About the Item

17th century Italian Old master painting "Adoration of the Shepherds" This exquisite and confidently painted bozzetto was most likely a sketch for a much larger painting. The Adoration of the Magi holds profound significance beyond the biblical narrative. It represents the universal acceptance of Jesus, bridging cultural and religious divides. The wise men, coming from different backgrounds, symbolize the idea that the message of Christ transcends boundaries, emphasizing the inclusivity of his teachings. Artists often imbue this scene with layers of symbolism, exploring themes of faith, humility, and the revelation of divinity to humanity. Bernardo Strozzi, born in Genoa around 1581, was a prominent Baroque painter known for his captivating use of light and shadow, which infused his artworks with a sense of drama and intensity. He initially trained in the workshop of Alessandro Capriata, absorbing elements of the Venetian and Lombard artistic styles. Strozzi's paintings often depicted religious and mythological subjects, and he was particularly adept at capturing the emotional depth of his subjects. What set Strozzi apart was his ability to create dynamic compositions, using bold contrasts and vibrant colors to evoke powerful emotions in viewers. His mastery of chiaroscuro (the use of strong contrasts between light and dark) allowed him to create dramatic and atmospheric effects in his paintings. Strozzi's career took him through Venice, where he was influenced by the works of artists like Titian and Tintoretto, and eventually to Rome, where he absorbed the influence of Caravaggio's revolutionary use of light and shadow. This fusion of styles led to Strozzi developing his own unique approach, blending the grandeur of Venetian art with the raw emotion and naturalism of Caravaggio's style. He gained recognition across Italy for his religious works, portraits, and allegorical paintings. Strozzi's legacy lies not only in his technical skill but also in his contribution to the Baroque movement, influencing future generations of artists with his expressive and emotionally charged works. Oil on canvas on plate measuring ca. 71 by 84 cms and with the frame ca. 91 by 104 cms. Provenance: Private collection Scandinavia

Located in Aartselaar, BE

17th century German portrait of the wine merchant Caspar Roemerskirchen at the age of 26 in 1628, Gottfried von Wedig also known as Gotthardt Wedig (attr.) This highly decorative portrait depicts the 26 year old Caspar Roemerskirchen, wearing an intricate jacket made of a luxurious black fabric, which is stiffened and shaped to perfectly fit his silhouette. It is adorned with an opulent collar, which at the time was a true status symbol, worn to emphasise the refined class and social status of the sitter. In his hands he is holding luxurious soft leather gloves. The vivid green drapery and table cloth add further vivacity to the portrait.
