Limoges enamel plate featuring Deianeira and the Centaur Nessus. In Ovid's Metamorphosis, Hercules marries Deianeira after conquering Achelous and puts her in the care of Nessus, a centaur, who offers to help her cross the Euenos river.

1584 Ortelius Map of Switzerland: A Cartographic Reversal
Located in Langweer, NL
This is a fine example of Ortelius' map of Switzerland from his *Theatrum Orbis Terrarum*, recognized as the first modern atlas of the world. The map is oriented with south at the top, which reverses the typical north-up orientation seen in most modern maps. It highlights significant geographical features such as Lake Geneva (Lemanus Lacus) to the right of the map and the Rhine river entering Switzerland near the center.
The *Theatrum Orbis Terrarum*, first published in 1570 by Abraham Ortelius in Antwerp, was groundbreaking as it compiled uniform maps with supporting text in a single volume, marking a departure from earlier collections of maps that were custom-assembled on demand. This atlas included a wealth of sixteenth-century cartographic knowledge, reflecting the extensive global explorations occurring after the discovery of America...

The Valley of Inspruck: An 18th-Century Engraved Perspective, 1792
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "The Valley of Inspruck: An 18th-Century Engraved Perspective"
This elegant original antique engraving, titled "The Valley of Inspruck," showcases a serene view of the Innsbruck Valley. The artwork is delicately rendered, capturing the grandeur of the mountains and the pastoral tranquility of the valley.
The print depicts a detailed landscape scene, replete with towering craggy peaks that loom over a peaceful settlement nestled in the valley. A striking feature is the contrast between the ruggedness of the natural environment and the cultivated lands and architecture, indicating a harmonious coexistence of humanity with nature.
It was published as directed on January 1, 1792, by T & G Egerton of Whitehall for the author. Albanis Beaumont is credited with the original design ('Del.' for delineavit, indicating he drew the initial illustration), and Cornelis Apostool is noted for the engraving work ('Sculp.' for sculpsit, indicating he engraved the image).
The publication of this print during the late 18th century aligns with a time when there was a heightened interest in natural beauty and the picturesque, reflected in the art and literature of the Romantic period. This print would have appealed to those with an appreciation for both the aesthetic and the sublime qualities of the European landscape.
The publication by T & G Egerton, a reputable firm known for their work in the arts, and the involvement of a skilled artist and engraver like Beaumont and Apostool, respectively, underline the quality and desirability of the print. It is a piece that would attract collectors of fine engravings and admirers of European landscapes, offering a window into the aesthetic values and artistic endeavors of the late 18th century.
As a historical piece, this print offers a view into the past, inviting contemplation of the rich cultural and natural heritage of the Innsbruck area. It is a valuable collectible for enthusiasts of antique maps and prints...

Antique Engraving of Majorinus, Bishop of Carthage of the Donatist Sect, 1701
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print, titled: 'Majorinus Numida'
Majorinus was a bishop of Carthage in dispute with Ceacilianus. He favored the so-called Donatist sect. Het died ca. 329 AD. The background to the controversy was the wave of persecutions of Christians by the Roman Emperor Diocletian. At that time some Church leaders - unwilling to endure torture or death and become martyrs - had been ready to take such acts as worshipping the gods of the old pantheon, considered idols by Christians, or surrendering church books and property to the imperial authorities. Such people became known as 'traditors' ("surrenderers"). One of these "traditors", named Caecilian, had returned to the fold of the Church once the persecutions ended, and was consecrated Bishop of Carthage and Primate of North Africa. Those of the faithful who refused to accept the authority of such a spiritual leader raised Majorinus as a rival bishop; however, Majorinus died shortly after being consecrated, and it fell to Donatus to take his place and continue the struggle.
This rare print originates from: 'Historie der Kerken en Ketteren van den beginne des Nieuwen Testaments tot aan het Jaar onses Heeren 1688. Onzydig in 't Hoogduytsch beschreeven, door den Hoog-geleerden Heer Godfried Arnold, Voor deezen Hoog-Leeraar in de Historien tot Giesen. In het Neederduyts vertaald. Vercierd met verscheyde Koopere Plaaten door den Heer Romeyn de Hooghe.' (transl.: History of Churches and Heretics from the start of the New Testament until the year of our lord 1688 ...), by Godfried Arnold, Dutch edition published by Sebastiaan Petzold, Amsterdam 1701. This edition contains portraits of heretic figures, etched by the reknown Romeyn de Hooghe.
Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Romeyn de Hooghe' after an anonymous artist. Gottfried Arnold (pseud. Christophorus Irenaeus) was an important representative of the so-called radical Pietism, publicist, church historian and chants writer (so he was believed to have written the well-known Church song 'O Durchbrecher aller Bande'). Arnold studied theology in Wittenberg. From the Lutheran Orthodoxy he converted, through writings of Spener, to Pietism, associating later into a circle around the court preacher Sprögel, who was influenced by Jakok Böhm. Many medieval mystics were later re-issued by him. In addition he was clearly influenced by Grotius and the early enlightenment. His quest for the 'true' Christianity rightly brought him in the early Church. So he arranged an edition containing the sermons of the desert father Macarius. Arnold was a skilled patristicus, although he did not escape from the creation of an ideal image of the Christian life in the early Church, in his view a flowering time which ended with the reign of Constantine. His first study of the early Church ('Die erste Liebe der Gemeinen Jesu Christi') provided him a professor position in Gießen, a post which he soon left, disappointed by what he called the 'Ruhmsachtige Vernunftwesen des akademischen Lebens'. He continued as an individual scientist and he published books and poems. His main work is 'Unparteiischen Kirchen- und Ketzerhistorie' (1699-1700), of which this is the Dutch translation. He adapts in this study the reformatory decay theory, where the censure lies no longer with Constantine, but the post-Apostolic time. The decay is temporarily lifted with the Reformation, but occurres again soon, so that even the contemporary institutional Protestantism lies under the fire of his criticism. On the other hand he favours the 'Church of the spirit' that existed in all times (invisible) and is characterised by avoiding the world and asceticism. Not the orthodoxy, but the subjectivity of religious man...
