arnould de vuez
Arnould De Vuez (Saint-Omer 1644-1720 Lille) Jacob and Ésaü reconciliation, circa 1678 Oil on canvas 105 x 137 cm Provenance: private collection, Périgord since 1920; by inheritance, the artist's descendants; fonds d'atelier d'Arnould Vuez Arnould de Vuez, a key Flemish historical painter of the second half of the 17th century, was trained by Claude François in his Parisian studio, himself trained by Simon Vouet. The master sent his pupil to Italy so he could get the finest education surrounded by Old Master works. He won the first prize of the Roman Saint Luc Academy in 1677. In 1681, Arnould de Vuez was received at the Royal Academy of Paintings and Sculpture for the alliance between France and Bavaria allegory (Louvre Museum). A decade later, in 1692, he was commissioned by the brotherhood of goldsmiths to paint the « Mays » of Notre-Dame picturing the disbelief of Saint Thomas (Lyon, Saint Jean Primatial). In 1694, soon after Charles Le Brun’s death, with whom he collaborated in Versailles, Arnould de Vuez established himself in Lille where he was commissioned with great orders. He was in charge of the religious monuments, in which he blends Poussin’s classicism lessons, Le Brun inspiration and Rubens influence. His work is characterized by a structured composition, retained drapery and a taste for orthogonal lines. Poussin’s influence should be noted in this frieze composition, as well as the Italian Masters, such as the young men’s head copied from the Athen’s school by Raphael.

Heutink Ikonen
Ascension of Christ Russia (Yaroslavl), 17th century Egg tempera with gold leaf on a wooden panel surfaced with gesso and linen 72 x 48.5 cm This monumental icon shows an unusual division of planes. In the upper register, Christ is depicted in a green mandorla that is carried to heaven by two angels. The footprints in the earth beneath the mandorla show how Christ was still standing on the earth shortly before. The disciples left beneath gaze and point upwards in wonder. Noticeably, the disciples are standing before the openings of a cave, a reminder of Christ's resurrection from the grave. Directly below Christ, the Mother of God is depicted, flanked by radiant white angels. She bows her head slightly and raises her hands in prayer and reception - a pose reminiscent of the Annunciation. Just as Mary received her divine child at that time, she now leaves him to return to his heavenly father.
