About the Item

The Agony in the Garden. (Christ on the Mount of Olives). Technique: Oil on Panel, 4 wooden boards, not parqueted. Dim. with frame: 78cm x 67cm Dim. without frame: 52 x 62 cm German school of XVI century. Style: Nordic Renaissance. In good condition. Bears an inscription on the back. Very rare original XVI century wooden frame, where the wooden panel is inserted with an ingenious joints inside the frame. In the photos you can see the XVI century original wooden nails blocking the frame. This German Renaissance painting preserves the most archaic, late Gothic tradition, which pushes the painter to tell a detailed story, almost as if it were a fairy tale, with fictionalized details. The painting illustrates various episodes that precede the capture of Christ: in the foreground the three apostles asleep in the garden of Gethsemane next to the praying Jesus. The Agony in the Garden is a painting that takes elements from all four Gospel accounts. We see the angel comforting Christ from Luke (22:43), the three sleeping apostles from Mark’s and Matthew’s accounts, and in the far right, Judas leading a band with flaming torches, a detail only found in John 18:3. Jesus' hands touch the clouds with a angel holding a chalice, an allusion to Christ's future sufferings. In the background, a group of soldiers, dressed in the manner of the 16th century, follow the traitor Judas, who reveals the place where Christ is. The painter focuses on the grotesque-looking soldiers in contemporary dress (one with a striking scorpion on his shield). The details of the soldiers' clothing are very detailed and help in determining the age of painting. The painter focuses on the weapons, this remembers us the Landskneks and the armies and wars of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. In the distance you can glimpse a representation of the city, understood as Jerusalem but which has an obvious resemblance to Nordic, more precisely German, architecture. Condition report: cleaning and some not invasive restaurations. This precious XVI century painting will be shipped with insurance and professional packaging.

  • 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.
