About the Item

Set of Three Dutch Naval Portraits – Kortenaer, Kallenberg, and Van Nes, c.1700s Description: A fine set of three 18th-century copperplate engraved portraits depicting prominent Dutch naval leaders from the 17th century, each within an oval frame and with a caption panel below. From left to right: 1. Egbert Meeuwszoon Kortenaer – Lieutenant-Admiral of Holland and West Friesland. Kortenaer (1604–1665) distinguished himself in the First and Second Anglo-Dutch Wars and fell mortally wounded at the Battle of Lowestoft. His leadership and tactical acumen made him one of the most respected admirals of his generation. 2. Gerard Kallenberg – Lieutenant-Admiral of Holland and West Friesland. Kallenberg served as a senior flag officer, holding one of the highest naval ranks in the Dutch Republic. His portrait appears in multiple naval biographical series, attesting to his prominent position. 3. Aert van Nes – Lieutenant-Admiral of Holland and West Friesland. Van Nes (1626–1693) played a decisive role in several key naval engagements during the Anglo-Dutch Wars and was noted for his steady command and seamanship. These engravings were likely produced for a large-scale illustrated naval history or a collected biography of Dutch admirals, a popular genre in the Netherlands during the 18th century. Each print demonstrates fine craftsmanship, with intricate hatching and cross-hatching used to render facial expressions, costume details, and armour with clarity and depth. Condition report: Very good condition with clean impressions and only slight toning from age. Paper sound, margins intact. Framing tips: A panoramic frame with a neutral mount will present these portraits to best effect. Dark wood, black, or gilt moulding will complement their formal style. Technique: Copperplate engraving on laid paper Maker: Various Dutch engravers, after contemporary portraits; c.1700s

Set of Three Signed Sturtevant Serigraphs
By Elaine Sturtevant
Located in NYC, NY
A set of three prints by influential American artist Elaine Sturtevant, studying circular motion and riffing/ripping (depending on your views on copyright) off the works of Robert Rauschenberg, Marcel Duchamp and Alexander Calder. Labelled and Each signed 'Sturtevant' and from an edition of 60. Sturtevant was born in Lakewood, Ohio (USA) and spent the first years of her artistic life working in New York - where in 1956, she began to manually reproduce paintings and objects created by her contemporaries with results that cannot immediately be identified from an original. Sturtevant intentionally turns the concept of originality on its head... All of her works are copies of the works of other artists; none is an original. She initially focused on works by such American artists as Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Jasper Johns, and Andy Warhol. In the late 1960s, she concentrated on replicating works by Joseph Beuys and Duchamp. Since the early 1980s, she has focused on the next generation of artists, including Robert Gober, Anselm Kiefer, Paul McCarthy, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres. She masters painting, sculpture, photography and film in order to produce a full range of copies of her chosen artist's work. In most cases, her decision to start copying an artist happened before those artists achieved broader recognition. Nearly all of the artists she chose to copy are today considered iconic for their time or style. This has given rise to discussions amongst art critics on how it has been possible for Sturtevant to identify these now famous artists at such an early stage. A notable incident in her career emphasizes just *how* technically talented she is at assimilation and reproduction of an artistic style: In 1965 a Jasper Johns flag...
