The temptation of St Anthony. Oil on canvas. 17th c., after David Teniers II
Located in Madrid, ES
Temptations of San Antonio Abad. Oil on canvas. 17th century, following the model of David Teniers II (Antwerp, 1610-Brussels, 1690).
Oil on canvas showing a figurative scene located inside a cave. To the right, you can see a cross standing, supported; to the left, a hut; and in the center of the painting appears an elderly, bearded man, leaning on a table on which there is a ceramic jug and a skull, with an open book at the foot of it. The man looks towards a woman, who points to something outside, and appears accompanied by a large frog and a series of ghostly beings or monsters dressed in brightly colored cloth and clothing.
San Antonio Abad or Antonio Magno (251-356) was a Christian monk, considered the founder of the eremitical movement. He was tempted numerous times by the devil while he was in the desert, becoming a subject frequently represented in art (as can be seen in this oil painting). He is represented in a black habit because the Order of the Knights of the Hospital of San Antonio (Hospitals) was placed under his patronage, being the color of the habits of the members of this order (the tau or Egyptian cross was also the symbol chosen by they).
David Teniers II or El Joven was a prominent Flemish painter and engraver, son of David Teniers El Viejo or I and father of David Teniers III, much appreciated at the time for his scenes of villagers and common people, his paintings of monkey painters, etc. . He dealt with the theme of the Temptations of Saint Anthony...

Original Antique 17th-Century Map of Shanxi (Xansi) Province, China – by Blaeu
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique 17th-Century Map of Shanxi Province, China – "Xansi" by Blaeu, with Artistic Cartouches
Description: This beautifully engraved map of Shanxi Province, historically referred to as "Xansi," was created by Johannes Blaeu in 1655 as part of his renowned *Novus Atlas Sinensis*. This atlas was the first comprehensive Western collection focused on Chinese geography, produced with the guidance of Jesuit missionary Martino Martini. Blaeu’s attention to detail and artistic flair are evident in this representation of Shanxi, highlighting mountains, rivers, cities, towns, and key geographic features. The Great Wall of China, an iconic landmark, is also depicted.
The map includes decorative cartouches that enhance its aesthetic appeal. The upper-left corner features the map's title framed in an ornate design, while the lower-right corner showcases a seated figure in traditional Chinese attire alongside a small globe, symbolizing the merging of European cartographic expertise and Chinese knowledge. Each city and geographic feature is labeled in Latin, making it a fascinating historical artifact of cross-cultural exploration.
This map was crafted using the copperplate engraving technique, prized for its ability to produce fine, precise details. It is further embellished with hand-coloring, which brings the landscape and decorative elements to life. Blaeu’s maps are highly regarded for their accuracy, artistry, and historical significance, making this piece a valuable collectible.
Shanxi Province, historically referred to as "Xansi," is renowned for its historical significance, natural landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. The region has been a crucial center of Chinese history and culture for centuries. Its name, meaning "West of the Mountains," refers to its location west of the Taihang Mountains. Shanxi has long been known for its coal resources, which have made it an important economic hub in modern times.
Important places in Shanxi include Pingyao, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved ancient city walls and traditional Chinese architecture. The Yungang Grottoes, near Datong, are another UNESCO site, famous for their intricate Buddhist carvings and statues. Mount Wutai, one of China’s Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains, is a significant religious site that attracts pilgrims and tourists alike. Taiyuan, the provincial capital, is known for its historical sites, including the Jinci Temple. Shanxi is also known for its role in the early development of Chinese banking, particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

17th-Century Original Antique Map of Guangxi Province, China – Qvangsii by Blaeu
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Antique 17th-Century Map of Guangxi Province, China – "Qvangsii" by Blaeu, Richly Illustrated and Colored
Description: This fascinating 17th-century map of Guangxi Province, historically referred to as "Qvangsii," was crafted by Johannes Blaeu and published in 1655 as part of the *Novus Atlas Sinensis*. Blaeu’s atlas, created in collaboration with Jesuit missionary Martino Martini, introduced European audiences to the geography of China in an unprecedented way. Guangxi Province, known for its striking karst landscapes and important historical trade routes, is depicted here in remarkable detail.
The map highlights the province’s topography, including mountain ranges, rivers, and towns, all meticulously engraved and labeled in Latin. It also captures key trade connections and cultural significance, as Guangxi historically served as a bridge between China and Southeast Asia. The decorative cartouche at the top left is adorned with figures in traditional Chinese costumes, symbolizing the cultural richness of the region and adding artistic elegance to the map.
This map was engraved using the copperplate technique, known for its ability to produce fine, detailed lines. The hand-coloring further enhances the visual impact, clearly distinguishing territorial divisions and natural features. Blaeu’s reputation for both accuracy and artistry is evident in this piece, making it a collector’s item of historical and aesthetic significance.
Guangxi Province, historically referred to as "Qvangsii," is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, unique karst landscapes, and cultural diversity. It is famous for its dramatic limestone formations, verdant hills, and picturesque rivers, making it one of the most visually striking regions in China.

It is also home to various ethnic minority groups, including the Zhuang, Miao, and Dong, whose traditions and festivals enrich the region's cultural tapestry.
Important places in Guangxi include Guilin, known for its iconic karst mountains and the Li River, which has inspired poets and artists for centuries.

Located in Langweer, NL
Title: 17th-Century Antique Map of Jiangxi Province, China – "Kiangsi" by Blaeu, Detailed and Vibrantly Colored
Description: This detailed 17th-century map of Jiangxi Province, historically referred to as "Kiangsi," was created by Johannes Blaeu and published in 1655 as part of the *Novus Atlas Sinensis*. Jiangxi, located in southeastern China, is known for its cultural heritage, scenic landscapes, and significant contributions to Chinese history.
The map meticulously charts Jiangxi’s geography, including mountain ranges, rivers, and cities, with place names rendered in Latin. Poyang Lake, one of the largest freshwater lakes in China, is prominently depicted, emphasizing the region’s ecological and economic importance. The map also highlights key cities such as Nanchang, the provincial capital, which has long been a cultural and political center, and Jingdezhen, globally famous as the center of Chinese porcelain production.
The decorative cartouche in the lower-right corner features traditional Chinese figures, adding cultural depth to the map. Blaeu’s craftsmanship is evident in the precise copperplate engraving and the vibrant hand-coloring, which enhances the boundaries and natural features, making this map both a functional document and a work of art.
Condition: Nearly excellent. Sharp impression with vivid hand-coloring. Wide margins with minor age-toning appropriate for its age.
Framing Tips: Use a neutral double mat and an ornate gilt or dark wood frame to highlight the map’s historical and artistic value. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the hand-coloring and intricate details.
Jiangxi, historically referred to as "Kiangsi," is famous for its rich cultural history, stunning landscapes, and economic contributions. It has been a key region for porcelain production, with Jingdezhen renowned as the "Porcelain Capital" of the world. Poyang Lake, featured prominently on the map, is vital for fishing, transportation, and its ecological significance. The province’s location along the Gan River has historically made it an important transportation corridor. Nanchang, the provincial capital, is noted for its historical landmarks and political significance in modern Chinese history.
