Kuba Mask African Bwoom Tribal Congo in Wood, Vibrates Vegetables, Animal Hair
Located in Milano, IT
The African Kuba Bwoom tribal mask is the oldest known mask, the Kuba bwoom mask. The materials used for the realization of the Mask are: Wood, colors and vibrates plants, caures, beads, animal hair. In dance it expresses exuberance and joy. The style is similar to that of the middle Kasai. This mask is a helmet with animal hair, carved with a very wide forehead and hollow cheeks that are announced by motifs or dashes and beads. The mouth of the mask is very pronounced carved in wood and then applied on the mask. To distinguish the forehead in different areas are used black and white beads to draw attention to other aspects of the face such as the nose and chin. The entire edge of the chin is surrounded by beads of various colors. The person wearing the mask cannot look because there are no holes for the eyes present; the mask must create the feeling of being blind. Some masks similar to the bwoom mask include the funny mask, the ram mask and initiation masks such as Nnup.

1667 Melchior Tavernier Map of the Patriarchate of Constantinople – Black Sea, G
Located in Langweer, NL
This 1667 map titled "Patriarchatus Constantinopolitani Geographica Descriptio" was crafted by renowned French cartographer Melchior Tavernier, who was a prominent map engraver during the 17th century. This rare and historically significant map focuses on the territories under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, one of the most important centers of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
It covers regions around the Black Sea (Pontus Euxinus), parts of Greece, and adjacent areas in Asia Minor and the Balkans, which were historically vital during the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. The map is filled with ancient place names, making it a valuable resource for both historical and cartographic enthusiasts.

- Features beautifully detailed ancient coastlines, rivers, and terrains, providing a comprehensive geographical view of the region.
- Rich with historic place names - like Byzantium, Nicomedia, Nicaea, Cyzicus, Bithynia, Pontus, Macedonia, and Thrace - that date back to the classical era, offering insights into the ancient geography of the eastern Mediterranean.
- A finely engraved strapwork cartouche in the lower right corner with Baroque-style decoration, featuring two putti (cherubic figures) – a hallmark of 17th-century map art.
- The map extends to include the Mediterranean Sea (Mare Mediterraneum) to the south and the Black Sea to the north, highlighting its ecclesiastical and geopolitical significance.
- Original hand coloring may still be present, enhancing the decorative appeal for collectors of antique maps.

Madonna Maria Piola Paint Oil on canvas 17/18th Century Old master Religious
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Anton Maria Piola (Genoa, 1654 - 1715) circle
Madonna and Child
Genoese school of the second half of the 17th century
Oil on canvas
93 x 74 cm.- In antique frame 110 x 92 cm.
(Work with expertise by Dr. Arabella Cifani)
In the pleasing work proposed, depicting a classical Nativity scene, the Madonna is immortalised in adoration as she gently holds the sheet on which the Child is lying, with a gesture of protection and pride that facilitates an atmosphere of intimate recollection, in addition to the presence of three cherubs at the top.
The stylistic analysis of the canvas can easily be traced back to a painter of the Genoese school and active during the 17th century, specifically with the devotional works from the workshop of Domenico Piola (Genoa, 1627-1703), an absolute protagonist of Genoese Baroque culture.
Piola was the owner of the most important city painting workshop of the time, known as 'Casa Piola', where his sons Paolo Gerolamo and Anton Maria also collaborated.
His production, which specialised in a type of highly decorative, profane and allegorical paintings, destined for the decoration of Genoese patrician palaces, also included a refined series of works of a religious nature.
In particular, the style of our beautiful breast painting...

The prints, titled *Onoclea Sensibilis*, *Fadyenia Prolifera*, and *Cyclopeltis Semicordata*, are superbly hand-colored lithographs.

Lowe’s work is a masterpiece of Victorian botanical illustration, with each fern illustrated in intricate detail. The coloring is crisp and true to life, highlighting the natural beauty of these species. *Onoclea Sensibilis*, known as the Sensitive Fern, showcases its iconic fronds and distinctive fertile spikes. *Fadyenia Prolifera* features slender leaves and beautifully curled leaflets, while *Cyclopeltis Semicordata* exhibits the fine details of its rich, green pinnate leaves.
These hand-colored lithographs were produced by the noted printers, Day & Son, who were renowned for their high-quality printwork during the 19th century. Lowe’s publication is highly prized among collectors, gardeners, and botanists alike.

17th Century Oil on Canvas Italian Religious Painting The Unfaithful Farmer 1680
Located in Vicoforte, Piedmont
Antique Italian painting from the 17th century. Artwork oil on canvas depicting a particular religious subject, the Parable of the unfaithful farmer. Once upon a time there was a farmer who fraudulently administered his master's assets. Before being fired, he tries to recover part of the credits by making important discounts to creditors, who will be grateful to him. The master, instead of condemning this behavior which is detrimental to him, praises the cunning of the farmer. This story is meant to urge believers to do whatever is necessary before the imminent arrival of the Kingdom of God and its judgment. Painting that develops vertically adorned with a wooden frame not coeval carved, lacquered and gilded. Painting that focuses on the characters in the foreground, a patina that does not allow a perfect view of the architecture and of the foreshortening on the left (see photo), painted to be cleaned...

Caravaggesque Oil on Copper "Flagellation of Christ" Baroque Sicilian, 17th Cent
By (After) Caravaggio
Located in Milano, IT
Splendid 17th-century Italian painting by unknown artist, but certainly a follower of Caravaggio, relying on style and drawing.
The painting has a very beautiful gilded wooden frame, with a subtle greek with spheres and an overlying rectangular frame with sinuous flowers on each corner, very elegant and beautiful.
The painting depicts one of the most depicted religious scenes ever, the scourging of Christ, and is entirely done in oil on copper.
The scourging of Jesus is an episode narrated in the Gospels (Mk15:15-16; Mt27:26-27; Lk23:16-26; Jn19:1-17[1]).
Scourging is a flogging, particularly bloody, by means of sticks, rods or cat-o-nine-tails, the latter instrument consisting, in the Roman typology, of a short stick to which were secured several strings ending in metal claws, leads and bone splinters that caused tremendous lacerations and fractures to the tortured person. Chains are used in this scene, both to immobilize Jesus Christ and to flog him, as we can see in the upper right hand of the scourger.
According to some personal research, it turned out that the actual scourging of Christ was mostly depicted at the column, while this Christ is on the ground, so presumably Christ here is scourged during the Way of the Cross at one of those stages where he fell.
The painting has a very dark coloring, which is why this painting is believed to faithfully follow Caravaggio's style of dry, authoritarian brushstrokes. The painting shows a figure agonizing on the ground that continues to receive beatings and floggings of all kinds, representing Christ; his face is crucified in a loquacious expression of pain, he turns his eyes to heaven as if to invoke God, but at the same time those same eyes admonish the wickedness and arrogance inherent in humanity.
Christ has one hand resting on the ground in the act of holding himself, while the other takes a completely unnatural stance against the barren ground. His body appears hardened to wanting to parry the blows, his legs are curled up on his knees as he takes kicks from the soldier above him. Christ is depicted pinned down from the neck with a very large and strong black iron bolt held by the other soldier. The soldier on the right in the foreground wears a one-shoulder tunic with an orange tunic and blue pants. On his feet he wears gray shoes, at his waist he has a belt with an iron helmet...
