Holy Woman, after Quentin Matsys penitent Saint Magdalene master copy1952
1952
About the Item
A stunning copy of the Northern Renaissance masterpiece "Maddalena Dolente" by Quentin Matsys (1466-1530) which is in the collection of the Gemäldegalerie Berlin. Beautifully executed, it pas painted on a wooden panel that was carefully parqueted.
Matsys was a native of Leuven with humble beginnings as an ironsmith. One of four children, he was born sometime between 4 April and 10 September 1466. Legend states that Matsys abandoned his career as a blacksmith to woo his wife, who found painting to be a more romantic profession, though Karel van Mander claimed this to be false, and the real reason was a sickness during which he was too weak to work at the smithy and instead decorated prints for the carnival celebrations. You will certainly know his "Grotesque Old Woman" (or The Ugly Duchess) in the National Gallery, which is perhaps the best-known of his works. It served as a basis for John Tenniel's depiction of the Duchess in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Here is a tender, gentler but equally poignant depiction of the penitent Mary Magdalene.
The painting was signed by a gifted artist who I have not been able to identify. It is indistinctly signed at the lower right (Roger or Alger), and dated (19)52.
Measuring 25 x 20 cm , the overall framed size is 34 x 29 cm.

View AllA young poet or artist, French Romantic period portrait of a sensitive figure
Located in Norwich, GB
You will find this young man good company! It is a pleasure to study his thoughtful, sensitive face. He has a benevolent and real presence. To my mind, he certainly has an artistic nature - he looks like a thinker, poet and/or musician.
Dating from what the French call the Romantic Period, the early 1800s, our painting is monogrammed AG and may be attributed to Auguste Glaize.
Born in Montpellier, Auguste Glaize studied under the painters Achille Devéria and Eugène Devéria.
He came to be one of the great French Romantic painters of the early 19th century, marking his career with important history paintings and cycles of monumental religious...
