About the Item

Saint Anthony The Abbot In A Natural Landscape. Flemish School, Late 16th - Early 17th Century Technique: Oil on panel Period: late 16th - Early 17th Century School: Flemish Dimensions without frame: 33.6 x 33.6 cm Dimensions with frame: 23.3 x 23.3 cm The painting depicts Saint Anthony the Abbot, recognizable by the tau-shaped staff, the book, and the pig at his side, placed within a richly detailed landscape typical of Flemish Mannerism. The meticulous rendering of each element - rocks, vegetation, animals, distant buildings - reflects the Flemish painters' attentive observation of the natural world. In Flemish painting of this period, nature is not merely a backdrop but a space charged with spirituality. The precise depiction of its elements contributes to a contemplative and almost magical atmosphere, where nature is seen as a visible manifestation of the divine. Within this vision, the solitary figure of Saint Anthony embodies the harmony between man, faith, and the natural world. St. Anthony the Abbot is traditionally regarded as the patron saint of domestic animals, farmers, butchers, and those suffering from shingles (known as "St. Anthony the Abbot"). Anthony's fire").

The Conversation II
Located in Greenwich, CT
Signed lower left Elizabeth Higgins (Canadian, b. 1960) Elizabeth Higgins describes herself as an abstract figurative and landscape painter. Everything around her serves as a potential subject, an inspiration to begin a painting. Fidelity to the landscape, the figure, or the still life is relative, as she isn’t interested in literal depictions; instead, it’s the abstract relationships of these shapes and colors, the abstract pictorial design that drives her work. Higgins’ paintings are rooted in the tradition stemming from Courbet, Derain, Bonnard, Matisse, Morandi, German Expressionism, and the Canadian Group of Seven (also known as the Algonquin School of landscape painters, 1920–1933). She is influenced by the work of her artist-teachers Paul Resika—himself a student of Hans Hofmann—and Robert De Niro, Sr. (1922-1993), as well as the paintings of contemporary artist Peter Doig. Her artistic evolution stretches across this continuum. It is the “in-between”, the hovering between representation and abstraction, that interests her, not the labeling effect of details; instead, she aims directly at the spirit of the painting—of making something come to life. John Goodrich wrote in her catalog essay, “Elizabeth Higgins’ direct brushwork and simplified forms suggest an energy, but crucially, reveal a painter who knows the power of color…” Elizabeth Higgins was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1960. As a Helena...
