16th c. Florentine school Virgin with Child and St John the Baptiste Oil on white marble, h. 41,5 cm, w. 32 cm 17th Louis XIV carved giltwood frame Framed: h. 53 cm, w. 43 cm Seated on the ground in a hilly landscape with a blazing sky, the Virgin is dressed in a pink shirt over a yellow blouse and a dark green-blue skirt. As a sign of humility, she is not wearing shoes and her bare foot can be seen under the folds of her skirt. She holds Jesus on her knees, embracing him with her right arm. The Virgin's face, full of gentleness and dignity, shows that she already agrees to sacrifice her only son. To the right of the composition stands the little Saint John the Baptist, dressed in camel skin, recalling his future life of penance and preaching in the desert. In his left hand he holds his attribute, the reed cross, which he presents to Christ .prefiguring the Passion of Jesus. He points with the index finger of his right hand to the child who is watching him attentively, while Saint John, full of melancholy, turns his gaze to the left. Our anonymous artist from the Florentine school is inspired by the works of Andrea del Sarto (Florence, 1486-1530), the figures of the Virgin and Jesus are borrowed from "The Holy Family" preserved in the Louvre (inv. 1515), while the figure of Saint John the Baptist is partly taken from the Corsini Madonna, the original of which is lost, but a copy is preserved in the Lord Egremont Collection at Petworth House, West Sussex (Duke of Buckingham Collection). Our work is original in that it is painted in oil on a white marble slab. Marble as a painting medium was considered eternal, unlike wood or canvas, and enjoyed great popularity in Italy from the mid-16th century onwards, with some regions devoting themselves more to slate, such as Verona and Venice, and Florentine and Romanesque painters turning to marble, alabaster, paesine stone and hard stones.

Rest on the Flight into Egypt - Attributed to Pieter Van Avont - 17th c. Flemish

By Pieter van Avont

Located in PARIS, FR

Rest during the Flight into Egypt - The Virgin and Child with St. John the Baptist and the angels in a Landscape. Attributed to Pieter Van Avont (1600-1652) 17th century Antwerp School, circa 1630 Oil on oak panel, Dimensions: h. 38 cm, w. 50 cm (14.96 in x 19.68 in) Flemish style frame in ebonized and moulded wood Framed: h. 56 cm, w. 68.5 cm (22.04 in. x 26.97 in.) In the heart of a lush wooded landscape, the Virgin with Jesus rests in a green clearing accompanied by Saint John the Baptist and the cherubs. Seated to the left of the composition, the Virgin Mary holds the Child on her lap; the little Saint John the Baptist wearing the camel-skin tunic (his attribute) stands before Jesus to exchange a few caresses. On the right, the couple of cherubs are playing with the lamb of Saint John the Baptist, bringing a jovial character to the scene. A pair of gardening putti on the left pick flowers to bring bouquets to the Virgin and Jesus. Spring flowers such as tulips, daffodils and anemones that grow abundantly around them and enrich the composition with their shimmering colors. A lush rose bush blooms to the left of the figures offering delicate roses. (The rose is the flower associated with the Virgin Mary, who is the "mystical rose," the one that does not bear the "thorn of sin") At the feet of the Virgin are bunches of grapes (symbol of the future passion of Christ) as well as apples (symbol of the original fall of Man but also of the Redemption in Christ) In the foreground we find a wicker basket filled in profusion with beautiful flowers and guinea pigs nibbling on the blades of grass. In a cleverly arranged disorder, these elements of the still life with their strong symbolic power accentuate the religious theme, but are also an opportunity for the artist to demonstrate his know-how in the still life genre that is gaining momentum in Antwerp. The landscape behind the figures consists of a large tree with a twisted trunk and a luminous opening to the horizon placed on the right. We see Saint Joseph arriving with a donkey, a small reminder from the artist that the composition is associated with the episode of Rest during the flight into Egypt. The calm expanse of this bucolic forest opening onto the luminous distance, with its profusion of symbolic flowers and fruits, is particularly suited to this sacred scene. The theme of Jesus' sacrifice and his tragic fate is mitigated by cherubs who play with innocence and carelessness in the face of the fragility of life symbolized by cut flowers. The great mastery of the painter is manifested by the finesse of the drawing enhanced by the delicacy in the application of the brushstrokes bringing a multitude of details. The richness of the whole is exacerbated thanks to the choice of colours, this varied palette is an undeniable asset of our work. The virtuosity of our artist lies in his versatility, as much concerned with the success of the landscape and flowers as with the modelling of his figures. The cherubs with their naked bodies are gracefully illuminated by warm colours with subtle shadows, while the still life is rendered with astonishing realism, both in the precision of the drawing and in the countless shades of the flowers. There are several compositions similar to ours, of which below are the closest versions: • Sale, Jean-Claude Anaf et Associés, Lyon, 08/02/1998, attributed to Pieter Van Avont, oil on panel, h. 48 cm, l. 71 cm (recorded on RKD n° 31451).

Virgin and Child with the Infant Saint John

By Domenico Puligo

Located in New Orleans, LA

A masterful example of Italian Mannerist painting, this exceptional panel was composed by the renowned Florentine painter Domenico Puligo. Alongside Jacopo Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino, Puligo is remembered as one of the foremost figures of the Mannerist movement that rose to prominence during the 16th century in Florence. This panel of the Virgin Mary with the Christ child and Saint John the Baptist is a characteristic example of his celebrated devotional images, which grace museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Museo del Prado (Madrid), Palazzo Borghese (Rome), and Palazzo Pitti (Florence), among many others. Puligo’s skill with color is fully demonstrated in the beautifully preserved work. Considering its age, the vibrancy and the sheer range of color is remarkable. The Virgin Mary’s crimson dress...
