Coronation of Venus

About the Item

The Coronation of Venus draws the viewer into a mystical forest where Venus, the goddess of love, is crowned by four angels. The angel of trust, on the left, gazes deeply into the eyes of Venus. Perseverance crowns her from above. Kindness is at her shoulder, and patience rests on her lap eager for guidance. As Venus looks into the distance, there is both joy and melancholy in her mysterious lips. Technical: 114” x 78”. Oil on panel with 24k gold water-gilded frame. Painting and frame produced by artists Justas and Vilius Varpucanskis.

  • 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.
