About the Item

17th Century Oil Painting "The Ecstasy Saint Teresa of Avila" by Peter Van Lindt (1609-1690). Pieter van Lint (1609–1690) was a Flemish Baroque painter, active in Antwerp and Italy, who painted both religious subjects and genre scenes. He was born at Antwerp. After studying under Artus Wolffort, Van Lint become a master in the Guild of Saint Luke in 1633. In that same year he traveled to Rome where he remained until 1640. While there he worked for Cardinal Domenico Ginnasio, Bishop of Ostia, who employed him to decorate the cathedral in that city. Van Lint also frescoed the Cibo family chapel in Santa Maria del Popolo with the Legend of the True Cross. In addition to religious commissions, the artist painted numerous small genre scenes in the style of the Bamboccianti. Van Lint's paintings after returning to Antwerp — where he remained for the rest of his career — demonstrate a classicist style influenced by his Roman stay. Many of his later works were religious paintings, such as the Marriage of the Virgin (1640) in Antwerp Cathedral. Besides larger paintings, his small-scale devotional paintings also found a market in Spain and Spanish colonies in America. Students include Pieter Ijkens and Godfried Maes. Teresa of Ávila, (March 28, 1515 – October 4, 1582) was a prominent Spanish mystic, Roman Catholic saint, Carmelite nun, writer of the Counter Reformation, and theologian of contemplative life through mental prayer. She was a reformer of the Carmelite Order and is considered to be a founder of the Discalced Carmelites along with John of the Cross. In a vision she described in her writings, a seraph drove the fiery point of a golden lance repeatedly through her heart, causing an ineffable spiritual-bodily pain. "I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it..." The memory of this episode served as an inspiration throughout the rest of her life, and motivated her lifelong imitation of the life and suffering of Jesus, epitomized in the motto usually associated with her: Lord, either let me suffer or let me die. This vision was the inspiration for one of Bernini's most famous works, the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa at Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome as well as this oil painting by Pieter van Lindt.

Late 17th Century Oil Portrait of a Lady

Located in Lymington, GB

An oil on canvas portrait of a young French courtier, circa 1690. This evocative antique French-school picture has been attributed to the portrait painter Jean-François de Troy (1679-1752). De Troy was famous as a portrait painter of fashionable society women. This is a very attractive late-17th century painting surviving in its original frame and stretcher. The canvas appears to be untouched. References: 'Jean François de Troy, The Alarm, or the Gouvernante Fidèle', at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
