About the Item
Large 17th Century Italian Old Master, The Garden - Noli me tangere, Pier Francesco Cittadini (attr.)
Description
In the stillness of a garden in bloom, Noli me tangere captures a powerful moment of recognition, quiet and full of possibility. This exquisite composition depicts the poignant encounter between Christ and Mary Magdalene, set amid a lush garland of vibrant flowers. The garden setting is not only a beautiful backdrop but also a symbol of renewal and hope, reminding us of the beauty that will emerge even in times of uncertainty. The delicate detail of the floral garland, including the rare and now extinct Anemone Coccinea Coronaria, offers a beautiful echo of the flora of a bygone era, adding a rich botanical layer to this timeless scene.
About the Artist
Pier Francesco Cittadini (1616 to 1681) was a celebrated Baroque painter from Bologna whose work bridges the richness of Venetian color with emotional depth and dynamic realism. Trained in the artistic centers of Venice and Rome, Cittadini’s style is marked by dramatic lighting and a theatrical sense of composition, drawing inspiration from masters like Titian and Tintoretto. His paintings are held in high esteem internationally, featured in prestigious collections such as The Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, The Louvre in Paris, The Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, and The National Gallery of Canada.
Provenance
Distinguished private collection in France.
Dimensions
The oil on canvas, measures approximately 81 by 103 cm, with the frame ca. 111 by 130 cm.
What Makes This Piece Unique
The painting’s Louis XIV frame is a work of art in its own right, delicately sculpted with floral decorations that echo the lush garland within the composition, creating a harmonious connection between the frame and the scene it encloses. Additionally, the inclusion of the rare Anemone Coccinea Coronaria, a flower once cultivated in the 17th century and now extinct, adds an exceptional botanical significance. This combination of emotional depth, artistic mastery, and botanical rarity makes The Garden Noli me tangere a truly unique and timeless treasure.

17th century German portrait of the wine merchant Caspar Roemerskirchen
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. His ice blue eyes appear to be shimmering with a life-like quality. After extensive archival research, we were able to discover that our sitter was a wine merchant; what joyous stories he must have to tell!
